Proposal to clarify and improve the belt routing and positioning of the universal child restraint system seat fixture during testing.

Proposal to clarify the installation requirements for N₃ vehicles for seating positions other than the front positions.

Proposal to insert provisions for vehicles equipped with manual airbag deactivation devices, especially to ensure that vehicles meet performance requirements regardless of the airbag activation setting and to specific requirements for airbag status reminders and telltales.

Proposal to to clarify the provisions for dynamic testing of rear seat system, advanced restraint system approval and transitional provisions prepared by the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA) in cooperation with France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands and the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA). This proposal supersedes GRSP/2015/18 and GRSP-58-35.

Proposal to introduce (i) a definition of flexible shoulder adjustment device for height, (ii) provisions for its testing and (iii) to define its strict field of installation for vehicle categories M2 and M3.

Hungary agrees with the proposed change to the airbag label, but recommends the addition of transitional provisions.

Proposal to introduce provisions for seat-belt reminders for all vehicle seating positions pursuant to the outcome of the Task Force on Seat-belt Reminders discussions.

Proposal to clarify the “Minimum requirements for safety-belts and Retractors” table in Annex 16.

Proposal drafted by OICA pursuant to cooperation among the EU, Consumers International, Governmental experts, Euro NCAP, OICA and CLEPA to restructure and simplify the consumer information requirements on the installation of ISOFIX child restraint systems under UN R16.

Working draft proposal to update UN R16 in accordance with the Phase 2 development of UN Regulation Nos. 44 and 129 on child restraint systems, especially with regard to the ISO booster-seat fixtures (B2 and B3).

Proposal to clarify and improve provisions for

1. the belt routing and positioning of the universal child restraint system seat fixture during testing;
2. dynamic testing of the rear seat system and advanced restraint system approval; and
3. to restructure and simplify the consumer information requirements on the installation of ISOFIX child restraint systems under UN R16.

Proposal to require seat-belt reminders for all seating positions, including rear positions, and to clarify the scope of the regulation.

Proposal for Appendix 5: Installation of booster seat fixtures. Addition of ISO/B2 and ISO/B3 booster seat fixtures.

Working draft proposal to update UN R16 in accordance with the Phase 2 development of UN Regulation Nos. 44 and 129 on child restraint systems, especially with regard to the ISO booster-seat fixtures (B2 and B3).

Proposal to amend document WP.29/2016/98. The proposal clarifies the subject of paragraph 12.1 and corrects an editorial error concerning the repetition of footnote 2 that exists already in Annex 1B to Regulation 16.

Proposal to add new CRS fixtures and otherwise align UN R16 with changes introduced through UN R129 (enhanced child restraint systems). Two “Booster Seat” fixtures (ISO/B2 and ISO/B3) were added to UN R16 to coincide with the implementation of Phase 2 of UN R129. These fixtures were developed within ISO/TC 22/SC 36/WG 2 (Child Restraint Systems) and follow the principle already established in Regulations 16 and 129 to ensure child restraint to car compatibility. An additional “Reduced-Size Rearward Facing toddler CRS” fixture (ISO/R2x) was added to facilitate compatibility in small cars/seating positions. The ISO/B2 booster seat fixture was added in the i-Size concept. Lateral facing fixtures (ISO/L1 and ISO/L2) have been upgraded.

Proposal to update the 07 series of amendments in line with UN R129 and changes to the 06 series (Supplements 8 and 9). Two “Booster Seat” fixtures (ISO/B2 and ISO/B3) were added to UN R16 to coincide with the implementation of Phase 2 of UN Regulation No. 129. These fixtures were developed within ISO/TC 22/SC 36/WG 2 (Child Restraint Systems) and follow the principle already established in Regulations 16 and 129 to ensure child restraint to car compatibility. An additional “Reduced-Size Rearward Facing toddler CRS” fixture (ISO/R2x) was added to facilitate compatibility in small cars/seating positions.

Working draft of document GRSP/2016/24 pursuant to the 61st CRS informal group session

Proposal from OICA to harmonize the mass tolerances of the ISO CRS fixtures and provide for transitional provisions.

This informal doc amends the draft supplement presented in document GRSP/2016/24 in order to harmonize the mass tolerances of the ISO fixtures. The proposal deletes a reference to the center of gravity and geometrical centroid. The centroid would need more information before choosing tolerances needed for certification tests.

This informal doc amends the draft supplement presented in document GRSP/2016/21 in order to harmonize the mass tolerances of the ISO fixtures. The proposal deletes a reference to the center of gravity and geometrical centroid. The centroid would need more information before choosing tolerances needed for certification tests.

The current paragraph 15.6 foresees that, for type approval to the 07 series, safety belt reminders are not compulsory until 1 September 2022 on the exempted seats (e.g. seat rows with a suspension seat). In the absence of any clarification for the case of extensions of type approvals, paragraph 15.6 of UN R16.07 could create interpretation problems when a previously granted approval for an exempted vehicle needs to be extended after 1 September 2022. As previously agreed by GRSP, this proposal would clarify that the new SBR requirements would be applicable only for new type approvals as from 1 September 2022, such that previously granted approvals would remain accepted, with their exemption.

Proposal to correct figure 2 in Annex 1B to show the referenced zones A and B, to add sentence “Non-rigid material of < 50 Shore A hardness may be removed in order to demonstrate that covered or padded rigid parts are not contacted by the head or the chest of the manikin during the test.”, and to make editorial improvements.
