Proposal from the Bumper Test Area Task Force, pursuant to discussions within GRSP, submitted as an alternative to the proposal in document GRSP/2014/31 as amended by document GRSP-56-40, to revise the procedure for determining the bumper test area under the pedestrian safety regulation. This proposal corrects shortcomings in the current definitions which could lead to a narrower test area than intended (leading to less effective pedestrian protection). This proposal includes a “bumper beam” determination method. The proposal also includes a September 2017 transition date in the event that the GRSP determines that the proposal should be treated as a new series of amendments rather than as a Supplement.

Proposal from the Bumper Test Area Task Force, pursuant to discussions within GRSP, to revise the procedure for determining the bumper test area under the pedestrian safety regulation. This proposal corrects shortcomings in the current definitions which could lead to a narrower test area than intended (leading to less effective pedestrian protection). This proposal does not take into account potentially harmful hard structures such as bumper beams that may lie behind the outer contour or front fascia extending beyond the defined bumper corners as consensus within the task force could not be reached. Presented as a Supplement, the proposal includes a September 2017 transition date in case GRSP determines that the changes should be put into a new series of amendments rather than as a supplement.

This is the final version of the amendments to introduce the FlexPLI impactor into the pedestrian safety regulation as published in the report of the June 2014 session of WP.29. This document was prepared for the collection of “final documents” of the GTR 9-Phase 2 informal working group.

Corrections to draft text and revision of entry into force dates to occur on 1 September following IWVTA recommendations. This revised document also incorporates the Korean proposal to amend GTR No. 9 (document GRSP-55-24) and OICA proposal on Annex 5 (document GRSP-55-44).

Proposal to remove the specification of “±0.01 m/sec” for the accuracy of the velocity measurement in Annex 5, Paragraph 3.2.1. This would leave in place the specification to use the measurement procedure if ISO 3784:1976 which specifies an accuracy of ±1 %.

Proposal to amend the draft 01 series of amendments (document WP.29/2014/38 pending for the June 2014 WP.29 session) to bring its “commencement date” and validity-of-approvals provisions into line with the recommendations for the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system (i.e., to set the effective date to 1 September 2018 and confirm the validity of earlier approvals after the introduction of the 01 series of amendments). This revised document also incorporates the Korean proposal to amend GTR No. 9 (document GRSP-55-24) and OICA proposal on Annex 5 (document GRSP-55-44).
