GRSP | Session 48 | 7-10 Dec 2010

5. GRSP noted that the Executive Committee of the 1998 Agreement (AC.3) at its November 2010 session (see ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1087, para. 109) agreed to transmit to GRSP two proposals amending the terms of reference of the informal group on gtr No. 7 Phase 2 (GRSP-48-11 and GRSP-48-12). Accordingly, the Chair of the informal group, informed GRSP on the work progress of the group and its intention to focus on a revised work plan:

  1. new height requirements;
  2. a dynamic test to mitigate both short and long term whiplash injuries rather than on low and high test speed pulse;
  3. evaluate dummies, their use and injury criteria to reflect high biofidelity human body mechanism in real world accidents.

6. He informed GRSP of his intention to submit a new proposal amending the terms of reference based on GRSP-48-33 (superseding GRSP-48-11 and GRSP-48-12), including the extension of the mandate of the group until 2013, to the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) and AC.3 at their March 2011 session. GRSP recommended that its experts provide comments onto GRSP-48-33 to the expert from Japan by January 2011.

7. GRSP also noted that three informal groups: (i) pole side impact, (ii) harmonization of side impact dummies and (iii) gtr No. 7 Phase 2, scheduled a joint meeting in Brussels for the week 28 February to 4 March 2011.

8. Finally, GRSP took note of GRSP-48-18, GRSP-48-19 and GRSP-48-38 tabled by the expert from India and agreed to keep them for reference in the agenda of its future sessions.
