The document provides follow-up information from the SLR 77th session. SLR-77-06/Rev.1 corrects errors and omissions in Reg. 150 and will supersede GRE-94-02, potentially merged with the proposal deleting UI in R150-01 for WP.29 submission in November 2026. Four baseline documents for Stage 2/Step 2 work (SLR-77-08/Rev.1, SLR-77-09, SLR-77-10, SLR-77-07 for Regs. 48, 53, 74, 86 respectively) will be submitted to GRE-94 with presentation slides. SLR agreed to keep Par. 6.21 on conspicuity marking and to renumber paragraphs 5.5 to 5.36. Old transitional provisions are documented separately. Apparent surface definition will replace light-emitting surface. Direction indicator visibility requires further study. Harmonisation text prohibits non-mentioned lamps unless compliant with national requirements. Eleven informal documents will be submitted to GRE-94.
Proposal to amend, restructure, and clarify UN R86:
This presentation analyzes RD-ASEP model performance using test run data from Annex_9_test_runs where both left and right sound were measured. Current model shows 1.3% of measurements above L_exp; without the 2 dB margin this increases to 8.4%. Model overestimates at low speeds and underestimates at higher accelerations. Tyre rolling sound parameters have most influence on results and dominate most of the data set. Optimizing all 13 parameters reduces mean absolute error from 2.1 to 1.1 dB. More high acceleration measurements are needed to reliably calibrate the dynamic component.
The draft provisional agenda for the December 2026 session includes adoption of the agenda; UN Global Technical Regulations No. 1, No. 13, and No. 20; children left in vehicles including a new UN Regulation and request for authorization to develop a new UN Global Technical Regulation; UN Regulations No. 11, No. 17, No. 21, No. 22, No. 95, No. 100, No. 127, No. 129, No. 134, and No. 170; collective amendments to UN Regulations that impact automated vehicles; Mutual Resolution No. 1; equitable occupant protection; and other business items including exchange of information on passive safety, UN Regulation No. 0, vehicle automation, software updates, airbags and pyrotechnic systems, child restraint systems, bus frontal protection, and election of officers.
The Informal Working Group on Emergency Door Opening (IWG-EDO) will develop amendments to UN Regulations Nos. 11 and 21 and request authorization to amend UN GTR No. 1 and UN GTR No. 14, with a draft for submission to GRSP’s 80th session. In a second step, it will develop amendments for further post-crash extrication requirements for UN Regulations Nos. 94, 95, 135 and 137 and UN GTR No. 1 and 14, with a draft for submission to GRSP’s 82nd session. The group will be chaired by Germany with the Republic of Korea as Vice-Chair and OICA providing the Secretariat.
Proposal to amend para. 2.1. to define “appropriate adaptor” as specified by the CHSS manufacturer and clarify container valve and end plug components, amend paras. 5.1.1., 5.1.2., 5.2., 9.2.1., 9.2.3.2. and Annex 3 para. 2.1. to specify that connections between supply lines for additional TPRDs and appropriate adaptors meet test requirements and are within scope, delete “hydraulic” in para. 9.2.1. to permit gas as test option, and amend Annex 3 para. 5.1. to remove reference to appropriate adaptors for fire testing.
Australia proposes examining the case to bring UN R95 in line with Euro NCAP by establishing an ad-hoc group of interested experts to consider a more representative test barrier and dummy, allow flexibility to update Euro NCAP protocols, further consider alternative or additional equitable dummy choice and addition of a near-side rear occupant to UN R95, and examine more advanced barriers with improved dummy bio-fidelity and alternative injury assessment.
