Final progress report of the Informal working group on Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle GTR and the proposal to develop a global technical regulation concerning hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

Proposal to revise the upper belt anchorage height requirements of UN R14 in order to permit adjustable restraint systems that have recently appeared on the European market and have proven to satisfactorily restrain children and adults in buses and motor-coaches.

Presently, rearward-facing child restraint systems cannot be type approved under the ISOFIX Universal category of UN R16. Spain sees no technical reasons to forbid type approval of rearward facing ISOFIX as universal CRS and so proposes to add such enabling provisions to the regulation.

Proposal to introduce minimum force and two-action release requirements to prevent children from inadvertantly disengaging ISOFIX child restraints.

The current CRS label describes the dangers of using a child restraint system with an active front seat passenger airbag and was designed to correspond with the in-vehicle label of UN R94. Since the latter has been changed into a style without text, this proposal similarly revises the CRS version.

Review of bus and motor-coach seat-belt systems with adjustable anchorages for use by adults or children. Certain systems do not conform with UN R14 and R16; however, Germany argues that the belts can have benefits under certain conditions and suggests revising R14 provisions.

Presentation on the second phase crash tests of the pilot program seeking to establish a Latin American new car assessment program.

Draft of the new child restraint systems regulation following the 49th session of the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP) and of the 29th meeting of the informal group on child restraints systems (CRS) held in December 2011.

Discussion document prepared by the informal group on phase 2 of GTR 7 (Head Restraints) elaborating the proposal to manage drawings, calibration and maintenance procedures associated with test tools. The document describes the concept using the BioRID dummy as an example.

GRSP-50-27.

Submission from the Netherlands to more precisely explain the phrase “positively guide the lap strap” to prevent erroneous interpretations of the dynamic test procedure under UN R44.
