79. The World Forum agreed that ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2011/85 would represent considerable advantages for the harmonization and simplification of the legislative activity. Nevertheless, no agreement was reached on the solution to incorporate the protocol in the framework of the 1958 and 1998 Agreements. The representative of the United States of America did not support the proposal to incorporate the specifications of the tools in a common resolution, to which UN Regulations and UN GTRs could refer. She preferred, instead, to develop a new UN GTR. The World Forum considered that there were two possible options for incorporating the protocol into the existing framework: either incorporate it into the Consolidated Resolution of the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3) or into both R.E.3 and in a new UN GTR. The World Forum agreed to continue consideration of this matter at its November 2011 session.

97. The Chair of the informal group on the development of UN Global Technical Regulation No. 7 (Head restraints) recalled the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2011/85. The World Forum agreed with the approach for indexing the information for test devices, (as indicated in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2011/85), as Addenda to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3). The World Forum invited the Chair to develop further the proposal in cooperation with the secretariat.

98. The representative of the United Sates of America confirmed the need of his country on having the information related to test devices as a UN GTR in the framework of the 1998 Agreement.

93. The representative of the United Kingdom presented informal document WP.29-156-18 proposing to amend the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3) and to introduce discrete addenda as a repository for each specified test device. Following extensive discussion, the World Forum agreed that the development of a Special Resolution (S.R.2) could provide greater certainty for Contracting Parties to the 1998 Agreement on the definition of test devices or equipment used to determine compliance with particular requirements of UN GTRS. The representatives of the United States of America and the United Kingdom agreed to work together with the secretariat to bring forward a revised proposal for consideration at the 157th session of WP.29.
