Working draft proposal to:

• Establish harmonized methods to determine in-vehicle battery durability performance of heavy-duty pure electric vehicles and heavy-duty off-vehicle charging hybrid electric vehicles,
• Introduce State-of-Certified-Energy monitors that estimate battery health throughout vehicle lifetime,
• Define minimum performance requirements for battery durability in an optional annex,
• Establish test procedures for usable battery energy determination via test track driving, on-road driving, bidirectional power supply systems, or chassis dynamometer testing,
• Implement a two-part in-use verification process verifying monitor accuracy and battery durability compliance through statistical sampling,
• Collect field data to inform future revisions of performance requirements.

Draft proposal to:

• Introduce requirements for State-of-Certified Energy and State-of-Certified Range monitors that operate for the full lifetime of vehicles,
• Set minimum performance requirements for battery durability expressed as SOCE values of 80 percent at 5 years or 100,000 km and 70 percent at 8 years or 160,000 km for categories 1-1 and 1-2, and 75 percent and 65 percent respectively for category 2 vehicles,
• Establish a two-part in-use verification process with Part A verifying monitor accuracy through statistical method on minimum 3 vehicles and Part B verifying battery durability through remote collection of on-board values from sample of at least 500 vehicles with pass decision requiring 90 percent or more of values above MPR,
• Introduce Part C verification of reported virtual distance for V2X applications with pass/fail decision based on statistical procedure with maximum 4 vehicles.

Proposal to insert a new introduction section accounting for vehicles of categories X and Y equipped with an Automated Driving System (ADS), amend footnote 1 to reference the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3.), document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.8, and amend para. 6.1.5. to clarify that the exemption for sensors and driver assistance systems does not apply to vehicles of categories X and Y or automated driving systems unless the ADS performance of the Designated Driving Task is not affected.

Agenda for the 22nd session of the CLIV IWG, scheduled for 22 October 2026. The session will address opening remarks, introduction of new members, adoption of the agenda, recap of the France 21st meeting session, discussion on the 00 series for a door logic regulation, definition and discussion on indirect plus and direct systems and their effectiveness, justification and explanation for the GRSP formal document UN Regulation, and any other business.

The document outlines the process for developing UN R40.03. It specifies that EPPR7302 (IMMA) draft proposal for UN R40.03 should serve as the basis for discussions and drafting of regulatory texts and provisions. Comments should be submitted in advance, preferably one week before the meeting. Regulatory texts and provisions will be discussed and drafted based on comments and proposals submitted before or during the meeting.

Draft agenda for the first session of the Task Force on the 03 series of amendments to UN R40, scheduled for 9 October 2026. The session will include welcome remarks, introduction of participants, adoption of the draft agenda, and introduction of the Task Force establishment proposal. IMMA will present an overview of the 02 series of amendments based on UN GTR No. 2. The Task Force Co-Chairs will introduce a proposal on conducting discussions on the 03 series, addressing the regulation progressively with Co-Chairs defining specific sections for analysis at each meeting. The basis for discussions is the draft R40.03 submitted by IMMA. Future Task Force sessions are scheduled before EPPR sessions in November 2026, January 2027, February 2027, and June 2027.

Proposal to improve and correct the procedure for laboratory measurement of brake emissions for light-duty vehicles of categories M₁ and N₁. The regulation establishes requirements for brake particle emission testing including test setup, the WLTP-Brake cycle test procedure, cooling air adjustment, brake bedding, and emissions measurement sections. Compliance is demonstrated through brake corner emission family testing with PM₁₀ and SPN₁₀ measurements. Conformity of production is verified through periodic sampling and statistical evaluation. Type approval requires demonstration that whole vehicle brake emissions calculated from individual axle emissions multiplied by friction braking share coefficients do not exceed limits of 3 mg/km PM₁₀ for M₁ and N₁ vehicles and 5 mg/km for N₁ Class III and N₂ vehicles.
