Analysis of a fatal crash event involving a van the lost its grip on the ice-covered road surface, crossed into the opposite lane and collided head-on with an estate car of approximately the same weight, fully laden with passengers. The investigation showed that the back of the rear seat was severely deformed, despite being reinforced and well within the regulatory strength requirements described in UN-ECE R17.

Proposal to clarify the test procedure for the height of head restraints in the case of vehicles having a low roof construction.

Proposal from the GRSP secretariat to correct a transposition error between GRSP/2020/8 and the text in WP.29/2020/106. The WP.29 text as adopted omitted the deletion in para. 1.4.2.2.: “The front and rear zones are respectively bounded by the horizontal plane tangential to the top of the head restraint as determined in paragraph 6.5. of this Regulation.”
