Proposal to clarify the definitions of LPG container accessories to facilitate coordination between the separate, independent approvals required for the LPG container and for its accessories. The proposal aims to ensure proper coordination between container approvals (which involve testing with accessories attached) and accessory approvals (which may be subsequent to the original container approval and therefore, relevant to its validity).

Presentation supporting GRSG/2017/10 to clarify the definitions of LPG container accessories to facilitate coordination between the separate, independent approvals required for the LPG container and for its accessories.

Comments on the VGL informal group draft justification of its headlamp glare requirements.

Examples of loading situations and their influence on headlamp inclination cut-off.

Proposal to modify the type-approval certificate as specified in Annex 2B by introducing additional points:

1. Type (point 2-type of equipment)
2. its version (point 3)
3. variant (point 4) and pressure classification
4. (point 5 – include the component’s working pressure for class 0)

and by renumbering points 2-14 as points 6-18. The proposal would also change the footnote 2 by replacing “Strike out what does not apply” with “Erase where does not apply” or “Delete where not applicable."

Proposal to require labeling of products with the designation of the version, variant and the number of type-approval certificate extension based on which the product was approved for sale in order to ensure linking of the technical documentation with the product designation and to improve the ability to verify the design of the components.

Proposal to delete “trade name” from the approval definition in order to avoid strict interpretations where a manufacturer would be obliged to define a new container type designation whenever the tank’s trade name is updated (whereas the trade name is inconsequential in terms of product approval).

Additional questions from Poland to OICA for clarification the expectations concerning 1.6% cut-off inclination limits range as a result of non-repeatability of vehicles according Reg. 48 load/pitch test (Annex 5 and 6).
