Proposal to add ISO/IEC 17021:2017 for the audit and certification
of management systems to Part 2 of Schedule 2 on “Standards which the technical services, referred to in Part one of this Schedule, shall comply with”.

Proposal to clarify requirements in the scope relevant to mutual recognition and UN R131 (Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS).

Proposal to require require manufacturers to provide a method for objectively determining the moment of “Risk Mitigation Function” (RMF) initiation to enable assessment of the RMF warning signals and other driver warnings, hazard lights, and indicators in relation to the objectively determined RMF initiation point.

Proposal to introduce provisions for implementing the option (contained in footnote) for approval of certain “medium-duty” vehicles either under UN R152 (M₁/N₁) or UN R131 (M₂/N₂ /M₃). The proposal aims to clarify terms and establish procedures for demonstrating equivalent performance.

UN R79 mandates verification that appropriate warning signals are provided to the driver based on the timing of a system intervention (e.g., in the case of a Risk Mitigation Function). This proposal aims to clarify the moment of initiation of the signals to facilitate the verification of driver warnings, hazard lights, and other indicators in relation to this objectively determined initiation point. The proposal requires manufacturers to define a clear and accessible method for objectively determining the moment of initiation.

Proposal to amend UN R155 and UN R156 regarding approval authority requirements:

• Add a refusal ground to para. 5.1.3. of UN R155 where the Certificate of Compliance for the Cyber Security Management System has not been issued by the same approval authority granting type approval
• Insert new para. 5.4. into UN R156 to provide that approval authorities shall not grant any type approval if the Certificate of Compliance for the Software Update Management System has not been issued by the same approval authority granting type approval.

For the purposes of type approval under any UN Regulation requiring the verification of the timing of a system intervention, manufacturers shall provide to the approval authority or its designated technical service information on the method by which the initiation of any system intervention can be objectively identified and retrieved, including specific flags, status bits, event codes on in-vehicle networks, or visual indications on screens; clear instructions and all necessary tools for the Technical Service to extract, access and interpret the signal identifying the initiation; documented procedures including corresponding data sources, resolution, and timing accuracy appended to the type approval test report; and, where a visual indication displayed on a screen is used, documented latency between the earliest internal point at which the system initiates the function and the moment the visual indication becomes visible on the screen, expressed as a fixed value with associated uncertainty, with the documented latency value used to correct the observed timing of the screen indication appended to the type approval test report.

Document presents automated shuttles as vehicles designed for public transport with autonomy by design, typically featuring fewer than 10 seats and often limited to 50 km/h maximum speed. Shuttles are deployed globally but are incompatible with current UN vehicle categories: category M₁ does not accommodate standing passengers and is incompatible with crashworthiness regulations, while M₂/M₃ Class A construction alignment is prevented by the fewer-than-10-seat threshold. Proposal calls for a workshop organized by the GRSG/GRVA task force on automated vehicle categories to engage stakeholders and confirm need for an international category or class, addressing administrative questions, alignment with M₂/M₃ regulations, seating capacity, dimensions, weight, speed limits, and bidirectionality options.

Proposal to amend para. 5.1.3., insert new paras. 5.1.5. and 5.1.5.1. requiring the Approval Authority to refuse type approval unless the Certificate of Compliance for the Cyber Security Management System is issued by the same Approval Authority granting vehicle type approval, while permitting referencing of certificates from other Approval Authorities under specific conditions with documented agreements and clarified responsibilities, and insert new paras. 5.4. and 5.4.1. with equivalent requirements for the Software Update Management System Certificate of Compliance.

Proposal to set clear criteria for manufacturers of transformed vehicles to determine when a given transformed vehicle needs or needs not undergo a more detailed cyber security review according to the processes for transformed vehicles currently being discussed by the GRVA workshop on cybers ecurity and software updates.

Proposal, based on document GRRF-86-13, to resolve measurement concerns in the test requirements for ACSF of Category B1 and C. The proposal addresses issues identified in Annex 8, improves reproducibility and robustness of the procedures, fills in gaps in the test cases, and provides additional details on measuring equipment and test execution.

Proposal to clarify requirements of the optical signal for a CSF intervention to ensure sufficient flashing tell-tale visibility for the driver, to specify the duration of such ACSF signals, to ensure a safe hierarchy of signals (e.g., ESF over CSF) by priority, to clarify that deactivation when departing an ODD means the “off mode”, and to add a cross-reference pointing to paragraphs that define cases of manual and automatic deactivation.

Proposal to amend the draft text (GRVA/2019/9) submitted to resolve measurement concerns in the test requirements for ACSF of Category B1 and C by introducing provisions for tolerances, including:

1. inclusion of the position at which the lateral acceleration was measured and the position of the centre of gravity of the vehicle for better traceablility,
2. sampling rate of at least 100 Hz for dynamic testing,
3. specification of filters and cut-off frequency for determination of lateral acceleration,
4. option to measure “overriding force” torque via an internal sensor or an external device (e.g., steering robot).

Proposal to clarify the provisions in Annex 3, para. 1.5.3.1. in the case where the batteries have been recharged or replaced with a charged set between the hot performance and recovery procedure such that the linings temperature is no longer at the requisite temperature.

Proposal to clarify requirements applicable to alternatives software identifications systems differing from the Regulation No. X Software Identification Number (RxSWIN) defined in the Regulation.

Proposal to permit the use of a software identification system that differs from the RxSWIN established under UN R156 on software updates. (This proposal corresponds with a proposal to amend UN R156).

Proposal to equip four-axle commercial vehicles over 25 tons with vehicle stability function due to their specific use.

Proposal to introduce an explanation clarifying the possibility for Approval Authorities to recognise Certificates of Compliance for Cyber Security Management Systems (CSMS) issued by the Approval Authority of another Contracting Party.

This document summarises the reviews conducted by the GR working parties on the fitness for ADS of UN Regulations and GTR for application to ADS vehicles. This document represents the current opinions of the experts at the time of submission, and the recommendations contained inside may evolve significantly during the next steps of the process of reviewing and amending Regulations.

Proposal to allow the use of virtual testing as alternative methodology to physical tests.

Proposal to clarify EMC requirements: "The effectiveness of the system shall not be adversely affected by magnetic or electrical fields both when the ALKS is operational and deactivated. This shall be demonstrated by fulfilling the technical requirements and respecting the transitional provisions of 06 or later series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 10.”
