Amendments integrated into the regulation via Revision 5.

Text adopted by the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP) at its fiftieth session to align UN Regulation No. 14 with the provisions of draft Regulation on Child Restraint Systems (CRS).

Text adopted by the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP) to update provisions of UN Regulation No. 14 in order to delete erroneous cross-references in text, making reference only the “adjusting system” which is defined in section 2 of the Regulation.

Amendments integrated into the regulation with Revision 5.

Proposal as approved by the GRSP to introduce exemptions for vehicles not intended for transporting children during normal use.

Proposal to introduce provisions for ISOFIX in convertible cars, to exempt vehicles with one seating position per row from the ISOFIX provisions of UN R14 and to correct an editorial error in Supplement 4 to the 07 series of the regulation, as adopted by the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP) at its 54th session. This proposal supersedes the earlier proposal submitted to WP.29 (document WP.29/2014/34) which was returned by WP.29 to GRSP for further consideration.

Proposal to introduce: (i) a definition of flexible shoulder adjustment device for height, (ii) provisions for its testing and (iii) to define its strict field of installation for vehicle categories M2 and M3.

Proposal to transfer all ISOFIX requirements from UN R14 into a new UN Regulation. Within the context of the international whole vehicle type approval program, the removal of these CRS anchorage provisions would align UN R14 with its Australian Design Rule counterpart and enable Australia to apply the revised UN R14 narrowed down to adult seat-belt anchorages only.

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 M1 and N1 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 (starting from September 2019 through into 2025).

Proposal to align UN R14 with recent changes to UN R16 on occupant restraint systems. Two “Booster Seat” fixtures (ISO/B2 and ISO/B3) were added to UN R16 to coincide with the implementation of Phase 2 of UN R129 (enhanced child restraint systems). These fixtures were developed within ISO/TC 22/SC 36/WG 2 (Child Restraint Systems) and follow the principle already established in Regulations 16 and 129 to ensure child restraint to car compatibility. An additional “Reduced-Size Rearward Facing toddler CRS” fixture (ISO/R2x) was added to facilitate compatibility in small cars/seating positions. The ISO/B2 booster seat fixture was added in the i-Size concept. Lateral facing fixtures (ISO/L1 and ISO/L2) have been upgraded.

Proposal to update a reference regarding ISOFIX exemptions permitted under paragraph 5.3.8.8. (related to vehicles with one seat position per row). The reference should read 5.3.8.8. and 5.3.8.9.

Proposal to transpose the provisions on minimum number of anchorage points and location of lower anchorages from Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3).

Proposal from GRSP to correct an inconsistency in Annex 6 – Appendix 1 with regard to the minimum number of lower anchorages for folding seats.

Proposal from GRSP to correct an inconsistency in Annex 6 – Appendix 1 with regard to the minimum number of lower anchorages for folding seats.

Proposal from GRSP to correct an inconsistency in Annex 6 – Appendix 1 with regard to the minimum number of lower anchorages for folding seats.

Proposal to enhance the safety of the belted passenger seated behind a seat by removing the two of the derogations for two-point belts in buses and coaches laid down in paragraphs 5.3.5. to 5.3.5.4.

Proposal for the introduction of three-point safety-belts for buses and coaches (all M2 and M3 vehicle categories) on adult seats facing a built-in Child Restraint System (CRS).

Proposal to update references to the three-dimensional “H” point measurement and calibration procedure pursuant to the transposition of these provisions from the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (RE3) to Mutual Resolution No. 1.

Proposal to enable application of UN R14 to ADS vehicles.
