Proposal to establish a Task Force on Swappable Batteries (TFSB) under GRPE. The task force will review WP.29 regulations and international standards to identify technical requirements for swappable-battery vehicles, focusing on commercial vehicles. It will define vehicle types, clarify vehicle type approval processes, and develop guidance documents. The task force will coordinate with other working groups including GRSP and GRVA, with deliverables expected by October 2027.

Proposal from the European Commission and Japan for a new UN Regulation based on discussions with the Informal Working Group on Global Real Driving Emissions.

Proposal to correct the improper or confusing provisions described in Amendment 3 to UN GTR No.4.

Proposal to introduce particle number requirements and limits for Level 1B. The proposal also aligns the particulate measurement procedures with changes introduced in GTR No 15 Amendment 6 and other adaptations to technical progress.

Proposal to ensure that Level 2 is the latest version of this Regulation and is therefore subject to mutual recognition under the 1958 Agreement, given that there is a concurrent proposal to for an 02 series of amendments which introduces particle number requirements and limits for Level 1B. This proposal for a 03 series of amendments also aligns the particulate measurement procedures with changes introduced in GTR No 15 Amendment 6 as well as other adaptations to technical progress.

Proposal to update the previously adopted text (GRPE/81/Add.2 and in document WP.29/2020/120) with changes introduced into European legislation on RDE. This document is available with tracked changes in pdf version and docx format.

Proposal to align the Regulation with the latest regional requirements.

Proposal to amend Additive Deterioration factors in line with changes to corresponding regional provisions prompted by potential manipulation observed in the region and scheduled for introduction from October 2024.

Proposal to amend Additive Deterioration factors in line with changes to corresponding regional provisions prompted by potential manipulation observed in the region and scheduled for introduction from October 2024.

Proposal to introduce provisions relating to

• Manipulation Devices and Strategies that were previously in the 09 series of amendments to UN R83,
• the levels to which certain provisions apply,
• clarifications and corrections to the requirements for the laboratory test for pure electric range ratio at low temperature for Pure Electric Vehicles
• an update to allow the use in Levels 1A and 2 of actual tyre rolling resistance values to calculate the final road load coefficient for the individual vehicles, and
• align the Regulation with the current regional status and the current state-of-the-art.

Japan plans to issue a regulation on 1 April 2012 along with fiscal incentives to promote the use of advanced emergency braking systems on heavy-duty vehicles. Mandatory installation will be phased in starting from 1 November 2014.

Proposal to use a static reference to UN R10 on electromagnetic compatibility in UN R13 and R13-H.

Presentation to support Japan’s view that new regulations should be developed to establish technical requirements for Lane-Keeping Assistance Systems (LKAS) and Parking Assistance Systems (PAS) together with possible amendment of UN R79 which defines Advanced Driver Assistance Steering Systems.

Submission from Japan further elaborating on the scope of its proposal for a new regulation for the approval of lane-keeping assist steering systems.

Presentation providing accident data to support the Japanese proposal for a new regulation to govern approvals of lane-keep assist steering systems (LKAS).

Presentation to further discussions on Japan’s proposal to establish a new UN Regulation on lane-keeping assistance systems.

Joint invitation by Sweden and Japan to an ad hoc meeting to discuss the possibility of amendment Regulation No. 79 to introduce provisions of lane-keeping assistance and other corrective steering systems.

Proposal to introduce lane-keeping assistance systems into the regulation. This document incorporates the agreed-upon definitions presented in document GRRF-78-05.

Proposal to introduce general performance guidelines into the annex on automated driver assistance systems in order to set initial safety considerations to guide the commercialization of this emerging technology.

Proposal to remove provisions related to temporary/spare units, TPMS and to exceptional cases that would require type approval under UN R75 or R106.

Proposal of updated objectives and timelines for the work of the ACSF informal group.

Updated terms of reference for the automated steering informal group as agreed during the September 2016 GRRF session.

Proposal to extend the scope of UN R131 to include light vehicles in line with priorities in Japan, the EU, and USA with regard to the installation of AEB systems on passenger cars and light trucks.

Proposal to authorize the establishment of an expert group to draft test procedures and performance requirements for M1/N1 with regard to automatic emergency braking, including stationary and moving obstacles, and for pedestrian AEBS.

Proposal to allow adaptation of speed and distance calculations in accordance with national speed limits since some nations enforce maximum speed limits below the 130 km/h used as the basis for the proposals on automated lane-change systems. Japan expects to refine the proposal in order to address mutual recognition concerns inherent in such recourse to national requirements. Japan further proposes clarification of the approaching vehicle (motorcycle) test target pending development of uniform test target specifications.

Japan comments on the changes agreed by the informal group of experts which reviewed the content of Annex 6 and proposed (via document GRRF-85-1/Rev.1) to clarify the purpose of Annex 6 and ensure its suitability when used in the assessment of steering systems featuring advances in automation (i.e., ACSF). The proposal

1. corrects an editorial error by inserting a missing clause in paragraph 1, and
2. deletes the phrase “at least 10%” from paragraph 4.1.1. which changes the current meaning of text with regard to assessment of “the System”
   • Japanese technical services already verify each declared function by the manufacturer under the paragraph,
   • The wording “at least 10%” may result in a decrease in the number of tests where Japan believes number of tests should be decided by the Technical service considering which tests should apply.

Possible scenarios for developing regulatory provisions for snow tyres under UN tyre regulations.

Text prepared by Japan to clarify requirements on electromagnetic compatibility in Regulations Nos. 13 and 13-H via reference to Regulation No. 10.

Proposal to establish an expert group with a mandate to prepare new harmonized regulations for lane-keeping and parking-assist systems.

Revised proposal to introduce general performance guidelines into the annex on automated driver assistance systems in order to set initial safety considerations to guide the commercialization of this emerging technology. Specifically addresses remote-controlled parking systems (RCP).

Proposal to introduce technical requirements for Corrective Steering Functions (lane departure prevention, lane-keeping assistance (LKAS), steering angle correction, etc.) as defined in the regulation. The proposal offers four options to ensure appropriate approvals of LKAS and related CSF systems until such time as more precise requirements can be defined:

• Option 1 and option 2: Not to grant any type approvals for corrective steering functions until detailed technical requirements for CSF are incorporated into this Regulation.
• Option 3: Amend the definition of CSF as proposed in this document.
• Option 4: Amend the definition of corrective steering functions and to include technical requirements for LKAS as an ASCF of Category B1 as proposed in this document.
