Agenda Item 5.
UN Regulation No. 16 (Safety-belts)

9. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2020/2 amended by GRSP-67-35, on the requirements for safety-belt reminders in some particular vehicle designs and on clarifying the current text of the transitional provisions. GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2020/2, as amended by Annex III to the session report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal as draft Supplement 6 to the 07 series of amendment and as supplement 2 to the 08 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 16, for consideration and vote at the November 2020 sessions of WP.29 and the Administrative Committee of the 1958 Agreement (AC.1).

10. GRSP agreed to defer discussion on the subject of an alternative (at the choice of the manufacturer) airbag switch-off for frontal airbags in combination with rearward-facing child restraint systems in the rear seat at its December 2020 session and requested the secretariat to keep GRSP-66-14 as an informal document.

11. Finally, GRSP agreed to defer discussion (GRSP-66-08) on the possibility to have three-point safety-belts in M2 and M3 categories of vehicles, to its December 2020 session.
