59. The expert from CEMA presented GRVA-14-33, detailing the standardization activities and corresponding timeline of the agricultural vehicle industry regarding cyber security and software updates. He clarified, upon request by the expert from the United States of America, that his delegation would support the establishment of a new working group to deal with this issue.
60. The expert from Italy supported the process and activities presented by CEMA. The expert from Germany agreed to review the document prepared by CEMA. The expert from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland noted that the deliverables of the IWG on Cyber Security (CS) and Over the Air (OTA) issues were very generic, i.e. risk assessment-based requirements and felt that waiting until the standardization process was completed would be too long. The expert from Canada confirmed that the work of the Group was general enough to encompass agricultural vehicles and explained that he was not convinced that there would be many other requirements that the IWG on CS/OTA should review.
61. GRVA noted that some delegations needed more time to consider the CEMA proposal. GRVA encouraged CEMA to liaise with the IWG on CS/OTA. GRVA agreed to keep GRVA-14-33 and GRVA-14-34 on its agenda for the January 2023 session.
