10. (b) UN Regulation No. 169 (Event Data Recorder for Heavy-Duty Vehicles)

25. The expert from the Kingdom of the Netherlands on behalf of IWG on Event Data Recorder/Data Storage System for Automated Driving (EDR/DSSAD) introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2025/49. GRSG adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2025/49, not amended. The secretariat was requested to submit ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2025/49 as draft Supplement 1 to the original version of UN Regulation No. 169 for consideration and vote at the June 2026 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1.

26. The expert from the Kingdom of the Netherlands also introduced GRSG-130-30 on new requirements in line with the “Step 2” workstream. He requested comments to the proposal, in time to develop an official proposal for the April 2026 session of GRSG.

27. Finally, GRSG noted some inconsistencies in drafting official documents from authors concerning punctuation (i.e. use of the slash (/) is discouraged since its meaning is unclear). The secretariat informed GRSG that the United Nations Editorial Manual Online is intended to serve as an authoritative statement of the style to be followed in drafting, editing and reproducing United Nations documents, publications and other written material and related instructions, in particular those on using and citing outside sources. Therefore, he provided the following links for guidance: www.un.org/dgacm/en/content/editorial-manualwww.un.org/dgacm/en/content/editorial-manual/footnotes/index
