UN R95 — Supplement 2 to the 06 series of amendments

New section 0. says that the Regulation is amended to account for vehicles of category X. It also says that vehicles of category Y are not in the scope of the Regulation. Without a driver or manual driving controls, related provisions must not be taken into account, unless this amendment already covers them. For vehicles with an ADS other than category X, no special provisions or exemptions apply in the manual driving mode. In a mode where an ADS feature is active, the relevant ADS requirements apply.

The title of the Regulation now says “the protection of the occupants, fuel system integrity and protection against electrical shock in the event of a lateral collision” instead of “the protection of the occupants in the event of a lateral collision”. In section 1., the existing paragraph now has the number 1.1. New paragraph 1.2. says that the Regulation does not apply to vehicles of category Y.

The definition of “Unladen mass” now says “without occupants or load” instead of “without driver, passengers or load”. The rest of the definition does not change.

For vehicles of category X, the manufacturer must propose the tested side. For all vehicle categories, the procedure in paragraphs 5.1.1.1. and 5.1.1.2. must apply. Under paragraph 5.1.1.1., the manufacturer must give the authority information on the performance of the proposed side in comparison with the opposite side. Before, the information was on the compatibility of performances in comparison with the driver’s side, when the test was carried out on that side. Under paragraph 5.1.1.2., the Type Approval Authority must decide to have the test performed on the side considered to be the least favourable. Before, the Authority, if concerned as to the vehicle construction, would decide on a test on the side opposite the driver, considered the least favourable.

Paragraphs 5.3.1.1. and 5.3.2.2. and Annex 4, paragraph 5.2.2. now say “de-activated by the driver or the ADS” instead of “de-activated by the driver”. These paragraphs are for automatically activated door locking systems which are installed optionally and/or which can be de-activated by the driver or the ADS. For these systems, one of two test procedures must be used, at the choice of the manufacturer, as before.

Annex 4, paragraph 5.7. now says: if the steering wheel is adjustable, all adjustments are positioned to their mid-travel locations (if applicable). Annex 7, paragraph 2.10. has a new last paragraph: for vehicles of category X, refer to paragraph 2.11. for installation of the dummies.

Footnote 1 now refers to the definitions in R.E.3, document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.8, instead of Rev.7. For the AC.1 vote, WP.29 amended footnote 1 to read as in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1192, Annex VI. Footnote 1 no longer refers to paragraph 2 of R.E.3 and gives a new web address. Footnote 2 of paragraph 4.5.1. now refers to R.E.3 document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.8 instead of Rev.7 for the distinguishing numbers of the Contracting Parties.
