The Informal Working Group on Automotive Life Cycle Assessment decided not to submit the Working Document for the 95th GRPE session. The Mutual Resolution will not be submitted for adoption at the October 2026 GRPE session due to unresolved issues and lack of consensus. The leading team will prepare a status report for October 2026 GRPE describing progress, current status, remaining issues, and proposed way forward. A revised Terms of Reference extending the IWG mandate will be prepared. An additional meeting may be organized to determine the future work programme.
This document addresses terminology inconsistencies in UN R11 regarding emergency door opening. It proposes consistent use of entry or exit and occupant(s) versus passenger(s) in amendments without editorial changes to existing parts. Step-by-step checks of all parts of UN R11 are proposed for locking device terminology and latch release control terminology, with definitions for latch release control and door handle already available. For power supply terminology, a definition is needed, while power loss terminology should be retained.
Proposal to amend Annex 3 and Annex 7 regarding ASEP calculations and temperature corrections:
The agenda includes adoption of the provisional agenda and minutes from the thirty-eighth session; proposals for amendments to R155 concerning multistage vehicles, separate technical units and component approval, and remote operation for automated driving systems; review of cyber and software requirements in the ADS Regulation; application of RXSWIN to R156; administrative provisions in R155 and R156 regarding Type Approval Authority for CSMS/SUMS and issuing approvals for out-of-scope vehicle types; and preparation of GRVA 26.
IWG RD-ASEP created a mandatory test assessing compliance with paragraph 6.2.3 of Regulation 51.03 (later 51.04) to assure vehicle noise emission at speed, load, or acceleration conditions other than Annex 3 condition is linked to vehicle physics, with no noise emission test detection or defeat device schemes. R51.04 draft incorporates R51.03 Supplements up to Supplement 11, revises manipulation and defeat device provisions, establishes mandatory random RD-ASEP testing for approval with expanded vehicle speed range of 1-100 km/h and vehicle performance criteria, and includes expectation model technical basis in Annex 7.
