Draft of the new child restraint systems regulation following the 49th session of the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP) and of the 29th meeting of the informal group on child restraints systems (CRS) held in December 2011.

Initial draft of a proposal for an amendment to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (RE3). This document complements (and read in conjunction with) the proposal for a series of addenda to RE3 as described in informal document
GRSP-50-27.

Compendium of decisions supporting the establishment of Phase 2 in the development of the Pedestrian Safety GTR and draft operating principles and terms of reference for the informal group undertaking this work.

Draft of the first progress report from the informal group developing the second phase of the GTR on pedestrian safety, presented for review by the Working Party on Passive Safety.

Submission from Belgium and Germany to solve errors in the current text of the Regulation concerning the anchorage angles (α1 and α2) and the seating reference point (R-point).

Submission from France and Germany further explaining why belt guide devices such as that cited by CLEPA in document GRSP-50-09 cannot be approved as a child restraint system. Document GRSP-50-28 provided results of the Latin NCAP crash tests.

Submission from the Netherlands to more precisely explain the phrase “positively guide the lap strap” to prevent erroneous interpretations of the dynamic test procedure under UN R44.
