The UN World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) enables governments to cooperate internationally in developing vehicle regulations concerning safety, environmental performance, and energy efficiency.
GlobalAutoRegs is a technical resource for members of the regulatory affairs community interested in this international collaboration.
| GTR 25: Work-in-progress draft Amendment 2 |
| Reference Number: EVE-101-03 |
|
Proposal to establish a new Amendment to UN Global Technical Regulation No. 25 on in-vehicle battery durability for electrified heavy-duty vehicles. The GTR provides harmonized methods to determine battery durability performance of HD-PEVs and HD-OVC-HEVs, including requirements for State of Certified Energy (SOCE) monitors, minimum performance requirements expressed as SOCE values at specific vehicle lifetime points, and in-use verification procedures with Parts A and B to verify monitor accuracy and battery durability compliance respectively. The document includes test procedures for usable battery energy determination via driving on test tracks, road driving, bidirectional power supply systems, or chassis dynamometer testing, family definitions for monitor and battery durability verification, vehicle survey requirements, and data collection specifications. |

| AI Management System: Bridging the Gap Between AI and Current Open Norms |
| Reference Number: AI-12-23 |
|
Presentation proposing an AI Management System (AIMS) as a complementary organizational layer to existing safety, cybersecurity, and software update management systems. AIMS would regulate AI through organizational processes rather than technical requirements, covering data lifecycle, model development, verification and validation, change control, and operational monitoring. The system is technology-neutral, lifecycle-based, and aligned with industry standards including ISO 26262, ISO 21448, and ISO/IEC 42001, avoiding the need for product-specific AI test procedures and re-approval of model updates. |

| AEBS Avoidance Speeds in Euro NCAP 2023/2024/2025 Methodology |
| Reference Number: AEBS2-04-03 |
|
Document presents Euro NCAP test methodology for passenger cars using increasing speeds up to 50 km/h for stationary vehicle targets with nominal and offset impacts, and up to 60 km/h for crossing pedestrian targets at 25% and 75% impact positions. Each test run generates individual scores with no requirement for specific avoidance speeds. Results indicate all tested cars avoided full overlap collisions up to 50 km/h relative speed over the last three years, and majority of recently tested vehicles should avoid crossing pedestrian accidents up to 60 km/h daytime and 50 km/h nighttime, though results are not directly transferable due to different testing methods. |

| Improving AEBS Regulations: Evidence from Market-Surveillance Safety Vehicle Testing |
| Reference Number: AEBS2-04-02 |
|
JRC proposes three amendments to UN R152 and UN R131: increase crash avoidance speed to 50 km/h for all scenarios (car-to-car, car-to-pedestrian, car-to-bicycle); increase offset to 50% overlap; and discuss adding standing still pedestrian and bicycle scenarios. Evidence from market-surveillance testing shows current systems already meet the 50 km/h requirement in nearly every test and perform well at 50% overlap. Urban speed limits in 75.9% of R152 applying parties are 50 km/h baseline. Approximately 22% of relevant M1 crashes involved less than 50% overlap. |

| Status of discussions on a new UNR on CLIV for passenger cars |
| Reference Number: CLIV-22-06 |
|
Discussion of the 00 series of UN Regulation on Child Presence Detection Systems for passenger cars, focusing on development of Door Logic Plus concept. Door Logic Plus is defined as a system that improves performance by adding sensors to base door logic, reducing false detections and detection accuracy. The document presents comparative analysis of direct sensing and indirect sensing approaches, including pure door logic with external warning, door logic plus with buckle switch, and door logic plus with occupancy sensor. Additional time needed to develop Door Logic Plus concept and prepare proposal for documentary assessment procedure; proposes different test procedures for direct and indirect sensing systems. |
