The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN ECE) has recently published the following amendments to their Regulations on crash testing:
- An 04 Series of Amendments to ECE 94 on the protection of occupants in the event of a front collision (offset deformable barrier impact).
- An 05 Series of Amendments to ECE 95 on the protection of occupants in the event of a lateral collision.
- An 02 Series of Amendments to ECE 137 on frontal collision with focus on the restraint system (rigid barrier impact).
Each of these Series of Amendments introduce revised requirements on post-crash electrical safety which are aligned with the requirements specified in United Nations Global Technical Regulation (UN GTR) No. 20 on electric vehicle safety. These post-crash electrical safety requirements are applicable to all vehicles with an electric power train operating at high voltage.
These latest Series of Amendments to UN ECE Regulation No's 94, 95 and 137 are available on InterRegs.NET for our ECE subscribers, and are also available at www.selectregs.com.
