UN R129: Proposal for Supplement 5 to the 02 series of amendments
Proposal to
- introduce new and modified labeling and to clarify packaging information to distinguish between forward-facing-only, rear-facing-only, and convertible CRS in order to reduce the risk of users misusing these enhanced CRS
- clarify that assessment of the DE plane only applies to rearward-facing Child Restraint Systems (CRS) in UN Regulation No. 44 and therefore does not apply to forward-facing child restraints that maintain structure of the child restraint behind the head of the dummy
- specify the dimensions of the approval number
- correct the term “Regulation No. 129-02” to “UN Regulation No. 129/02”
- change the 145 cm stature of the Specific Vehicle Booster seat to the 150 cm stature as this is the upper limit, and
- modify the approval markings for consistency between technical services and approval authorities and between the labels of products approved under the 02 and 03 series.
