Section Y, amend the quote of para. 7.3.1 in UN Regulation No. 155, to read:

…“7.3.1.The manufacturer shall have a valid Certificate of Compliance for the Cyber Security Management System relevant to the vehicle type being approved.
However, for type approvals first issued before 1 July 2024 and for each extension thereof, if the vehicle manufacturer can demonstrate that the vehicle type could not be developed in compliance with the CSMS, then the vehicle manufacturer shall demonstrate that cyber security was adequately considered during the development phase of the vehicle type concerned.”…

Section AB, amend the quote of para. 7.3.4 in UN Regulation No. 155, to read:
…“7.3.4.The vehicle manufacturer shall … another appropriate mitigation is implemented.
In particular, for type approvals first issued before 1 July 2024 and for each extension thereof, the vehicle manufacturer shall ensure that another appropriate mitigation is implemented if a mitigation measure referred to in Annex 5, Part B or C is technically not feasible. The respective assessment of the technical feasibility shall be provided by the manufacturer to the approval authority.”…
