Software identification and updates for vehicles no longer in production. UN R156 series 01 introduces mandatory RXSWIN for software updates after registration. RE3 Annex 7, UN R157, UN R171, and UN R185 define type approval rules post-production. Manufacturers may apply for new approvals to differentiate software for registered vehicles from new vehicles, covering type approval regulation updates or hardware changes. Duplication of tests shall be avoided where possible. National Type dates need not be respected for new approvals under the 1958 Agreement.
Regulation Software Identification Number: A dedicated identifier, defined by the vehicle manufacturer, that represents the type-approval-relevant software of the electronic control system(s) contributing to the characteristics covered by a specific UN Regulation (where “X” stands for the regulation number — e.g. RX79SWIN for UN Regulation No. 79 on steering equipment).
