| As the first of a series of Global Technical
Regulations (GTRs) concerning vehicle safety and environment, which
are to be established under the 1998 Agreement, Global Technical
Regulation Concerning Door Locks and Door Retention Components was
adopted at the 134th session of the World Forum for the Harmonization
of Vehicle Regulations (WP29) (Geneva, November 16-19, 2004).
Global Technical Regulation Concerning Door Locks and Door Retention
Components is a technical standard that specifies strength and
other requirements of door latches and hinges to help prevent
passengers from being ejected completely or partially from their
vehicles due to door openings during a crash.
JASIC has been actively involved in GTR drafting activities at
WP29 by such means as sending representatives, mostly its Impact
Absorption Subcommittee members, to the informal meetings, and
is determined to continue its vigorous efforts in future activities
for global harmonization of vehicle regulations.
