7. Regulation No. 14 (Safety-belt anchorages)
GRSP/2017/23 | Proposal for 09 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 14 Proposal to clarify the text of UN R14. The current text has produced differing interpretations among Technical Services with regard to which requirements apply to central seating positions in rear rows of category M<sub>1</sub> and N<sub>1</sub> vehicles and the minimum distance between two effective lower belt anchorages (L1 and L2). The proposed amendments clarify that a reduced minimum distance of 240 mm is only allowed in the case where there is only one central seating position (i.e. in a row of 3 seating positions). Rear seat rows with an even number of seats always shall have a distance of at least 350 mm. Given that it entails new requirements, the proposal is presented as a new series of amendments with transitional provisions (proposed through 2025).

8. Regulation No. 16 (Safety-belts)
GRSP/2016/13 | Proposal for 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 16 Proposal to insert provisions for vehicles equipped with manual airbag deactivation devices, especially to ensure that vehicles meet performance requirements regardless of the airbag activation setting and to specific requirements for airbag status reminders and telltales.
GRSP/2017/21 | Proposal for Corrigendum 1 to Supplement 9 to the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 16 Proposal to correct Table 1 by deleting "F1" (this fixture is part of a corresponding ISO Standard but not in UN R16) and to replace "universal" by "i-Size" in the title of Appendix 5, as UN R129 booster seats can be only i-Size or specific.
GRSP/2017/22 | Proposal for Corrigendum 1 to Supplement 1 to the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 16 Proposal to correct paragraph 1.2. by deleting "and Appendix 5" in order to align with the text of Supplement 9 to the 06 series of amendments to UN R16, to correct Table 1 by deleting "F1" (this fixture is part of a corresponding ISO standard not found in UN R16), and to correct Appendix 5 by replacing "universal" with "i-Size" (UN R129 booster seats can be only i-Size or specific).
GRSP/2017/24 | Proposal for Supplement 3 to the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 16 Proposal to clarify that the second level warning requirement in the 02 series of amendments to the UN R16 is dependent upon the needs of each seating position. A strict reading of paragraph 2.45. would require a second-level warning in the event of any unfastened seat-belt in a front or rear position. This proposal would clarify that the second-level warning is required depending on the individual position requirement (e.g., based on detection that a position is occupied).
GRSP-62-06/Rev.2 | UN R16: Proposal for Corrigendum 1 to Supplement 9 to the 06 series of amendments Proposal from the GRSP secretariat to correct editorial oversights found in document GRSP/2017/21.
GRSP-62-07/Rev.1 | UN R16: Proposal for Corrigendum 1 to Supplement 1 to the 07 series of amendments Proposal from the GRSP secretariat to correct editorial oversights found in document GRSP/2017/22: <ol><li>Deletes “one of” from the phrase "one of the positions specified in paragraph 7.7.1.5."</li><li>Paragraph 8.3.6. ellipsis (dots) at the end of the paragraph, indicating that the remaining previous text shall be kept, were omitted.</li><li>Paragraph 1.2: Deletes "and Appendix 5" to align with the text of Supplement 9 to the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 16.</li><li>Refers to figures 1 to 8, not 1 to 9.</li><li>Table 1: Deletes "F1" in the table, as this fixture is part of the corresponding ISO Standard but not in UN R16.</li><li>Appendix 5: Replaces "universal" by "i-size" in the title of Appendix 5, as UN Regulation No. 129 booster seats can be only i-Size or specific.</li></ol>
GRSP-62-08 | UN R16: Proposal for Corrigendum 1 to Supplement 10 to the 06 series of amendments and Corrigendum 1 to Supplement 2 to the 07 series of amendments Proposal to clarify and correct the reference in paragraph 8.3.6. to UN R14 and the new UN Regulation on ISOFIX anchorages with regard to the measurement of the pitch angle used for the geometrical assessment of the installation of ISOFIX child restraint fixtures. This proposal relates directly to the supplements presented in document WP.29/2017/120.
GRSP/2017/22 | Proposal for Corrigendum 1 to Supplement 1 to the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 16 Proposal to correct paragraph 1.2. by deleting "and Appendix 5" in order to align with the text of Supplement 9 to the 06 series of amendments to UN R16, to correct Table 1 by deleting "F1" (this fixture is part of a corresponding ISO standard not found in UN R16), and to correct Appendix 5 by replacing "universal" with "i-Size" (UN R129 booster seats can be only i-Size or specific).
GRSP-62-14 | Proposal for collective amendments to UN Regulations Nos. 16, 94, and 137 As a counterproposal to document GRSP/2017/27 submitted by the EC, OICA suggests to group all the airbag warning requirements in one single UN Regulation (i.e. UN R16); this would avoid future administrative burden when these may need adaptation. Another solution could be to simply refer, in UN R94 and UN R137, to the label defined in UN R16; OICA suggests that GRSP discusses the most suitable approach. In addition, OICA agrees with the EC proposal to better define the required label, in order to avoid potential misinterpretations. However, when it comes to the printing of the user information in a multitude of languages, OICA considers this is an unnecessary burden, with no benefit to the user. User manuals are placed in the vehicles at the point of sale and therefore in the local language(s); in the not so frequent cases whereby a vehicle, during its lifetime, ends up in a different country/language, the user will always be able to obtain the manual in his own language, if he so asks. OICA consequently proposes not to amend the current requirements on the issue of languages.

