| UN R107: STCBC UN R173 task force working draft for a 12 series of amendments |
| Reference Number: STCBC-TF173-06-02 |
|
Initial working draft text to amend UN R107 by inserting a new definition 2.49 for Child Restraint System and adding paragraph 7.7.8.7 to Annex 3 establishing requirements for Child Restraint Systems in vehicles of category M2 and M3. Requirements include fitting pictograms to ISOFIX-seating positions meeting UN R145 and UN R173, fitting pictograms to i-Size-seating positions meeting those same regulations, and prohibiting rearward-facing CRS in rearward-facing passenger seats with appropriate pictograms. Three new pictograms are added to Annex 4. |

| M2/M3 CRS: Effective Seat Belt Webbing Length |
| Reference Number: STCBC-TF173-06-04 |
|
The document addresses how to define and measure effective seat belt webbing length for buses of category M2/M3. It proposes defining effective length by pulling the lap belt at the geometrical midpoint under a 60-degree angle to form an equilateral triangle, where the leg on the buckle side defines 50 percent of pursued effective length for 2-point belts and 25 percent for 3-point belts. Additional webbing for attachment, handling, connection to spool, and spool length must be added based on seat design and geometry. The proposal suggests the definition may work using diagonal belt alone in the ghost position and questions where to include it in UN R173. |
