Revised version of the proposal from the CRS informal working group to include provisions for universal belted and specific-to-vehicle belted child restraint systems under Phase 3 of UN Regulation No. 129.

Revised proposal for the 03 series of amendments under Phase 3 of Regulation No. 129 (GRSP-61-17 and subsequent revisions) as developed during the 67th CRS informal group session. This proposal introduces provisions for universal belted and specific-to-vehicle belted child restraint systems under Phase 3 of UN Regulation No. 129.

EVS informal group draft proposal to be submitted by the European Union, China, Japan, Republic of Korea and the United States outlining the goals, objectives, and anticipated time frame for the further development of test procedures and performance requirements for electric vehicle safety.

Proposal from the chair to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of EVS informal group discussions by adhering to deadlines for meeting preparations and documents submissions, especially to ensure that all participants have had sufficient time to consider contributions and prepare for each discussion.

Review of GB/T 31467.3-2015 and UL 2580 rotation test procedure to assess performance of REESS in vehicle rollover.

Presentation on (sea) water immersion testing under KMVSS 48 (Test Procedures for Traction Battery Safety).

Status report on Amendment 1 to ISO 6469-1:2007 concerning demonstration methods for thermal runaway risk mitigation in case of a cell internal failure within an electrified vehicle battery system/battery pack.

In line with amendments presented in document GRSP/2017/13 and adopted by GRSP to clarify the seat belt installation procedure for testing integral child restraint systems (in order to ensure proper evaluation of potential injury risks), this proposal recommends corresponding amendments to address non-integral child restraint systems (e.g., booster seats).

Proposal to clarify the conditions where a door is deemed to be open under UN R95. Technical Services have interpreted the definition of “open” under paragraph 5.3.1. differently, resulting in divergent outcomes. The proposed definitions are taken from UN Regulation No. 135 Revision 1.

Proposal to cease new approvals of non-integral group 2 and group 2/3 child restraint systems under UN Regulation No. 44 as of [1 September 2018].

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 (proposed through 2025).

Proposal to correct Table 1 by deleting “F1” (this fixture is part of a corresponding ISO Standard but not in UN R16) and to replace “universal” by “i-Size” in the title of Appendix 5, as UN R129 booster seats can be only i-Size or specific.

Proposal to correct paragraph 1.2. by deleting “and Appendix 5” in order to align with the text of Supplement 9 to the 06 series of amendments to UN R16, to correct Table 1 by deleting “F1” (this fixture is part of a corresponding ISO standard not found in UN R16), and to correct Appendix 5 by replacing “universal” with “i-Size” (UN R129 booster seats can be only i-Size or specific).

Proposal to clarify that the second level warning requirement in the 02 series of amendments to the UN R16 is dependent upon the needs of each seating position. A strict reading of paragraph 2.45. would require a second-level warning in the event of any unfastened seat-belt in a front or rear position. This proposal would clarify that the second-level warning is required depending on the individual position requirement (e.g., based on detection that a position is occupied).

Proposal to harmonize airbag warning labels regarding the correct use of a child restraint system in a seating position equipped with an activated frontal airbag in order to prohibit the display of additional information unrelated to child safety.
