9. GRSG noted the proposal (GRSG-127-23) from the expert of OICA, that was revised from the October 2023 session of GRSG. In the case when safety-belts and an airbag limit head movement, exemption for the mandatory headform test to limit head injuries. The expert of OICA stressed that UN Regulation No. 21 provides a set of dummies and tests which aim for head contact to not occur. The expert from Japan argued that the proposal over-relaxed the purpose of the UN Regulation and recommended careful consideration of the issue. The expert from the United Kingdom offered to discuss online, possible improvements with the expert from OICA. Finally, GRSG agreed to resume discussion on a revised proposal and requested concerned parties to liaise with the expert from OICA. |
