UN R58 — Rear underrun protection
Review the protective device, its installation and the vehicle structure in their separate parts.
Explore the scopeWhat does it cover?
UN R58 addresses rear underrun protective devices (RUPD), installation of approved devices and vehicles that provide this protection through their own structure. Its three parts distinguish device approval, installation and vehicle assessment. It thus also covers designs that protect through the vehicle structure without a separately approved device.
Who is it for?
Goods-vehicle, trailer and bodywork manufacturers and strength-testing teams.
Which subjects are addressed?
- RUPD device approval
- Installation of an approved device
- Protection by vehicle structure
- Three-part approval scope
Common question
Must every solution use a separately approved device?
No. Part III also addresses vehicle assessment where a device has not been separately approved or vehicle parts perform the protection function.
