The group went through the activity items’ list of the Terms of Reference (document GTR9-4-03). The chair explained the intention to review the activity item to know the current status and to use colors in order to give an overview which activity is finalized so far. The result will be circulated as document GTR9-4-03r1.

Regarding the activity item 1k (see also agenda item 12), OICA is going to prepare a document for the next meeting. OICA will also prepare a document on test procedure issues (activity item 1f, e. g. definition of rebound phase, etc.). Some discussion came up related to the activity item for evaluation of reproducibility and repeatability (item 1i). Japan states that this activity should be indicated in green (finalized) on basis of the certification tests – the impactor is proven to be repeatable. OICA opposed because repeatability and reproducibility are also linked to vehicle tests. This is of high priority for car manufacturers since they must be sure that the type approval labs will achieve the same (plus/minus) results than the development departments. It was agreed to keep the activity item 1i in yellow (in process). The outcome of the round robin tests should remain to be seen.
