UN R114 — Supplement 1 to the 00 series of amendments
Base text → Supplement 1
- What changed
- Annex 8 no longer contains the “H” point and actual torso angle procedure; a new footnote refers to Addendum 6 of M.R.1.
- Annex 8 lists only the titles of Appendices 1 to 3; their old text and figures are deleted.
- The footnote to paragraph 4.1.4.1. now refers to Annex 3 to R.E.3 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.7) for the numbers of the Contracting Parties.
- Why
- The specifications of the 3-D H machine were updated and moved from R.E.3 to M.R.1.

- The references to R.E.3 are updated to its latest amendment, Revision 7.
Q1What changed117 changes
Annex 8 refers to M.R.1 for the “H” point procedure
New footnote 1 in Annex 8 says that Addendum 6 of Mutual Resolution No. 1 (M.R.1), document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1101/Amend.5, describes the procedure. The definitions, requirements and steps in Annex 8 to find the “H” point and the actual torso angle are deleted. Deleted paragraph 3.2.2. accepted an “H” point within a 50 mm square, with horizontal and vertical sides, whose diagonals intersect at the “R” point. The actual torso angle also had to be within 5° of the design torso angle. A deleted footnote covered seating positions other than front seats where the “H” point cannot be determined with the 3-D H machine or procedures. For these positions, the “R” point indicated by the manufacturer could be taken as a reference at the discretion of the competent authority.
Text of Appendices 1 to 3 of Annex 8 deleted
Annex 8 now lists only the titles of Appendices 1, 2 and 3. The old text and figures of these appendices are deleted. These appendices described the 3-D H machine, the three-dimensional reference system and the reference data for seating positions. Footnotes with references to SAE, ISO Standard 6549-1980 and ISO 4130 :1978 are also deleted.
Footnote 1 to paragraph 4.1.4.1. refers to R.E.3
Footnote 1 to paragraph 4.1.4.1. now says that the distinguish numbers of the Contracting Parties are in Annex 3 to R.E.3, document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.7. Before this supplement, the footnote listed the numbers from 1 for Germany to 48 for New Zealand.
