Updated proposal from Spain on behalf of the CRS Technical Services Group to align requirements for deceleration test devices with acceleration ones (making explicit that it is mandatory to match the corridor for each test) and to add dummy criteria and compliance with ISO 17025 to the information required in test reports.

Proposal from Spain on behalf of the CRS Technical Services Group to

• to align paragraph 6.6.3.1. with the 01 series of amendments,
• to align requirements in 7.1.3.1 to test methods in 8.1.2.4.,
• to add tolerances to better define the test method in paragraph 8.1.2.3.,
• to improve the specifications for the measurement of dimensions C and D in Annex 23,
• to align deceleration test requirements with acceleration test provisions (making explicit that it is mandatory to match the corridor for each test, and
• to define the initial acceleration value under paragraph 7.3. against which the maximum deviation restriction is to be applied.

Amendment to the proposals (GRSP/2016/3, GRSP/2016/5, and GRSP/2016/6) to amend the toxicity and flammability declarations via references to EN 71 (European safety standards), taking into account procedures of FMVSS 302. The amendments propose the burning rate values of FMVSS 302 (302.4 inches/102 mm per minute), to harmonize the three proposals with regard to EN standards references, and to incorporate the amendment 1 to EN 71-3 (A1:2014).

Proposal to change the burn-rate in documents GRSP/2016/3, GRSP/2016/5, and GRSP/2016/6 from [250 mm] to the equivalent of the FMVSS 302 specification, i.e., 100 mm.

UN R80, paragraph 7.4.4. specifies that passengers in side-facing seats “shall be safeguarded by a vehicle part (e.g. partition, wall or seat back of a forward-facing seat) forward of the foremost side-facing seat”. Germany has determined that the current text has been misinterpreted with regard to the intended requirement for a safety device that does not break and maintains its capability to retain a passenger’s body in the event of an accident. This proposal clarifies that such any such structure “shall retain its safeguard function during testing”.

Proposal to strip ISOFIX CRS provisions from UN R44 and to cease all new type approvals for ISOFIX integral CRS under UN R44 from [November 2016] in deference to UN R129 on Enhanced CRS.

Draft of a request for authorization to amend GTR 9 to include provisions for deployable safety systems of the outer surface of the vehicle. This proposal originates with the development of technologies such as active hood/bonnet mechanisms that improve pedestrian impact protection. The proposal anticipates submission of a formal amendment for the June 2018 WP.29 session.
