29. The expert from Spain recalled the objectives of the task force on Safer Transport of Children in Buses and Coaches (TF-STCBC), which had been set in the previous GRSP session (see also informal document GRSP-78-03-Rev.1). She presented first drafts of proposals for amendments to UN Regulations Nos. 145 and 173 (informal documents GRSP-79-03 and GRSP-79-04, respectively), for feedback from GRSP.
30. On the amendments to UN Regulation No. 145, answering a question from the expert of Korea, she explained that in their view there was no need to exclude N2 and N3 vehicles from the scope, even if the use of child restraint systems in these types of vehicles was not common. The expert from the Kingdom of the Netherlands suggested removing the airbag from the pictogram.
31. On the amendments to UN Regulation No. 173, GRSP discussed the convenience of using a gabarit (child restraint fixture) to determine the minimum effective seat-belt length instead of the proposed new procedure.
32. The expert from Spain requested all experts to send her written feedback so that the TF would be in a position to submit working documents for adoption to the next session of GRSP.
