17. The expert from France introduced GRSP-60-11-Rev.1 amending ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2016/21 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2016/24 as amended by GRSP-60-10. He added that both proposals introduced provisions for Phase 2 of Regulation No. 129 (see para. 13 above). He also explained that ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2016/24 also aligned the 07 series with the 06 series of amendments to the Regulation. The expert from EC introduced GRSP-60-22, improving the provisions concerning contact of the head or of the chest with any rigid part of the vehicle (para. 6.4.1.4.1.2. of the Regulation). GRSP noted that the use of transitional provisions in supplements should be limited as much as possible and only in special cases as indicated by ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1044/Rev.1 (General Guidelines for UN Regulatory Procedures and Transitional Provisions in UN Regulations). Finally, GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2016/21 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2016/24, as amended by Annex IV to the session report. The secretariat was requested to submit: (i) ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2016/21 as draft Supplement 9 to the 06 series of amendments and (ii) ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2016/24 as draft Supplement 1 to the 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 16, for consideration and vote at the June 2017 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1.

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.
