This part of ISO/TS 22239 specifies a child seat presence detection system that enables child seats placed on any passenger seats to be automatically detected where a child is at risk from an active airbag. The system provides the option of using additional information about the orientation of the child seat.

This part of ISO/TS 22239 describes the main system functionality, and provides design recommendations and requirements, compatibility measurements and labelling requirements.

Compliance with the requirements of this part of ISO/TS 22239 ensures compatibility between child seat presence and orientation detection system (CPOD) child seats and CPOD passenger seats.

ISO/TS 22239 applies only to child restraint systems in which the child is orientated in the forward or rearward driving direction.

NOTE 1 Throughout this part of ISO/TS 22239, the term “child seat” is used as an abbreviation of “CPOD child seat”.

NOTE 2 Throughout this part of ISO/TS 22239, the term “passenger seat” is used as an abbreviation of “CPOD-equipped passenger seat”.
