Informal Group on Child Restraint Systems | Session 39 | 18 Jun 2013
Brussels
Agenda Item 6.
Interim period

6.1. Letter ANEC

Need to anticipate phase 3 for belted products.

CYBEX: comes back on the travel system according to the R44 product & iSize.

R44 baby infant carrier can be placed on iSize base until phase 3 will be finish. In order to have all in only one regulation.

Chairman: We need to found a way to clarify type approval of the baby infant carrier with belted installation during a short period (P dummy & Q dummy?).

Ronald: we have to be careful due to the responsibility of the misuse possibility.

Cybex : what about a base with belt routing or Isofix routing : iSize approval not possible.

Only the base will be marked iSize and the Type approval N° and there is only the type approval

N° on the baby infant carrier.

Add definition of the baby infant carrier into the regulation iSize.

What we need to do for phase 3 :
  • Define anchorage points (already start with TRL)
  • Belt length
  • Do we need to change performance criteria?
  • Installation method for the belted product.

6.2. Presentation from HTS: Not performed

6.3. CLEPA Presentation (Doc. CRS-39-04e)

Proposition to position the iSize labelling on iSize base and the R44 labelling on baby infant carrier: once baby infant carrier is placed on iSize base, we can only see the iSize Label on the base (the R44 label under the baby infant carrier should not be visible). R44 vs iSize: do nothing or add a consumer information label in a visible location.

Chairman: do not speak about iSize (label, sizing,…) on the R44 baby infant carrier.

DOREL, we just add a extra information on the shell (mass group).
