Australian comments on the List A UN Regulations applicable to IWVTA
Reference Number: SGR0-11-04
Presentation of Australian concerns over incompatibilities between its local requirements for top-tether anchorages in child restraint systems and the provisions of UN R14. Since it wishes to participate fully in the IWVTA system, Australia proposes that UN R14 be transferred from the IWVTA List A (single global requirement) to List B (multiple requirements to account for regional differences). Australia also can thus accept UN R16 (occupant restraint systems) on List A. Australia needs more time to reach a position on UN R10 (electromagnetic compatibility).
IWVTA ambassadors review of the status of work on preparing various regulations for eventual inclusion in the international whole vehicle type approval system.
