Proposal to limit the overlap of this head restraint regulation with UN R17 which also addresses head restraints within the context of seat integrity. The amendment would exempt any vehicle head restraints approved under UN R17 from the requirements of UN R25. Presently, only M1 passenger cars qualify for this derogation.

UN R17, R25 and R80 address head restraints for various categories of vehicles. In order to prevent redundant application of these regulations, this amendment clarifies that head restraints approved under UN R17 would be exempted from the requirements of UN R25 and that UN R25 does not apply to coach and bus seats approved under UN R80.

Correction to include provisions for the exemption of certain headrests of M₂ and M₃ vehicles approved according to UN R80.

Proposal to amend to document GRSP/2018/10 in order to clarify the torque specification for attaching seats and to delay the proposed entry into force.

Proposal to raise requirements for the attachments and fittings of the seat (as a prelude to the eventual deletion of static test methods in favor of dynamic testing).
