38. The expert from Germany, Chair of the IWG on Rechargeable Energy Storage System (REESS), introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/26 amending ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/11 and proposing a draft UN Regulation on safety requirements with respect to the electric power train of vehicles of categories L with a maximum design speed exceeding 6 km/h. The expert from IMMA proposed some amendments (GRSP-56-01) superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/26. Finally, GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/11 as amended by Annex VI to the session report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their June 2015 sessions as a new draft UN Regulation on electric vehicles of category L.
39. The expert from Germany, Chair of the IWG on Rechargeable Energy Storage System (REESS) made a presentation (GRSP-55-29) to introduce ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/11, aimed at proposing a draft UN Regulation on safety requirements with respect to the electric power train of vehicles of categories L1 with a maximum design speed exceeding 6 km/h. The expert from IMMA proposed some amendments (GRSP-55-07) to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/11. The majority of the Contracting Parties (Australia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom) rejected the introduction of additional provisions (para. 12 of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/11) in the text of the draft UN Regulation, to allow Contracting Parties to continue requiring the proof of compliance for post-crash requirements as proposed by the expert from Japan. GRSP referred GRSP-55-25-Rev.1 back to the IWG (including GRSP-55-22 proposed by the expert from Japan) and agreed to resume consideration of this agenda item at its December 2014 session, on the basis of an updated proposal submitted by the IWG. Finally, GRSP agreed to seek consent from WP.29 at its June 2014 session to extend the mandate of the IWG until June 2015.
74. The Chair of GRSP presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2015/69. The representative of Germany noted that the document contained square brackets. The World Forum agreed that they should be removed as follows and then be submitted to AC.1 for voting:
75. Through the document, replace “Rechargeable [Electrical] Energy Storage System” to read "Rechargeable Electrical Energy Storage System ".

8. The expert from EC introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30, submitted by the Task Force on Bumper Test Area (TF-BTA), a subgroup of the Informal Working Group on global technical regulation No. 9 – Phase 2, and proposing an amendment to the provisions of the bumper test. He explained that the current provisions allow the area to be narrower than intended in the provisions of the UN GTR. He added that ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17 was proposing a new method by introducing a practical determination of angle surfaces, to be tested with the FlexPLI, by using a corner gauge. Moreover, he explained that ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30 was proposing the introduction of the definition of rigid bumper beam in the test area in addition to the above-mentioned new test method. He finally informed GRSP that a test report on research conducted by EC on this issue was available. The expert from Japan gave a presentation (GRSP-56-03) to support ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17. The expert from Korea presented GRSP-56-20 supporting ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30. The expert from OICA introduced GRSP-56-30, supporting the new method as proposed by ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17, because the test is less sensitive to specific design features and it could be performed without disassembling parts. Moreover, GRSP discussed GRSP-56-38 and GRSP-56-39, superseding respectively ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30.

Proposal for Supplement 10 to the 04 series of amendments to Regulation No. 44
(Spain)
Description
|
Text prepared by the UN R44 Technical Services Group to clarify the regulation, including test failure parameters, CRS displacement or locking systems, seat installation color coding systems, and use of load limiting devices. The test procedure would be modified, including an increase in the applied load to exceed the maximum allowed resistance to permit sliding of the strap through the quick adjuster and through rigid parts, increased tolerances related thereto, deletion of the option for shorter shift (deemed unnecessary since it is a test on the strap, not on the complete component), and modification of drawings to improve consistency with the text.

