Proposal for Supplement 6 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 43
Proposal to align the headform test with the deceleration measurement and the test of resistance to abrasion with ISO 15082:2016-11, including changes to the test details, correction of the headform calibration values, and the introduction of abrasion reference materials. The latter is combined with an abrasive-wheel qualification and a correction calculation (for plastic materials only).
The proposal also amends Figure 2a of Annex 21 to better reflect the meaning of paragraph 2.4.2.2. of Annex 21, mainly to clarify the lateral limits of any opaque obscuration in this area.
This proposal (WP.29/2017/111) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-five Contracting Parties out of the 47 applying UN R43 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-five voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
