Proposal discussing the need for addition of an objective test procedure for post-crash testing and improvement in currently described subjective HF audio
assessment procedure.
Revised proposal to establish an IWG on Mechanical Couplings for Agricultural Vehicles
Reference Number: GRRF-81-09/Rev.1
One of the outcomes of the work on updating UN R55 was the recognition that agricultural couplings present a set of challenges distinct from other vehicles. This revised proposal takes into account comments received during the February 2016 GRRF session for the establishment of an informal working group to develop a new regulation (UN R55-A) to respond to the specific needs of agricultural vehicle couplings.
Proposal for a Supplement to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 55
Reference Number: GRRF-81-34
Revised proposal to ensure that coupling balls do not block rear lighting and/or registration plates. In line with the EU General Safety Rule, Annex IV specification for application of UN R55, couplings that might block lighting or plates must be removable, repositionable, and unlockable in order to make it easier for users to remove them or reposition them when not in use (e.g., towing a trailer.) Coupling balls that are so designed as to be unable to block lighting or plates may still incorporate locks and/or require tools to remove or reposition.
At the May 2015 Type Approval Authorities Meeting (TAAM), Poland raised concerns (attached with this submission) over small M1 vehicles being equipped with aftermarket coupling devices where the vehicle in question is not designed for towing a trailer. In effect, these vehicles are not permitted to tow trailers, but are nonetheless enabled to be equipped for such a purpose by the aftermarket devices. Therefore, Poland proposes to amend UN R55 to ensure that coupling devices are only approved for use on vehicles approved for towing trailers.
Proposal to allow the use of Class 0 hoses with couplings using sealing technologies other than those with a 45° cone. Currently, non-seamless double and single wall tubes are used in brake and fuel tubing applications, allowing for the use of a variety of end forms and coupling techniques. Provided the tubing can withstand the applicable tests according to Annex 15, Table 1, such configurations should be permitted under UN R67 in order to remove an unwarranted design restriction.
Proposal to expand the scope of the regulation by deleting paragraph 1.2.2. which allows for the exclusion of “vehicles designed and constructed for special purposes where it is not possible, for practical reasons, to fit lateral protection devices” from the text. The UK submits that paragraphs 13 and 16 of the regulation provide specific provisions that address this situation whereas the exclusion clause allows for a broader interpretation that unnecessarily limits the use of lateral protection devices. Moreover, exemptions may still be accorded at the national level.
Proposal to transfer electrical safety provisions for trolleybuses (Annex 12) from UN R107 to UN R100. In 2006, the provisions of UN R36, UN R52, and UN R107 were merged through the 02 series of amendments to UN R107. In 2015, Annex 12 of UN R107 was amended to align additional safety prescriptions for electrical safety of trolleybuses with the corresponding electrical standards. However, UN R100 has evolved beyond its initial focus on battery electric vehicles and currently presents a more appropriate location for maintaining the trolleybus electrical safety provision of Annex 12. For the provisions of Annex 1 – Part 1 – Appendices 1, 2 and 3, where a list of characteristics of a trolleybus was added apart from the special environmental conditions, a reference will be inserted to Annex 6 – Part 1 and Annex 7 of UN Regulation No. 100. A corresponding proposal for amendments will be submitted as an official document to the Working Party on Passive Safety.
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 to allow the use of Class 0 hoses with couplings using sealing technologies other than those with a 45° cone. Currently, non-seamless double and single wall tubes are used in brake and fuel tubing applications, allowing for the use of a variety of end forms and coupling techniques. Provided the hose assembly can withstand the impulse test of paragraph 1.7. and the tests of Annexes 5A (overpressure test) and 5B (external leakage test), such configurations should be permitted under UN R67 in order to remove an unwarranted design restriction. In cases where a soft seal body (e.g. O-ring) is used, the compatibility of the material with use conditions must be demonstrated by testing according to Annexes 5D (CNG/LNG compatibility test), Annex 5F (resistance to dry heat) and Annex 5G (ozone aging).
