Some discussion then came up on what NHTSA would need for their internal discussion. Mr. Nguyen explained that this has not yet been finally discussed. Dr. Konosu proposed that a schedule should be developed that can be followed to assure that every information is available in time. On request of the chair Mr. Martin promised that NHTSA will review the TEG document that already explained several of the information mentioned above (document TEG-127) and that he will provide some initial comments to Mr. Zander and Mr. Takahashi. As soon as the document of BASt and JASIC is available, NHTSA will review this and submit comments. All other attendees of course are also invited to do so; comments should be made available before 1st July 2013 (action item A-6-11).
Dr. Ries asked to clarify whether this now means that the current impactor thresholds will be maintained. Also, he pointed out again that it is more important to first guarantee a stable performance of the tool itself. The chair responded that by now no decision on this can be made and that this therefore will be decided in the next meeting. Consequently, action item A-4-03 will be postponed to the 7th meeting. Mr. Zander added that for this discussion it would be extremely helpful to get further information about the performance of other legforms on master leg build level as already agreed for action item A-6-06.
