Proposal to ensure that only safe head restraints are fitted to seats of any seating position in all vehicle categories within the scope of UN R17 and to extend the test performance of paragraph 5.7.4 (height retention of head restraints) to non-adjustable head restraint with only one position of use.
21. GRSP resumed discussion on two revised proposals tabled by the expert from Germany. He introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2023/4 to ensure that only safe head restraints would be fitted on seats in any seating position in all vehicle categories. Then he introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2023/5 that covers the same provisions of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2023/4 with additional new requirements in a new series of amendments. GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2023/4 not amended, and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2023/5 as amended by annex IV to the session report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposals for consideration and vote at the November 2023 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1. as: (a) draft Supplement 1 to the 10 series of amendments (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2023/4) and (b) draft 11 Series of Amendments (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2023/5) to UN Regulation No. 17.
