Highlight of the Recent Sessions(1) Highlight of the Recent Sessions • GRSG (94th General Safety, 21-25 April 2008) - Proposal for a reduction from 75 per cent o 70 per cent of the lower limit of the regular light transmittance of a windscreen, specified in Regulation No. 43, is considered to vote in the November 2008 session - With regard to the increased fire risk of heavy-duty vehicles, GRSG will continue to work on the detection of fires and on provisions for electric wires and fuses on buses, while GRRF will be focusing on Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) • Considered a proposal for clarification of the definitions of classes of vehicles due to request from GRSP to review the scope of Regulations of Nos. 14, 16 and 17, regarding the fitting of safety belts into buses and coaches. - decide to discontinue the work of the informal group on Event Data Recorder (EDR) until new data would be available - Agreed to initiate the amendment of the Regulation 43(Safety Glazing) in order to align it with the provisions of newly adopted GTR No.6

  6. 3. Highlight of the Recent Sessions(2) Highlight of the Recent Sessions • GRSP(43th Passive Safety, 19-23 May 2008) • Japan proposed active participation in the Informal Working Group on Head Restraints GTR phase 2 as it has been adopted GTR NO.7 in the last plenary meeting • Once Pedestrian Safety GTR is established, Phase II Development of flexible legform impactor technical evaluation group (FLEX-TEG) will be continued under the chairmanship of Japan • With regard to the development of HFCV GTR, Phase I development of GTR,storage systems for compressed gas and for liquid hydrogen, vehicle fuel system integrity and electric safety, will be conducted through activities from SGS and ELSA • Held a informal group meeting to amend Regulation No. 94 (Frontal impact) by changing the type of deformable barrier element and revising the testing procedures and decided to update it by 2010 based on technical justification including cost-benefit analysis.

  7. 3. Highlight of the Recent Sessions (3) Highlight of the Recent Sessions • GRE(59th Lighting and Light-Signalling, 31 March-4 April 2008) - Awaiting sponsors for developing new GTR regarding new headlamp beam combinations, new front fog-lamps, LED headlamps, installation of lighting and light signalling devices on motorcycles, adaptive front-lighting systems (AFS) etc - Automatic activation of headlamp at engine start in motorcycle is submitted to WP29 for consideration at the November to considered to vote in the November 2008 session • GRPE (56th Pollution and Energy 3-6 June 2008) - Informal group in charge of developing a GTR on Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedures (WLTP) will preparing a roadmap by 2009 as it is related to prevent global warming. • Reported progress of work of Off-cycle emission, heavy-duty emission certification and fuel quality (WHDC)
