31. The expert from CLEPA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2016/3 and GRSP-59-04 proposing to update the references to the European standard on toxicity and flammability of materials used to manufacture Child Restraint Systems (CRS). The expert from Japan introduced GRSP-59-05 and amending this proposal. GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2016/3, as amended by Annex III to this report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal for consideration and vote at the November 2016 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1 as draft Supplement 12 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 44.
42. GRSP noted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2016/5, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2016/6, GRSP-59-04 and GRSP-59-05 as parallel amendments (already adopted for UN Regulation No. 44) to update the references to the European standard on toxicity and flammability of materials used to manufacture CRS (see para. 31 above). GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2016/5 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2016/6, as amended by Annex V to this report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposals for consideration and vote at the November 2016 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1, as part of (see para. 41) draft Supplement 5 to the original text of UN Regulation No. 129 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2016/5) and as part of (see para. 41 above) draft Supplement 1 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 129 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2016/6).
42. Moreover, GRSP considered parallel draft provisions (GRSP-58-32 and GRSP-58-34 superseding GRSP-58-23) on toxicity and flammability as discussed under agenda item 15 (see para. 33 above). GRSP agreed to resume consideration on this subject at its May 2016 session and requested the secretariat to distribute GRSP-58-32 and GRSP-58-34 with an official symbol at that session.
