Updated proposal from the CRS informal working group, superseding document GRSP/2017/15, to enable the type approval of integral and non-integral Enhanced Child Restraint Systems equipped with an impact shield.

Updated proposal from the CRS informal working group, superseding document GRSP/2017/16, to enable the type approval of integral and non-integral Enhanced Child Restraint Systems equipped with an impact shield.

Updated proposal from the CRS informal working group, superseding document GRSP/2017/17.

1. The proposed amendment includes Enhanced Child Restraint Systems from the universal belted or specific to vehicle belted categories into the scope of UN Regulation No. 129. This represents Phase 3 of the UN Regulation.
2. This proposal refers to the original text of Regulation No. 129, including the following amendments:
   • Corrigendum 1,
   • Supplement 1,
   • Supplement 2,
   • Supplement 3,
   • Supplement 4,
   • the 01 series of amendments,
   • Supplement 1 to the 01 series of amendments,
   • the 02 series of amendments,
   • Supplement 1 to the 02 series of amendments (GRSP/2016/19 and 23 amended by GRSP-60-08-Rev.1),
   • Supplement 2 to the 01 series of amendments (GRSP/2016/22 amended by GRSP-60-09-Rev.2).

In order to facilitate the establishment of an International Whole Vehicle Type Approval, provisions concerning requirements for child restraint systems are being extracted from UN R14 into a new regulation. Therefore, this proposal would update the references to UN R14 in UN R129 to enable recognition of anchorage approvals under the adult safety belt regulation (UN R14 as amended) and the new child restraint anchorage regulation.

Presentation of the phase 1, phase 2, and phase 3 amendments to UN R129 on child restraint systems. The presentation corresponds respectively to documents GRSP/2017/15 (superseded by GRSP-61-15), GRSP/2017/16 (superseded by GRSP-61-16), and GRSP/2017/17 (superseded by GRSP-61-17).

CLEPA response to the presentation on the phase 1, 2, and 3 amendments to UN R126 (document GRSP-61-28) regarding the proposals for amendments to the 01 and 02 series of amendments and for the 03 series of amendments. CLEPA expresses concern that certain restrictions and requirements have been proposed without adequate research and discussion, often related to concerns raised under UN R44, that would imposed unwarranted burdens on manufacturers.

Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement allows for a Unique Identifier (UI) under the DETA system as an alternative to the current approval mark. In the case of child restraint systems, the approval mark contains important information for users. Therefore, this proposal would prohibit replacement of the approval mark by the UI.

Proposal to amend UN R129 in line with the proposal to amend UN R14 (document GRSP/2017/8) in order to separate child restraint provisions (including ISOFIX anchorage provisions) into a new UN Regulation. The ISOFIX amendment to UN R14 has been introduced to facilitate the establishment of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) regulation by limiting the scope of UN R14 to adult safety belts.
