Proposal to correct a cross-reference with regard to an ISOFIX exemption.

Proposal to clarify the text of UN R14. The current text has produced differing interpretations among Technical Services with regard to which requirements apply to central seating positions in rear rows of category M1 and N1 vehicles and the minimum distance between two effective lower belt anchorages (L1 and L2). The proposed amendments clarify that a reduced minimum distance of 240 mm is only allowed in the case where there is only one central seating position (i.e. in a row of 3 seating positions). Rear seat rows with an even number of seats always shall have a distance of at least 350 mm. Given that it entails new requirements, the proposal is presented as a new series of amendments with transitional provisions (starting from September 2019 through into 2025).

Rear seat rows with an even number of seats shall always have a distance of at least 350 mm.

Proposal to align UN R14 with recent changes to UN R16 on occupant restraint systems. Two “Booster Seat” fixtures (ISO/B2 and ISO/B3) were added to UN R16 to coincide with the implementation of Phase 2 of UN R129 (enhanced child restraint systems). These fixtures were developed within ISO/TC 22/SC 36/WG 2 (Child Restraint Systems) and follow the principle already established in Regulations 16 and 129 to ensure child restraint to car compatibility. An additional “Reduced-Size Rearward Facing toddler CRS” fixture (ISO/R2x) was added to facilitate compatibility in small cars/seating positions. The ISO/B2 booster seat fixture was added in the i-Size concept. Lateral facing fixtures (ISO/L1 and ISO/L2) have been upgraded.

Proposal to clarify that only a three-point safety belt is permitted in the driver position.

Proposal to introduce provisions for ISOFIX in convertible cars, to exempt vehicles with one seating position per row from the ISOFIX provisions of UN R14 and to correct an editorial error in Supplement 4 to the 07 series of the regulation, as adopted by the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP) at its 54th session. This proposal supersedes the earlier proposal submitted to WP.29 (document WP.29/2014/34) which was returned by WP.29 to GRSP for further consideration.

Proposal for Supplement 7 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 14 and for Supplement 6 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 16 to clarify the texts related to the recently expanded height requirements for the effective upper belt anchorage (Supplement 4 to the 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 14).

Proposal to introduce a definition for “bucket seat” ( front passenger seat having a non-adjustable seat back) which would be exempt from the ISOFIX anchorage requirements. The proposal also exempts certain vehicle/seating configurations from ISOFIX requirements, addressing cases where the vehicle design and purpose mitigate against the use of such child restraints and ISOFIX systems.

In June 2014, WP.29 returned a proposal (document WP.29/2014/34) to introduce provisions for ISOFIX positions in convertibles and vehicles with one seating position per row due to concerns over clarity. Given the complexity of this topic, OICA has decided to address specific elements separately. This proposal addresses the use of top tethers in child restraint systems and proposes to retain the “i-size” term and definition endorsed by GRSP.

Proposal to exclude “bucket seats” from the ISOFIX requirements as well as vehicles with only one seating position (by applying the regulation only to vehicles with more than one seating position). The proposal also exempts certain vehicle/seating configurations from ISOFIX requirements, addressing cases where the vehicle design and purpose mitigate against the use of such child restraints and ISOFIX systems.

Proposal to clarify the text related to the recently expanded height requirements for the effective upper belt anchorage (Supplement 4 to the 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 14).

Germany submitted a proposal that would require at least one set of ISOFIX anchorages in single-row vehicles (which are currently exempted under UN R14). This proposal (superseding GRSP-55-31) would set a minimum R-point criteria for requiring the ISOFIX anchorages and thus exempt vehicles with R-points below this minimum height. The purpose is to exempt sport vehicles not intended to carry small children requiring child seats from the ISOFIX requirement.

Proposals to modify UN Regulations 10 and 14 to address requirements under Australian law.

The current text of UN R14 requires the installation of two ISOFIX anchorages in a vehicle. Vehicles with only one seat row are exempted from this requirement. This proposal refines the previous German proposal to introduce provisions for at least one set of ISOFIX anchorages in vehicles having only one seat row or having several seat rows with only one seat per row (document GRSP-53-11) which modified the proposal for Supplement 6 to the 07 series of amendments (document GRSP/2013/15).

Slide illustrating vehicle types intended to be exempted from the ISOFIX requirements of UN R14 under the proposed classification according to R-point measurement.

Proposal to clarify that the recently increased height requirements for the effective upper belt anchorage (Supplement 4 to the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 14) can be satisfied by means of a “belt adjustment device for height” that is part of the belt-anchorage as well as a device that is part of the belt itself, each with a distinctive approach. The proposals are presented as draft Supplement 7 to the 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 14 and draft Supplement 6 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 16.

Proposal to introduce provisions for ISOFIX in convertible cars, to exempt vehicles with one seating position per row from the ISOFIX provisions of UN R14 and to correct an editorial error in Supplement 4 to the 07 series of the regulation, as adopted by the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP) at its 54th session. The proposal is based on documents GRSP/2013/18 amended and GRSP/2013/4 as amended by GRSP-54-19-Rev.2, both documents reproduced as amended in Annex III to the GRSP session report.

Revised proposal to refine the proposal concerning ISOFIX anchorages in “one seat per row” seating arrangements and to rework the proposal as an amendment to UN R14 rather than as a supplement, originally presented by Germany in document GRSP/2013/15.

Revised proposal to refine the proposal concerning ISOFIX anchorages in “one seat per row” seating arrangements and to rework the proposal as an amendment to UN R14 rather than as a supplement.

Proposal to refine the proposal concerning ISOFIX anchorages in “one seat per row” seating arrangements. OICA believes this should be an amendment rather than a supplement and proposes to refine the scope to focus on seating where a child seat can be used and in vehicles that could carry a child.

The current text of UN R14 requires the installation of two ISOFIX anchorages in a vehicle. Vehicles with only one seat row are exempted from this requirement.
