The expert from France introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2016/20 on the introduction of “Booster Seat” fixtures (ISO/B2 and ISO/B3) and “Reduced-Size Rearward Facing toddler CRS” fixture (ISO/R2x) added to Regulation No. 16 which corresponds with the implementation of Phase 2 of Regulation No. 129. GRSP adopted the proposal, not amended.

5.2. OICA Presentation (Ansgar POTT from HYUNDAI)

In the first presentation CRS-59-08e, Ansgar POTT (HYUNDAI) shows us modification made in the documents and proposal for the Reg. n° 16.

In the second presentation CRS-59-09e, Ansgar POTT (HYUNDAI) shows proposal for Reg. n° 14.
Hans AMMERLAAN (RDW) made in the past, proposal for mass limit for the use of Isofix connectors for non-integral products. Ansgar POTT (HYUNDAY) highlight that we have to limit mass of booster seat.

According to Pierre CASTAING (UTAC & Chairman), there is currently limitation for Isofix connector, top tether anchorage and support leg position but for I-size products. We can add these limitations for boosters seats but it must be done after a study on the loads transmitted through isofix connectors by non integral CRS.

We have to check that :

  • To keep consistency between CRS and car regulations, Class A, B & C deleted in OICA proposals for R14 and R16should be also removed from R44 and R129 reg.
  • Isofix fixations are only defined for i-Size ECRS and specific vehicle isofix ECRS. Is it possible to use them for other categories (hybrid products, belted and isofix) Should a pitch angle be applied on booster seat or not?

Ansgar POTT (HYUNDAI) asked the group to check both proposals CRS-59-08e & CRS-59-09e and send comments, reactions & remarks before mid of July 2016 in order to be taken into account in the final proposal.
