Title: COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) …/... amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 of the European Parliament and of the Council to take into account technical progress and regulatory developments concerning amendments to Vehicle Regulations adopted in the context of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
            
            
               1.CONTEXT OF THE DELEGATED ACT
            
            
               This Regulation aims to take into account the latest technical and regulatory developments at the World Forum for the Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). In this regard, the list of the UN Regulations referred to in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 of the European Parliament and of the Council and contained in Annex I to that Regulation should be updated by including references to new UN Regulations and respectively to new series of amendments of existing UN Regulations.
            
            
               In addition, Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2019/2144, containing the list of requirements referred to in Article 4(5) and Article 5(3) of that Regulation, should be complemented with references to the regulatory acts, adopted pursuant to that Regulation following its adoption and entry into force. In particular, reference is needed to the regulatory acts as regards the advanced emergency braking for pedestrian and cyclist, the pedestrian and cyclist collision warning, the blind spot information system, the emergency lane-keeping assistance, the reversing detection, the emergency stop signal, the event data recorder.
            
            
               Annexes I and II to Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 are therefore amended in accordance with the Annexes to this Regulation. 
            
            
               2.CONSULTATIONS PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE ACT
            
            
               In the preparation of this act, the Commission carried out appropriate consultations with the Member States experts on 18 November 2021 and the draft was broadly supported.
            
            
               3.LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE DELEGATED ACT
            
            
               The legal basis of this delegated act is Article 4(3) and (6) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2144.

               Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
            
            
               Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on type-approval requirements for motor vehicles and their trailers, and systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles, as regards their general safety and the protection of vehicle occupants and vulnerable road users, amending Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Regulations (EC) No 78/2009, (EC) No 79/2009 and (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulations (EC) No 631/2009, (EU) No 406/2010, (EU) No 672/2010, (EU) No 1003/2010, (EU) No 1005/2010, (EU) No 1008/2010, (EU) No 1009/2010, (EU) No 19/2011, (EU) No 109/2011, (EU) No 458/2011, (EU) No 65/2012, (EU) No 130/2012, (EU) 347/2012, (EU) No 351/2012, (EU) No 1230/2012 and (EU) 2015/166
                  1
               , and in particular Article 4(3) and (6) thereof,
            
            
               Whereas:

               . All those regulations have been amended by the World Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (‘UNECE WP.29’). It is therefore appropriate that the list in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 is updated to reflect those amendments.
            
            
               (2)The UNECE WP.29 also adopted several new regulations, which the Union acceded to and apply on a compulsory basis. In particular, those are UN Regulation No 145
                  19
               , UN Regulation No 148
                  20

               , UN Regulation No 153

                  27
               , UN Regulation No 158
                  28

                  29
               , UN Regulation No 161
                  30
               , UN Regulation No 162
                  31
                and UN Regulation No 163
                  32
               . It is therefore appropriate to include in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 references to those regulations.
            
         
         
            
               (3)UN Regulation No 0 on the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval
                  33
                was adopted in order to reduce barriers to trade between the UNECE Contracting Parties and to provide an increased level of certainty for vehicle manufacturers seeking recognition of their type-approval in those Contracting Parties. The Union is a Contracting Party applying UN Regulation No 0. In order to consider a Universal International Whole Vehicle Type Approval equivalent to an EU type-approval, the versions of the UN Regulations listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 should be taken into account.
            
            
               (4)Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 contains the list of requirements with which vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units should comply with pursuant to Articles 4(5) and 5(3) of that Regulation. That Annex does, however, not contain references to the regulatory acts laying down the detailed technical requirements as regards advanced emergency braking systems with pedestrians and cyclists detection, pedestrian and cyclist collision warning systems, blind spot information systems, emergency lane-keeping assistance systems, reversing detection, emergency stop signal and event data recorders. It is therefore necessary to add references to the respective regulatory acts in that Annex.
            
            
               (5)Compliance with UN Regulation No 90
                  34
                is compulsory for replacement brake lining assemblies, drum-brake linings, discs and drums for power-driven vehicles and their trailers. New replacement brake lining assemblies, drum-brake linings, discs and drums for existing types of vehicles with vehicle type-approval granted with regard to breaking in accordance with UN Regulation No 13
                  35
                or UN Regulation No 13-H
                  36
                before the date of application of Regulation (EU) 2019/2144, should be permitted to be made available on the market or entered into service in accordance with Annex I to that Regulation.
            
            
               (6)As of 1 September 2023, UN Regulation No 129
                  37
                will replace UN Regulation No 44, thus, ceasing the possibility child restraint systems that are not built in motor vehicles to be type-approved under that Regulation. Additional time is necessary to allow for the production in stock and in the distribution channels to be sold out. Therefore, child restraint systems approved in accordance with UN Regulation No 44 before 1 September 2023, should be allowed to be made available on the market and entered into service until 1 September 2024.
            
            
               (7)The provisions of UN Regulation No 13-H related to brake assists systems and electronic stability control systems were transferred to UN Regulation No 139
                  38
                and UN Regulation No 140
                  39
               , whereas the provisions concerning braking were shifted to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No 13-H. Given that the requirements for brake assists systems and electronic stability control systems remained unchanged, type-approvals granted in accordance with the original version of UN Regulation 13-H, and their extensions, should be considered equivalent to a type-approval granted to the original versions of UN Regulation No 139 and UN Regulation No 140.
            
            
               (8)The requirements with regard to child restraint anchorages were transferred without changes from the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No 14 to UN Regulation No 145. Therefore, type-approvals granted in accordance with UN Regulation No 14 should be considered equivalent to a type-approval granted to the original version of UN Regulation No 145. 
            
            
               (9)The requirements with regard to safety of electric power train at rear-end collision were transferred without changes from the 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No 34 to UN Regulation No 153. Therefore, type-approvals granted in accordance with UN Regulation No 34 should be considered equivalent to a type-approval granted to the original version of UN Regulation No 153.
            
            
               (10)The requirements with regard to tyre pressure monitoring were transferred without changes from the 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No 64
                  40
                to UN Regulation No 141. Therefore, type-approvals granted in accordance with UN Regulation No 64 should be considered equivalent to a type-approval granted to the original version of UN Regulation No 141. 
            
            
               (11)Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 should therefore be amended accordingly,
