Notes to the table
The series of amendments indicated in the table reflects the version that has been published in the Official Journal and is without prejudice to the series of amendments that shall be complied with on the basis of the transitional provisions provided therein.
Compliance with a series of amendments adopted after the particular series indicated in the table shall be accepted as an alternative.
The dates specified in the relevant series of amendments of the UN Regulations listed in the table, as regards the obligations of Contracting Parties to the ‘Revised 1958 Agreement’ 1 , linked to first registration, entry into service, making available on the market, sale, the recognition of type-approvals, and any similar provisions, apply on a compulsory basis for the purposes of Articles 48 and 50 of Regulation (EU) 2018/… except where alternative dates are specified in Article 14 of this Regulation in which case those alternative dates are to be followed instead.
In certain instances, a UN Regulation listed in the table provides in its transitional provisions that as from a specified date, Contracting Parties to the ‘Revised 1958 Agreement’ applying a certain series of amendments to that UN Regulation shall not be obliged to accept or may refuse to accept, for the purpose of national or regional type-approval, a type approved in accordance with a preceding series of amendments, or wording with similar intention and meaning. This shall be construed as a binding provision for national authorities to consider the certificates of conformity to be no longer valid for the purposes of Article 48 of Regulation (EU) 2018/…, except where alternative dates are specified in Annex II of this Regulation in which case those alternative dates are to be followed instead.
1 Council Decision of 27 November 1997 with a view to accession by the European Community to the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted to and/or be used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions ('Revised 1958 Agreement') (OJ L 346, 17.12.1997, p. 78).
( a ) UN Regulation Nos 1, 8 and 20 are not applicable for EU type-approval of vehicles.
( b ) The mandatory fitting of a stability control function is required in accordance with the UN Regulations. However, it is also mandatory for vehicles of category N 1 .
( c ) Where it is declared by the vehicle manufacturer that a vehicle is suitable for towing loads (point 2.11.5. of the information document referred to in Article 24(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/…) and any part of a suitable mechanical coupling device, whether fitted or not to the type of motor-vehicle, could (partly) obscure any lighting component and/or the space for mounting and fixing the rear registration plate, the following shall apply:
-
-the motor-vehicle's user instructions (e.g. owner's manual, vehicle handbook) shall clearly specify that installation of a mechanical coupling device that cannot be easily removed or repositioned is not permitted;
-
-the instructions shall also clearly specify that, when fitted, a mechanical coupling device must always be removed or repositioned when it is not in use; and
-
-in the case of vehicle system type-approval according to UN Regulation 55, it shall be ensured that the removal, repositioning and/or alternate location provisions are also fully complied with as regards lighting installation and space for mounting and fixing the rear registration plate .
( d ) Only Speed Limitation Devices (SLD) and the mandatory installation of SLD on vehicles of category M 2 , M 3 , N 2 and N 3 are concerned.
( e ) Devices to prevent unauthorised use shall be fitted on vehicles of categories M 1 and N 1 and immobilizer systems shall be fitted on vehicles of category M 1 .

1.Provisions for the approval of frontal protection systems
1.1. A frontal protection system intended as original equipment shall be approved in accordance with UN Regulation 127 and be considered as an integral part of the relevant vehicle.
1.2. A frontal protection system intended as separate technical unit shall fulfil the following requirements:
1.2.1. Frontal protection systems shall be accompanied by information that describes the exact vehicle type, variant and version for which it is type-approved and shall be accompanied by detailed installation instructions providing sufficient information for a competent person to be able to install it properly on the vehicle. The instructions shall be provided in all the official languages of the Union.
1.2.2. All tests shall be carried out either with the frontal protection system mounted on a vehicle of the type, variant and version for which it is intended or on a test frame closely representing the essential outer front-end dimensions of the intended vehicle. When using a test frame, it is not permitted that, apart from the initial mounting points, the frontal protection system makes contact with the frame during testing. Contact of the legform or headform testing device with the frame during testing is also not permitted. In case of such contact, the test in question shall instead be carried out with the frontal protection system mounted on the relevant vehicle type, variant and version.
