4. The expert from Germany, by way of GRSP-66-41 presented Amendment 1 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2019/26) to UN GTR No. 7 (Phase 2 of the UN GTR on head restraints) that had been prepared by the expert from Japan as technical sponsor of the informal working group (IWG). He explained that the proposal had resolved all the main issues, i.e., in square brackets: (a) text of the preamble, (b) text of the Regulation and (c) injury criteria. He added that the proposal to include the Biomechanical Rear Impact Dummy (BioRID) UN test tool in Mutual Resolution No. 1 (M.R.1) was still in final review, and that an agreement was in progress with the dummy manufacturer on disclaiming any copyright infringements. The expert from Japan introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2019/26 to highlight the main issues resolved by IWG. 5. GRSP recommended that (a) Amendment 1 to UN GTR No. 2 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2019/26), as amended below, (b) the final progress report (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2019/21), not amended and (c) the authorization to develop the work ECE/TRANS/WP.29/AC.3/25/Rev.1 be established in the global registry. The secretariat was requested to submit the Amendment, report and authorization to WP.29 and to the Executive Committee of the 1998 Agreement (AC.3) for consideration and vote at their June 2020 session as Amendment 1 to UN GTR No. 7. GRSP also agreed to suspend discussion on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2019/20 since the subject was considered to not be in the IWG mandate, though future consideration would follow a new authorization to develop the work. <i<Annex 3, paragraph 2.1.1., shall be deleted. 6. GRSP, agreed to resume consideration on this subject at its May 2020 session on the basis of a proposal of Addendum to M.R.1. to incorporate drawings, specifications and manual of the BioRID test tool. GRSP also agreed that consideration on this subject would have as a prerequisite that the dummy manufacturer provide the set of drawings for the test tool and agree to have the disclaimer on intellectual property rights removed from the drawings. |