9. Regulation No. 17 (Strength of seats)
GRSP/2017/25 | Proposal for Supplement 5 to the 08 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 17 Proposal to clarify that seat belt components such as retractors shall not sustain damage during testing according to Annex 9 of UN R17. Such components have occasionally been damaged during testing such that their functionality has been impaired. In order to ensure adequate occupant safety, this proposal would require all safety-belt components to be included in the test installation and require post-test inspection to confirm the absence of damage.
GRSP-62-37 | UN R17: Proposal for Supplement 5 to the 08 series of amendments Revised proposal, pursuant to GRSP-62 discussions, to clarify that seat belt components such as retractors shall remain functional if damaged during the load-retention test according to Annex 9 of UN R17. Such components have occasionally been damaged during testing such that their functionality has been impaired. In order to ensure adequate occupant safety, this proposal would require all safety-belt components to be included in the test installation and require post-test inspection to confirm the absence of damage.

10. Regulation No. 22 (Protective helmets)
GRSP-62-04 | Proposal for Supplement 3 to the 05 series of amendments Regulation No. 22 Proposal to modify the frequency of conformity of production inspections and random sampling. Absent ISO 9002 certification, inspections would change from "3 times a year" to "1 time a year" (i.e. annual). For ISO 9002-accredited facilities, the amendment would offer authorities flexibility for inspections every 1-2 years depending upon the results of previous inspections.
GRSP-62-10 | Proposal for Supplement 3 to the 05 series of amendments Regulation No. 22 Proposal from the GRSP secretariat to prohibit the use of the DETA program Unique Identifier in place of the approval mark specified in UN R22 because the current mark provides important consumer information that would be lost through use of the UI. This prohibition has similarly been approved for child restraint systems (UN R44 and R129).
GRSP-62-19 | French considerations on UN Regulation No. 22 Position of France concerning the need to update helmet requirements in light of new designs and technologies presenting safety benefits and raising new safety concerns.

13. Regulation No. 94 (Frontal collision)
GRSP-62-14 | Proposal for collective amendments to UN Regulations Nos. 16, 94, and 137 As a counterproposal to document GRSP/2017/27 submitted by the EC, OICA suggests to group all the airbag warning requirements in one single UN Regulation (i.e. UN R16); this would avoid future administrative burden when these may need adaptation.