Proposal to correct a typographical error in paragraph 7.1. where the reference should be to paragraph 8.22 rather than 8.21, to remove a duplicate and contradictory reference in Annex 4A to the requirements of Class 1 pressure relief valves, and to align paragraph 2.2. of Annex 4H with paragraph 18.6.1.2. limiting the delay in switching-off of the automatic valve after stalling of the engine to two seconds (rather than five as presently in the text).
Proposal for the 03 series of amendments to Regulation No. 118
Reference Number: GRSG/2016/3
Proposal to clarify the scope and the application of the regulation. The proposal clarifies that the regulation applies to “the burning behaviour of electric cables and cable sleeves or cable conduits used in the vehicle” and it updates the reference to paragraph 5.22. of ISO 6722-1:2011. Specifically, the proposal would apply testing to electric cables, cable sleeves, and cable conduits that exceed a length of 100 mm.
IWVTA regulation: Draft update for versions of UN Regulations in Annex 4, Section I
Reference Number: SGR0-19-07
WP.29 adoption of the new IWVTA regulation (UN Regulation No. 0) is anticipated for March 2017 with an entry-into-force the following October. This initial regulation (00 series of amendments) will include UN Regulations as they stand prior to September 2, 2017. However, a number of these regulations contain transitional provisions such that new versions will enter into force during the 12 months following this cut-off date. Therefore, this document proposes a list of such regulations that would be included in the 01 series of amendments to UN R0 to be submitted for adoption by WP.29 in November 2017. In concept, UN R0 would be updated with these “upgraded” versions of the UN Regulations.

IWVTA regulation: Revised draft update for versions of UN Regulations in Annex 4, Section I
Reference Number: SGR0-19-07/Rev.1
WP.29 adoption of the new IWVTA regulation (UN Regulation No. 0) is anticipated for March 2017 with an entry-into-force the following October. This initial regulation (00 series of amendments) will include UN Regulations as they stand prior to September 2, 2017. However, a number of these regulations contain transitional provisions such that new versions will enter into force during the 12 months following this cut-off date. Therefore, this document (updated from the earlier version) proposes a list of such regulations that would be included in the 01 series of amendments to UN R0 to be submitted for adoption by WP.29 in November 2017. In concept, UN R0 would be updated with these “upgraded” versions of the UN Regulations.
Proposal for the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 66
Reference Number: GRSG/2016/11
Proposal to define an exemption for handles from “residual/survival space” intrusion requirements for vehicle spaces not intended for occupants. Handles and handholds used to assist passengers in entering and exiting a bus are located outside of passenger seating and standing areas where OICA argues that they do not present a danger; however, the current rollover testing provisions could result in their inclusion in the area defined as “residual/survival space” where any intrusion is prohibited.
Proposal for the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 105
Reference Number: GRSG/2016/13
Proposal prepared by the UNECE secretariat to align the provisions of UN Regulation No. 105 with those of the new 2017 edition of the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR).

Proposal for amendments to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 67
Reference Number: GRSG-110-13
Proposal to insert new safety provisions with regard to LPG systems having hydraulic interconnections with the petrol or diesel fueling system through which inter-flows of fuels may occur.
Proposal for amendments to Series 04 to 07 of Regulation No. 107
Reference Number: GRSG-110-09
Proposal to clarify paragraph 7.7.5.1. with regard to ceiling-mounted displays or monitors and simplify the testing procedure:
The gauge shall be used only for the identification of the monitors to be tested.
The simplified way to apply the removal force corresponds to a passenger pushing the monitor/display with its hand, and in these conditions the acceptable force limit is adapted.
The test must be conducted in both directions.
The proposed wording for the last condition to fulfil is more technology neutral, the case of automatic redeployment is also considered and banned.
Draft proposal for Supplement 1 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 121
Reference Number: GRSG-110-06
Proposal to enable the use of alternate colors (per footnote 18 of Table 1 and in line with ISO Standard 2575) for certain lighting tell-tales in order to indicate light source failures in response to the proposals for light failure indicators under UN Regulations Nos. 7, 48 and 87 (GRE/2016/7, GRE/2016/12 and GRE/2016/17) as adopted by GRE. This proposal anticipates use of the same approach in response to plans for additional failure indication requirements for other lighting regulations.

