29. The representative of the United States of America, on behalf of the Chair of GRSP, informed WP.29 about the results made by the group during its fifty-seventh session (for details, see ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/57)

30. On Phase 2 of the UN GTR No. 7 (head restraints), he reported that GRSP was expected to consider a draft Addendum 1 of the Mutual Resolution No. 1 (M.R.1), along with the draft amendment to the UN GTR by the December 2015 session of GRSP, submitted by IWG. However, due to a possible delay in pending issues such as biomechanical criteria, he sought the consent of WP.29 and AC.3 to extend the deadline of the IWG mandate until December 2016. The World Forum agreed that AC.3 should consider this matter (see para. 111 below).

31. He sought the consent of WP.29 and AC.3 to extend the deadline of the IWG mandate on the draft Phase 2 of the UN GTR on pedestrian safety, aimed at including the Flex-PLI into the test of the UN GTR No. 9 until December 2016. WP.29 endorsed the request and requested AC.3 to consider this matter (see para. 112 below).

32. [The GRSP spokesman] reported that the IWG on the harmonization of side impact dummies, would continue discussions with ISO to incorporate the dummy improvements contained in the corresponding ISO standard into draft Addendum 2 to M.R.1. He, thus, sought the consent of WP.29 and AC.3 to extend the deadline of the IWG mandate until December 2016. WP.29 endorsed the request and requested AC.3 to consider this matter (see para. 123 below).

33. As concerns the development of UN Regulation No. 129 and the finalization of Phase I and Phase II for the inclusion of provisions covering booster cushion, [GRSP] informed that the IWG in charge of this issue would still need some time to address pending issues. Accordingly, he sought the endorsement of WP.29 to extend the mandate of the IWG until December 2016. WP.29 endorsed the request.

34. Finally, [GRSP] reported that the IWG on three dimensional “H” point machine (3-D H machine) was not yet in the position to draft the terms of reference because negotiations with the Society of Automotive Engineers International (SAE Int.) were required to obtain detailed drawings and technical specifications for the draft Addendum to the M.R.1. Therefore he sought guidance from WP.29 and AC.3 on how to proceed with the negotiations. WP.29 agreed to discuss this matter under agenda item 4.2.1 (see paras. 45-47 below).
