GRE expressed concerns whether Reversing projections would interfere in the behaviour of rear-view camera system In UN R48. GRSG to take into account in case further considerations need to be taken into account in UN-R.158

Text is prepared by the expert from Spain to amend the provisions concerning the approval of category M2 or M3 vehicles with regard to their general construction. The aim is to guarantee that the vehicle remains stopped whilst the lifts or the ramps are being used.

Proposal to ensure that the vehicle remains stopped while lifts or ramps are being used.

Proposal to clarify that parts made of plastic glazing are required to undergo the tests described in Annexes 6 to 8 of UN R118.

Presently, rearward-facing child restraint systems cannot be type approved under the ISOFIX Universal category of UN R16. Spain sees no technical reasons to forbid type approval of rearward facing ISOFIX as universal CRS and so proposes to add such enabling provisions to the regulation.

Proposal to introduce minimum force and two-action release requirements to prevent children from inadvertantly disengaging ISOFIX child restraints.

Proposal to revise the upper belt anchorage height requirements of UN R14 in order to permit adjustable restraint systems that have recently appeared on the European market and have proven to satisfactorily restrain children and adults in buses and motor-coaches.

The text prepared by Spain on behalf of the Technical Services Group (TSG) on Regulation No. 44. The proposed amendment is intended to clarify a number of technical provisions in the regulation.

Updated proposal to clarify various technical provisions as developed by the Technical Services Group (TSG) on Regulation No. 44.

Text prepared by the UN R44 Technical Services Group to clarify the regulation, including test failure parameters, CRS displacement or locking systems, seat installation color coding systems, and use of load limiting devices. The test procedure would be modified, including an increase in the applied load to exceed the maximum allowed resistance to permit sliding of the strap through the quick adjuster and through rigid parts, increased tolerances related thereto, deletion of the option for shorter shift (deemed unnecessary since it is a test on the strap, not on the complete component), and modification of drawings to improve consistency with the text.

Updated proposal from Spain on behalf of the CRS Technical Services Group to align requirements for deceleration test devices with acceleration ones (making explicit that it is mandatory to match the corridor for each test) and to add dummy criteria and compliance with ISO 17025 to the information required in test reports.

Proposal from Spain on behalf of the CRS Technical Services Group to

• to align paragraph 6.6.3.1. with the 01 series of amendments,
• to align requirements in 7.1.3.1 to test methods in 8.1.2.4.,
• to add tolerances to better define the test method in paragraph 8.1.2.3.,
• to improve the specifications for the measurement of dimensions C and D in Annex 23,
• to align deceleration test requirements with acceleration test provisions (making explicit that it is mandatory to match the corridor for each test, and
• to define the initial acceleration value under paragraph 7.3. against which the maximum deviation restriction is to be applied.

Presentation concerning technical discussions, conclusions, and proposals for CRS bench seat cushion drop tests under UN R44 and UN R129.

Proposal to clarify that assessment of the DE plane only applies to rearward-facing Child Restraint Systems (CRS) in UN Regulation No. 44 and therefore does not apply to forward-facing child restraints that maintain structure of the child restraint behind the head of the dummy.

Explanatory notes related to formal documents GRSP/2018/ 19 through 22 (superseded by informal documents GRSP-64-02 to GRSP-64-05) submitted by Spain for the 63rd GRSP session.

Proposal to modify the approval markings:

• specify the dimensions of the approval number
• update i-Size universal ISOFIX, Specific Vehicle ISOFIX, i-Size Booster seat and Specific Vehicle Booster seat numbering (omitted in WP29-2018-045)
• rearrange the dimensions mark for arrangements of the approval mark where used in combination with the module mark
• change the 145 cm stature of the Specific Vehicle Booster seat to 150 cm stature as this is the correct upper limit.

Proposal to modify the approval markings for consistency between technical services and approval authorities and between the labels of products approved under the 02 and 03 series. Combinations of approval marks can be made as long as the categories are able to be combined (category-wise as given in paragraph 3.2.2 and as long as it is one approval number). By combining approval marks, space on the Enhanced Child Restraint can be saved and more space is available for clear installation and use instructions. The current layout of the module label in UN R129.02 is technically impossible because the example provides a rectangular shape, with the module and base placed next to each other and joined with a plus mark while the given symbols are on top of each other and joined with an arrow mark.

Explanation of informal documents GRSP-64-07 to -09 regarding the rearrangement of approval markings.

Proposal to specify that, in the case of an infant carrier, the dummy shall be restrained in the Enhanced Child Restraint System before it is installed on the test bench.

Proposal to specify the dimensions of the approval number, correct term from " Regulation No. 129-02" to “UN Regulation No. 129/02”, and change the 145 cm stature of the Specific Vehicle Booster seat to the 150 cm stature as this is the upper limit.

Proposal to:

• Remove a residual reference in Annex 22 to ‘temporary’ requirements for belt-attached infant carrier modules;
• Extend and adapt the minimum breaking load requirements to cover the webbing straps of all categories of integral enhanced child restraint systems (not only i-Size); and
• Clarify that Integral Belted enhanced child restraint categories are required to undergo rear or lateral dynamic impact testing.

Proposal to clarify that the minimum prescribed dimensions of a CRS do not restrict the maximum dimensions of CRS.

Proposal to clarify the head containment assessment for side impact testing.

Proposal on behalf of the Technical Services Group to clarify the approach in the production qualification testing phase.

Draft proposal prepared by the STCBC informal group concerning the approval of built-in Child Restraint Systems installed in vehicles of categories M2 and M3 class B and class III with regard to the securing of children from 40-150 cm in forward facing [and rearward facing] vehicle seats.

This Regulation applies to Built-in Child Restraint Systems installed in vehicles of categories M2 and M3 class B and class III with regards to the securing of children from 40 – 150 cm in forward facing and rearward facing vehicle seats.

For M2 and M3 vehicle of all classes, when an adult seating in a forward-facing seat which face a built in Child Restraint system, an impact between the adult and the child shall be prevented. In order to prevent the impact between the occupants a 3-point belt is requested on the adult seating position. The text has been proposed to be updated in the UN Regulation 16 Supplement 05 to 08 series of amendments, it seeks to harmonize requirements in both UN Regulation 14 and UN Regulation 16.
