Presently, rearward-facing child restraint systems cannot be type approved under the ISOFIX Universal category of UN R16. Spain sees no technical reasons to forbid type approval of rearward facing ISOFIX as universal CRS and so proposes to add such enabling provisions to the regulation.
21. The expert from the Netherlands introduced GRSP-50-02 in order to provide an installation procedure for CRS that takes into account the position of the seat in front of that to be tested. The expert from OICA raised a study reservation on the proposal. Finally, GRSP agreed to resume consideration on this matter at its May 2012 session on the basis of a revised proposal jointly prepared by the experts from the Netherlands and OICA.
22. The expert from Spain introduced GRSP-50-15, to allow the installation of universal ISOFIX rearward facing child restraint systems as defined in UN Regulation No. 44. GRSP did not support GRSP-50-15 because of conflicts with the text of the draft UN Regulation on CRS and agreed to remove this matter from the agenda of its May 2012 session.
23. The Chair of the informal working group on CRS, introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/23 prepared by his group to match the provisions of UN Regulation No. 16 with those of draft UN Regulation on CRS. GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/23, not amended. The secretariat was requested to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their June 2012 sessions for the time being as draft [Supplement 3 to the 06 series of amendments] making the same recommendation for its adoption by WP.29 and AC.1 as per UN Regulation No. 14 (see para. 20).
