UN R135 concerns approval of vehicles for pole side impact (PSI) performance. Its scope includes a mass limit for M1 vehicles and geometric conditions linked to the driver’s seating position for N1 vehicles. It also allows assessment of certain other M and N vehicles at the manufacturer’s request; category alone does not settle applicability.
Who is it for?
Passive-safety, vehicle-body design and side-impact testing teams.
Which subjects are addressed?
- Pole side impact
- M1 mass scope
- N1 geometric conditions
- Other vehicles at manufacturer request
Common question
Is mass the only consideration for N1 vehicles?
No. The scope also defines geometric conditions related to the driver’s R-point and the axles. Assess vehicle layout against the relevant provision.