1.2.3. For frontal protection systems to be mounted on vehicles resulting in a lower frontal protection system height at the test position which ≥ 425 mm and < 500 mm either the tests according to point 1.2.4. or 1.2.5. shall apply, at the choice of the manufacturer. Where the height < 425 mm, the tests in accordance with 1.2.4. shall apply. Where the height ≥ 500 mm, the tests in accordance with 1.2.5. shall apply.
1.2.4. The flexible lower legform tests on the frontal protection system shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions laid down in UN Regulation 127 for the ‘bumper test area’ compliance tests where this is understood to be for the purpose of the frontal protection system legform test area, including applying the relevant injury criteria requirements. However, the corners of the frontal protection system shall be taken into account and no relaxation zone shall apply. The test points shall be clearly identified in the test report.
1.2.5. The upper legform tests on the frontal protection system shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions laid down in UN Regulation 127 for the ‘bumper test area’ compliance tests where this is understood to be for the purpose of the frontal protection system legform test area, including applying the relevant injury criteria requirements. However, the corners of the frontal protection system shall be taken into account. The test points shall be clearly identified in the test report.
1.2.6. A minimum of three child headform impact tests in accordance with point 1.2.7. shall be carried out at all positions on the frontal protection system that are considered by the technical service to be the worst case. The tests shall be carried out to different types of structure, where these vary throughout the area to be assessed. The test points shall be clearly identified in the test report and shall be chosen directly onto the frontal protection system where the relevant part or parts are located beyond a wrap-around distance (WAD) of 900 mm considered with the intended vehicle type, variant and version in its normal ride attitude.
1.2.7. The tests shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions laid down in UN Regulation 127 for ‘child headform test area’ compliance tests where this is understood to be for the purpose of the frontal protection system child headform test area. However, the head injury criteria (HIC) recorded shall not exceed 1 000 in all cases. The test points shall be clearly identified in the test report.
-
2.Markings
2.1. Each frontal protection system shall be clearly and indelibly marked with the trade name, make or trade mark and type designation as well as the EU type-approval mark for which the space shall be sufficient.

The container or liner shall not fail before the test is completed.
1.1.7.2 Test procedure for components used in hydrogen systems
If a component is exposed to pressure due to refilling operations, then filling cycles shall be used. If a component is exposed to pressure due to the operation of the vehicle (e.g. switching of vehicle activation device) then duty cycles shall be used.
At the appropriate ambient temperature, use hydrogen to pressure cycle for 3,0 times the number of manufacturer declared filling cycles or 2,0 times the number of manufacturer declared duty cycles, components between the pressure levels that shall provide an equivalent component stress as would be present at ≤ 2,0 Mpa and ≥ 1,25 times either the maximum allowable working pressure or the nominal working pressure for the container, as appropriate.
The component shall not fail before the test is completed.
1.1.8. For the purpose of point 1.1.7. to 1.1.7.2., the number of manufacturer declared filling cycles shall be as laid down in UN Regulation 134, i.e. at least 11 000 and the number of manufacturer declared duty cycles shall be at least 37 500.
1.1.9. The technical service shall verify all items above and the test results shall be documented in detail in the test report.
The manufacturer shall also keep the test results on file throughout the anticipated service life of all components, containers and systems as made available on the market.
1.2. The fuelling receptacle of compressed hydrogen gas vehicles shall conform to international standard ISO 17268:2012 (or later revisions) and be compatible with specification H35, H35HF, H70 or H70HF depending on its nominal working pressure and specific application.
1.3. The specific components installed on compressed hydrogen gas vehicles shall be type-approved in accordance with the provisions set out in UN Regulation 134. In addition to the type-approval mark and information required by UN Regulation 134 for specific components, they shall also be marked with the nominal working pressure (NWP) and, if located downstream of the first pressure regulator, the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP).
1.4. Vehicles with liquefied hydrogen systems shall be approved in accordance with Article 39 of Regulation (EU) 2018/… concerning exemptions for new technologies or new concepts, based on UN Global technical regulation on hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles No 13, part II, section 7.
1.4.1. The materials used in hydrogen components, containers and systems shall be compatible with hydrogen when they are in contact with it in liquid and/or gaseous state. This shall be demonstrated in accordance with international standard ISO 11114-1 and ISO 11114-4 insofar relevant and possible, with the tests carried out in hydrogen environments as anticipated in service. The technical service shall verify all these items and the test results shall be documented in detail in the test report.
