UN R125 Supplement 2 (02 series) · UNECE Regulation No. 125 (ECE R125) — Uniform provisions concerning the approval of motor vehicles with regard to the forward field of vision of the motor vehicle driver.
UN R125 — Supplement 2 to the 02 series of amendments
Supplement 1 → 2
- What changed
- Paragraph 1.1. now says that this UN Regulation applies to the 180° forward field of vision of drivers of category M1 and N1 vehicles. Before this supplement, paragraph 1.1. named category M1 vehicles.
- Paragraph 1.3. now also names category N1 vehicles, both where the driver is on the left and where the driver is on the right.
- Why
- GRSG adopted the proposal on aligning the scope of the 02 series of amendments to the 01 series of amendments.
- At its 122nd session, GRSG adopted the scope extension to vehicle category N1 for both the 01 and 02 series of amendments. But this scope extension was not handed over to the 02 series of amendments. The proposal corrects this error.
Q1What changed3 changes
Category N1 vehicles added (paras. 1.1. and 1.3.)
Paragraph 1.1. now says that this UN Regulation applies to the 180° forward field of vision of drivers of category M1 and N1 vehicles. Before this supplement, paragraph 1.1. named category M1 vehicles. Paragraph 1.3. says the requirements are now so worded as to apply to category M1 and N1 vehicles with the driver on the left. In category M1 and N1 vehicles in which the driver is on the right, these requirements must be applied by inverting the criteria, when appropriate. Both paragraphs now say “UN Regulation” instead of “Regulation”.
Footnote reference to the Consolidated Resolution (R.E.3.)
The footnote that refers to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3.) now cites document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.6 instead of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.2. It also gives a new web address.

Proposer's reason (informal document GRSG-123-05)
GRSG at its 122nd session adopted the scope extension for both the 01 and 02 series of amendments. But this scope extension was not handed over to the 02 series of amendments, namely Supplement 1 to the 02 series of amendments. The proposal corrects this error and makes the 02 series of amendments applicable to the vehicles of category N1, as per the decision of GRSG.
