  3. Draft Terms of Reference Initial discussions based upon: WP.29 Proposals: Japan - ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2008/76 US - ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2008/115

  4. Draft Terms of Reference • Head restraint height. • To address minor whiplash injuries (MAIS 1) that occur in low speed rear impact crashes (ΔV ≤ 18 km/h) • To address: - minor whiplash injuries (MAIS 1) and, - the more severe whiplash injuries (MAIS 2 and MAIS 3) that occur at higher speed rear impact crashes (ΔV ≥ 18 km/h),

  5. Draft Terms of Reference (a) Define test conditions that reflect accidents in the real world, including the performance of seat backs and head restraints as a system; (b) Clarify the theories on the mechanism of whiplash injury in order to identify which of them better reflects reality; (c) Evaluate dummies that reflect the above mechanism with high fidelity to the human body and which demonstrates a high level of perfection as a measuring instrument; (d) Evaluate indicators of human body injury that reflect the whiplash mechanism; (e) Define reference values which should be based on the results of injury risk analysis and feasibility studies.

  6. Recommendations • Research and scientific guidance is needed in order to respond to the draft terms of reference. • Co-ordination of the various research initiatives is desirable to facilitate development of the regulatory proposal. • Setting a timetable for delivery is premature and this should be done following determination of the scientific agenda. • WP29 should be asked to allow the informal group to propose a time table following the May 2009 session of GRSP.
