| GTR No. 7 Head Restraints | Head Restraints | Global Technical Regulation No. 7: Head Restraints This regulation specifies requirements for head restraints to reduce the frequency and severity of injuries caused by rearward displacement of the head (i.e. whiplash from rear-end collisions). A second phase in the development of this rule is underway to address the following: <ol><li>new headrest height requirements; <li>a dynamic test to mitigate both short and long term whiplash injuries; <li>evaluation of dummy use and injury criteria vis-à-vis biofidelity and correspondence with real world accidents.</ol> GRSP is expected to consider an informal proposal, addressing all issues, including a draft Addendum 1 to the M.R.1 at its December 2016 session. AC.3 agreed to extend the mandate of the IWG until March 2017. Head Restraints Head Restraints GTR No. 7 GTR No. 7 | GTR | 7 |
