Proposal to allow for the approval of systems using non-seamless double and single wall tubes subject to testing for high pressure and high resistance to pressure pulses. The proposal would also add general test requirements for LPG fuel lines and couplings based on ISO Standard 15500 for compressed natural gas equipment.

In GRSG/2017/10, Poland proposes requirements for the LPG tank and its accessories. AEGPL notes that UN R67 requires a specific bonfire test of the container equipped with specific configurations of accessories which includes markings to indicate the extension number of each accessory corresponding to each configuration. In order to ensure that the user knows whether an accessory can be fitted with a specific container, AEGPL proposes to require marking the extension number on the accessories relevant to the bonfire test (multivalve, pressure relief valve and pressure relief device) in order to prevent/forbid the fitting of any accessory not approved for use in each container configuration. This alternative proposal to that in GRSG/2017/10 would imply a new marking requirement for accessories, but would avoid the proliferation of accessory type-approval numbers and increase in paperwork.

Proposal to introduce tolerances for dish, bayonet, and acme filling units in order to reduce risks of misuse in connecting these filling units with nozzles.

Proposal to introduce a maximum service life requirement of 15 years and for the location of the filling unit of the LPG tank on vehicles.

Proposal to require that components connecting the pressure relief device with the gaseous phase be made of metal.

Proposal to establish a requirement for easy access to the LPG container installation in order to permit visual (periodical) inspection as a means to reduce the safety risks, such as refueling explosion, due to corrosion.

Proposal to correct the cross-reference in paragraph 6.3.3.2. where “the test shall satisfy the conditions laid down in paragraph 6.1.3. of this Regulation” should refer to paragraph 6.1.1.3.

Proposal to clarify provisions concerning protection of the fuel tank in the event of vehicle collision in connection with the proposal by France in document GRSG-112-09 to align the French translation with the English original. The intent is to clarify the prohibition against the presence of elements likely to cause damage to the installed tank in the event of a collision rather than to the installation of the tank per se.

Proposal for editorial corrections to align the definition on plastic glazing between the original English version and the French translation as well as of the communication annex on principal/secondary characteristics for laminated-glass windscreens.

Proposal as adopted (originally submitted as a proposal for Supplement 2 to the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107) during the April 2017 GRSG session to address the concerns raised in document GRSG-111-35 through application of FprEN 16584-1:2015 and 2:2015, respectively referring to requirements for color contrast for signage and quality of audible information. The proposal also introduces provisions for passengers with limited mobility.

Presentation on the proposal for a new regulation on blind-spot information signalling for heavy vehicles.

Presentation supporting GRSG/2017/10 to clarify the definitions of LPG container accessories to facilitate coordination between the separate, independent approvals required for the LPG container and for its accessories.

Draft proposal under development by the IWVTA informal group to extract provisions from UN R116 into new regulations on immobilizers (see document GRSG-112-41) and vehicle alarm systems (see document GRSG-112-40) pursuant to the development of a new regulation on whole vehicle type approvals.

Draft proposal under development by the IWVTA informal group to extract provisions for vehicle alarm systems from UN R116 and into a new UN Regulation.

Draft proposal under development by the IWVTA informal group to extract provisions concerning immobilizers from UN R116 and into a new UN Regulation.

Proposal to align UN R43 with GTR 6 and UN R125 with regard to the aiming positions of the driver’s eyes. This proposal corrects inconsistencies introduced during the transposition of GTR 6 into UN R43.

Presentation in support of GRSG/2017/22 (Proposal to harmonize UN R110 with standard ISO 11439:2013 on high pressure cylinders for the on-board storage of natural gas as a fuel for automotive vehicles.)

Proposal for a new UN Regulation on AECS as approved by the April 2017 GRSG session for submission to the World Forum for adoption. The doc version provides mark-up notations. The pdf is a clean version of the approved text.

Under UN R80, head restraints must comply with the requirements of UN R25. This proposal updates the reference to UN R25 to specify compliance according to the 04 series of amendments (from the current reference to the 03 series of amendments). This change thus updates UN R80 to incorporate changes in impact-energy dissipation criteria made to UN R25 pursuant to changes allowing greater forward displacement of occupants under UN R16.
