Common use of Procedural Background Clause in Contracts

Procedural Background. 8. The authorization to develop amendments to UN GTR No.6 (Safety glazing) was adopted by the Executive Committee (AC.3) of the 1998 Agreement at its March 2015 session (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1114, para. 115). It is based on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2015/42. It endorsed the proposed action plan to establish an Informal Working Group (IWG) on PSG. 9. The aim was to develop an amendment to relevant parts of UN GTR No.6 and UN Regulation No.43, if necessary, so that appropriate methods could be clarified for testing and evaluating Panoramic Sunroof Glazing. 10. The IWG should, at a first stage, collect information to clearly understand the reasons for glass breakage. 11. Parallel to this, additional review and activities should be done to verify the impact of CPA in part areas of vehicle glass in order to establish testing programs and develop recommendations. 12. The IWG on PSG under the Working Party on General Safety (GRSG) reported that PSG breakage can happen based on several factors, none of which could be identified as the single possible source. These include one-time manufacturing or human errors, vehicle and/or roof system design flaws, miss-assemblies or a massive sudden local load-case due to an undefined impact with a sharp, hard and large indenter of high impulse, among various others. 13. The IWG determined that PSG breakage itself does not usually cause serious injuries to the occupants of the vehicle, but this event might trigger other potential incidents to occur as a result of the breakage. 14. The proposed Mutual Resolution (M.R.4) provides guidance to limit the CPA of a possibly affected single toughened safety PSG pane and the measurement procedure proposals for CPA.
