UN R86: Simplification of the regulation

Reference Number: SLR-79-10

Simplification work on UN Regulation No. 86 addresses five pending points: the number of additional direction-indicator lamps allowed, geometric visibility of category 6 direction-indicator lamps, height for slow-moving vehicles marking plates set as low as possible above the ground but not less than 250 mm at the lower edge, position for slow-moving vehicles marking plates with regard to the vehicle median longitudinal plane, and speed for automatic activation of manoeuvring lamps proposed at 15 km/h as a compromise.

EqOp frontal impact workshop: Reading list

Reference Number: EqOP-WS-FI-01-03

This document is background material for the IWG EqOP workshop on equity issues in frontal crashes relevant for restraint systems scheduled for November 2026 in Tokyo. The workshop aims to draft conceptual ideas for a procedure to assess robustness by complementing current specific requirements based on ATDs using a more holistic approach. Robustness is defined as the vehicle’s ability to protect occupants of variation in body height, weight, shape, and seating position in real-world relevant collisions by maintaining structural integrity and effective safety systems. The reading list addresses field data, real-world needs, characteristics of frontal collisions, current regulations including UN R16, UN R94, UN R137, human body model readiness, injury prediction strategies, and regulatory solutions including Euro NCAP approaches, informed by GRSP-78-07.

Meeting Sessions: 1st EqOP-WS-FI session (4-6 Nov)

Document date: 08 Sep 26

Relevant to: UN Regulation No. 16 | Safety belts and related systems, UN Regulation No. 94 | Occupant Protection in Frontal Collisions, UN Regulation No. 137 | Restraint System in Frontal Impact, and WP.29 Discussion Topic | Equitable Occupant Protection

EqOP Frontal Impact Workshop: Agenda for the 1st (November 2026) session

Reference Number: EqOP-WS-FI/2026/1

The workshop on frontal impact assessment in Tokyo, 4-6 November 2026, will address robustness, defined as the vehicle’s ability to protect occupants of varying body height, weight, shape, and seating position in real-world relevant collisions by maintaining structural integrity and effective safety systems so that the risk of injury is minimized for all types of people. The agenda includes review of relevant regulations, clarification of roles of ATDs and HBMs, and conceptual ideas for future regulatory upgrades addressing brain injury, soft tissue neck injury, lower leg injury, thorax injury, submarining, abdominal loading, and lower severity collisions. The workshop will develop an HBM-based robustness assessment matrix to complement current ATD-based requirements.

Electric Vehicles and the Environment: Report of the 98th (July 2026) session

Reference Number: EVE-98-10/Rev.1

The 98th EVE IWG session held virtually on July 15, 2026, adopted the agenda and discussed Phase 4 priorities for UN GTR 22, including Minimum Performance Requirements, State of Certified Range, conditioning cycles, and mutual recognition. Japan proposed sharing Part C verification results with all Contracting Parties. The IWG reviewed UN GTR 21 and UN GTR 25 status, covering MPRs, energy throughput, virtual distance verification, and battery replacement provisions. OICA will present their MPR position at EVE 100 and share Part C verification results at EVE 99. Japan will consult on hosting 2027 meetings targeting the week of February 15th.

Meeting Sessions: 98th EVE session (15 Jul)

Document date: 08 Sep 26

Relevant to: GTR No. 21 | Electric Vehicle System Power Determination, GTR No. 22 | Electrified Vehicle Battery Durability, and GTR No. 25 | Heavy-Duty Electric Vehicle Battery Durability

GTR 22: Proposal to revise provisions and formulas regarding UBE(certified) values

Reference Number: EVE-99-15

Proposal to revise provisions and formulas in GTR 22 Annex 3, paras. 2.1.2. and 3.1.2., UN R154-04 Annex C1, Appendix 2, paras. 2.1.2. and 3.1.2., and UN R83-09 Appendix 5, para. 3.1.2. to make UBE_certified values positive and select the maximum absolute value. The document EVE-63-11e addresses concerns that when the interpolation method is applied under GTR No. 15 / UN R154, UBE_certified values become negative, contrary to regulatory intent. Revisions ensure UBE_certified is determined by selecting the maximum absolute value amongst vehicle H, vehicle L, and vehicle M where applicable.
