29 Jan UN R43: Proposal for a Supplement 13 to the 01 series of amendments (OICA) GRSG/2026/22 2026-01-29 Proposal to align UN R43 with a proposed amendment to UN R125 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2026/23), which resolves a longstanding inconsistency between the lower datum point definition (§5.1.1.3) and the obstruction requirement (§5.1.3) by harmonizing the lower datum point angle from 5° to 4°. OICA
29 Jan UN R125: Proposal for a Supplement to the original text, 01, 02, and 03 series of amendments (OICA) GRSG/2026/23 2026-01-29 Proposal to resolve a longstanding inconsistency in UN R125 between the lower datum point (§5.1.1.3, set at 5°) and the obstruction requirement (§5.1.3, set at 4°), by aligning the lower datum point to 4° while retaining upper and lateral aspects of §5.1.1. unchanged. The 5° datum point has never been used for any technical requirements beyond serving as a reference point, while the 4° obstruction requirement has prior precedent. As this is a vehicle rather than component requirement, the datum point is also proposed for deletion from UN R43, retaining it solely in UN R125. OICA
29 Jan UN R167: Proposal for a Supplement 3 (OICA) GRSG/2026/24 2026-01-29 Proposal to amend UN R167 to address Automated Driving Systems (ADS), exempting category Y vehicles and category X vehicles without a manual on-board mode from the regulation's scope, while requiring ADS-equipped vehicles to comply when operated manually. Additional amendments update references to the three-dimensional H-point machine per Mutual Resolution No. 1, and revise approval marking provisions to remove the Unique Identifier option. OICA
