Explore the scope

What does it cover?

UN R129 concerns approval of enhanced child restraint systems used in motor vehicles. Its scope distinguishes integral and non-integral systems, universal and vehicle-specific systems, and systems attached by ISOFIX or a seat belt. These distinctions determine which requirements and intended vehicle uses apply.

Who is it for?

Child-seat manufacturers, attachment-system developers and safety-testing teams.

Which subjects are addressed?

  • ISOFIX systems
  • Seat-belt-attached systems
  • Universal and vehicle-specific groups
  • Integral and non-integral systems

Common question

Does R129 cover only ISOFIX child seats?

No. Enhanced child restraints attached with a seat belt also appear as separate groups. Consider the product group and approved manner of use together.
