Agenda Item 9.
UN Regulation No. 17 (Strength of seats)

21. The expert from Japan introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2019/27 and amendments GRSP-66-24 and GRSP-66-26 on behalf of the task force to align UN Regulation No. 17 with UN GTR No. 7, Phase 2 provisions. The expert from CLEPA introduced amendment GRSP-66-27 which also updates ECE/TRANS/WP.29/ GRSP/2019/9. At the same time, she withdrew ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2019/7. However, GRSP noted that the expert of Germany had proposed an amendment (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2019/16) to the definition of integrated, detachable and separate head-restraints which had to be consolidated with the other documents as a whole. GRSP, therefore agreed to reiterate the establishment of a task force to complete harmonization of the UN Regulation No. 17 to the UN GTR No.7 and delegate documents ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2019/9, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2019/16, ECE/TRANS/ WP.29/GRSP/2019/27, GRSP-66-24 and GRSP-66-26 to the new task force for consideration. GRSP agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its May 2020 session.
