Agenda Item 5.
Harmonization of side impact dummies

11. The Chair of GRSP reminded GRSP about the decision of the National Highway Transport Safety Administration (NHTSA) to no longer be IWG Chair due to lack of resources. He recalled the statement of the expert from Germany at the December 2017 session of GRSP (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/62, para. 10) that the addenda of M.R.1 which incorporates anthropomorphic test device (crash test dummies) specifications, particularly of side impact dummies (e.g. World Side Impact Dummy fiftieth percentile), be completed as soon as possible. Therefore, he encouraged Germany finding a solution for the chairmanship of the group.