56th GRSP session (9-12
Dec 2014)
22. Referring to the discussion under agenda item 7 (see para. 16), the expert from the Netherlands introduced GRSP-56-07, proposing a possible amendment to cover the issue of occupant displacement due to the presence of safety-belt load limiters installed on seats other than front seats. He announced the intention to submit a new proposal on this subject for the May 2015 session of GRSP.
13. The expert from CLEPA introduced a presentation (GRSP-57-25) to explain ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/16 and GRSP-57-03 (superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/4) aimed at clarifying the provisions for dynamic testing of rear seat system and advanced restraint system approval. The expert from Japan argued that the proposal was not assessing the air-bag performance through UN Regulation No. 94 because it was addressing other occupants than those seating in lateral frontal positions. The expert from France clarified that the proposal was addressing the concept of restraint systems to other seating positions than front outboard positions. The expert from EC suggested aligning the proposed provisions with those of UN Regulation No. 21, concerning the speed of impact of seating position protected by an air-bag. Accordingly, the expert from CLEPA introduced GRSP-57-28 incorporating the comments received during the discussion. The experts from France and Japan raised study reservations on the proposal. Moreover, the expert from the Netherlands noted that the proposal would affect not only the safety-belt component but also the vehicle. The experts from EC and OICA stated that the proposal should be discussed as a full package with the corresponding amendment to UN Regulation No. 17, namely ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/14 (see para. 19 below). GRSP agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its December 2015 session and requested the secretariat to distribute GRSP-57-28 with an official symbol.
19. Referring to the discussion held under agenda item 7 (see para. 13 above), the expert from the Netherlands introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/14, calling for increased energy absorption capabilities on the rear part of seat backs, taking into account the increased forward displacement of the rear occupants restrained by new safety-belts equipped with improved load limiter devices. However, he proposed to defer the discussion at the December 2015 session of GRSP, since the proposal would involve a parallel amendment to UN Regulation No. 16 to extend contact requirements of occupants against rear seats backs. GRSP agreed to resume discussion at its next session on the basis of a new proposal as an outcome of an exchange of views among the experts from the Netherlands, CLEPA, OICA and other interested parties.

33. The expert from France, Chair of the IWG on Enhanced Child Restraint Systems (ECRS), introduced: (i) a presentation to show the main content of the draft 01 series of amendments incorporating provisions for booster seats (GRSP-56-28), (ii) the draft proposal (GRSP-56-08 superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/28) and (iii) the consolidated version of the UN Regulation, incorporating the proposed amendments (GRSP-56-09). The expert from OICA proposed to reduce the height of the measuring device, to evaluate a universal booster cushion, from 910 mm to 830 mm. He explained that this last value would be less restrictive for vehicle design. The expert from EC informed GRSP that a research test report on child abdominal injuries would be published soon. Accordingly, he raised a study reservation to consider the above-mentioned outcome of research and to complete the assessment of GRSP-56-08. GRSP agreed to resume discussion at its May 2015 session to consider and adopt, as a whole, draft 01 series of amendments and the parallel amendments to UN Regulation No. 16 (see para. 17). Finally, the secretariat was requested to distribute GRSP-56-08 with an official symbol at the next GRSP session.
29. The expert from France, Chair of the IWG on Enhanced Child Restraint Systems (ECRS), introduced a presentation (GRSP-57-22) to show the work progress of the IWG and the main content of draft 01 series of amendments incorporating provisions for booster seats (GRSP-57-20 and GRSP-57-21 superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/9). He added that for Phase II of the UN Regulation there were still some pending issues such as safety for children in cars on booster cushions without a backrest and geometric definition of the test fixture (gabarit) for booster seats with an integrated backrest. The expert from Germany suggested only the inclusion of booster cushions with backrests in UN Regulation No. 129, while provisions for other kind of boosters should remain for the time being in UN Regulation No. 44 pending a whole revision of this last UN Regulation. The expert from EC endorsed the work of the IWG and he proposed further promotion of the of i-size concept to allow the installation of three ECRS on the same row seat in larger family cars. GRSP agreed to resume discussion at its December 2015 session on this subject awaiting the outcome of the IWG and requested to distribute GRSP-57-20 with an official symbol.

56th GRSP session (9-12
Dec 2014)
14. GRSP noted the decision taken by the World Forum during the June 2014 session to refer back to GRSP ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/34 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1110, para. 52) to further consider the minimum number of ISOFIX anchorages. The expert from OICA introduced GRSP-56-11-Rev.1, amending ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/34, superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/18 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2013/15 and addressing the widest range of possible vehicle types and configurations. GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/34 as amended by Annex II to the session report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their June 2015 sessions, as draft Supplement 6 to the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 14.
52. The World Forum agreed to refer ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/34 (agenda item 4.6.1) back to GRSP for further consideration.
The decision to postpone was due to a European Commission identification of a possible inconsistency in text with regard to paragraph 5.3.8.2.

