32. The expert from Netherlands on behalf of a dummy manufacturer introduced GRSP-69-15, explaining that his company would work with any interested parties concerning devices that represent vulnerable occupants. He also offered full cooperation concerning the 50th percentile female dummies and offered to actively support Sweden in the development and evaluation of the respective Anthropomorphic Test Device. The experts from Sweden introduced (GRSP-69-42) reiterating the result of a study conducted in her country showing that adult female were poorly represented by existing dummies. She therefore suggested to start to form an ad hoc group to understand the issue and elaborate a suggestion for terms of reference for an IWG addressing both men and women equally and diversity of occupants to be presented for the December 2021 session of GRSP. She suggested to cooperate with interested Contracting Parties and manufacturers and to invite experts of the Global Forum for Road Traffic Safety (WP.1) and of the Working Party on Regulatory Cooperation and Standardization Policies (WP.6) to join if were still lingering questions. It was noted that possible participation of WP.1 and WP.6 should be consulted with the Administrative Committee on the coordination of work of WP.29 (AC.2) to receive endorsement.
