Proposal to harmonize airbag warning labels regarding the correct use of a child restraint system in a seating position equipped with an activated frontal airbag in order to prohibit the display of additional information unrelated to child safety.

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.

CRS informal group proposal to correct wording and chapter references, clarify test procedures, and introduce new definitions.

Proposal to correct the omission of the exemption of non-integral ECRS with a stature range starting at 100 cm or above from the testing of toxicity in Supplement 1 to R129 (document WP.29/2016/106, paragraph 6.3.1.1.). This correction should also be applied to the later documents:

• GRSP /2017/44 Proposal for Supplement 7 to R129,
• GRSP /2017/43 Proposal for Supplement 4 to 01 series of amendments to R129,
• GRSP /2017/42 Proposal for Supplement 3 to 02 series of amendments to R129, and
• GRSP /2017/41 Proposal for 03 series of amendments to R129.

Proposal to cease new approvals of non-integral group 2 and group 2/3 child restraint systems under UN Regulation No. 44 as of [1 September 2018].

CRS informal group proposal to correct wording and chapter references, clarify test procedures, and introduce new definitions.

Changes agreed by the CRS informal group for the “Phase 3” amendments (universal belted and specific-to-vehicle belted CRS) (amending document GRSP/2017/41) addressing definitions and provisions for lower tether strap and lower tether anchorages.

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.

Proposal on behalf of the Technical Services Group (TSG) on UN Regulation No. 129 to clarify that the opening force applied to the ISOFIX attachments of a complete seat or of a seat component under the test protocol is 50 ± 1 N.

CRS informal group proposal to correct wording and chapter references, clarify test procedures, and introduce new definitions.

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.

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.