Uniform Provisions Concerning the Approval of Vehicles with regard to Safety-belt Anchorages, ISOFIX Anchorages Systems and ISOFIX Top Tether Anchorages
|
In June 2014, WP.29 returned a proposal (document WP.29/2014/34) to introduce provisions for ISOFIX positions in convertibles and vehicles with one seating position per row due to concerns over clarity. Given the complexity of this topic, OICA has decided to address specific elements separately. This proposal addresses the use of top tethers in child restraint systems and proposes to retain the "i-size" term and definition endorsed by GRSP.

Proposal for Supplement 1 and for Supplement 1 to the 01 series of amendments to the UN Regulation on Pole Side Impact
(OICA)
Description
|
The scope of the new Global Technical Regulation on Pole Side Impact includes vehicles of category N1 (limited to GVM < 3.5 t) and vehicles of category M1 (without mass limit). However, the vehicle fleet includes a small number of M1 vehicles with a GVW > 3.5t which are based on vehicles of category N2, N3, M2 or M3. Therefore, OICA proposes to limit the scope of the GTR to both M1 and N1 vehicles under 3.5 t maximum vehicle mass in order to alleviate burdens on manufacturers producing M1 variants based on N2, N3, M2, or M3 vehicles.

37. The expert from France, Chair of the Frontal Impact IWG, introduced the latest draft amendments of his group (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/23) to the draft UN Regulation (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/10) on frontal impact with focus on the restraint system, with a thorax compression criterion (ThCC) of 42 mm. He also introduced GRSP-56-36, showing three possible solutions to implement a ThCC of 34 mm for the Hybrid III fifth percentile female dummy as requested by the expert from Japan. The expert from OICA introduced GRSP-56-13-Rev.1 endorsing 42 mm criterion because more balanced to protect both young and elderly people. He added that if a decision would be taken by GRSP to endorse 34 mm, this should be introduced at a later stage as a new series of amendments. The expert from Japan introduced GRSP-56-23-Rev.2 aimed at supporting a ThCC of 34 mm and stated that this value was evidence based for its feasibility. The expert from Sweden stated that she was not in the position to support one of the two values. The expert from Italy was in favour of 42 mm because the ThCC of 34 mm criterion needed further investigation. The expert from EU announced that a test programme (sponsored by the European Union) would start at the beginning of 2015 to investigate on this issue. GRSP agreed to resume discussion at its May 2015 session on the basis of revised proposals to be submitted by the expert from France (including GRSP-56-13-Rev.1 and GRSP-56-23-Rev.2).
37. The expert from France, Chair of the FI IWG, introduced the status report of the group (GRSP-55-43) as well as the latest amendments (GRSP-55-20-Rev.1) to the official proposal (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/10) of a new UN Regulation on frontal impact with focus on the restraint system. He added that the IWG focused on two possible scenarios for the threshold of front passenger’s thorax compression criteria:
(a) thorax compression criteria (Thcc) of ≤ 34 mm (considering the injury risk curve for the elderly 5th percentile female);
(b) Thcc ≤ 42 mm (considering the injury risk curve for the 5th percentile female).
38. He asked GRSP for guidance on choosing the scenario to be addressed by the draft UN Regulation. The expert from EC suggested that the first scenario complemented by an additional test (e.g. sled test) with a 95th percentile male dummy. However, the expert from France reminded GRSP that the proposal aimed to reduce the number of tests. The expert from OICA presented a recommendation (GRSP-55-42) for a Thcc ≤ 42 mm to address the 5th percentile female because a Thcc of ≤ 34 mm would only address a limited percentage of the population and because the test tool variations need to be taken into account. He remarked that the higher injury risk for elderly occupants would be considered by a reduced Thcc threshold of 42 mm for the 50th percentile male dummy Hybrid III as was also proposed for UN Regulation No. 94. GRSP finally agreed to resume consideration of this agenda item at its December 2014 session and requested its experts to provide clear guidance on the two above-mentioned scenarios. The secretariat was requested to distribute GRSP-55-20-Rev.1 with an official symbol at the next session of GRSP.
33. The expert from France, Chair of the Frontal Impact IWG, introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/11 as the final draft UN Regulation on frontal impact with focus on the restraint system, with a thorax compression criterion (ThCC) of 42 mm. He also introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/12, amended by GRSP-57-01 to require ThCC limit at 34 mm in the 01 series of amendments to the UN Regulation. The expert from Japan suggested also aligning the provisions of the draft UN Regulation with the new Camera-Monitor Systems provisions of UN Regulation No. 46 (see para. 27 above). GRSP noted also the lack of availability of drawings and specification of the 5th percentile female dummy and agreed to insert a footnote as a reminder to interested parties to provide the above mentioned specifications in time for adoption of the draft UN Regulation by WP.29 and AC.1. GRSP considered GRSP-57-29-Rev.1, amending ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/11 and incorporating all the comments received during the discussion (including GRSP-57-02). Finally, GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/11 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/12, both as amended by Annex V to this report. The secretariat was requested to submit for consideration and vote to WP.29 and AC.1 at their November 2015 sessions:
(i) ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/11 as new draft UN Regulation on frontal impact with focus on the restraint system and
(ii) ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/12 as 01 series of amendments to the new UN Regulation.
The expert from France introduced GRSP-57-31, for information only, to provide further justification of the biomechanical chest deflection thresholds introduced in the draft UN Regulation.

