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).

Presentation on child restraint fixtures (CRF) and their relationship with in-vehicle safety systems, arguing that children benefit from certain CRF configurations that position the occupant for optimal benefit of seat belts or for eventual interaction with a side/curtain airbag.

Updated version of the proposed 01 series of amendments to UN R129 prepared by the Informal Group on Child Restraint Systems. The amendments propose to extend the scope of the regulation to cover non-Integral child restraint systems (“Universal Booster” or “Specific to vehicle Booster”) (Phase 2 of the UN Regulation).

OICA questions (How to make it work? Interoperability? Responsability?) concerning text for universal (i.e., independent of vehicle make or model) seats, especially with regard to OEM versus CRS manufacturer responsibilities.

Proposals agreed to during the 44th CRS informal group session with regard to the draft 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 129, including on fixtures, use of Q dummies by occupant stature, and testing for statures above 125 cm.

Third round revisions to the working document submitted for the May GRSP session (i.e., document GRSP/2014/7) intended to extend the scope of UN R129 to include non-Integral child restraint systems (“Universal Booster” or “Specific to vehicle Booster”) (Phase 2 of the UN Regulation).

Updated presentation for the continued discussion of Japanese views on the use of the Q6 dummy in the draft provisions of the second-phase amendments to the regulation on enhanced child restraint systems.

Second set of revisions to the working document submitted for the May GRSP session (i.e., document GRSP/2014/7) intended to extend the scope of UN R129 to include non-Integral child restraint systems (“Universal Booster” or “Specific to vehicle Booster”) (Phase 2 of the UN Regulation).

Summary of assessments for the installation of the Römer Kidfix child restraint system as part of the Euro NCAP Child Occupant Rating for passenger cars.

Table of questions and answers, including open issue concerning double homologation for discussion at the 44th CRS informal group session.

Proposal for further clarifications to the draft text amendments that would to extend the scope of UN R129 to include non-Integral child restraint systems (“Universal Booster” or “Specific to vehicle Booster”).

Presentation on alternatives for bench foam given the unavailability of the previously selected material.

Japan positions on the scope of the current phase 2 work, especially with regard to child sizes above 125 cm and the use of the Q6 versus Q10 child dummies.

Presentation proposing language concerning maximum booster dimensions in UN R129.

Proposal to amend UN Regulation No. 129 (Enhanced Child Restraint System (ECRS)) as recommended by the informal working group on Child Restraint Systems (IWG CRS) in order to extend the scope of this regulation to non-integral child restraint systems (“Universal Booster” or “Specific to vehicle Booster”) (Phase 2 of the UN Regulation).

Table of questions, answers, and actions on open issues in the development of UN R129, i-size fixtures, and universal child booster seats and restraint systems.

Revised proposal to amend UN R129, updating the formal proposal GRSP/2014/7 submitted for the May 2014 GRSP session, pursuant to discussions of the CRS informal working group during its 43rd session. The 01 series of amendments would introduce provisions to enable the approval of non-integral child restraint systems (“Universal Booster” or “Specific to vehicle Booster”) under “phase 2” of the regulation’s development.

Amendment to introduce all the modifications needed in UN Regulation No. 129 (Enhanced Child Restraint System (ECRS)) that were suggested by the experts of the informal working group on Child Restraint Systems (IWG CRS) to extend the scope of this Regulation to Non-Integral child restraint systems (“Universal Booster” or “Specific to vehicle Booster”) (Phase 2 of the UN Regulation).
