CLEPA presentation asserting that inflatable car seat systems being approved under UN R44 fail to comply with the regulation’s requirements because the lap portion of the belt intrudes into the abdomen of the dummy, leading to a submarining situation.

The current CRS label describes the dangers of using a child restraint system with an active front seat passenger airbag and was designed to correspond with the in-vehicle label of UN R94. Since the latter has been changed into a style without text, this proposal similarly revises the CRS version.

Presentation detailing non-compliance issues identified in child seat belt guides and inflatable child seat systems.

Overview of the “dilemma” presented by prohibition of dual approvals under UN Regulation 44 and i-size CRS.

Review of open issues concerning ISOFIX child restraint systems.

Proposal to align UN R44 with UN R129 with respect to the references to European standard EN 71:2009 (which specifies safety requirements for toys, especially with regard to chemical composition, flammability, and other mechanical and physical properties).

Proposal to amend the toxicity and flammability declarations via references to EN71 (European safety standards).

Proposal to amend the toxicity and flammability declarations via references to EN71 (European safety standards).

Presentation of proposal for interim solution to allow for booster cushions without a backrest to be kept in UN R44 (but prohibited for children smaller than 125 cm) pending development of provisions for non-integral i-Size booster seats with integrated backrest under UN R129 (Phase2).

Presentation in support of the proposal (document GRSP-58-16) to amend the toxicity and flammability declarations via references to EN71.

Proposal to amend the toxicity and flammability declarations via references to EN71 (European safety standards).

Proposal to amend the toxicity and flammability declarations via references to EN71 (European safety standards), taking into account procedures of FMVSS 302.

Amendment to the proposals (GRSP/2016/3, GRSP/2016/5, and GRSP/2016/6) to amend the toxicity and flammability declarations via references to EN 71 (European safety standards), taking into account procedures of FMVSS 302. The amendments propose the burning rate values of FMVSS 302 (302.4 inches/102 mm per minute), to harmonize the three proposals with regard to EN standards references, and to incorporate the amendment 1 to EN 71-3 (A1:2014).

Presentation on the concerns addressed by the proposal to clarify the correct use of the seat-belt strap in the installation of a CRS in order to ensure proper testing for approvals (document GRSP/2017/13).

CLEPA response to the presentation on the phase 1, 2, and 3 amendments to UN R126 (document GRSP-61-28) regarding the proposals for amendments to the 01 and 02 series of amendments and for the 03 series of amendments. CLEPA expresses concern that certain restrictions and requirements have been proposed without adequate research and discussion, often related to concerns raised under UN R44, that would imposed unwarranted burdens on manufacturers.

Comparison of UN R44-approved child seats.

Proposal to modify the dates for phasing out Group 2 and Group 2/3 child restraint systems as proposed in document GRSP/2017/20. Approvals would cease to be granted for new type approvals from September 2021 and extensions to approvals would no longer be granted from September 2024.

The proposal clarifies the test procedure in the amended paragraph 6.1.8 in document GRSP/2017/38 by adding one dimension (175 mm) . This dimension is in line with the dimensions of the fixture from Regulation 16 to check the vehicle safety belt length (Annex 17-Appendix 1, Figure 1) and also in line with document GRSP-61-14/Rev.1 that was adopted at the 61st session.

CLEPA presentation proposing further study of possible responses to the concerns raised and solution proposed in document GRSP/2018/6 regarding non-integral child restraints (e.g., booster seats) and the risk of injuries from narrow contact with buckle and safety-belt.

Proposal of amendments to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2018/6

Proposal to clarify the chest Z axis measurement requirement.