17. The expert from OICA introduced GRSP-56-14, complemented by GRSP-56-16 reproducing a consolidated text of the amendments proposed [in document GRSP-56-14]. He explained that the proposal was needed to verify which seating positions would allow the installation of the universal booster child restraint system (CRS) proposed by the draft 01 series of amendments to the UN Regulation No. 129 (Enhanced Child Restraint Systems) (see para. 33 below). He clarified that the proposal was aimed at introducing physical [testing], computer simulation or any other means [acceptable to a type-approval authority] to assess [compliance with the child-restraint fixture installation requirements]. The expert from CLEPA introduced GRSP-56-35 to clarify the dimensions of ISOFIX anchorages of the proposed fixture. The expert from OICA argued that GRSP-56-35 could lead to misinterpretation since UN Regulation No. 16 is not dealing with ISOFIX anchorage provisions. The expert from EC noted that the required information on ISOFIX installation (see Annex 17, Appendix 3, tables 1-3 of the UN Regulation No. 16) could be misleading for consumers. The expert from France clarified that the introduction of booster cushion was aimed at improving comfort rather than safety and that the IWG designed provisions for a universal system of this type of CRS as per other CRS. GRSP agreed to refer GRSP-56-14, GRSP-56-16 and GRSP-56-35 to the IWG on CRS for further discussion and agreed to resume consideration on this subject at its May 2015 session.

8. The expert from EC introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30, submitted by the Task Force on Bumper Test Area (TF-BTA), a subgroup of the Informal Working Group on global technical regulation No. 9 – Phase 2, and proposing an amendment to the provisions of the bumper test. He explained that the current provisions allow the area to be narrower than intended in the provisions of the UN GTR. He added that ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17 was proposing a new method by introducing a practical determination of angle surfaces, to be tested with the FlexPLI, by using a corner gauge. Moreover, he explained that ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30 was proposing the introduction of the definition of rigid bumper beam in the test area in addition to the above-mentioned new test method. He finally informed GRSP that a test report on research conducted by EC on this issue was available. The expert from Japan gave a presentation (GRSP-56-03) to support ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17. The expert from Korea presented GRSP-56-20 supporting ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30. The expert from OICA introduced GRSP-56-30, supporting the new method as proposed by ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17, because the test is less sensitive to specific design features and it could be performed without disassembling parts. Moreover, GRSP discussed GRSP-56-38 and GRSP-56-39, superseding respectively ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30.

