There are some vehicle configurations for which MOIS may not work correctly (e.g.: because of the vehicle body, the vehicle use). This proposal would exempt these vehicles from the MOIS requirements as long as they are not ready to drive off or during operation of incompatible auxiliary equipment if it is agreed by the Type Approval Authority.

Proposal to introduce provisions for “automated vehicles” and to amend provisions for measurement of direct vision volume with regard to areas obscured by certain components.

Proposal by the IWG VRU-Proxi to amend document GRSG/2022/9 (proposal for amendments to resolve issues with the installation and functioning of BSIS on certain vehicle configurations).

Proposal from the VRU-Proxi informal group to allow some vehicle configurations for which MOIS may not work correctly (e.g.: because of the vehicle body, the vehicle use) to not fulfil the requirements of the MOIS as long as they are not ready to drive off or during operation of incompatible auxiliary equipment if it is agreed by the Type Approval Authority.

Proposal from the IWG VRU-Proxi to clarify the certification procedures This document supersedes document GRSG/2022/10.

Proposal to introduce a change of definition of working pressure for LNG, and introduce a value for that pressure in Annex 3B. Proposal also applicable for Supplement 2 to the 05 series of Amendments

Text to modify the consideration that the testing procedure is independent of the distance between the front axle and the foremost point of the vehicle. The reference point is the AHP.

Text corrects errors/mistakes in the current regulation and update text to be in line with the requirements coming from ISO15500 and NGV3.1 (industry standards for CNG)

This proposal supersedes ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2022/10. Text prepared by the experts from IWG VRU-Proxi to avoid and prevent misunderstandings in the certification process

All major amendments address the test tolerances of the subject vehicle and the test target only. They do not affect the Moving Off Information System safety requirements, however increased the system robustness and ensure the feasibility of physical test conditions and vehicle characteristics.

Reproduction of document GRSG-123-31 proposing to amend document GRSG/2022/10.

Proposal for a new UN Regulation for the type approval of automatic emergency braking systems designed to protect vulnerable road users from collisions with heavy vehicles travelling at low speeds. The purpose is to enable a cross-reference in the new UN Regulation on commercial vehicle direct vision to allow for alternative solutions and performance criteria for vehicles equipped with this “urban emergency braking system” capability.

Proposal to clarify the definition of the vehicle type with regard to the frontal dimensions of the vehicle.

Copy of the proposal submitted to the September 2022 GRVA session (GRVA/2022/24).

Proposal aims to prevent the installation of the filling unit under the body of M1 vehicles.

Proposals aims to align the requirements of IP protection grades to the latest IEC standard and to recognise ISO 20653 as a valid alternative, which is more appropriate and focused on automotive applications.

Proposal defines the working pressure for an LNG tank to be the primary relief valve setting (paragraph 4.4.), without stating a minimum value of the said relief valve. If a vehicle has an on-board tank with a primary relief valve that opens at a lower pressure than that at which the filling station is set to stop, the primary relief valve will open during refueling and this is an obvious safety risk.

Proposes the addition of design qualification tests also will harmonize with ISO 15500-13:2012, and the North American CSA/ANSI PRD 1 (2020).

Update paragraphs to be in line with the requirements of ISO15500 and NGV3.1 (industry standards for CNG).

The informal working group (GRE IWG EMC) is revising UN Regulation No. 10 and it has been agreed to include a vehicle level test for radiated immunity for emergency calling systems. There are two main scenarios under discussion in GRE IWG-EMC:
• Emergency call triggered before and after immunity test:
• Emergency call triggered before, during and after immunity test
