Session agenda for the 100th meeting of the Electric Vehicles and the Environment Informal Working Group on 13 October 2026. The agenda covers status reports and presentations on UN GTR 22, UN GTR 21, and UN GTR 25, with discussion of Euro 7 review clause, readiness monitoring, and regulatory topics including MPRs, energy throughput, and Part C virtual distance verification.
Analysis of door opening warning systems (DOWS) fitted in 150 independently rated Euro NCAP models from 2023–2026. DOWS is offered in 87% of models (67% as standard, 19% as option), with 13% unavailable. Systems vary widely in capability, from information-only functions to door retention, with some not enabled by default. Harmonised minimum requirements aligned with the Euro NCAP dooring test would build on systems already on the market.
Proposal to amend paragraph 5.10 of the Russian version to clarify provisions on the protection of the tank according to collision references for tank integrity, aligning the Russian version with the English and French versions.
Proposal to amend the table in para. 5.1. to add rows for battery master switch de-energizing electrical systems, thermal shield for endurance braking system, electric power train, vehicle endurance braking, hydrogen fuel cell, and tyre pressure monitoring system; amend para. 5.1.1.8. to 5.1.1.8.2. to modify de-energizing electrical circuits systems requirements and add control device requirements for vehicles equipped with camera monitoring systems according to UN R461; amend para. 5.1.3.5.1. to modify general provisions for electric power train systems; amend para. 5.1.3.6. to modify thermal shield requirements for vehicle endurance braking systems; renumber para. 5.1.3.7. to 5.1.3.6.; amend para. 5.1.3.7.3. to modify shut-off devices requirements for hydrogen containers; insert new para. 5.1.7. to require tyre pressure monitoring systems according to UN R1412; restructure para. 10. transitional provisions to align with WP.29 guidelines and ADR-2027 implementation dates; and amend Annex 2 approval mark models.
Provisional agenda for the 132nd session of the Working Party on General Safety Provisions to be held at the Palais des Nations from 28 September to 2 October 2026.

The agenda also includes exchanges of views on vehicle automation, election of officers, and other business items.
Proposal to amend para. 5.12. to require the manufacturer’s management system encompassing cyber security to comply with the relevant requirements of UN R155 with regard to total distance indicated and total distance values, and to require threat and associated vulnerabilities to be analysed according to the management system with regard to total distance indicated and total distance values, with proportionate mitigations implemented including or equivalent to mitigation 7 referred to in Annex 5, Part B, Table B5, threat 20.4. of UN R155. The proposal aligns odometer anti-tampering and security management requirements with UN R155 and clarifies that mitigating measures must be implemented regardless of risk value assessment.