GRSP/2015/12 | Draft 01 series of amendments to the draft new Regulation on frontal collision with focus on the restraint system
Related discussions
56th GRSP session (9-12
Dec 2014)
37. The expert from France, Chair of the Frontal Impact IWG, introduced the latest draft amendments of his group (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/23) to the draft UN Regulation (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/10) on frontal impact with focus on the restraint system, with a thorax compression criterion (ThCC) of 42 mm. He also introduced GRSP-56-36, showing three possible solutions to implement a ThCC of 34 mm for the Hybrid III fifth percentile female dummy as requested by the expert from Japan. The expert from OICA introduced GRSP-56-13-Rev.1 endorsing 42 mm criterion because more balanced to protect both young and elderly people. He added that if a decision would be taken by GRSP to endorse 34 mm, this should be introduced at a later stage as a new series of amendments. The expert from Japan introduced GRSP-56-23-Rev.2 aimed at supporting a ThCC of 34 mm and stated that this value was evidence based for its feasibility. The expert from Sweden stated that she was not in the position to support one of the two values. The expert from Italy was in favour of 42 mm because the ThCC of 34 mm criterion needed further investigation. The expert from EU announced that a test programme (sponsored by the European Union) would start at the beginning of 2015 to investigate on this issue. GRSP agreed to resume discussion at its May 2015 session on the basis of revised proposals to be submitted by the expert from France (including GRSP-56-13-Rev.1 and GRSP-56-23-Rev.2).
33. The expert from France, Chair of the Frontal Impact IWG, introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/11 as the final draft UN Regulation on frontal impact with focus on the restraint system, with a thorax compression criterion (ThCC) of 42 mm. He also introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/12, amended by GRSP-57-01 to require ThCC limit at 34 mm in the 01 series of amendments to the UN Regulation. The expert from Japan suggested also aligning the provisions of the draft UN Regulation with the new Camera-Monitor Systems provisions of UN Regulation No. 46 (see para. 27 above). GRSP noted also the lack of availability of drawings and specification of the 5th percentile female dummy and agreed to insert a footnote as a reminder to interested parties to provide the above mentioned specifications in time for adoption of the draft UN Regulation by WP.29 and AC.1. GRSP considered GRSP-57-29-Rev.1, amending ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/11 and incorporating all the comments received during the discussion (including GRSP-57-02). Finally, GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/11 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/12, both as amended by Annex V to this report. The secretariat was requested to submit for consideration and vote to WP.29 and AC.1 at their November 2015 sessions:
(i) ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/11 as new draft UN Regulation on frontal impact with focus on the restraint system and
(ii) ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/12 as 01 series of amendments to the new UN Regulation.
The expert from France introduced GRSP-57-31, for information only, to provide further justification of the biomechanical chest deflection thresholds introduced in the draft UN Regulation.

49. GRSP considered and adopted GRSP-56-25 to correct information provided by a label permanently affixed on hydrogen containers, as reproduced in Annex VIII to the session report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their June 2015 sessions, as draft Supplement 1 to the new UN Regulation on hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles (HFCV).
71(bis). The representative of OICA supported the adoption of the new draft UN Regulation on hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles as submitted to WP.29 and AC.1. He pointed out that this draft also contains post-crash requirements, because it fully transposes UN GTR No. 13 into the 1958 Agreement framework. He added that the normal procedure would have been to insert these provisions in the relevant UN Regulations on frontal and lateral collision, such as UN Regulations Nos. 94 or 95, similar to the approach used for UN Regulation No. 100 (Safety of battery electric vehicles). Therefore, he suggested that GRSP should revise, in a further step, the UN Regulation focusing on safety requirements for the construction and use of HFCV vehicles, while the post-crash requirements would be transferred to the relevant post-crash Regulations under the 1958 Agreement. WP.29 endorsed this approach.

The expert from OICA proposed to reduce the height of the measuring device, to evaluate a universal booster cushion, from 910 mm to 830 mm. He explained that this last value would be less restrictive for vehicle design. The expert from EC informed GRSP that a research test report on child abdominal injuries would be published soon. Accordingly, he raised a study reservation to consider the above-mentioned outcome of research and to complete the assessment of GRSP-56-08. GRSP agreed to resume discussion at its May 2015 session to consider and adopt, as a whole, draft 01 series of amendments and the parallel amendments to UN Regulation No. 16 (see para. 17).

