157. The representative of the United States of America informed AC.3 that as there was no new information made available to the experts of GRSP, the discussion on Amendment 3 was on hold. Since the activity on Deployable Pedestrian Protection (DPPS) is going smoothly as it was scheduled, he added that interested stakeholders would seek to reengage the discussion on the headform test as the new Amendment 3.

158. The representative of Korea informed that the draft amendment introducing DPPS was ready for discussion at the December 2022 session of GRSP. The representative of OICA stated that the lack of harmonization between the UN GTR and the UN Regulation No. 127 on headform test was regrettable but apparently unavoidable for the time being, and hoped that ultimately a solution would be found on this aspect.

159. The Chair of AC.3 agreed to proceed with finalizing the DPPS activities and indicated that GRSP should consider renumbering the amendments according to their envisaged order of establishment.
