33. The expert from France, Chair of the IWG on Enhanced Child Restraint Systems (ECRS), introduced: (i) a presentation to show the main content of the draft 01 series of amendments incorporating provisions for booster seats (GRSP-56-28), (ii) the draft proposal (GRSP-56-08 superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/28) and (iii) the consolidated version of the UN Regulation, incorporating the proposed amendments (GRSP-56-09). The expert from OICA proposed to reduce the height of the measuring device, to evaluate a universal booster cushion, from 910 mm to 830 mm. He explained that this last value would be less restrictive for vehicle design. The expert from EC informed GRSP that a research test report on child abdominal injuries would be published soon. Accordingly, he raised a study reservation to consider the above-mentioned outcome of research and to complete the assessment of GRSP-56-08. GRSP agreed to resume discussion at its May 2015 session to consider and adopt, as a whole, draft 01 series of amendments and the parallel amendments to UN Regulation No. 16 (see para. 17). Finally, the secretariat was requested to distribute GRSP-56-08 with an official symbol at the next GRSP session.

Farid BENDJELLAL (BRITAX) explained that the drawing of the measuring device is incorrect. The drawing shows the shoulder height being measured to the centre of the cylinder, but it should be the top of the cylinder. he showed that a new drawing had already been implemented in an earlier draft of Phase 2 presented to GRSP (GRSP-56-09), but it had been omitted from recent drafts.

The new drawing was added to the consolidated amendments document that we were working on during the meeting and is included in our amendment of Phase 1. Erik SALTERS (DOREL) will send a new version of this drawing with better resolution.
