Acceleration Control for Pedal Error (GTR): Report of the 4th (July 2026) session

Reference Number: ACPE-GTR-04-04

The 4th session of the Acceleration Control for Pedal Error Global Technical Regulation was held online on 8 July 2026. The agenda was endorsed without comment. The draft report for the previous meeting was revised as ACPE-GTR-03-06/Rev.1. Japan presented planned research activities including testing in reverse direction. Canada clarified that false positive test procedures still need to be defined and aim to provoke undesired ACPE intervention. Germany, Korea, Norway, and United Kingdom reported on their respective research status. ACPE-GTR-02-07/Rev.1 was presented. The next confirmed meetings are scheduled for 8 September 2026 and 10 November 2026.

Children left in vehicles: Draft UN Regulation for approval of light vehicles

Reference Number: CLIV-20-02

Work-in-progress draft regulation to address the safety of children left in light vehicles, with changes to amend definitions of ‘Child’ or ‘Children’ to refer to individuals generally considered to be between 0 and 6 years old, replace “frequency” with “repetition rate” in warning requirements, and clarify system deactivation, warning delay, and internal visible warning procedures. The proposed regulation would cover vehicles of categories M₁ and N₁ with mass not exceeding 3,500 kg equipped with indirect sensing or direct sensing systems to detect children left unattended in vehicles.

Simplification of Lighting Regulations: Report of the 73rd (July 2025) session

Reference Number: SLR-73-13

The GRE Informal Working Group on Simplification of UN Lighting and Light-Signalling Regulations held its 73rd session in Brussels on 9-11 July 2025. SLR approved reports from the 70th and 71st sessions. The Homework Team R-150 will prepare an updated version of SLR-73-09 including a decision tree and justification for submission to GRE-93 or GRE-94. SLR experts will study the GTB draft proposal in SLR-73-04 (superseded by SLR-73-04/Rev.1) to simplify paragraphs 6.×.4. and 6.×.5. in Reg. 48. SLR-73-07/Rev.1 reflects the latest baseline document for Reg. 48 with agreed modifications. IMMA introduced baseline documents for Reg. 53 and Reg. 74 reflecting simplified definitions. CEMA will prepare a baseline document for Reg. 86. GTB will prepare an updated proposal for a CAD-based method to determine apparent surface for SLR-74. A special SLR session on apparent surface may be held on 10 September 2025 if equipment is available. Discussion continues on harmonisation of requirements, improving direction indicator visibility, and technological neutrality for light sources. The 74th SLR meeting is scheduled for 10-12 September 2025 in Brussels.
