EU: Updates to the list of technical regulations for vehicles
The EU Commission has launched a public consultation on updating the list of binding technical regulations for vehicles for the EU type approval.
The references to the regulatory acts are listed in the Annexes to the General Vehicle Safety Regulation. Now, they need to be amended to reflect the latest regulatory developments.
In particular, the Annexes will be updated with reference to the new UN/EU regulations setting out technical requirements for the approval of motor vehicles for:
– direct vision
– event data recorders (for heavy-duty vehicles)
– enlarged head impact zones
– advanced driver distraction warnings.
