Draft minutes of the 13th IWG on EV/HFCV-RS meeting held 8 October 2026. The group reviewed the work program ahead of the forthcoming GRPE session scheduled for 14-16 October 2026, with the objective to provide GRPE with a first draft of the future UN Regulation. The latest draft Regulation was jointly reviewed, continuing technical discussions on provisions and addressing comments and proposals from stakeholders. Particular attention was given to the scope, type definition and testing requirements, and the presence of installer definition in the UN Regulation. Participants worked collaboratively towards consolidating inputs and preparing an agreed version of the draft for presentation at the next GRPE session.
