4.5.1. Anchorage positions
Current NPACS lower anchorages induce interference problems (load cell and belt plate) in lateral configuration with intruding door.
Presentation from F. RENAUDIN of anchorages positions (CRS-38-07).
The recommendation of the group is to investigate cutting of the door to prevent these interactions rather than modifying anchorages positions. Action: CLEPA with TRL collaboration.
4.5.2. Strap definition
Strap definition : use the same definition as R44
First the anchorages location needs to be defined. Then the belt length could be defined using the R16 gabarit.
Retractor: A more clear definition of the feature is needed.
4.5.3. Installation on test bench
Take the installation method from the R44 regulation and adapt it for iSize reg. Action: Chairman + Secretary with advice of TSG.
Presentation of the review of seatbelt anchorage and dimensions of test bench seat cushion form JASIC (CRS-38-08).
Presentation of accident case (CRS-38-09) by Philippe LESIRE: Soft vehicles with low impact speed (45kmh vs 45 km/h with 30° angle => this accident was not more severe than the R44 level). After this accident, adults were OK, but the 28 month child seated in a booster shield died. The car seat was chosen by parents because it is a good one according to rating. The child fatal injuries occur on head and abdominal area. The shield restrain explain the fatal injury mechanism on the abdomen.
