List of questions & answers are available on the website of UNECE. [document CRS-37-02 above] Presentation from Erik SALTERS (DOREL) of the CLEPA analysis – Future iSize approval possibilities for IG consideration [document CRS-37-04 above]. Option “2” Remarks from Peter BROERTJES about Directive 2003/20/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 April 2003, amending Council Directive 91/671/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Members States relating to compulsory use of safety belts in vehicles of less than 3,5 tonnes and the direct reference to regulation 44. According to EC lawyers, the iSize ECRS regulation can be considered as an improvement of regulation 44. This directive is then according to lawyers compatible with the use of iSize product. The EC will, if necessary communicate this in June 2013 if there are barriers from member states with the use of the new iSize regulation. The iSize regulation will be in force on the July 9th. Use of iSize fixtures: The CRS must fit into the iSize box for the declared height range stated on the CRS. The check of the gabarit has to be done with the CRS with the largest size of the declared range in at least one seating position. The lateral dynamic test will be performed in this configuration. For frontal impact the test shall be perform in extreme size position adjustment (worst case). The CRS can be outside the iSize box for comfort adjustability, outside the stated range, i.e. width adjustment, headrest adjustment, recline positions. |