Reference Number: GRSG-110-15
Working draft prepared by the Informal Working Group on AECS as a discussion document for GRSG.
Proposal to amend document GRSG/2016/2 by replacing paragraph 1.2.2. rather than deleting it. Drawing from the recently approved amendment to UN R58 (document GRSG/2015/17), this proposal would amend paragraph 1.2.2. to read, “Vehicles where any LDP (e.g. fixed, removable, foldable, adjustable, etc.) is incompatible with their use on [traffic] roads may be partly or fully exempted from this Regulation, subject to the decision of the Type Approval Authority.”
Revised proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 73
Reference Number: GRSG-110-20/Rev.1
Updated proposal, revised for clarity, to amend document GRSG/2016/2 by replacing paragraph 1.2.2. rather than deleting it. Drawing from the recently approved amendment to UN R58 (document GRSG/2015/17), this proposal would amend paragraph 1.2.2. to read, “Vehicles where any LDP (e.g. fixed, removable, foldable, adjustable, etc.) is incompatible with their on-road use may be partly or fully exempted from this Regulation, subject to the decision of the Type Approval Authority.”
Proposal for supplements to the 05, 06 and 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107
Reference Number: GRSG-110-21
Proposal to extend requirements introduced via Supplement 4 to the 04 series of amendments concerning barriers in the gangway and the amount of priority seats to the 05, the 06 and the 07 series of amendments.
Proposal to allow for the use of natural gas refrigeration systems to vehicles propelled by natural gas (CNG or LNG). This proposal addresses a new, environmentally friendly natural gas fuelled refrigeration system for trucks with refrigerated loads that already are propelled by natural gas. Currently paragraph 18.1.7.1 allows heating systems to be fitted on vehicles to heat the passenger compartment and/or the load area of a vehicle, however, the same provision omits cooling systems that are used on trucks for the carriage of loads requiring refrigeration.
Proposal of corrections to document GRSG/2016/7. The wording of the original proposal opens the possible interpretation that the regulation allows materials other than copper, stainless steel, or steel with corrosion-resistant coatings for gas tubes. The intention of the proposal was only to allow for “non-seamless” gas tubing. The original proposal is therefore modified to allow Class 0/I hoses with couplings using gas tubes of other than seamless material.
Editorial amendment to document GRSG/2016/8 for clarity. The original proposal would allow the use of Class 0 hoses with couplings using sealing technologies other than those with a 45° cone provided that the hose assembly can withstand the impulse test of paragraph 1.7. and the tests of Annexes 5A (overpressure test) and 5B (external leakage test). This proposal clarifies that the original sealing-cone specification or other compliant couplings, including designs with soft seals (e.g., O-ring) provided they pass testing described in Annexes 5D, 5F, and 5G.
Proposal from the informal working group on the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval to restructure UN R116 into two separate regulations. The regulation addresses anti-theft, alarm, and immobilizer aspects of theft prevention. Since these aspects may be mandatory or optional depending upon the country or market, the application of UN R116 to whole vehicle type approval becomes problematic. This proposal would extract the immobilizer provisions into a separate new regulation.
Proposal for a supplement to the 04 series of amendments to Regulation No. 46
Reference Number: GRSG-110-28
Proposal to change the latency for scanning a field of vision (total process of scanning, rendering and reset to its initial position) from a maximum of 2 seconds to a maximum of 200 ms. This proposal corresponds to the current state of technology and removes a contradiction within the regulation between paragraphs 6.2.1.2. and 6.2.2.3.4.3. (the latter introduced via supplement 2 to the 04 series of amendments).
Presentation of issues raised during discussions of the GRE Task Force on EMC requirements with regard to the application of several UN Regulations to trolley buses depending upon their configuration (e.g., dual-mode operation either connected to overhead cables or in standard bus mode).
