CLEPA supports the general approach in the current draft UN R for children left in vehicles regulation. Systems shall detect presence of children through a technology neutral approach based on performance requirements. Door-logic based systems have known weaknesses and are insufficient as standalone solutions. Systems shall appropriately address situations where children are unknowingly or knowingly left in vehicles, with suitable test cases covering real-life relevant situations and child restraint system installations. CLEPA proposes replacing references to in-direct plus or direct sensing systems with sensing system throughout the regulation.
The agenda includes discussion of the status of the draft reference document for transformation into a formal document for the June 2027 WP.29 session, discussion of timeline for formal document submission to WP.29, and upcoming meetings including sessions planned for October 26-27 in Tokyo, November 24-25 online, and January 26-28 in Washington DC.
