Proposal from France to delete provisions allowing a “cross check” of cybersecurity management certifications among approval authorities in favor of defined requirements for technical services.

Proposal agreed by interested Contracting Parties to resolve concerns regarding “peer review” of cybersecurity type approvals.

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.

Inclusion of vehicles of Categories L, R, S and T into the scope if fitted with at least one electronic control unit.

Proposal to expand the scope of the Regulation to include all Category L and O vehicles if fitted with an electronic control unit.

Proposal to extend the scope of UN R155 to include all vehicles of Category L.

Proposal to align the UN R155 Interpretation Document with the proposal to extend the scope of UN R155 to Category L vehicles.

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 to amend UN R13, 13-H, 79, 89, 130, 131, 139, 140, 152, 155, 156, 157, 171, 175, and 178 by introducing provisions on software identification and software updates. Amendments add new paragraphs referring to Software Identification Number definitions in Consolidated Resolution R.E.3, require manufacturers to provide Technical Services with information on hardware and software influencing performance, permit vehicle manufacturers to apply for new approvals differentiating software versions for registered versus new vehicles while avoiding test duplication, and modify production discontinuation provisions to exclude cases where manufacturers seek approval extensions for software updates of registered vehicles.

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.

Proposal to amend UN R155 by inserting new para. 5.1.3.(e) establishing that the Certificate of Compliance for the Cyber Security Management System shall not be issued by a different Approval Authority than the one granting type approval, and amend UN R156 by inserting new para. 5.4. establishing that Approval Authorities shall not grant 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. Justification includes ensuring holistic cybersecurity assessment, clarifying reporting obligations under para. 7.2.2.2.(g), addressing unharmonized mutual recognition of management system certificates, maintaining consistency between regulations, and upholding the fundamental principle that approval authorities retain responsibility for all aspects of type approval.
