16. The expert from CLEPA introduced GRSP-56-10 (superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/27) aimed at clarifying the provisions for dynamic testing of rear seat system and advanced restraint system approval. The expert from France stressed the need to update the test provisions to verify displacement of rear occupants wearing safety-belts equipped with load limiters. He informed GRSP that the New Car Assessment Programme was defining similar provisions by using the fifth percentile female dummy. GRSP agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its May 2015 session and requested the secretariat to distribute GRSP-56-10 with an official symbol.

13. The expert from CLEPA introduced a presentation (GRSP-57-25) to explain ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/16 and GRSP-57-03 (superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/4) aimed at clarifying the provisions for dynamic testing of rear seat system and advanced restraint system approval. The expert from Japan argued that the proposal was not assessing the air-bag performance through UN Regulation No. 94 because it was addressing other occupants than those seating in lateral frontal positions. The expert from France clarified that the proposal was addressing the concept of restraint systems to other seating positions than front outboard positions. The expert from EC suggested aligning the proposed provisions with those of UN Regulation No. 21, concerning the speed of impact of seating position protected by an air-bag. Accordingly, the expert from CLEPA introduced GRSP-57-28 incorporating the comments received during the discussion. The experts from France and Japan raised study reservations on the proposal. Moreover, the expert from the Netherlands noted that the proposal would affect not only the safety-belt component but also the vehicle. The experts from EC and OICA stated that the proposal should be discussed as a full package with the corresponding amendment to UN Regulation No. 17, namely ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/14 (see para. 19 below). GRSP agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its December 2015 session and requested the secretariat to distribute GRSP-57-28 with an official symbol.
