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.

Proposal to harmonize airbag warning labels regarding the correct use of a child restraint system in a seating position equipped with an activated frontal airbag in order to prohibit the display of additional information unrelated to child safety.

Presentation on the concerns addressed by the proposal to clarify the correct use of the seat-belt strap in the installation of a CRS in order to ensure proper testing for approvals (document GRSP/2017/13).

Proposal to harmonize information in the airbag warning label on the correct installation of Child Restraint Systems (CRS).

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.

For the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval, a UN Regulation is split in two regulations, UN Regulation No. 14-08 series of amendments including only adult safety belt anchorages and a new regulation UN Regulation No. [XX] will include all requirements for child restraint anchorages. Accordingly, this proposal would update the references to UN Regulation No. 14 in UN Regulation No. 16 in order to recognize child restraint system anchorages installed on the vehicle and approved under the new regulation.

Proposal to amend UN R44 in line with the proposal to amend UN R14 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.

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. The text includes all modifications proposed by GRSP up to and including its sixtieth session (13-16 December 2016) as well as those of the Informal Working Group on Child Restraint Systems up to and including its sixty-third session (Brussels, 25th January 2017).
3. 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,
