Before concluding the meeting Dr. Otubushin wondered how the following can be made clear especially to parties which were not directly involved in the discussion of this informal group: Certainly, the Informal Group will propose the FlexPLI for a second phase of the gtr No. 9. With this, industry of course wishes to change to one impactor for all markets when designing new models. On the other hand, it may be needed to maintain the EEVC legform impactor for models that already had been launched also for markets that just start with pedestrian safety testing.
The chair noted that the issue is well understood. He proposed that Dr. Otubushin may draft a wording for the next meeting that can be used to explain the issue in the preamble. Dr. Otubushin agreed to do so (action item A-7-10).
