Document presents Korean research on event data recorder (EDR) data survivability in electric vehicles following post-crash fires. Analysis of nine Korean EV fire cases shows EDR data retrieval failed in three cases due to ACU damage in fully burned vehicles, while six cases achieved data retrieval despite water immersion from firefighting. The document proposes water immersion testing to assess EDR data survivability for inclusion in EDR Step 3, referencing international automotive standards for test method development.

This document addresses rear direction-indicator lamps mounted at low positions on vehicles. Republic of Korea reports increased public petitions and media articles regarding visibility and recognition concerns, particularly in congested traffic and for vehicles with higher driver seating positions like SUVs. UN Regulation No. 48 specifies direction-indicator lamp height requirements: not less than 350 mm and not more than 1,500 mm, or up to 2,100 mm under certain structural conditions. The presentation seeks feedback on similar issues from other countries and manufacturers.
