Changes agreed within the CRS informal group to the proposal to correct wording and chapter references, clarify test procedures, and introduce new definitions (document GRSP/2017/43).

Proposal to correct the omission of the exemption of non-integral ECRS with a stature range starting at 100 cm or above from the testing of toxicity in Supplement 1 to R129 (document WP.29/2016/106, paragraph 6.3.1.1.). This correction should also be applied to the later documents:

• GRSP /2017/44 Proposal for Supplement 7 to R129,
• GRSP /2017/43 Proposal for Supplement 4 to 01 series of amendments to R129,
• GRSP /2017/42 Proposal for Supplement 3 to 02 series of amendments to R129, and
• GRSP /2017/41 Proposal for 03 series of amendments to R129.

Update on the work to harmonize the specifications of the 3D H-Point Marchine as used in UN Regulations and UN Global Technical Regulations.

The proposal clarifies the test procedure in the amended paragraph 6.1.8 in document GRSP/2017/38 by adding one dimension (175 mm) . This dimension is in line with the dimensions of the fixture from Regulation 16 to check the vehicle safety belt length (Annex 17-Appendix 1, Figure 1) and also in line with document GRSP-61-14/Rev.1 that was adopted at the 61st session.

Presentation on the development of UN R129 and particularly of provisions for Integral, belted Universal or Specific enhanced child restraint systems.

Proposal prepared by the experts of the Informal Working Group (IWG) on Global Technical Regulation No. 9 Phase 2 (GTR9-PH2) and proposes provisions on pedestrian safety and motor vehicles. It represents the final proposal of the Informal Group for Phase 2 of GTR No. 9, based on document GRSP/2014/15 proposing to introduce the Flex PLI lower legform impactor and related test procedures into the GTR on pedestrian safety protection, including the new bumper test area specifications.. As such, the document incorporates also the results of the Task Force Bumper Test Area as well as the comments provided in the informal document of the US from last December’s GRSP (GRSP/2017/3).

Draft definition of the mandate of the HFCV Phase 2 informal group formed to further develop the GTR on HFCV safety.

Proposal to cease new approvals of non-integral group 2 and group 2/3 child restraint systems under UN Regulation No. 44 as of [1 September 2019]. This proposal supersedes the previous document GRSP/2017/20.

Proposal from the GRSP secretariat to correct editorial oversights found in document GRSP/2017/21.

Proposal from the GRSP secretariat to correct editorial oversights found in document GRSP/2017/22:

1. Deletes “one of” from the phrase “one of the positions specified in paragraph 7.7.1.5.”
2. Paragraph 8.3.6. ellipsis (dots) at the end of the paragraph, indicating that the remaining previous text shall be kept, were omitted.
3. Paragraph 1.2: Deletes “and Appendix 5” to align with the text of Supplement 9 to the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 16.
4. Refers to figures 1 to 8, not 1 to 9.
5. Table 1: Deletes “F1” in the table, as this fixture is part of the corresponding ISO Standard but not in UN R16.
6. Appendix 5: Replaces “universal” by “i-size” in the title of Appendix 5, as UN Regulation No. 129 booster seats can be only i-Size or specific.

Amended version of document GRSP/2017/41 for the “Phase 3” amendments (universal belted and specific-to-vehicle belted CRS) prepared by the CRS informal group.

Proposal to amend the transitional provisions in order to explicitly confirm that approvals granted prior to the respective supplements to the 01 and 02 series of amendments and the establishment of the new guidelines on UN Regulation procedures (documents WP.29/2017/107 including Corrigendum 1 and Addendum 1) will continue to be accepted. This amendment thus confirms the understanding that the new procedures apply only to new approvals and do not affect previous approvals.

Proposal to amend the transitional provisions in order to explicitly confirm that approvals granted under the preceding series of amendments and the establishment of the new guidelines on UN Regulation procedures (documents WP.29/2017/107 including Corrigendum 1 and Addendum 1) will continue to be accepted. This amendment thus confirms the understanding that the new procedures apply only to new approvals and do not affect previous approvals.

Updated and amended proposal based on formal document GRSP/2017/39. This proposal requires the checking of non-integral child restraints (e.g., booster seats) for risk of injuries caused by narrow contact with buckle and safety-belt.

CLEPA request for a focused and urgent effort to incorporate all dummies and tools (especially including the child Q dummies integrated into UN R129 testing) into Mutual Resolution 1 which was intended as the repository for specifications of all tools used in WP.29 regulation test procedures.

Presentation in support of the proposal to delete the static test procedure for seat strength (document GRSP-62-12) from UN R80.

Revised proposal, pursuant to GRSP-62 discussions, to clarify that seat belt components such as retractors shall remain functional if damaged during the load-retention test according to Annex 9 of UN R17. Such components have occasionally been damaged during testing such that their functionality has been impaired. In order to ensure adequate occupant safety, this proposal would require all safety-belt components to be included in the test installation and require post-test inspection to confirm the absence of damage.

On 14 November 2017, Korea introduced rear seat-belt reminder requirements into the KMVSS aligned with the 07 series of amendments to UN R16. The requirements become mandatory from 1 September 2019. At the same time, Korea also adopted the FlexPLI test tool for pedestrian protection testing aligned with the draft Amendment 2 to GTR No. 9. Compliance testing with the FlexPLI will start from 1 January 2018 (given that the FlexPLI has been in use under Korea NCAP since 2015).
