EqOP-TF4 | Session 6 | 7 Sep

This document provides background material for an IWG EqOP workshop scheduled for November 2026 in Tokyo to draft conceptual ideas for assessing robustness of vehicles in frontal crashes using a holistic approach complementing current ATD-based requirements. The workshop aims to protect occupants of varying body height, weight, shape, and seating position by maintaining structural integrity and effective safety systems. Two sessions are planned: identifying issues needing solutions through field data and EqOP priorities from GRSP-78-07, and reviewing regulatory solutions including current regulations R16, R94, and R137, with consideration of ATD and HBM roles.

She recalled the three top priorities which had been endorsed by GRSP in its 76th session and detailed the progress made by the group since the 77th session of GRSP and its next steps. She informed GRSP that they had developed a dashboard to make it easier to follow the work of the group1. She encouraged interested experts to read the report on equity issues and hypotheses in frontal impacts (informal document GRSP-78-07). The expert from OICA reiterated the suggestion made in previous sessions to keep the work of the group focused and prioritized.
