The current text of UN R107 does not permit flexible straps for restraining rear-facing wheelchairs. CLCCR proposes to permit this option for enhancing wheelchair lateral stability.
6. Recalling the discussion at the previous GRSG session on GRSG-100-16, the expert from CLCCR introduced GRSG-102-12 on the lateral stability of rearward facing wheelchairs. GRSG welcomed the proposal and agreed to reconsider this matter at its next session. The secretariat was requested to distribute GRSG-102-12 with an official symbol.
