8. The expert from the United States introduced GRSP-52-27 aimed at explaining his study reservation to the proposed amendment to the UN GTR (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/AC.3/31 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2012/14). He explained that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) was currently conducting tests to evaluate differences between target/aim point and first point of contact with respect to testable area and Head Injury Criteria (HIC) outcome. He concluded that, until this testing was completed, he was not in the position to give a final decision on the proposal. GRSP agreed to resume consideration on this subject at its May 2013 session. |
