• Delete definition 2.25.
• Amend definition 2.35. to simplify non-volatile memory
• Amend para. 2.45. to change service brake terminology
• Amend para. 2.51. to clarify time interval between events
• Amend para. 2.65. to abbreviate vulnerable road user
• Insert new definitions 2.71.–2.83. for rollover protection system, advanced emergency braking system, trigger activated, pre-event synchronization timer, blind spot monitoring system, emergency stop signal, turn signal, acceleration control for pedal error, advanced driver distraction warning system, driver drowsiness and attention warning system, driver control assistance system, and time to collision
• Restructure para. 5.3.1. to distinguish planar, VRU, and rollover events from AEBS events with specified triggers
• Amend para. 5.3.2. to clarify data locking conditions
• Restructure para. 5.3.3. to establish time zero for planar, VRU, rollover, and AEBS events
• Amend para. 5.4.3. to specify side and frontal collision tests
• Amend para. 6.1. to clarify post-crash acceleration measurement
• Insert transitional provisions 12.12.–12.16. providing that as from the official date of entry into force Contracting Parties shall not refuse type-approvals under the 03 series, as from 1 September 2031 or 2029 [date TBD] shall not accept type-approvals to preceding series first issued after that date, until 1 September 2033 shall continue accepting preceding series approvals first issued before 1 September 2031 or 2029 [date TBD], may grant approvals to preceding series, and shall grant extensions of existing approvals
• Amend Annex 4 Table 1 to split engine throttle and accelerator pedal data elements, increase sampling rates to 10 Hz, extend recording intervals for rollover events, add pre-event synchronization timer, trigger activated, ACPE status, ADDW status, DDAW status, blind spot monitoring status, turn signal status, DCAS status, DCAS driver monitoring system warnings, emergency stop signal status, and time to collision data elements, and modify footnotes accordingly

Proposal for a recording interval of 600 seconds prior to collision for driver drowsiness and attention warnings (DDAW), 240 seconds for advanced driver distraction warnings (ADDW), 240 seconds prior to collision for driver monitoring warnings from the driver-control assistance system (DCAS), triggers planar, VRU, Rollover, AEBS, AEBS for pedestrian, AEBS for bicycle, and AEBS for motor vehicle, and event data recording time-to-collision (TTC) range of 0 s to 5.0 s and resolution 0.1 s for AEBS events.

For vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System, it shall be possible to retrieve DSSAD time-stamp data elements specified under paragraph 5.2. of Annex 8 of UN Regulation No. 185 recorded within at least the last 30 seconds prior to triggering of the respective EDR event, regardless of whether the DSSAD and the EDR are implemented as a single system or as separate systems. The time-stamp data elements retrievable from the DSSAD shall include the record for the last activation or deactivation of the feature used at the time of the event within the same power cycle. The data elements shall be retrievable in the format specified in Annex 8 of UN Regulation No. 185, though DSSAD location data may be omitted and dates and times recorded may be replaced with information representing the time elapsed between the recording of each DSSAD data element and the triggering of the EDR.

Preliminary consolidated drafting proposals prepared by OICA for the revised 1958 Agreement pursuant to the proposed International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system.

Proposed amendments to the proposed revisions to the 1958 Agreement pursuant to the international whole vehicle type approval project.

Proposal for a procedure through which a manufacturer could receive an exemption from WP.29/AC.2 for a new technology which is incompatible with one or more requirements of a UN Regulation from those requirements.

OICA presentation of views on the proposed amendments to the convention government UN Regulations and mutual recognition of type approvals.

Draft proposal for a procedure to allow for the exemption of new technologies from relevant existing regulatory requirements in cases where those existing requirements present incompatible, inapplicable, and/or unwarranted burdens.

Revised draft proposal to amend Schedule 7 for the procedure to allow for the exemption of new technologies from relevant existing regulatory requirements in cases where those existing requirements present incompatible, inapplicable, and/or unwarranted burdens.

Updated revised draft proposal to amend Schedule 7 for the procedure to allow for the exemption of new technologies from relevant existing regulatory requirements in cases where those existing requirements present incompatible, inapplicable, and/or unwarranted burdens.

Draft text for Revision 2 to the “General Guidelines for UN regulatory procedures and transitional provisions in UN regulations” (Document WP.29/1044).

OICA input concerning the proposed concept for “versions” of UN Regulations for use within the global system for the mutual recognition of type approvals. A version involves the possibility for issuance of new approvals to previous forms of a given regulation (as opposed to the current system where parties can only issue new approvals to the latest version in force of a regulation).

The International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system under development proposes to allow for the acceptance by Contracting Parties of approvals issued according to versions of a regulation earlier than the latest version in force as well as of approvals issued under some, but not all, regulations that comprise the IWVTA. This document proposes an approach to manage the various configurations of the Limited IWVTA.

Proposals to amend the guidelines concerning the establishment of UN Regulations and transitional provisions (WP.29/1044). Earlier proposals were developed in document SG58-17-04/Rev.1.

Proposals to amend the guidelines concerning the establishment of UN Regulations and transitional provisions (WP.29/1044).

Consolidated version of the working draft amendment to WP29/1044/Rev.1, incorporating changes agreed during the 18th subgroup session and the following:

1. OICA responses/comments to the proposals and comments made by the EC (see SG58-18-08)
2. OICA proposal to revise §43, as requested at the November 2015 meeting (see SG58-19-01, Action item 6)
3. Revision to the transitional provisions in chapters B (equipment and parts), C (installation of equipment and parts), D (replacement parts for vehicles in use), jointly developed with CLEPA
4. Some further proposals by CLEPA, that can be supported by OICA

Q&A on Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement.

Explanation that discontinuation of production does not invalidate a type approval. Approvals may be withdrawn for non-conformity, but otherwise, approvals remain valid indefinitely.

Draft text for guidelines on transitional provisions.

Marked up version of the proposed guidelines for transitional provisions.

Draft of the Q&A document to accompany the publication of Revision 3 to the 1958 Agreement.

Proposal for a new schedule to govern the granting and use of “Attestations” which have been proposed to address whole vehicle approval situations where certain equipment (e.g. Daytime Running Lamps) are mandatory on vehicles in one jurisdiction but only regulated on an if-fitted or optional basis in others.

In relation to action items 1 and 3 under the “Major Results and Action Items of the 21st SG58 meeting” (document SG58-22_01), OICA offers its views for consideration.
