  2. Extended Mandate • The IWG asks GRSP to extend the mandate until the end of 2014 • Draft regulation for phase 2 (May 2013) • Development of transitional provision to withdraw ISOFIX application from ECE R44 (December 2013) • Draft regulation for phase 3 (May 2014) 52nd GRSP Session 11 – 14 December 2012

  3. Meetings • 06 June 2012 at OICA – Paris • 30 August 2012 at ACEA – Brussels • 10 October 2012 at EC – Brussels • 22 November 2012 at EC – Brussels • 29 January 2013 at OICA – Paris * • 28 February 2013 at CLEPA – Brussels • 18 April 2013 at SMMT – London 52nd GRSP Session 11 – 14 December 2012

  4. Dummies Meetings • 25 October 2012 Webex meeting • *29 January 2013 at OICA – Paris IWG CRS special meeting dedicated to Q10 52nd GRSP Session 11 – 14 December 2012

  5. Phase 2 & 3 philosophy • Child is restrained by the belt system of the vehicle • Different categories for Booster seat & Booster cushion • With ISOFIX • Alignment • Misuse • Without ISOFIX • Similar to Current Universal • ISOFIX could be a Sub-category, class, ..

  6. i-Size name • Based on size of the child • Based on “plug and play principle” on i-size ready positions • i-Size position / i-Size vehicle

  7. Phase 2 • Phase 2 is already underway • Non-integral CRS • Booster seats (up to 1,35 m) • Booster cushion (between 1,35 m and 1,5 m) • ISOFIX, simplified ISOFIX, no ISOFIX ? • Belt routing • geometric approach • Belt guidance • mechanical robustness control 52nd GRSP Session 11 – 14 December 2012

  8. Tasks • Aligment data • New i-Size gabarit influence • Efficiency of ISOFIX connectors (rigid) • ISO definition of vehicle / booster interface Definition of interface between Child dummies and standard belt routing as defined by the 5th % female dummy • 3D points for belt routing on 5th%

  9. Work on progress • Child Dummy Subgroup • Validation of the drawing packages for Q0, Q1, Q1,5, Q3 dummies • Child Dummies definition for Q6 and Q10 • A Q10 production version is currently under development • Addressing issues raised in EPOCh and third party testing programs • Items needing decision from Stakeholders: • Belt penetration in pelvis thigh groin • Belt – suit interaction • Side impact performance • Injury thresholds • Abdominal sensor • Solutions (not affecting development of production version dummy): • Belt penetration dealt with using hip shields • Belt slip occurred after introducing Cordura layer in suit • For side impact a kit consisting of minimal number of parts under investigation • Injury thresholds proposed by EPOCh to be further evaluated • Abdominal sensor: research item which should not affect abdominal behavior • Need decision making on issues by group like EEVC WG12 or alternative 52nd GRSP Session 11 – 14 December 2012
