Agenda Item 18.4.
Harmonization of side impact dummies

105. The representative of the United States of America reported on the activities of the IWG. He indicated that work was adequately progressing on including the 50th percentile world side impact dummy (WorldSID) into the draft Addendum 2 to M.R.1. He added that some parts of the 5 percentile female dummy needed to be redesigned and that the resulting delay would likely be to the end of 2015 after which the 5th percentile female dummy could be included into M.R.1. The representative of the United Kingdom underlined that the lack of free access to drawings and specifications of the WorldSID by ISO would affect the good work results for UN GTR No. 7 (Phase 2), UN GTR No. 9 (Phase 2) as well as future ones. He considered that a reference in the UN GTRs to the ISO standards should not be accepted. He invited the representative of the United States of America to inform AC.3 on the manner in which his administration was managing such access restrictions to the corresponding standards on side impact dummies. AC.3 agreed to resume consideration on this issue at its next session.
