19. GRSP resumed consideration on a proposal tabled by the expert from CLEPA (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/19), introducing provisions to define the moment of inertia of the luggage impact test. GRSP adopted the proposal and requested the secretariat to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their June 2015 sessions as draft Supplement 3 to the 08 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 17.

20. The expert from Germany introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/20 proposing the prohibition of side-facing seats for any N category of vehicle. The expert from OICA argued that the proposed amendment would also ban some special purpose vehicles which so far did not create safety issue and offered his cooperation to revise the proposal. GRSP noted that the issue was focused on the corresponding EU Directive rather than UN Regulation No. 17 provisions. Accordingly, the expert from Germany withdrew the proposal and GRSP agreed to remove this subject from the agenda of the May 2015 session.

21. GRSP considered and adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/21, correcting an error in the UN Regulation No. 17. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their June 2015 sessions as part of draft Supplement 3 to the 08 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 17 (see para. 19 above).

22. Referring to the discussion under agenda item 7 (see para. 16), the expert from the Netherlands introduced GRSP-56-07, proposing a possible amendment to cover the issue of occupant displacement due to the presence of safety-belt load limiters installed on seats other than front seats. He announced the intention to submit a new proposal on this subject for the May 2015 session of GRSP.
