Proposal to modify document GRSP/2014/15 presenting Amendment 2 to GTR No. 9. Amendment 2 would introduce the flexible pedestrian legform impactor (FlexPLI) as a single harmonized test tool. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has expressed concern whether the injury assessment reference values (IARV) proposed in Amendment 2 will be able to meet the needs for injury mitigation in the United States of America. In order to allow the amendment to move forward, the United States proposes to accept the IARV while noting in the statement of technical rationale and justification its continuing research into the IARVs and the possibility of a future proposal to amend the values should this prove warranted.

Proposal to amend UN R44 in line with the proposal to amend UN R14 in order to separate child restraint provisions (including ISOFIX anchorage provisions) into a new UN Regulation. The ISOFIX amendment to UN R14 has been introduced to facilitate the establishment of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) regulation by limiting the scope of UN R14 to adult safety belts.

Proposal to consolidate provisions concerning ISOFIX anchorages systems, ISOFIX top tether anchorages and i-Size seating positions removed from Regulation No. 14 in a new regulation. This change removes obstacles to the inclusion of UN R14 into Annex 4 of the future UN Regulation No. 0 of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA).

Proposal to add the Q0 infant test dummy to the UN R44 procedures in response to problems encountered in acquiring the currently specified P0 dummy.

Updated proposal being developed by the Technical Services Group and the CRS informal group for submission to GRSP in 2017.

The Technical Services Group raises concerns over defining the stature range for non-integral child restraint systems:

1. Shoulder height will be a challenge to define due to interference with the headrest
2. Shoulder breadth in respect to side wings of the seat.

1. The proposed amendment includes Enhanced Child Restraint Systems from the universal belted or specific to vehicle belted categories into the scope of UN Regulation No. 129. This represents Phase 3 of the UN Regulation.
2. The text includes all modifications proposed by GRSP up to and including its sixtieth session (13-16 December 2016) as well as those of the Informal Working Group on Child Restraint Systems up to and including its sixty-third session (Brussels, 25th January 2017).
3. This proposal refers to the original text of Regulation No. 129, including the following amendments:
   • Corrigendum 1,
   • Supplement 1,
   • Supplement 2,
   • Supplement 3,
   • Supplement 4,
   • the 01 series of amendments,
   • Supplement 1 to the 01 series of amendments,

   • Supplement 2 to the 01 series of amendments (GRSP/2016/22 amended by GRSP-60-09-Rev.2).
