The proposed amendment does not intend to change the requirements nor the level of stringency. The footnote to paragraph 3.2.2. is added to further clarify the definition of the use of a one belt route. In its current state, the text apparently has been interpreted as to allow the use of a single belt route for each application that an Enhanced Child Restraint System (ECRS) would offer. That way, one belt route for a rearward facing ECRS (integral) and a second belt route for a forward facing (non- integral) ECRS has been introduced, making a combination of C and E.

The expert from the Netherlands, on behalf of the Technical Services Group, introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2023/11 and GRSP-73-14-Rev.1 amending it, to clarify the single belt route principle in paragraph 3.2.2. of the UN Regulation. GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2023/11 as amended by annex VIII to the session report, and requested the secretariat to submit it as draft Supplement 10 to the 03 Series of Amendments and as part of (paragraph 33) the draft 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 129 for consideration and vote at the November 2023 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1.
