20. | Collective amendments to Regulations Nos. 14 and 16

43. GRSP considered GRSP-58-06-Rev.1 (superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/25 and GRSP-58-05), tabled by the expert from the Netherlands to introduce: (i) a definition of flexible shoulder adjustment device for height, (ii) provisions for its testing and (iii) to define its strict field of installation for vehicle categories M2 and M3. The expert from the Russian Federation supported GRSP-58-06-Rev.1 but objected to the deletion of the last sentence of subparagraph 5.4.3.6.1.(a), as it was originally proposed in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/25. GRSP, adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/25, as amended by Annex V (GRSP-58-06-Rev.1) to this report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their June 2016 sessions as draft Supplement 7 to the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 14 and as draft Supplement 7 to the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 16.

6. | Regulation No. 14 (Safety-belt anchorages)
7. | Regulation No. 16 (Safety-belts)
16. | Collective amendments Regulations No. 14 and 16

34. GRSP noted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/10, tabled by the expert from the Netherlands to clarify that the adjustment device for the height of the effective upper anchorage (introduced recently for buses) might be part of the anchorage or of the safety-belt requirements. The expert from Denmark expressed concerns that the system would be used as a CRS in buses, as has happened in the past because it is cheaper than a real CRS. The expert from France supported in principle the proposal pending further clarifications. GRSP agreed to resume discussion at its December 2015 session on the basis of a revised proposal voluntarily prepared by the expert from the Netherlands.
