Editorial improvements to the text and introduction of provisions allowing for the separation of connectors (including the vehicle inlet) without the use of tools under prescribed conditions specified under paragraph 5.1.1. This paragraph describes the general requirements for the protection of all high voltage parts, including the obligation that such protection against live parts cannot be opened without the use of tools. If connectors can be opened without use of tools or if they do not satisfy the IPXXD/IPXXB protection limits, the provisions of 5.1.1.3 have to be met.
31. The expert from Germany introduced GRSP-56-17 and GRSP-56-18 aimed at clarifying the provisions for connectors of electric vehicles. GRSP adopted both proposals, as reproduced in Annex IV to the session report. The secretariat was requested to submit GRSP-56-17 and GRSP-56-18 to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their June 2015 sessions, respectively as: (i) draft Supplement 4 to the 01 series of amendments and as (ii) draft Supplement 2 to the 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 100.
