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 clarify and correct the reference in paragraph 8.3.6. to UN R14 and the new UN Regulation on ISOFIX anchorages with regard to the measurement of the pitch angle used for the geometrical assessment of the installation of ISOFIX child restraint fixtures. This proposal relates directly to the supplements presented in document WP.29/2017/120.

Requirements for the approval of:

1. Compressed hydrogen storage systems for hydrogen-fuelled vehicles of categories L₁, L₂, L₃, L₄ and L₅ on their safety-related performance
2. Specific components for compressed hydrogen storage systems for hydrogen-fuelled vehicles of categories L₁, L₂, L₃, L₄ and L₅ on their safety-related performance
3. Hydrogen-fuelled vehicles of categories L₁, L₂, L₃, L₄ and L₅ incorporating compressed hydrogen storage system on its safety-related performance.

First meeting of the informal group on deployable pedestrian protection systems (DPPS) which has taken over the work of the initial task force on DPPS.

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 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).

Proposal to delete the requirement for chest deflection and abdominal pressure data under the dynamic tests. These criteria were not required in this (original or 00 series) version of UN R129.

Proposal to clarify that the opening force applied to the ISOFIX attachments of a complete seat or of a seat component under the test protocol is 50 ± 1 N.

Proposal to specify the proper use and behavior of an adult safety-belt used to install a non-integral Enhanced CRS during dynamic tests. These instructions are present in UN R44, but not in UN R129. Therefore, this proposal would align the two regulations. The proposal also clarifies that the opening force applied to the ISOFIX attachments of a complete seat or of a seat component under the test protocol is 50 ± 1 N.

Proposal to introduce provisions for the approval of universal belted and specific-to-vehicle belted child restraint systems. The proposal also introduces provisions for lower tether straps. This proposal represents the culmination of the “Phase 3” amendments prepared by the CRS informal group. This amendment concludes the three-phased program to develop a new UN Regulation for CRS to supersede UN R44.

Proposal to delete a reference to the measurement of the femur bending moments because such measurements are unnecessary under the full width rigid impact test. Specifically, paragraph 5.2.4.1. is changed from “The axial compressive force and the bending moments are measured with a CFC of 600.” to read “The axial compressive force is measured with a CFC of 600.”

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 2019, to delete a reference to the “Y” symbol denoting a crotch strap, to allow for the use of digital means (QR code, smartphone software application, etc.) in furnishing the consumer with the list of vehicle applications of a CRS, to clarify that the opening force applied to the ISOFIX attachments of a complete seat or of a seat component under the test protocol is 50 ± 1 N, and to clarify the test protocol for positioning and securing the child restraint system on the vehicle.

Proposal to modify the frequency of conformity of production inspections and random sampling and to prohibit the use of the DETA program Unique Identifier in place of the approval mark specified in UN R22 because the current mark provides important consumer information that would be lost through use of the UI. This latter prohibition has similarly been approved for child restraint systems (UN R44 and R129).

Overview document as revised during the third and fourth DPPS task force sessions and submitted to the first session of the DPPS informal group.

Presentation (corrected from the original submission) on the Euro NCAP program to harmonize pedestrian impact simulations using Human Body Models.

Proposal to clarify and align the French version of the text with regard to its English counterpart and the provisions on locking devices for each vehicle door.
