43. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2022/14, to clarify the scope of the UN Regulation and to complement the text with the missing Supplement 7 to the original version of UN Regulation No. 116. GRSG adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2022/14, with the deletion of the amendment to paragraph 1. from the proposal. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal as draft Supplement 3 to the original version of UN Regulation No. 161 (Devices against unauthorized use), for consideration and vote at the November 2022 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1.

44. GRSG considered GRSG-123-19, tabled by the expert from OICA to update the reference to UN Regulation No. 10 (amendments to UN Regulations Nos. 161 and 162) (see paragraph 21 above) and agreed to resume consideration on a new proposal at its October 2022 session.

45. The expert from Germany raised the issue of range definition and provisions for keyless devices. The expert from the Netherlands reminded GRSG that the short-range device provisions had been removed, so that unlimited range seemed allowed on digital keys. He therefore proposed a task force on the issue. The expert from OICA explained that the technology of traditionally keyless systems did not allow an exact positioning of the key, so that a range definition would exit the technology. She added that for this technology other provisions are available to prevent theft attacks (attacks as for example range extension of a car-key in a house to outreach the car parked in the nearby garage). She concluded that such provisions could be (list not exhaustive): motion sensor to stop the transmission when key was not in motion and switch on the key to stop the transmission. The GRSG Chair invited interested parties to contact the expert from Germany to coordinate solutions to be proposed at the October 2022 session of GRSG.
