27. GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/25 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/31, both not amended, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/32 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/28, both as amended by Annex IV [of the session report], and GRSP-50-14 as reproduced in Annex IV [of the session report]. The secretariat was requested to submit all the proposals to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their June 2012 session as draft Supplement 5 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 44.

28. GRSP did not support ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/26, that matched the corresponding proposal of amendments to UN Regulation No. 16 (see para. 22 above) and postponed discussions on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/27 awaiting a revised wording of paragraph 6.1.5. Finally, the expert from Spain withdrew ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/29 and introduced GRSP-50-16, superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/30. The secretariat was requested to distribute GRSP-50-16 with an official symbol for consideration at its May 2012 session.

29. The expert from CLEPA introduced GRSP-50-08 on inflatable CRS, to provide information on this system sold in the European market and [his doubtful opinion on its compliance] with UN Regulation No. 44. He showed a video presentation (GRSP-50-25) on the risks (i.e. submarining of CRS occupants) introduced by the system. The expert from the Czech Republic argued (GRSP-50-21) that his administration had been granting successful type approvals to inflatable CRS since 2008. Accordingly, the expert from the Netherlands made a proposal (GRSP-50-33-Rev.1) to prevent different interpretations of the lap belt position during dynamic test of CRS secured by adult safety belts, such as inflatable CRS. GRSP agreed to resume consideration on this subject at its May 2012 session and requested the secretariat to distribute GRSP-50-33-Rev.1 with an official symbol.

30. The expert from CLEPA provided further information to GRSP (GRSP-50-09 and GRSP-50-25) on the so called belt guide device and test results of this system, as a followup of the May 2011 session of GRSP (see ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/49, para. 28). GRSP noted that the Hungarian administration granted a type approval to this device according to Regulation No. 44. However, it was also noted that the device was banned in several countries. The expert from Hungary informed GRSP that his administration had started an action to withdraw the approval but that it was incomplete due to a legal challenge by the manufacturer. The guidance provided in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1059 (resolving interpretation issues and requirements for the Technical Services in the framework of the 1958 Agreement) was noted and GRSP agreed that it could offer clarity regarding the technical requirements associated with a particular UN Regulation to assist in disputes among technical services of Contracting Parties to the Agreement.

Concerning the belt guide device, GRSP agreed on the principle (GRSP-50-34) that a guide strap was meant as a part of CRS and therefore could not be individually approved as a CRS under UN Regulation No. 44. Moreover, GRSP expressed concerns on the safety of this device. Finally, GRSP agreed to continue discussion on this matter on the basis of information on possible actions taken by competent Type Approval Authority of Contracting Parties to the Agreement on this issue.

38. GRSP considered the latest revision of the draft UN Regulation proposed by the informal working group on CRS (GRSP-50-22-Rev.1 superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/21 and GRSP-50-18).

39. GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/21, as amended by Annex VI [of the session report]. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal as a new draft UN Regulation for consideration and vote to WP.29 and AC.1 at their June 2012 sessions, as a package together with the corresponding amendments to UN Regulation Nos. 14 and 16 (see paragraphs 20 and 23).

40. Finally, GRSP noted that the secretariat would make publicly available prior to the June 2012 session of WP.29, the full set of data of Q dummies, pending a disclaimer to be agreed upon with the dummy manufacturer. Referring to the next meeting of the informal working group, scheduled on 1 February 2012, GRSP recommended that the informal working group focus efforts on examining these dummy data and solicited the participation of experts keen on this matter.

31. The Chair of the informal working group on Frontal collision introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/24 through a presentation (GRSP-50-01) on the new terms of reference of the informal working group. GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/24 as reproduced in Annex V [of the session report] and sought the consent of WP.29 at its March 2012 session.

32. GRSP noted GRSP-50-03 tabled by the expert from the Netherlands, introducing test requirements for vehicles equipped with automatically activated door locking systems. The document received some comments and GRSP agreed to resume discussion on this matter on the basis of a revised proposal prepared by the expert from the Netherlands.

33. The expert from FIA Foundation informed GRSP on the results of the second Latin American New Car Assessment Programme (LANCAP) recently held. He informed that as a conclusion of the second phase of the programme, LANCAP was promoting the mandatory type approval of vehicles according to UN Regulation No. 94 as well as the mandatory use of type approved CRS to governments of Latin American countries.

38. GRSP considered the latest revision of the draft UN Regulation proposed by the informal working group on CRS (GRSP-50-22-Rev.1 superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/21 and GRSP-50-18).

18. GRSP noted GRSP-50-05-Rev.1, tabled by the experts from Belgium and Germany to solve errors in the current text of the Regulation concerning the anchorage angles (α1 and α2) and the seating reference point (R-point). GRSP noted that the proposal had design implication and agreed to continue discussion at its May 2012 session. The secretariat was requested to distribute GRSP-50-05-Rev.1 with an official symbol.

19. The expert from Spain introduced a proposal (GRSP-50-17) to allow the installation of safety-belt anchorages whose effective upper anchorage point is changing to fit smaller occupants such as children transported on buses and coaches. The expert from Germany argued that such systems were already present on the market and some of these were introducing risks for occupants by assuming a dangerous configuration (GRSP-50-23). GRSP agreed to resume consideration on this subject at its May 2012 session, on the basis of a revised proposal jointly prepared by the experts from Germany, Netherlands and Spain. GRSP also agreed to keep GRSP-50-23 as a reference on the agenda of its next session.

20. The expert from France, Chair of the informal working group on Child Restraints Systems (CRS), introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/22 prepared by his group to align UN Regulation No. 14 with the provisions of draft Regulation on child restraint systems (CRS). GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/22, not amended. The secretariat was requested to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their June 2012 sessions for the time being as draft [Supplement 4 to the 07 series of amendments]. GRSP also agreed to recommend its adoption to WP.29 and AC.1 as a full package with the draft UN Regulation on CRS (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/21) and the corresponding amendment to UN Regulation No. 16 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/23).

21. The expert from the Netherlands introduced GRSP-50-02 in order to provide an installation procedure for CRS that takes into account the position of the seat in front of that to be tested. The expert from OICA raised a study reservation on the proposal. Finally, GRSP agreed to resume consideration on this matter at its May 2012 session on the basis of a revised proposal jointly prepared by the experts from the Netherlands and OICA.

22. The expert from Spain introduced GRSP-50-15, to allow the installation of universal ISOFIX rearward facing child restraint systems as defined in UN Regulation No. 44. GRSP did not support GRSP-50-15 because of conflicts with the text of the draft UN Regulation on CRS and agreed to remove this matter from the agenda of its May 2012 session.

23. The Chair of the informal working group on CRS, introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/23 prepared by his group to match the provisions of UN Regulation No. 16 with those of draft UN Regulation on CRS.
