| Summary | Presentation of US concerns regarding proposed definitions for locating the point of measurement (i.e. measuring point, target point, and first contact point definitions) within the test zone, changes to the test zone boundaries to clarify the adult and child Head Injury Criterion (HIC) zones, and to amend the leg form test procedure to align the leg form center plane with its measuring point. [Note: the reference to document GRSP/2011/12 does not appear to correspond with the content of the US statement. Rather, the remarks align more closely with document GRSP-54-07/Rev.1 proposing changes to the draft amendment as presented in document GRSP/2013/25).] | ||||||||

9. The expert from the EC introduced GRSP-54-07-Rev.1 to clarify provisions of the headform tests and superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2012/14 (including the final report ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2012/2). The expert from the United States of America stated that, as a general issue, the proposal was not evidence-based (GRSP-54-31) and lacked data from the current method. GRSP agreed to resume discussion at its May 2014 session on the basis of more data and requested the secretariat to distribute GRSP-54-07-Rev.1 with an official symbol and to keep GRSP-54-31 as a reference. |
