Geneva
Agenda Item 20.
Collective amendments to Regulations Nos. 14 and 16

43. GRSP considered GRSP-58-06-Rev.1 (superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/25 and GRSP-58-05), tabled by the expert from the Netherlands to introduce: (i) a definition of flexible shoulder adjustment device for height, (ii) provisions for its testing and (iii) to define its strict field of installation for vehicle categories M2 and M3. The expert from the Russian Federation supported GRSP-58-06-Rev.1 but objected to the deletion of the last sentence of subparagraph 5.4.3.6.1.(a), as it was originally proposed in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/25. GRSP, adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/25, as amended by Annex V (GRSP-58-06-Rev.1) to this report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their June 2016 sessions as draft Supplement 7 to the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 14 and as draft Supplement 7 to the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 16.

44. GRSP also noted GRSP-58-03-Rev.1, tabled by the expert from EC, aimed at promoting the use of ISOFIX and especially the ‘plug-and-play’ concept of i-Size child restraint systems (to reduce misuse of CRS). He explained that the proposal would prevent that the installation of one i-Size CRS would not impair the installation of a second i-Size CRS, and that at least two ISOFIX locations could be used at the same time. The expert from OICA suggested to leave the current text of the UN Regulations unchanged to allow more choice to parents in the allocation of i-Size CRS. The expert from Japan requested clarification on the number of fixtures to be installed at the same time to verify availability of space to install i-Size CRS.

45. Finally, GRSP agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its May 2016 session, pending a revised proposal tabled by the expert from the EC
