During IWG-EMC 53rd meeting, Dutch delegation referenced the 2018 Stint accident in proposals to extend UN R10 radiated emissions below 30 MHz and immunity below 20 MHz requirements. Official forensic investigation reports by TNO and Dutch Safety Board ruled out electromagnetic compatibility as a causal factor. The Stint’s drive system was fully immune under UN R10 Annex 6 at 40 V/m. Level-crossing infrastructure fully complied with EN 50121 railway EMC standards. True root causes were mechanical, electrical, and homologation failures including braking deficiencies, electrical throttle flaw, and vehicle instability. OICA recommends rejecting any expansion of UN R10 scope based on this incident.

OICA presents comments and proposals on UN GTR 25 discussion items for the 100th session of the EVE informal working group. Topics include test procedures and approaches, a standardized 50 km virtual driving distance for Power Take-Offs, simplification of calculation formulas, a PTO family concept with predefined power classes, handling of body builder PTOs, minimum power thresholds, High Power Resistor energy consideration, measurement accuracy, and default values for auxiliaries. OICA indicates agreement on certain items, identifies areas requiring correction or further discussion, and outlines Phase 3 priorities.

Comments regarding the method of stating energy consumption and arguing against pursuing an electrified vehicle durability assessment method given the rapidly changing technologies.

OICA view that no standardized accelerated aging test methods are available which are providing a fair and representative aging estimation.

Input concerning in-service conformity verification of SOCR/SOCE monitors.
