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.
