FI \| Session 14 \| 7 Sep 2011		Presentation by Germany. Germany (Mr. Damm) proposed to modify the frontal impact regulation R94 in two steps: Step 1 (short term till 2014): ► Introduction of full width test based on the outcome of FIMCAR ► Introduction of criteria or procedure for geometric alignment of front structures ► Introduction of new thorax injury prediction tools if appropriate ► Introduction of 5th female dummy in the full width test if appropriate Step 2 (long term starting in 2014) ► Development of a GTR on Frontal Impact ► Introduction of new dummy family (Thor 50th and 5th) ► Introduction of new dummy performance criteria ► Review of offset test procedure A short discussion started on the proposal. Mr. Pott asked if Germany discussed the proposal with other contracting parties (especially with those from the 98-agreement). Mr. Damm answered that there were some discussions with the US and reported about a principle interest in the GTR.
