Working Party on Passive Safety | Session 57 | 18-22 May 2015
Geneva
Agenda Item 10.
Regulation No. 44 (Child restraints systems)

23. The expert from Spain introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/5, to improve dynamic test provisions for CRS and to cope with the presence of load limiters on safety belts used to fix CRS. GRSP adopted the proposal not amended and requested the secretariat to submit the proposal for consideration and vote at the November 2015 sessions of WP.29 and AC.3 as draft Supplement 10 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 44.

24. The expert from CLEPA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/6 through a presentation (GRSP-57-26), aimed at updating the references to the European standard on toxicity and flammability of materials used to manufacture CRS. The expert from Germany informed GRSP about the latest amendments introduced in UN Regulation No. 118 by GRSG, on matters of vertical burning rate much more severe than standard EN 71 mentioned in the proposal. The expert from OICA requested exemption for built-in CRS subject to national/regional legislation (i.e.: EU Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)). GRSP agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its December 2015 session on the basis of a revised proposal tabled by the expert from CLEPA in cooperation with the expert from OICA.
