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

Proposal for pictogram label to indicate that booster cushions without a backrest are only suitable for children between 125 and 150 cm tall while boosters with a backrest may be used for children from 105 cm tall.

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

US comments on child restraint systems based upon NHTSA’s National Child Restraint Use Special Study (NCRUSS), including recommendations on their installation, use, and testing thresholds.

Proposal to introduce test procedures from the US FMVSS 302 with regard to the burning behavior/flammability of materials used in child restraint systems. The proposal requests a GRSP decision on the maximum burn rate limit.

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

Presentation and proposal for clarification of language to avoid marking of stand-alone CRS that can be used as part of a modular CRS with markings under UN Regulation No. 44 and to ensure that all elements of a modular system are clearly tested, approved, and marked as parts of that modular system under UN R129.

Reference document for 54th CRS informal group discussion providing background on child stature discussions under the EU EPOCh (Enabling Protection for Older Children) project.

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).

Data to support change from plastic to aluminum hip cup in order to resolve Q-dummy problem where the plastic cup has not been strong enough to retain the hip joint (ball and socket) in position.

Copy of GRSP/2015/32 for discussion during the 54th CRS informal group session. This proposal would limit the use of booster cushions (booster seats without backrest) to children taller than 125 cm and limit their type approval under UN R44 to Group III.

Proposal to clarify that a guide strap which constrains the shoulder strap of the adult seat belt in a position to suit the child in a child restraint system cannot be approved as a separate CRS under UN R44.

Proposal to limit the use of a booster cushion (booster seat without backrest) with children of a stature greater than 125 cm and the application for type approval of such CRS only in mass Group III for children of mass from 22 kg to 36 kg. The proposal is submitted on behalf of the CRS informal working group.

Proposal to harmonize information in the airbag warning label on the correct installation of Child Restraint Systems (CRS).

Text prepared by the UN R44 Technical Services Group to clarify the regulation, including test failure parameters, CRS displacement or locking systems, seat installation color coding systems, and use of load limiting devices. The test procedure would be modified, including an increase in the applied load to exceed the maximum allowed resistance to permit sliding of the strap through the quick adjuster and through rigid parts, increased tolerances related thereto, deletion of the option for shorter shift (deemed unnecessary since it is a test on the strap, not on the complete component), and modification of drawings to improve consistency with the text.

Presentation on UN R44 and its limit on the use of booster cushion as defined in ECE R129 to children taller than 125 cm.

ANEC considers it undesirable that CRS manufacturers still can develop new products according to R44 for an undefined period. Therefore ANEC propose that no new R44 approvals be granted to Isofix integral CRS as of [9 July 2016], and that transitional provisions be amended accordingly.

Proposal to clarify what is and what is not permitted on airbag labels in order to address deviations encountered in current labeling.

Review of questions concerning the possibility of approvals for belt-only integral ECRS (i.e., no ISOFIX attachments).
