Harmonization of side impact

122. The representative of the United States of America informed AC.3 that work on this matter would continue in July and that the group would provide an update at the November 2015 session of WP.29.

123. The representative of the United States of America informed AC.3 that the IWG on harmonization of side impact dummies was in discussion with ISO on how to proceed with the drafting of Addendum 2 of M.R.1. He added that ISO had so far agreed to allow some parts of ISO 15830:2013 to be reproduced in the Addendum and other parts to be incorporated by reference; the IWG continues to work towards ensuring that the most recent build level of the dummy (build level F) is referenced in M.R.1. He stated that excluding a few minor issues, the WorldSID 50th percentile male dummy is essentially ready for incorporation into the GTR and that efforts on the 5th percentile female dummy are expected to be completed in late 2017. Finally, he announced that the respective WorldSID task groups plan to meet in Munich, Germany on 20 and 21 July 2015.

124. The representative from Australia clarified that the activities related to UN GTR No. 14 were linked to those of the IWG on harmonization of side impact dummies and that results on this subject were awaited to establish the way forward.
