Proposal drafted by OICA pursuant to cooperation among the EU, Consumers International, Governmental experts, Euro NCAP, OICA and CLEPA to restructure and simplify the consumer information requirements on the installation of ISOFIX child restraint systems under UN R16.

Proposal to strip ISOFIX CRS provisions from UN R44 and to cease all new type approvals for ISOFIX integral CRS under UN R44 from [November 2016] in deference to UN R129 on Enhanced CRS.

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.

Updated proposal from the CRS informal group to introduce phase 2 amendments related to the booster-seat CRS category (booster seat with backrest) into UN R129. This document updates the proposal in document GRSP/2016/4.

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

Proposal to change the burn-rate in documents GRSP/2016/3, GRSP/2016/5, and GRSP/2016/6 from [250 mm] to the equivalent of the FMVSS 302 specification, i.e., 100 mm.

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).

Hungary agrees with the proposed change to the airbag label, but recommends the addition of transitional provisions.

Revised version of the proposal from the CRS informal group to introduce phase 2 amendments regarding the approval of booster-seat CRS category (booster seat with backrest) into UN R129. This version supersedes document GRSP/2016/4 and will be introduced at the next GRSP session in May. Pursuant to the GRSP discussions, the draft may be subject to further changes during the June CRS-59 session.

Technical services question on application of testing under UN R44. The problem is how to test ECRS that do not fit into the required VSF, they are “vehicle specific”, but do we have to test them on body shell?

Proposal from the CRS informal group to introduce phase 2 amendments regarding the approval of booster-seat CRS category (booster seat with backrest) into UN R129.

Proposal for Phase 3 development aimed at preventing the approval of CRS systems with unduly complex fixation designs.

CRS informal group draft revision of the formal proposal submitted to GRSP (GRSP/2016/4).

Presentation concerning the interpretation of UN R129 with regard to approval markings and i-Size logo marking on CRS seat combinations.

Proposal to define provisions for “Integral” and “Non-Integral” Enhanced Child Restraint Systems (ECRS). “Integral” refers to systems where the child is restrained only by components which comprise the ECRS (e.g. strap harness, impact shield, etc.), and not by means connected directly to the vehicle (e.g. adult seat belt). “Non-Integral”, then, refers to systems where the child is retained by use of the adult seat belt connected directly to the vehicle. This proposal represents “Phase 1” in the development of UN R129.

Presentation on child restraint systems that can be integral or non-integral and related labeling/installation issues.
