GRSP | Session 51 | 21-25 May 2012

14. The expert from the United States of America informed GRSP (GRSP-51-30) about the outcome of the last meeting of the informal working group on the harmonization work of the World Side Impact Dummy (WorldSID) held in London, on 21 March, 2012. She reported that the informal working group was confident to finalize the work for the 50th percentile dummy within the scheduled time. However, she indicated major issues remaining the readiness of the dummy: (i) the drawing package and user’s manual still need negotiation with the manufacturer for its availability, (ii) additional certification work is needed for the pelvis and (iii) further discussion was necessary on instrumentation for multi-axis thorax deflection.

15. The experts from OICA and UK suggested the same timeline for adopting the WorldSID and the UN GTR on pole side impact to make the dummy available to Contracting Parties. GRSP agreed to resume discussion on this agenda item at its December 2012 session on the basis of a proposal submitted by the informal working group.
