Presentation of the phase 1, phase 2, and phase 3 amendments to UN R129 on child restraint systems. The presentation corresponds respectively to documents GRSP/2017/15 (superseded by GRSP-61-15), GRSP/2017/16 (superseded by GRSP-61-16), and GRSP/2017/17 (superseded by GRSP-61-17).

In order to facilitate the establishment of an International Whole Vehicle Type Approval, provisions concerning requirements for child restraint systems are being extracted from UN R14 into a new regulation. Therefore, this proposal would update the references to UN R14 in UN R129 to enable recognition of anchorage approvals under the adult safety belt regulation (UN R14 as amended) and the new child restraint anchorage regulation.

Review of the Regional Workshop on Motorcycle Safety held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 7 April 2017. The workshop participants included 55 government officials and civil society representatives from 13 countries in the South and South-East Asia region, where 34 per cent of road deaths involve powered two-wheelers.

Improved explanations for the proposal to clarify the requirements for CRS utilizing the seat belt lap strap in order to ensure correct installation and testing and to avoid possibly dangerous misinterpretation to the test configuration.

Presentation on the concerns addressed by the proposal to clarify the correct use of the seat-belt strap in the installation of a CRS in order to ensure proper testing for approvals (document GRSP/2017/13).

Proposal to clarify that seat belt components such as retractors shall not sustain damage during testing according to Annex 9 of UN R17. Presently, these components have occasionally been damaged during testing such that their functionality has been impaired. In order to ensure adequate occupant safety, this proposal would require all safety-belt components to be included in the test installation, clarifies that such damage is not acceptable, and requires post-test inspection.

CLEPA response to the presentation on the phase 1, 2, and 3 amendments to UN R126 (document GRSP-61-28) regarding the proposals for amendments to the 01 and 02 series of amendments and for the 03 series of amendments.
