17.5. UN GTR No. 9

113. The representative of the United States of America informed AC.3 about phase 2 of the Pedestrian UN GTR. He reported that his administration had also almost completed the development of a costs and benefits analysis that is expected to be publicly available for the May 2016 session of GRSP. He also reminded that his country preferred that the Injury Assessment Reference Values (IARV) remain optional so that Contracting Parties would be in the position to adapt them to their domestic needs on local injury risk curves. The representative of OICA informed AC.3 that at the December 2015 session of GRSP the experts from the Republic of Korea and OICA introduced a proposal of amendments to UN GTR No. 9 to incorporate provisions for active deployable systems in the bonnet area. AC.3 noted that to allow GRSP to develop further this amendment, a proposal of authorization to develop the amendment should be officially submitted by a sponsor country (Republic of Korea) at its June 2016 session.
