Dr. A. Konosu also presented an overview of all TEG activities (informal document GTR9-C-05). He underlined that the TEG had done a lot of work and that several items that may appear to be open were already covered. The presentation Dr. Konosu gave relates to the items investigated during the work of the TEG and links the work to the document numbers.

The Chairman apologized that this document could not be shared in advance due to the file size. However, the document will be uploaded onto the UNECE website. All attendees are kindly requested to review the content in detail and to provide comments by the next meeting.

GTR9 | Session 1 | 1-2 Dec 2011

Dr. Konosu (JARI), who also served as chair of the Technical Evaluation Group (TEG), presented document GTR9-C-05 summarizing the work of this group. The presentation was welcomed.

Mr. Martin (DTS) asked why the certification of the components just mentions 325 Nm for the bone cores but 340 Nm for the legform assembly. Mr. Been (Humanetics) explained that the injury criterion was finally decided during the work of the TEG to be 340 Nm and the bone in the latest version is certified with 400 Nm at component level. This has not yet been reflected in the document shown but will be considered accordingly in all future FlexPLI activities.