14. Regulation No. 95 (Lateral collision)
GRSP/2017/40 | Proposal for Supplement 7 to the 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 95 Proposal to clarify the conditions where a door is deemed to be open under UN R95. Technical Services have interpreted the definition of “open” under paragraph 5.3.1. differently, resulting in divergent outcomes. The proposed definitions are taken from UN Regulation No. 135 Revision 1.
15. Regulation No. 100 (Electric power trained vehicles)
GRSP/2016/7 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 100 Proposal to transfer provisions for electrical safety of trolleybuses from UN Regulation No. 107 (M2 and M3 vehicles) to UN Regulation No. 100 (Electric Power Trained Vehicles). This proposal seeks to clarify the scope of the two Regulations with regard to the electrical safety of trolleybuses.
GRSP-62-31 | UN R100: Draft Supplement 4 to the 02 series of amendments and Supplement 5 to the 01 series of amendments Proposal to amend the transitional provisions in order to explicitly confirm that approvals granted prior to the respective supplements to the 01 and 02 series of amendments and the establishment of the new guidelines on UN Regulation procedures (documents WP.29/2017/107 including Corrigendum 1 and Addendum 1) will continue to be accepted. This amendment thus confirms the understanding that the new procedures apply only to new approvals and do not affect previous approvals.
16. Regulation No. 127 (Pedestrian safety)
17. Regulation No. 129 (Enhanced Child Restraint Systems)
GRSP/2017/29 | Proposal for Supplement 2 to the 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 129 Proposal to specify the proper use and behavior of an adult safety-belt used to install a non-integral Enhanced CRS during dynamic tests. These instructions are present in UN R44, but not in UN R129. Therefore, this proposal would align the two regulations.
GRSP/2017/30 | Proposal for Supplement 2 to the 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 129 Proposal to allow for the use of electronic means (QR code, smartphone software application, etc.) in furnishing the consumer with the list of vehicle applications of a CRS.

GRSP-62-05 | UN R137: Proposal for Supplement 1 to the original series and for Supplement 1 to the 01 series of amendments Proposal to delete measurement of the femur bending moments because such measurements are unnecessary under the full width rigid impact test.
GRSP-62-14 | Proposal for collective amendments to UN Regulations Nos. 16, 94, and 137 As a counterproposal to document GRSP/2017/27 submitted by the EC, OICA suggests to group all the airbag warning requirements in one single UN Regulation (i.e. UN R16); this would avoid future administrative burden when these may need adaptation. Another solution could be to simply refer, in UN R94 and UN R137, to the label defined in UN R16; OICA suggests that GRSP discusses the most suitable approach. In addition, OICA agrees with the EC proposal to better define the required label, in order to avoid potential misinterpretations. However, when it comes to the printing of the user information in a multitude of languages, OICA considers this is an unnecessary burden, with no benefit to the user. User manuals are placed in the vehicles at the point of sale and therefore in the local language(s); in the not so frequent cases whereby a vehicle, during its lifetime, ends up in a different country/language, the user will always be able to obtain the manual in his own language, if he so asks. OICA consequently proposes not to amend the current requirements on the issue of languages.

26. (g) UN Regulation No. 80 (Seat Strength of Coaches and Buses)
GRSP-62-12 | UN R80: Proposal for the 04 series of amendments Research has shown that dynamic testing under Appendix 1 is more demanding than the static testing under Appendix 5. As a result, approvals based upon static testing are not equivalent to approvals based on dynamic testing. This proposal, therefore, would delete Appendix 5. In addition, this proposal amends Appendix 1 by reducing the forward movement of the head of the manikin to 1.2 m in alignment with UN Regulation No. 14. Further, the proposal would limit the movement of the seat anchorages to 100 mm to ensure a minimum residual space for the passenger between the seats. Lastly, to ensure that seat fixations are reliably fastened after relocation, the proposal would require the necessary information to be marked directly on the seat and provided in the owner’s manual.

GRSP-62-32 | UN R11: Draft Supplement 2 to the 04 series of amendments Proposal to amend the transitional provisions in order to explicitly confirm that approvals granted under the preceding series of amendments and the establishment of the new guidelines on UN Regulation procedures (documents WP.29/2017/107 including Corrigendum 1 and Addendum 1) will continue to be accepted. This amendment thus confirms the understanding that the new procedures apply only to new approvals and do not affect previous approvals.
