Spreadsheet of results from the BASt workshop on the use of a new child restraint fixture for testing child restraint systems anchorages and belt configurations.

Updated version of the proposed 01 series of amendments to UN R129 prepared by the Informal Group on Child Restraint Systems pursuant to the 46th CRS informal group session. 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).

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

UN Regulations 21, 26, and 125 have provisions that relate to mirrors and/or the program to enable the approval of camera-monitor systems as a replacement for conventional mirrors. This document discusses changes that will be required under the proposed CMS revisions to UN R46.

Proposal by the secretariat to correct a reference to UN R25 to refer to the 04 series of amendments rather than to the 03 series of amendments.

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.

CLEPA proposal to clarify dynamic testing, rear seat system approval and transitional provisions.

Proposal to define the moment of intertia in the luggage-impact test as “0.3 ± 0.05 kgm2 (around all 3 principal axis of inertia of the luggage blocks)”. UN R17 presently lacks such a definition, resulting in variations in trajectory and behavior of the luggage cubes before and after impact.

Proposal to extend the prohibition against the installation of side-facing seats to all categories of commercial vehicles (N).

Proposal as revised during the 55th GRSP session (superseding document GRSP/2014/06) incorporating changes to UN R94 in light of the development of the new regulation concerning protection in frontal collisions with focus on the restraint system, especially to improve the protection of older occupants.

Proposal by the GRSP secretariat to delete Appendix 3 (examination of the mobile impact barrier) to Annex 5 of UN R95. Appendix 3 was rendered redundant by the 02 series of amendments to the regulation (which introduced the EEVC mobile deformable barrier).

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).

Text prepared by the Informal Working Group of Rechargeable Energy Storage System (IWG REESS) to resolve open issues concerning the draft new UN Regulation on L-category vehicle electric powertrains (document GRSP/2014/11).

Text prepared by the Informal Working Group on Frontal Impact (IWG FI) to introduce necessary modifications to the draft UN Regulation on frontal impact focusing on requirements for restraint systems (GRSP/2014/10).

Draft of the amendment to introduce the Flex PLI lower legform impactor and related test procedures into the GTR on pedestrian safety protection, including the new bumper test area specifications.

The 03 series of amendment introduced a new Test C into UN Regulation No. 29. This proposal adds specifications for the test rig in the case where a pendulum impactor is used (as is already prescribed for Tests A and B. To improve the repeatability of the test, the submission further proposes to place the cab on a horizontal surface and to fix the pendulum with a required angle of 20° of impact against the cab to be tested.

This study compares crash test dummy parameter values from sled tests with real-life accident data in order to evaluate the applicability of crash test methods to assess the risk of whiplash injury in rear-end impacts.

Draft list of criteria as initially prepared by JASIC and modified during GTR 7-Phase II informal group discussions in Gothenburg.
