The secretary noted that comments had been received from OEM’s and BASt. The draft minutes were modified accordingly. However, for the wording in agenda item 6.3 of the 6th meeting – the details of the update to be given to the May 2014 GRSP – the secretary felt that the respective wording should not be changed: It had been shown and was agreed during the last meeting. Mr. Zander explained that he wanted to make clearer that the group discussed about A) that the bumper test area definition using a corner gauge strongly depends on the outer vehicle contour and B) that the bumper test area definition using the dimensions of the bumper beam depends on underlying hard vehicle structures. Besides this, Mr. Zander emphasized that the use of the bumper beam was not an additional request to the bumper corner definition by using the corner gauges but a compromise offered instead of BASt’s request of assessing the entire vehicle width.

It was agreed this part of document TF-BTA-6-02 will not be changed but that the additional comments are considered here in this document. All other changes were adopted and the finalized minutes will be provided as document TF-BTA-6-02r1.