The expert from EC introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30, submitted by the Task Force on Bumper Test Area (TF-BTA), a subgroup of the Informal Working Group on global technical regulation No. 9 – Phase 2, and proposing an amendment to the provisions of the bumper test. He explained that the current provisions allow the area to be narrower than intended in the provisions of the UN GTR. He added that ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17 was proposing a new method by introducing a practical determination of angle surfaces, to be tested with the FlexPLI, by using a corner gauge. Moreover, he explained that ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30 was proposing the introduction of the definition of rigid bumper beam in the test area in addition to the above-mentioned new test method. He finally informed GRSP that a test report on research conducted by EC on this issue was available. The expert from Japan gave a presentation (GRSP-56-03) to support ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17. The expert from Korea presented GRSP-56-20 supporting ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30. The expert from OICA introduced GRSP-56-30, supporting the new method as proposed by ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17, because the test is less sensitive to specific design features and it could be performed without disassembling parts. Moreover, GRSP discussed GRSP-56-38 and GRSP-56-39, superseding respectively ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30.

17. The expert from OICA introduced GRSP-56-14, complemented by GRSP-56-16 reproducing a consolidated text of the amendments proposed [in document GRSP-56-14]. He explained that the proposal was needed to verify which seating positions would allow the installation of the universal booster child restraint system (CRS) proposed by the draft 01 series of amendments to the UN Regulation No. 129 (Enhanced Child Restraint Systems) (see para. 33 below). He clarified that the proposal was aimed at introducing physical [testing], computer simulation or any other means [acceptable to a type-approval authority] to assess [compliance with the child-restraint fixture installation requirements]. The expert from CLEPA introduced GRSP-56-35 to clarify the dimensions of ISOFIX anchorages of the proposed fixture. The expert from OICA argued that GRSP-56-35 could lead to misinterpretation since UN Regulation No. 16 is not dealing with ISOFIX anchorage provisions. The expert from EC noted that the required information on ISOFIX installation (see Annex 17, Appendix 3, tables 1-3 of the UN Regulation No. 16) could be misleading for consumers. The expert from France clarified that the introduction of booster cushion was aimed at improving comfort rather than safety and that the IWG designed provisions for a universal system of this type of CRS as per other CRS. GRSP agreed to refer GRSP-56-14, GRSP-56-16 and GRSP-56-35 to the IWG on CRS for further discussion and agreed to resume consideration on this subject at its May 2015 session.

37. The expert from France, Chair of the Frontal Impact IWG, introduced the latest draft amendments of his group (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/23) to the draft UN Regulation (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/10) on frontal impact with focus on the restraint system, with a thorax compression criterion (ThCC) of 42 mm. He also introduced GRSP-56-36, showing three possible solutions to implement a ThCC of 34 mm for the Hybrid III fifth percentile female dummy as requested by the expert from Japan. The expert from OICA introduced GRSP-56-13-Rev.1 endorsing 42 mm criterion because more balanced to protect both young and elderly people. He added that if a decision would be taken by GRSP to endorse 34 mm, this should be introduced at a later stage as a new series of amendments. The expert from Japan introduced GRSP-56-23-Rev.2 aimed at supporting a ThCC of 34 mm and stated that this value was evidence based for its feasibility. The expert from Sweden stated that she was not in the position to support one of the two values. The expert from Italy was in favour of 42 mm because the ThCC of 34 mm criterion needed further investigation. The expert from EU announced that a test programme (sponsored by the European Union) would start at the beginning of 2015 to investigate on this issue. GRSP agreed to resume discussion at its May 2015 session on the basis of revised proposals to be submitted by the expert from France (including GRSP-56-13-Rev.1 and GRSP-56-23-Rev.2).

Proposal to amend the draft amendment to GTR No. 9 on the bumper test area
(EC)
Description
|
Proposal from the Bumper Test Area Task Force 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.

