The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal as draft Supplement 10 to the 06 series and Supplement 2 to the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 16, for consideration and vote at the November 2017 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1.
Paragraph 8.3.6., amend to read:

…”

17. The expert from Germany introduced GRSP-61-02, matching the proposal on safety-belt anchorages (GRSP-61-01) (see para. 14 above). The expert from OICA requested transitional provisions for the entry into force of the proposed requirements. GRSP agreed to resume discussion at its December 2017 session on the basis of a revised proposal tabled by the expert from Germany.

18. The expert from France introduced GRSP-61-13 which clarified the second level of warning to detect occupants on the rear seating positions. GRSP noted some disagreement on the proposed requirements and invited the experts from France, EC and OICA to cooperate. Finally, GRSP agreed to resume discussion at its December 2017 session and requested the secretariat to distribute GRSP-61-13 with an official symbol at that session.

19. GRSP resumed discussion on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2016/13 which aims at introducing provisions for airbag deactivation devices (where fitted). The expert from Australia requested that more statistical data was needed to support the proposal and reiterated his invitation to experts to provide information, otherwise he would withdraw the proposal at the December 2017 session of GRSP.
