13. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2017/8 as the official proposal to remove ISOFIX anchorages from the Regulation and to incorporate them into the new Regulation that was dedicated to these anchorages only (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2017/7, see para. 45). GRSP adopted the proposal, as amended below, as the most viable solution to solve the incompatibility of the requirements of the Regulation with the existing designs of Child Restraint Systems (CRS) in Australia and including UN Regulation No. 14 into Annex 4 of the future UN Regulation No. 0 on the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA). The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal as draft 08 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 14, for consideration and vote at the November 2017 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1.

Paragraph 3.2.1., amend to read:
“3.2.1. Drawings of the general vehicle structure on an appropriate scale, showing the positions of the belt anchorages, of the effective belt anchorages (where appropriate) and detailed drawings of the belt anchorages;”

28. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2017/10 which aligns the text of the Regulation for the purpose of splitting UN Regulation No. 14. GRSP adopted the proposal not amended and requested the secretariat to submit it for consideration and vote at the November 2017 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1 as draft Supplement 13 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 44.

34. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2017/11 to update the cross references to UN Regulation No. 14 and to the new UN Regulation on ISOFIX. He also presented GRSP-61-27 to introduce the same update to the original text of UN Regulation No. 129. GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2017/11, as amended by Annex VI and GRSP-61-27 as reproduced in Annex VI to this report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposals for consideration and vote at the November 2017 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1 as: (i) draft Supplement 6 to UN Regulation No. 129 (GRSP-61-27), (ii) draft Supplement 3 to the 01 series and (iii) draft Supplement 2 to the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 129 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2017/11).

14. The expert from OICA introduced two proposals: (a) GRSP-60-04 to remove ISOFIX anchorages from the Regulation and (b) GRSP-60-05 to incorporate them into a new one dedicated to these anchorages only. He explained that, in his opinion, the two proposals constitute the most viable solution aimed at solving the incompatibility of the requirements of the Regulation with the existing designs of Child Restraint Systems (CRS) in Australia and including Regulation No. 14 into Annex 4 of the future Regulation No. 0 on the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA). The expert from Australia supported the solution proposed by the expert from OICA as well as the experts from Italy, Japan and Sweden. However, the experts from the Netherlands and EC argued that the improvement proposed by Australia and covering harmonization issues should not be disregarded. The experts from France and the United Kingdom supported the splitting of Regulation No. 14 and urged that some improvements on ISOFIX provisions were needed once that the new Regulation was established.

15. GRSP agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its May 2017 session, on the basis of revised proposals tabled by OICA including the replacement of dynamic with static references in Regulation No. 14 and in a number of other Regulations. In the meantime, it was agreed to keep GRSP-58-13 on the next GRSP agenda for future development of ISOFIX provisions.
