22. The expert from Italy, Chair of IWG on Protective Helmets (IWG-PH), informed GRSP about the final outcome of the group. He introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2019/25, as amended by GRSP-66-21, in a presentation (GRSP-66-22). He explained that IWG had examined and, in principle, had reached consensus on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2019/25 and on its amendments GRSP-66-21. He reiterated the statement that the proposal would be further developed by IWG, according to the results of ongoing research and that the main goals of the proposal were: (a) rotational acceleration requirements, (b) integration of the standard impact points, © high and low energy impact, (d) mechanical visor tests and (e) new procedure for production qualification tests. The expert from France stated that the it would be advisable to put in place a better system for monitoring the results of oblique shocks to define the future requirements of the 07 series of amendments (Phase 2 of the UN Regulation). He stressed the need of tools and data collection to devise the requirements of the future Phase 2. The expert from the Netherlands supported the suggestion of the expert from France to implement a monitoring system that was integrated into the type approval or certificate document. The expert from Germany argued that the implementation of monitoring into the type approval certificate would be cumbersome to manage.

23. GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2019/25, as amended by Annex III to this report, and agreed to establish a task force that would convene in February 2020 to discuss a monitoring solution for future Supplement 1 to the 06 series of amendments. GRSP requested the secretariat to submit the proposal as draft 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 22, for consideration and vote at the June 2020 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1. Finally, GRSP also agreed to: (a) resume discussion on this subject at its May 2020 session on the basis of a proposal submitted by the task force and (b) suspend but not dissolve IWG until new research results were available to start Phase 2 of the UN Regulation.
