GRSP | Session 73 | 15-19 May 2023

33. As per paragraph 16, the expert from the Netherlands on behalf of the Ad Hoc Group on CRS introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2023/13 and GRSP-73-18-Rev.2 on allowing the use of LTA. GRSP noted that the additional sentence in paragraph 6.6.4.1.2.1., that clarifies how ISOFIX ECRS should be dynamically tested, was removed from GRSP-73-18-Rev.2. This would allow the new 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 129 proposed in GRSP-73-18-Rev.2 to focus on provisions for Enhanced Child Restraint Systems (ECRS) with lower tethers. GRSP agreed with the principle of the sentence on ISOFIX ECRS, to clarify that an ISOFIX ECRS that relies on the vehicle seat as the sole anti-rotation device must be dynamically tested on each vehicle body shell specified on the CRS fitting list. However, GRSP noted that another amendment of paragraph 6.6.4.1.2. had been proposed by the expert from CLEPA in GRSP-73-42, and so agreed to resume discussion at its December 2023 session. GRSP also adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2023/13 as amended by annex VIII to the session report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal as draft 04 Series of Amendments to UN Regulation No. 129 to the November 2023 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1. The secretariat was also requested to distribute GRSP-73-42 with an official symbol at its next session. GRSP requested its experts to provide comments on GRSP-73-42 to the expert from CLEPA.
