Introduction to UN Regulation No. 118 Revision 2
Fire safety in vehicles is paramount, especially in public transport and long-distance coaches.
The regulation aims to minimize fire risks, limit flame propagation, and ensure safer conditions for passengers and operators.
UN Regulation No. 118, Revision 2 (R118r2e), addresses this critical aspect:
- by setting harmonized technical requirements for the fire-resistant properties of materials used in motor vehicles.
- by defining testing methods and approval criteria for interior components, electrical wiring, and insulation in engine and heating compartments.
Compliance is mandatory for manufacturers to achieve type approval, enhancing safety across international markets.
