This document presents draft provisions for UN Regulation No. 11 concerning door latches and door retention components. Inspired by justifications in GRSP-79-19 and GRSP-78-48, amendments address vehicles equipped with Automated Driving System features (ADSF-1 and ADSF-2), extending requirements to vehicles of category X while excluding category Y. Key EDO additions include definitions for latch release controls, door handles, power loss, and unlock/unlatch operations. New performance requirements mandate intuitive latch release controls and door handles; power-assisted exterior and interior controls must remain functional for at least 60 minutes after power loss through secondary mechanical means, active secondary power supplies, or fail-safe principles. Annex 7 introduces a power loss test procedure verifying door operability following emergency events, with interior and exterior opening procedures conducted within 10 minutes after 60-minute power disconnection periods.

Proposal to account for vehicles of category X and to extend its application to vehicles without driver and manual driving controls. New sections introduce definitions for Automated Driving System features (ADSF-1 and ADSF-2) and establish requirements for door closure warning systems and locking devices for vehicles equipped with ADSF-2. Vehicles of category Y are excluded from scope. Various paragraphs are amended regarding door systems, locking mechanisms, and impact definitions to address automated driving scenarios.

Proposal to require that a horn or other acoustic signalling system can be activated from within a parked vehicle when in the fully locked mode and to set the transition period through 1 September 2016 for meeting the new requirement.

Proposal to clarify and align the French version of the text with regard to its English counterpart and the provisions on locking devices for each vehicle door.
