UN R127 — Pedestrian safety performance
Review the vehicle front structure in light of pedestrian-protection scope.
Explore the scopeWhat does it cover?
UN R127 concerns approval of motor vehicles for pedestrian safety performance. Its main scope is M1 and N1 vehicles, with exceptions linked to driver position, vehicle derivation and mass. A category label alone is therefore insufficient; vehicle geometry and the scope conditions must be read together.
Who is it for?
Vehicle front-end designers and teams testing pedestrian protection and passive safety.
Which subjects are addressed?
- Pedestrian safety performance
- M1/N1 scope
- Vehicle-geometry exceptions
- Technical characteristics and approval
Common question
Are all M1 and N1 vehicles covered in the same way?
No. The text includes exceptions linked to R-point position and the derivation or mass of certain vehicles. Determine the exact scope from the vehicle characteristics and relevant provisions.
