UN R35 Supplement 1 (01 series) · UNECE Regulation No. 35 (ECE R35) — Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regard to the arrangement of foot controls.
UN R35 — Supplement 1 to the 01 series of amendments
Base text → Supplement 1
- What changed
- Footnote 1 of Annex 3 now refers to Addendum 6 of Mutual Resolution No. 1 (M.R.1) for the “H” point procedure.
- The footnotes to paragraphs 1. and 4.4.1. give a new web address for R.E.3.
- Why
- The specifications of the 3-D “H” point machine were updated and moved from R.E.3 to M.R.1.
- The proposal corrects the location of R.E.3 on the ECE/WP.29 website.
Q1What changed3 changes
Reference for the “H” point procedure (Annex 3, footnote 1)
Footnote 1 of Annex 3 now says that Addendum 6 of M.R.1 describes the procedure to determine the “H” point and the actual torso angle. The footnote names document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1101/Amend.5. Before this supplement, the footnote referred to Annex 1 and its Appendices 1, 2 and 3 to R.E.3, document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.7.
New web address for R.E.3 (footnotes to paras. 1. and 4.4.1.)
Footnote 1 to paragraph 1. and footnote 2 to paragraph 4.4.1. now give the web address https://unece.org/transport/vehicle-regulations/wp29/resolutions. Before this supplement, the address was https://unece.org/transport/standards/transport/vehicle-regulations-wp29/resolutions. Footnote 1 now writes “paragraph 2” in full, not “para. 2”. The references to R.E.3, document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.7, do not change.
Q2Why it changed
- Proposed by
- Expert from the Netherlands
- Working party
- GRSG, 129th session
Reasons
The specifications of the 3-D “H” point machine were updated and moved from R.E.3 to M.R.1. The proposal therefore updates the references to the 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. The aim is that the machine used for all tests in UN Regulations and UN GTRs is consistent and gives consistent results.

“A calibration procedure has also been added to ensure that the 3-D "H" point machine used for all testing in UN Regulations and UN Global Technical Regulations is consistent and provides consistent test results across Regulations.”
The proposal also corrects the location of R.E.3 on the ECE/WP.29 website.
