The expert from the Republic of Korea introduced document GRSG-131-08 on the activities of the IWG developing a new UN Regulation on Children Left in Vehicles (CLIVs) for vehicle categories M1, M2, M3 and N1, under the auspices of GRSP. He explained that the document was submitted to GRSG to assess interest among experts in participating in an online meeting to review the proposed requirements.

GRSG endorsed in principle the proposals and requested the secretariat to distribute both proposals with an official symbol at its October 2026 session.
