Review of work towards adapting and/or approving certain UN Regulations for use within the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval regulation.

WP.29 adoption of the new IWVTA regulation (UN Regulation No. 0) is anticipated for March 2017 with an entry-into-force the following October. This initial regulation (00 series of amendments) will include UN Regulations as they stand prior to September 2, 2017. However, a number of these regulations contain transitional provisions such that new versions will enter into force during the 12 months following this cut-off date. Therefore, this document proposes a list of such regulations that would be included in the 01 series of amendments to UN R0 to be submitted for adoption by WP.29 in November 2017. In concept, UN R0 would be updated with these “upgraded” versions of the UN Regulations.

Proposal to limit the use of a booster cushion (booster seat without backrest) with children of a stature greater than 125 cm (i.e., prohibit use of booster cushion for children under 125 cm) and the application for type approval of such CRS only in mass Group III for children of mass from 22 kg to 36 kg and to clarify that a guide strap which constrains the shoulder strap of the adult seat belt in a position to suit the child in a child restraint system cannot be approved as a separate CRS under UN R44.

Proposal to define provisions for “Integral” and “Non-Integral” Enhanced Child Restraint Systems (ECRS). “Integral” refers to systems where the child is restrained only by components which comprise the ECRS (e.g. strap harness, impact shield, etc.), and not by means connected directly to the vehicle (e.g. adult seat belt). “Non-Integral”, then, refers to systems where the child is retained by use of the adult seat belt connected directly to the vehicle. This proposal represents “Phase 1” in the development of UN R129.

Proposal to correct a reference in UN R134, Annex 3, paragraph 3.4. The reference to paragraph 6.2.2.2. was transposed from GTR No. 13; however, it ostensibly refers paragraph 2.2 of Annex 3 in UN R134.

Amendment to the proposals (GRSP/2016/3, GRSP/2016/5, and GRSP/2016/6) to amend the toxicity and flammability declarations via references to EN 71 (European safety standards), taking into account procedures of FMVSS 302. The amendments propose the burning rate values of FMVSS 302 (302.4 inches/102 mm per minute), to harmonize the three proposals with regard to EN standards references, and to incorporate the amendment 1 to EN 71-3 (A1:2014).
