EqOP informal group draft status report to GRSP
Reference Number: EqOP-16-02

The Equitable Occupant Protection Informal Working Group to GRSP pursues equitable and enhanced protection of a diverse population through robust regulatory solutions addressing rear-end and frontal impacts. Strategic goals include reducing injury risk for restraint systems, assessing currently not considered injury types with high frequency and risk of Permanent Musculoskeletal Impairment, and avoiding bias in protection. The group established task forces on rear impact seat assessment focusing on soft tissue neck injuries, virtual crash testing, frontal impact and restraint system requirements, and extension of assessment towards currently not considered injury types. Upcoming workshops are scheduled for June online, September in Munich, and November in Tokyo. Next steps include prioritization and categorization of identified topics into short-term, mid-term, and long-term timeframes within respective task forces.

RE5: Draft HB3 LEDr category
Reference Number: TFSR-28-06

Based on LS-1691, this document defines specifications for HB3 LED light sources. LED light sources shall not exceed the specified envelope, function in either voltage polarity, and be rotated in the measuring holder until the reference lug contacts the holder plane. Essential electrical and photometric characteristics include rated values at 12V and 13.2V, with minimum luminous flux of 2000 lm and cap temperature limits. Luminous flux measured at elevated ambient air temperature shall be at least 75% of objective luminous flux. Screen projection requirements specify box system proportions for light emitting areas and contrast limits. Normalized luminous intensity distribution shall comply with specified limits in defined C-planes when measured at test voltage.

RE5: Draft HIR2 LEDr category
Reference Number: TFSR-28-05

This document defines category HIR2 LED light source specifications. The LED light source shall not exceed the envelope indicated in Figure 2, be concentric to the reference axis, and function in either voltage polarity. Essential characteristics include rated values at 12 volts DC of 26 watts power and 2000 lm minimum luminous flux. Cap temperature shall not exceed 63°C at test voltage or 100°C at elevated ambient air temperature. Luminous flux measured at elevated ambient air temperature shall be at least 75% of objective luminous flux. Light emitted shall be white. The contrast proportion of luminous flux shall be 100 minimum. Normalized luminous intensity distribution shall comply with specified limits in C-planes.

H9 LEDr flux considerations and “dual-voltage topic”
Reference Number: TFSR-28-01

Revision of TFSR-26-03 addresses H9 LEDr flux considerations and dual-voltage specification. The document proposes applying a single specification for H9 LEDr: 1875 lm ±10% @13.2V, representing a compromise between high-beam and low-beam applications. This luminous flux level is not critical, as high-beam measurements with H9 filament bulbs exceed legal minimums by more than 10%, and low-beam safety margins remain acceptable with limited flux increases. Additionally, a black-top limit of 50 cd/klm at control point zero is proposed for bulbs without black-top specification, and LEA sub-zone specifications (B1, B2, B3) for high-beam categories should be optimized to support beam performance.
