Document lists one candidate nominated for WP.29 Chair and six candidates nominated for WP.29 Vice-Chair, with their names and nationalities. The election is scheduled for Wednesday, 18 November starting at 14:30 in Room XII.

Draft working document describing nine common concepts for managing AI risks in automotive regulated products: risk-informed lifecycle approaches, intended purpose and operational assumptions, building upon established sectoral engineering practices, traceability and documentation, data as a safety-relevant engineering artefact, confidence through multiple sources of evidence, organizational capacity and governance, continuous monitoring and improvement, and assurance arguments. The document presumes that existing regulations and established automotive safety engineering practices remain applicable where AI is part of a regulated product, and management of AI risks builds upon those regulations and practices.

This document provides the informal schedule and running order for the 200th session of WP.29, to be held in-person in Room XII from 17 to 20 November 2026. It outlines the timing and agenda items for each day, including adoption of the agenda, coordination of work, consideration of reports, 1958 Agreement discussions, AC.1 and AC.3 voting, election of officers, monitoring of the 1998 Agreement, progress on UN GTRs, 1997 Agreement items, and adoption of the report. The schedule may be adjusted during the session depending on progress of work.

Report on the secure internet database for exchanging approval documentation between Contracting Parties of the 1958 Agreement. Forty-one Contracting Parties have notified their DETA Focal Point. Approximately 153,300 approvals have been uploaded by 23 Technical Approval Authorities, with approximately 8,700 manufacturers uploaded. Twenty manufacturers and four Technical Services have access to DETA. Migration to a new software version is underway with internal and external testing. New features include two-factor authentication, mailing and notification functions, additional languages, and easier administrator adaptations.

Guidance document for approval authorities on using DETA to implement UN Regulation No. 155. Notifying authorities shall upload cyber security information as PDF files no later than 14 days before granting a first-time approval, complete mandatory fields including approval number and date, and send a notification message to other authorities via DETA. Other approval authorities may submit comments within 14 days of notification by email and DETA message. Notifying authorities shall upload received comments to DETA without undue delay. These procedures apply before first-time approvals and each time assessment methods or criteria are updated.

Proposal to establish terms of reference and rules of procedure for the new IWG on EDR, successor to the IWG on EDR/DSSAD. The proposal would mandate the IWG to develop a draft proposal for EDR for automated/autonomous vehicles to be incorporated in UN R160 and UN R169, and to explore future amendments to UN R160 and UN R169 improving usefulness of EDR data, including data survivability during post-crash fires, improved triggering sensitivity, and extension of data elements and data format. The IWG would report to GRSG, reach decisions by consensus, and coordinate with the IWG on ADS2 on matters of common interest.

Agenda for the 11th meeting of the Informal Working Group on Digital Data and Digital Work Station (IWG-DDADWS), to be held online on 23 November 2026. The meeting will cover approval of previous session minutes and the current agenda, industry feedback on proposal documents from Meeting 10, next steps and drafting text for UN R182 01 series regulation, and future meeting dates.
