Base text → Supplement 1
- What changed
- If the second seat row consists of a seat or seats permanently facing rearwards, paragraph 5.3.3. now disregards these seats.
- Then the requirement for at least one of the two ISOFIX positions systems applies to the first consecutive forward facing seat row, if available.
- Why
- The proposal aims to clarify the requirements for the location of ISOFIX systems in case the vehicle type is equipped with rearward facing seats.
- UN Regulation No. 145 seems to take only forward-facing seats into consideration, but this is nowhere stated.
Q1What changed1 change
Second seat row with seats permanently facing rearwards (para. 5.3.3.)
The first sentence stays: notwithstanding paragraph 5.3.1., at least one of the two ISOFIX positions systems must be installed at the second seat row. A new sentence covers a second seat row that consists of a seat or seats permanently facing rearwards. These seats are disregarded, and the requirement then applies to the first consecutive forward facing seat row, if available.

Where the second seat row can be turned or mounted in forward facing direction, it is right to have ISOFIX systems in these seats.

If the second seat row cannot be turned or mounted to face forward, the third row, if any, must have at least one ISOFIX system.

UN Regulation No. 129 defines rear seats as “fixed, forward-facing seats situated behind another group of vehicle seats”. UN Regulation No. 145 seems to take only forward-facing seats into consideration, but this is nowhere stated.
