UN ECE R42 — Front and Rear Protective Devices · 00 / S2

You can apply for an M1 passenger car to 00 series · Supplement 2. The text sets no transition date closing applications under preceding levels.

• R42 covers the behaviour of front and rear protective structures in low-speed collisions.
• Provide the vehicle structure, protective devices, dimensions and unladen weight in the application.

Prepare a representative vehicle for testing and confirm that R42 approval can be used in your destination country.

The latest level is 00 series · Supplement 2, effective from 3 January 2021. The text gives it no expiry date.

• Braking, steering and other basic vehicle systems must work normally after low-speed impacts.
• A driver assistance sensor or camera may be damaged, provided basic braking and steering performance remain intact.

Apply the distinction in paragraph 6.1.5 when checking front and rear impacts.

Supplement 2 sets no common deadline to renew all existing approvals. Notify the granting authority of changes to the vehicle type.

• The authority may accept that the change has no adverse effect or require another test report.
• Basic braking and steering performance must still remain intact after impact.

Report structural or protective-device changes with the approval number; agree any extension and testing needed.
