Revised version of the proposal to extend the scope of UN R129 to include non-Integral child restraint systems (“Universal Booster” or “Specific to vehicle Booster”) based upon document GRSP-56-09 as developed during the 49th CRS informal group session.

Copy of document GRSP-56-09 (to extend the scope of UN R129 to include non-Integral child restraint systems (“Universal Booster” or “Specific to vehicle Booster”)) for development during the 49th CRS informal group session.

Proposal to align the UN regulation on frontal impact (UN R94) with the proposed amendment to UN R46 that would enable the type approval of camera-monitor systems in place of rear-view mirrors. The proposal would have exterior CMS treated identically as exterior rear-view mirrors presently are under UN R94.

Proposal to align UN R94 with the draft amendment to add camera-monitor systems to UN R46 (i.e., document GRSG/2015/2). Under UN R94, the measurement for the 40% overlap between the vehicle and crash barrier excludes external rear-view mirrors. This proposal would extend the same treatment where the mirror has been replaced by an exterior camera.

Proposal to amend the bumper test area procedures under the pedestrian safety GTR.
This proposal includes the “bumper beam measurement” in the procedure.

Text prepared by the UN R44 Technical Services Group to clarify the regulation, including test failure parameters, CRS displacement or locking systems, seat installation color coding systems, and use of load limiting devices. The test procedure would be modified, including an increase in the applied load to exceed the maximum allowed resistance to permit sliding of the strap through the quick adjuster and through rigid parts, increased tolerances related thereto, deletion of the option for shorter shift (deemed unnecessary since it is a test on the strap, not on the complete component), and modification of drawings to improve consistency with the text.

Proposal to introduce a definition for “bucket seat” ( front passenger seat having a non-adjustable seat back) which would be exempt from the ISOFIX anchorage requirements. The proposal also exempts certain vehicle/seating configurations from ISOFIX requirements, addressing cases where the vehicle design and purpose mitigate against the use of such child restraints and ISOFIX systems.

Proposal to clarify dynamic testing, rear seat system, advanced restraint system approval, and transitional provisions under UN R16.

Proposal from the Informal Working Group on Frontal Impact to increase the stringency of the Thorax Compression Criterion (ThCC) for the Hybrid III 5th female dummy in the passenger seat to 34 mm under the proposed new regulation to test the performance of occupant restraint systems in the event of a frontal collision. The transition date would be 1 September 2020.

Proposal to amend the toxicity and flammability declarations via references to EN71 (European safety standards).

Draft new Regulation prepared by the Informal Working Group on Frontal Impact to establish uniform provisions for the approval of passenger cars with regard to their occupant-restraint system performance in the event of a frontal collision.

Proposal to expand the application area of the energy absorption criteria for seating in order to facilitate the optimization of seat-belt load limiters by allowing limited occupant contact with these seat areas.

Proposal to amend the regulation frontal impacts with a view towards the establishment of a new regulation on frontal impact testing for occupant restraint systems (full width rigid barrier test). The proposal increases the thorax compression criterion (ThCC) stringency to 42 mm (from 50 mm).
