UN R159: Proposal for a Supplement 4 to the original version
Reference Number: GRSG-132-21

Proposal to introduce provisions for type approval of Moving Off Information System (MOIS) Component and Separate Technical Unit (STU) by establishing three approval pathways: Part I for vehicles with MOIS, Part II for vehicles with installation of approved MOIS Component or STU, and Part III for MOIS Component or STU themselves. The system detects pedestrians and cyclists in the forward blind spot area and provides information and collision warning signals during low-speed moving off manoeuvres at speeds of 10 km/h or less. Technical requirements cover detection performance for speeds 3–5 km/h for potential moving off and 0–10 km/h for low-speed operation, automatic deactivation on system failure or sensor contamination, manual deactivation through intentional driver actions, and signals that are deactivated together upon failure. Test procedures include static crossing tests, longitudinal stopping and moving off cyclist tests, and failure detection tests performed on flat dry asphalt under natural illumination conditions.

UN R158: Proposal for a Supplement 7 to the original version
Reference Number: GRSG-132-29

Proposal to consolidate definitions applicable to both Part I and Part II into a single chapter, add component and separate technical unit requirements to Rear-View Camera Systems and Detection Systems, establish requirements for software update references and identification, and merge amendments from Supplements 1–6 into the original text. Current type approvals remain valid. Changes do not affect stringency or content requirements.

UN R158: Proposal for a Supplement 7 to the original version (Rev 4 draft)
Reference Number: GRSG-132-28

Proposal to add Component and Separate Technical Units (STU) approvals regulatory supplement to UN R158 for devices for means of rear visibility or detection. The changes do not affect the content stringency and keep current UN R158 type approvals valid. The proposal replaces the complete UN Regulation text due to the number of changes required, incorporating text merged from Supplements 1 to 6 into the original text, with tracked changes and comments marking modifications outside the direct scope of the SIG-C&STU typical for clarity, corrections or consistency items which shall not affect stringency.

UN R158: Proposal for a Supplement 7 to the original version (rev 4 clean)
Reference Number: GRSG-132-27

Proposal to add component and separate technical unit approvals regulatory supplement to UN Regulation No. 158. The changes do not affect stringency and keep current type approvals valid. The proposal replaces the complete regulation text and includes definitions, requirements for close-proximity rear-view mirrors, rear-view camera systems, and detection systems for vehicles of categories M₁–M₃ and N₁–N₃. Field of vision requirements, system activation, driver interface specifications, and test procedures are specified, with backing event duration defined as meeting speed of 16 km/h, distance of 10 meters, or duration of 10 seconds.

UN R159: Proposal for a Supplement 4 to the original version
Reference Number: GRSG-132-23

Proposal to introduce provisions for type approval of Moving Off Information System Component or Separate Technical Unit, establishing three approval routes: Part I for vehicles with integrated systems, Part II for vehicles with approved components or units installed, and Part III for component and separate technical unit approvals. The regulation requires systems to detect pedestrians and cyclists in the forward blind spot during potential moving-off manoeuvres and low-speed manoeuvres at speeds up to 10 km/h, providing information signals and collision warnings. Automatic deactivation occurs upon malfunction or sensor contamination; manual deactivation is permitted through intentional driver actions. Vehicles of category Y and category X without manual on-board operation are exempted. Testing includes static crossing tests, longitudinal stopping and moving-off cyclist tests, failure detection, and automatic deactivation verification.
