For consideration in section 3 of AI-09-06, consolidated draft/initial output for a reference document, proposal to add inspectability of AI-enabled regulated systems throughout operational life, including lifecycle compliance verification through PTI and in-service monitoring activities with standardized access to diagnostic information, software version verification, AI safety status indicators, event logs, sensor calibration status, ADAS calibration verification, and system health monitoring functions, and to add use of AI by inspection authorities including AI-assisted brake condition analysis, tyre wear analysis, emissions anomaly detection, automated lighting inspection, vehicle structural anomaly detection, computer vision for exterior and underbody inspection, and aggregated analysis of in-service defect patterns.

List of elements that could be left to national/regional determination (i.e., not harmonized at the global level).

This Regulation provides uniform provisions for approval of vehicles of categories M₁–M₃ and N₁–N₃ equipped with electric traction chain powertrain retrofit systems to be converted into pure electric vehicles (EV) or Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (HFCV). Retrofit system manufacturers must submit applications including descriptions of the retrofit system, original parent vehicle, modifications, compliance verification, application range, installed samples, authorized installers, and conversion plates. Type approval requires meeting general requirements for design, construction, durability, and failure communication, plus specific requirements in Annexes 5A for EVs and 5B for HFCVs. Only authorized installers may perform conversions, and manufacturers must provide installation documents and end-user manuals.

Identifies challenges with headlamp aiming across approval and inspection processes. Issues include determining vehicle actual load and cut-off line definition for up-down aiming, defining vehicle references and kink point location for left-right aiming, and separating aiming control from beam pattern assessment. Inspection data show rejection rates of 4.8 per cent for light duty vehicles and 2.8 per cent for heavy duty vehicles in France, with front fog lamp misalignment at 46 per cent. The document recommends reviewing approval criteria for passing-beam orientation and defining inspection procedures, equipment, and multibeam headlamp considerations.

Proposal to ensure the availability of sufficient information on the lighting device for periodic and roadside inspections.

Proposals to inhibit tampering with emissions systems and to facilitate detection of such tampering.

Proposal to introduce and improve provisions to detect and protect against tampering with emissions control devices.

Presentation by IWG PTI on their proposal ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2021/148

Proposal for a task force to identify regulatory aspects that can be improved to make tampering more difficult and easier to detect, along with the identification and definition of the most effective methods to detect tampering.

The proposal to clarify that enabling the system under the test procedure is only necessary in cases where the system is not already in the enabled state.

Proposal to ensure that the information provided regarding software updates is accessible for use in type approval, conformity of production, market surveillance, recalls and Periodic Technical Inspection (PTI).
