46. The secretariat presented WP.29-164-26 and indicated that following the discussions at WP.29 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1108, para. 39), the WP.29 Secretary proposed listing best practices on the use of private standards in UN Regulations, UN Rules and UN GTRs managed by WP.29. He recalled the different manners used by the GRs to reference standards (incorporation by reference, partial or full reproduction). He reported on the ISO cooperation with GRSG to access and review two standards during the 107th GRSG session. He outlined the methods of cooperation between GRs with standards developing organizations and how information is received about the content of standards, as well as answering questions raised by the experts. He concluded that these best practices could be extended to all GRs, if needed. The Chairs of GRPE and GRRF announced that they would bring this document to the attention of both GRs.

12. The expert from Australia recalled GRSP about the decision of AC.3 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1112, para. 83) to adopt a new Addendum 2 to the M.R.1 to include specifications on the 50th percentile World Side Impact Dummy (WorldSID), by referring them to the corresponding ISO standard (as a temporary solution) awaiting the availability of the full set of drawings from ISO. The Chair of GRSP informed GRSP that the goal of the IWG on harmonization of side impact dummies was to convene at the beginning of 2015 to incorporate the specifications of that dummy in the M.R.1. However, he added that the work of the IWG would continue to incorporate the specifications of the fifth percentile dummy. Finally, GRSP noted WP.29-164-26, distributed at the November 2015 session of WP.29, providing an update on the cooperation of WP.29 secretariat with ISO, concerning the accessibility of ISO standards to the experts of subsidiary bodies of WP.29.
