19. The expert from the Republic of Korea introduced the status report (GRSP-73-43) of the Ad Hoc Group on Safety-Belt Reminders (SBR). He informed GRSP that the Group agreed to clarify and resolve three SBR issues introduced at the seventy-second session of GRSP (GRSP-72-13). He concluded that the Group planned to convene virtually at the end of May to seek basis for a proposal for discussion at the December 2023 session of GRSP. The expert from France introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2023/17, to clarify: (a) how to assess SBR connection in the case of removable seats and (b) test procedure of SBR. The expert from OICA reiterated that GRSP-73-24 also amends ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2023/17. GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2023/17 as amended by annex III to the session report. GRSP requested the secretariat to submit the proposal as part of the draft 09 Series of Amendments (paragraphs 17 to 19) to UN Regulation No. 16 for consideration and vote at the November 2023 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1.