8. The expert from EC introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30, submitted by the Task Force on Bumper Test Area (TF-BTA), a subgroup of the Informal Working Group on global technical regulation No. 9 – Phase 2, and proposing an amendment to the provisions of the bumper test. He explained that the current provisions allow the area to be narrower than intended in the provisions of the UN GTR. He added that ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17 was proposing a new method by introducing a practical determination of angle surfaces, to be tested with the FlexPLI, by using a corner gauge. Moreover, he explained that ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30 was proposing the introduction of the definition of rigid bumper beam in the test area in addition to the above-mentioned new test method. He finally informed GRSP that a test report on research conducted by EC on this issue was available. The expert from Japan gave a presentation (GRSP-56-03) to support ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17. The expert from Korea presented GRSP-56-20 supporting ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30. The expert from OICA introduced GRSP-56-30, supporting the new method as proposed by ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17, because the test is less sensitive to specific design features and it could be performed without disassembling parts. Moreover, GRSP discussed GRSP-56-38 and GRSP-56-39, superseding respectively ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30.
9. GRSP endorsed GRSP-56-39, but did not support GRSP-56-38. The secretariat was requested to distribute GRSP-56-39 with an official symbol for consideration at its May 2015 session. It was agreed that this proposal would be discussed further by the Contracting Parties under the 1998 Agreement and by GRSP at its next session as a full package with: (i) an updated draft proposal of Phase 2 of the UN GTR (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/15) and (ii) an updated final report of the IWG (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/16).
5. The expert from Germany, on behalf of the Chair of the IWG, informed GRSP that the group had met on 24 November 2017. As a result of this meeting, he was able to introduce the consolidated text of draft Amendment 2 to UN GTR No. 9 (GRSP-62-15-Rev.1), incorporating: (a) the flexible pedestrian legform impactor (FlexPLI) (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/15), (b) the new bumper test area (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/2) and the removal of the study reservation on the Injury Assessment Values (IARVs) (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2017/3). He also introduced the progress report of the IWG (GRSP-62-16) superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/16. GRSP was not yet in the position to adopt the proposal and requested the secretariat to distribute GRSP-62-15-Rev.1 and GRSP-62-16 with official symbols for final review at its May 2018 session. Moreover, GRSP requested the IWG to draft Addendum 3 to Mutual Resolution No. 1 of the 1958 and the 1998 Agreements to provide drawings and technical specifications of the FlexPLI. GRSP also requested the IWG to liaise with the FlexPLI manufacturer to have free availability of the above-mentioned technical information. Finally, GRSP agreed to seek endorsement from WP.29 and the Executive Committee of the 1998 Agreement (AC.3) at their March 2018 sessions to extend the mandate of the IWG by one year.

The expert from Korea presented GRSP-56-20 supporting ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30. The expert from OICA introduced GRSP-56-30, supporting the new method as proposed by ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17, because the test is less sensitive to specific design features and it could be performed without disassembling parts. Moreover, GRSP discussed GRSP-56-38 and GRSP-56-39, superseding respectively ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/17 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/30.
9. GRSP endorsed GRSP-56-39, but did not support GRSP-56-38. The secretariat was requested to distribute GRSP-56-39 with an official symbol for consideration at its May 2015 session.

6. The expert from EC introduced GRSP-57-15-Rev.1, superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/2, and proposing the introduction of the definition of rigid bumper beam in the test area in addition to the proposed bumper test method with the flexible pedestrian legform impactor (FlexPLI). The expert from OICA introduced GRSP-57-12, explaining that the new definition of the test area leads to test bumper surfaces at an angle greater than the justified 30°. He added that this might result in occurrence of total and relative rotation of the leg as well as sliding along the surface and produce non-repeatable data. The expert from the United States of America requested a study reservation on this proposal based on the above concern regarding the test tool’s repeatability at an impact angle of 30 degrees or higher. She announced that results of this research would be available at the December 2015 session of GRSP. The expert from Japan proposed to share data from his country to be included in the cost benefit analysis. GRSP agreed to resume discussion on this subject and on the pending issues of the proposal of amendments to the UN GTR (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/15, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/16 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/2) at its December 2015 session.
