Proposal to add replacement brake components for L₆ and L₇ (quadricycles) to the regulation, to correct references, and to clarify the text. This proposal aligns UN R90 with UN R78 (motorcycle braking).

Proposal from Spain on behalf of the Technical Services Group (TSG) on UN R129 to require that the shoulder strap positioner, if any, and the buckle open independently of each other in order to satisfy the requirement that the buckle can be opened by a single action. Currently, if the shoulder strap positioner has not been opened, it is possible that the buckle cannot be opened.

Proposal from Spain on behalf of the Technical Services Group (TSG) on UN R129 to restrict iSize booster seats (Non-integral Enhanced Child Restraint Systems) to occupants with a maximum stature of 135 cm in order to satisfy the plug and play principle. Presently, UN R129 would allow for approval of such CRS for children up to 150 cm.

Proposal from Spain on behalf of the Technical Services Group (TSG) on UN R129 to allow the head of the dummy to pass the DE plane provided there is a structure (e.g., head pad or backrest) that provides adequate protection for the head. Under UN R129, the combination of a stiffer test bench foam and the design of the test dummy can mean that when testing forward-facing child restraints (including boosters), the dummy’s head often passes the DE plane. The Q-series dummies are not proven to be biofidelic during the rebound phase of the impact test. In such cases, the head pad or backrest provides protection to the child’s head and the energy-absorption properties of this structure will have been tested using the test method described in UN Regulation No. 129.

Proposal to align the text in Annex 7 with UN R78 and to insert the reference to the L₆ and L₇ vehicle categories to respond to requests from the industry for type approval for the replacement brake lining assembly for these vehicles.

Proposal to 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.

Explanatory notes related to formal documents GRSP/2018/ 19 through 22 (superseded by informal documents GRSP-64-02 to GRSP-64-05) submitted by Spain for the 63rd GRSP session.

Proposal to modify the approval markings:

• specify the dimensions of the approval number
• update i-Size universal ISOFIX, Specific Vehicle ISOFIX, i-Size Booster seat and Specific Vehicle Booster seat numbering (omitted in WP29-2018-045)
• rearrange the dimensions mark for arrangements of the approval mark where used in combination with the module mark
• change the 145 cm stature of the Specific Vehicle Booster seat to 150 cm stature as this is the correct upper limit.

Proposal to 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. Combinations of approval marks can be made as long as the categories are able to be combined (category-wise as given in paragraph 3.2.2 and as long as it is one approval number). By combining approval marks, space on the Enhanced Child Restraint can be saved and more space is available for clear installation and use instructions. The current layout of the module label in UN R129.02 is technically impossible because the example provides a rectangular shape, with the module and base placed next to each other and joined with a plus mark while the given symbols are on top of each other and joined with an arrow mark.

Explanation of informal documents GRSP-64-07 to -09 regarding the rearrangement of approval markings.

Proposal to specify that, in the case of an infant carrier, the dummy shall be restrained in the Enhanced Child Restraint System before it is installed on the test bench.

Proposal to specify the dimensions of the approval number, correct term from " Regulation No. 129-02" to “UN Regulation No. 129/02”, and change the 145 cm stature of the Specific Vehicle Booster seat to the 150 cm stature as this is the upper limit.
