120. The expert from the Netherlands presented GRVA-15-29 introducing ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2023/4, an amendment proposal to UN Regulation No. 78 aimed at inserting requirements for Complex Electronic Control Systems and aligned with those for passenger cars. He recalled the context of the proposal tabled, following the adoption of brake light activation criteria for automatically commanded braking functions at the last session. He announced that the alignment (GRVA-15-41) of the proposed text with those developed for UN Regulation No. 13 would be performed in a second step.

121. The expert from United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland presented GRVA-15-41, proposing amendments to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2023/4 and aimed at introducing the new provisions for the audit of electronic control systems that have been developed for UN Regulation No. 13 and its Annex 18 (see GRVA-15-08).
