Proposed definition of the scope of a UI in terms of product compliance with the regulations under which it has been approved. If a product modification would require its testing for conformity with one or more UN Regulations as a new approval, then the UI must be changed to distinguish the product from similar product(s) approved previously. If a modification to a product has no consequences in terms of its current conformity, compliance, certification or approval(s), then the product may continue to use the current UI assigned pursuant to its approval.

IWVTA, established in 2017 under UN R0 and the 1958 Agreement, extends mutual recognition from individual vehicle systems to whole vehicles, reducing duplication while preserving safety and environmental standards. Key benefits include simplified approval procedures, reduced testing and administrative costs, and improved time-to-market through a single coherent whole-vehicle approval framework based on UN Regulations. IWVTA acts as a convergence tool between different regulatory systems and offers a flexible framework for emerging markets. Main obstacles include that IWVTA is not yet global, with limited coverage, uneven acceptance, and complexity of introduction.

Proposal as revised during the first DPPS task force session.

Proposal of provisions that can be applied within GTR No. 9 based upon the text developed for Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement (Schedule 8) on the validation of a simulation method.

Presentation on the Pedestrian Detection Impactor 2 performance. The PDI-2 was developed jointly by the Altran Concept Tech GmbH and ACEA to test sensor systems for active pedestrian protection systems (e.g. active engine bonnets).

Original proposal as revised during the EBSIG 6th session.

Proposal as updated during the 7th EBSIG session.

Unlock refers to transition of a doorlatch system into a state in which operation of the latch-release control is no longer inhibited, allowing the latch to disengage from the striker. Unlatching refers to transition into a state in which the latch and striker are no longer capable of withstanding separation forces, thereby allowing the door to move away from the vehicle body structure. Opening refers to the action by which a door is moved from its closed position to an open position through mechanical force or energizing an actuated device. Child Safety Lock System is a locking device which, when engaged, prevents operation of the interior door handle or other release device.

Clarifications to definitions: “Child-Safety Lock System” to clarify that it prevents unlatching when engaged, regardless of unlock state; amending “Unlock” to specify that child safety lock systems remain effective; amending “Unlatch” to define it as the transition where latch and striker no longer withstand separation forces; adding definitions for “Door Opening”, “Latch release control”, “Door handle”, and “Retractable door handle”.

Proposal to amend UN R11 to modify scope and definitions regarding vehicles of categories M₁ and N₁, introduce provisions for Automated Driving Systems, revise door operation requirements including exterior and interior latch release controls and door handles, add performance requirements for power-assisted systems and intuitive operation, amend provisions on door locks for side rear doors and back doors, include new definitions for latch release control, door handle, retractable door handle, unlock, unlatch, door opening, and power loss, add transitional provisions for the 05 series of amendments, and introduce new test procedures in Annex 7 for power loss events with interior and exterior door opening procedures requiring demonstration of door functionality within 60 minutes of power disconnection and at least five opening cycles. The amendments apply to supplement 3 of the 04 series for vehicles of category X and the 05 series of amendments to UN R11, based on justifications in GRSP-79-19 and GRSP-78-48.

Proposal to amend para. 1.1. to clarify that the Regulation applies to vehicles of categories M₁ and N₁ with respect to latches, door retention components, latch release controls, and door handles to prevent the risk of occupants being thrown from a vehicle and to ensure evacuation at emergency events, insert new paras. 2.30. to 2.36. defining latch release control, door handle, retractable door handle, unlock, unlatch, door opening, and power loss, insert new para. 5.4. establishing exterior and interior door operation requirements, insert new para. 6.4. establishing requirements for latch release controls and door handles to be intuitive and to remain capable of operating after power loss for at least 60 minutes, and insert new Annex 7 establishing a power loss test procedure to verify door opening systems remain functional following an emergency event leading to loss of the vehicle’s ordinary power supply.
