| Document title | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 17 | ||||||||||
| Date | 11 May 2017 | Proposal to clarify that seat belt components such as retractors shall not sustain damage during testing according to Annex 9 of UN R17. Presently, these components have occasionally been damaged during testing such that their functionality has been impaired. In order to ensure adequate occupant safety, this proposal would require all safety-belt components to be included in the test installation, clarifies that such damage is not acceptable, and requires post-test inspection. | |||||||||

22. The expert from Germany introduced GRSP-61-19-Rev.1 to clarify that safety-belts and components should still in function after the load retention test. The expert from OICA argued that inevitably after the test some components would be damaged and raised a study reservation. GRSP agreed to resume discussion at its December 2017 session and requested the secretariat to distribute GRSP-61-19-Rev.1 with an official symbol. |
