The group discussed the next steps based on the scenarios shown in document FI-13-04 during the May GRSP session by the chairman of IWG R94. It was agreed that the final step should be the introduction of the THOR dummy into the regulation. However, taking into account that mid-term improvements in particular for vulnerable occupants shall be reached, a modified H3 – considering options like THMPR, RibEye – version with improved criteria like DEQ could be used. It was agreed that an expert group shall consider and suggest such possibilities. It was furthermore suggested that the THORAX project shall also evaluate the application of such modifications.

A document of new terms of reference has been produced – document FI-13-05 – and has been approved so far.
