Updated presentation from the previous informal group meeting (GTR7-08) of December 2011 on the development of new procedures to ensure effectiveness of headrest protection for taller occupants (e.g., when headrest set at maximum height).

Comparison of FMVSS 202a, GTR 7 (Annex 1) and Netherlands-proposed height measurement procedure (per the December 2011 presentation).

Overview of Japanese research and conclusions regarding the reduction of minor neck injuries during rear-end impacts.

Expanded review of J-MLIT,JASIC, and JARI research into the Inter-Vertebral Neck Injury Criterion (IV-NIC) as part of collobarative investigations with the USA.

OICA/CLEPA presentation supporting the use a of head-restraint measuring device (HRMD) to enhance GTR 7 test procedures.

Draft report on the activities of the technical evaluation group developing certification procedures for the BioRID II dummy.

Extensive presentation on the results of investigations into BioRID seat test responses compared against certification results, in particular with regard to repeatability and reproducibility.

Presentation on the results of investigations designed to measure quasi-static spine stiffnesses and performance of the BioRID II dummy.

In 2010 calibration tests without headrest （see document GTR7-06-06）, the waveform configurations of the 095G dummy were different from those of the 102G dummy and the 115G dummy. This presentation, updated from the GTR7-8 session, provides the results of investigations into this difference.

Faurecia presentation of the ADSEAT project, an EU initiative to provide guidance on how to evaluate the protective performance of vehicle seat designs aiming to reduce the incidence of whiplash-associated injuries.

Results of BioRID-II dummy calibration tests with headrest conducted using heavy and light probe weights to evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of the dummy responses.

Presentation on the results of testing to compare the responses of the BioRID II with those of the Hybrid III when subjected to FMVSS 202a and Modified Annex 9 rear impact pulses using OEM vehicle seats.

In 2010 calibration tests without headrest （see document GTR7-06-06）, the waveform configurations （phase shift） of the 095G dummy were different from those of the 102G dummy and the 115G dummy. This presentation provides the results of investigations into this difference.

UK and USA proposal for a new WP.29 document that would maintain specifications for test tools and devices used in UN Regulations and GTR. The resolution would permit a streamlining of references to test devices prescribed in the regulations.

Form for noting the results of voting on the amendment to the GTR on door locks.

Presentation of the results of 14 inverse certification tests carried out with the FlexPLI test tool SN04 at BASt.

Draft agenda for the third meeting of the informal expert group working on second phase development of the global technical regulation on pedestrian safety (development of the Flex-PLI test tool).

Draft of the report to be submitted to the Working Party on Passive Safety concerning the further development of the GTR on pedestrian safety towards introduction of the Flex-PLI test tool.

User manual prepared for the FlexPLI lower legform impactor test tool under development for use in the second phase development of the GTR on pedestrian safety.

Revised presentation on the anticipated benefits from use of the Flex-PLI test tool in GTR 9. This improves upon the earlier submission (document GTR9-1-07-Rev1).

Detailed presentation on Japan’s testing of FlexPLI performance.