Proposal to amend GRSG/2015/36 introducing requirements for the operation of a CNG heater when the vehicle is stationary and before starting the engine. The limitation on the number of valves used to operate the CNG combustion heater will require technical changes without any significant benefit. The proposal therefore deletes the limitation and introduces additional clarifications.
Draft Regulation on driver assist systems to avoid blind spot accidents
Reference Number: GRSG-110-18/Rev.1
Presentation on blind-spot accident data and work on the development of a test cycle to assess the effectiveness of blind-spot countermeasures to reduce the risk of VRU collisions.
Proposal for the 04 series of amendments to Regulation No. 80
Reference Number: GRSP-59-09/Rev.1
UN R80, paragraph 7.4.4. specifies that passengers in side-facing seats “shall be safeguarded by a vehicle part (e.g. partition, wall or seat back of a forward-facing seat) forward of the foremost side-facing seat”. Germany has determined that the current text has been misinterpreted with regard to the intended requirement for a safety device that does not break and maintains its capability to retain a passenger’s body in the event of an accident. This proposal clarifies that such any such structure “shall retain its safeguard function during testing”.
Presentation on the background and accomplishments of the GFV informal group from January 2008 to June 2016 as the group concludes its final effort on heavy-duty dual fuel engine retrofit systems.
NHTSA questions regarding failures of panoramic sunroofs and the draft amendments to GTR No. 6
Reference Number: PSG-05-06
The US safety agency raises questions concerning the specific nature of the observed failures and the scope of the test procedures to ensure that glazing with ceramic printed areas resist such failures. NHTSA notes anomalies in the data that might suggest failure modes specific to particular manufacturers and/or production batches while questioning the focus on panoramic sunroofs rather than all glazing where ceramic printing might be a potential cause of failure.
Proposal from the UN R55 informal group to allow the fitment of a secondary coupling and/or a brake away cable for un-braked O1 trailers or inertia braked trailers up to 3.5t which are equipped with class B coupling heads and class S drawbar eyes (38 mm, 40 mm, and others) and for the related use of integrated towing brackets.

Reference Number: GRSG/2016/15
Proposal for new safety provisions with regard to LPG systems having hydraulic interconnections with the petrol or diesel fueling system through which inter-flows of fuels may occur.
Proposal for Supplement 1 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 121
Reference Number: GRSG/2016/26
At its fifty-ninth session, GRSP approved a proposal for the 07 series of amendments to UN R16 to mandate safety belt reminders for all vehicle seats. This proposal aligns provisions in UN R121 with the changes to UN R16:
a) the term “seat belt” is replaced by “safety belt”,
b) the symbol for safety belt, defined in item 21 of Table 1 in the Regulation, may be displayed in different colours to convey different meanings. Therefore, the existing footnote 18 has been added to item 21, and
c) this symbol may be replaced by different symbols for seats other than those of the front row. Therefore, a new footnote 22 is added to item 21. This proposal does not change any of the technical requirements of UN R121.
Proposal for Supplement 5 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 43

Proposal for Supplement 1 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 121
Reference Number: GRSG-111-37
At its fifty-ninth session, GRSP approved a proposal for the 07 series of amendments to UN R16 ( (GRSP/2016/2 and GRSP/59, page 24) to mandate safety belt reminders for all vehicle seats. This proposal aligns provisions in UN R121 with the changes to UN R16:
a) the term “seat belt” is replaced by “safety belt”,
b) the symbol for safety belt, defined in item 21 of Table 1 in the Regulation, may be displayed in different colours to convey different meanings. Therefore, the existing footnote 18 has been added to item 21, and
c) this symbol may be replaced by different symbols for seats other than those of the front row. Therefore, a new footnote 22 is added to item 21.
Paragraph 5.1.5. is modified and paragraph 5.1.7. introduced to take into consideration the strict content of GRSP/59, page 24, paragraphs 8.4.3.2.1. and 8.4.4. on safety-belt reminder for occupants of rear seat row(s). This proposal does not change any of the technical requirements of UN R121.
