References to Addendum 6 of M.R.1 (paras. 2.13. to 2.15.)

Paragraphs 2.13. to 2.15. define “Three-dimensional reference system”, “H-point Manikin” and “R-Point”. These definitions now refer to Addendum 6 of Mutual Resolution No. 1 (M.R.1). Before this supplement, paragraph 2.13. referred to appendix 2 to Annex 1 of R.E.3, and paragraphs 2.14. and 2.15. referred to Annex 1 of R.E.3. A new footnote says that Addendum 6 of M.R.1 is document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1101/Amend.5. The X, Y and Z axis designations in paragraph 2.13. do not change.

"Three-dimensional reference system" means a coordinate system as defined by appendix 2 to Annex Addendum 6 of Mutual Resolution No. 1 of the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3M.R.1). In this framework the longitudinal axis of the vehicle is designated the X axis, the lateral axis is the Y axis and the vertical axis is the Z axis.
"H-point Manikin" means a three-dimensional H-Point Machine as defined in Annex Addendum 6 of Mutual Resolution No. 1 of the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3M.R.1).

R.E.3 reference and web address (para. 4.5.1.(a), footnote)

The footnote to paragraph 4.5.1.(a) says where the distinguishing numbers of the Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement are reproduced. It now names R.E.3 document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.7, not Rev.6. The footnote also gives a new web address: https://unece.org/transport/vehicle-regulations/wp29/resolutions.

The distinguishing numbers of the Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement are reproduced in Annex 3 to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3), document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.6 ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.7 - https://unece.org/transport/standards/transport/vehicle-regulations-wp29/resolutions.unece.org/transport/vehicle-regulations/wp29/resolutions

Q2Why it changed

Proposed by
Expert from the Netherlands
Working party
GRSG, 127th session (April 2024)

Reasons

  • The specifications of the 3-D “H” point machine were updated and moved from R.E.3 to M.R.1. The proposal was prepared to update the references to the 3-D “H” point measurement and calibration procedure.

    Sources (2)
    “The specifications of the 3-D "H"-point machine have been updated and transferred from R.E.3. to M.R.1.”
    “to update the references to the three-dimensional H-point (3-D "H"-point) measurement and calibration procedure, which is updated and moved from the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3) to Mutual Resolution No. 1 (M.R.1).”

  • A calibration procedure was also added. Its aim is that the 3-D “H” point machine used for all testing in UN Regulations and UN Global Technical Regulations is consistent. It also aims at consistent test results across Regulations.
