| GRSP | Session 66 | 10-13 Dec 2019 |
30. The expert from Finland introduced GRSP-66-07 explaining that his administration had recommended amendment to the UN Regulation on the back part of seats to make them safer by preventing sharp and/or hard edges. GRSP agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its May 2020 session on the basis of a possible proposal. 29. The expert from OICA explained that he was not yet ready to propose improvements to the static test as a follow-up of the discussion undertaken in the last session of GRSP (ECE/TRAN/WP.29/GRSP/65, para. 26), even though quite some work had already been conducted. He added his intention to submit a proposal in 2020. Therefore, he asked GRSP to provide feedback, at the earliest convenience through: oica@oica.net and/or yvanderstraaten@oica.net. |
