Proposal to clarify the mutual recognition requirement of the draft revision of the 1958 Agreement. OICA views the clause that subjects the mutual recognition requirement to “any special provisions” contained within a given UN Regulation as potentially detrimental to the basic principles of uniformity and mutual recognition. The phrase was deemed necessary because such special provisions do exist; however, OICA proposes to revise the phrase ostensibly to avoid creating the impression that the use of such “special provisions” is routine (rather than exceptional) under the Agreement.

Proposal to clarify the concepts of options, modules, and alternatives in the special resolution to improve the functioning of the 1998 Agreement.

Proposal to amend the transitional provisions in the draft 03 series of amendments (document WP.29/2017/18) in line with the new guidelines presented for adoption (document WP.29/2017/53) pursuant to Revision 3 to the 1958 Agreement.

OICA recommendation that event data recorders, automatic emergency braking systems, and lane-keeping assistance systems be considered for harmonization under the 1998 Agreement.

Proposal to clarify the concepts of alternatives, modules, and options.

Proposal for transitional provisions for inclusion in UN R79 – (ECE/TRANS/WP29/2017/10, as amended by WP29-171-06). In the interests of moving quickly, the ACSF informal group agreed to submit the initial amendments to UN R79 as a supplement. The proposed Supplement 6 to the 01 series of amendments (documents WP.29/2017/10 and WP.29-171-06) introduce requirements for corrective steering functions (CSF) and A and B1 categories of automatically commanded steering functions (ACSF). This approach included an agreement to ensure that existing approvals and their subsequent extensions won’t be affected by the new technical requirements given that the aim of the supplement is to regulate new systems coming to market, not to impact systems already on the market (see document GRRF-83-21 for complete background).

Proposal to clarify the definition of “Option” as used within Global Technical Regulations and to introduce the concept of “Alternative”. In principle, the proposal seeks to distinguish between protocols for the same requirement that allow divergent compliance thresholds (e.g., differing stringency) and those that provide equivalent assessment of performance through different means. “Option” would refer to the former while “Alternative” would refer to the latter. In the case of one or more options, the proposal would require Contracting Parties to work towards the elimination of the divergent performance requirements.

Proposal concerning extensions of type approvals granted under Revision 2 of the 1958 Agreement following the entry into force of Revision 3. The proposal would specify terms as of the adoption by AC.1 (in lieu of the current proposal to specify terms for Supplements as of their entry into force).

OICA and IMMA comments on the new procedures of Revision 3 to the 1958 Agreement concerning the retroactive application of Supplements to extensions of type approvals.

Partial OICA research regarding supplements developed prior to Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement where application of Revision 3 with regard to extensions of approvals (para. 31(b)) would present problems for manufacturers.

Proposal to clarify application of UN R139 to vehicle submitted for approval under the regulation (i.e., equipped with a brake assist system).

Proposal to clarify the definition of “Option” and “Module” as used within Global Technical Regulations.

Amended proposal for formal document WP.29/2018/134 on transitional provisions, specifically to correct an error regarding new series type approval transition provisions which should have read “2012” rather than “2010” as erroneously used in the original submission.

This text represents a first draft of “certification-neutral” technical requirements for a “Data Storage System for Automated Driving”, as presented by OICA in March 2018 ITS/AD session n°14.

Information on several national projects to develop driving scenario databases to define conditions that automated vehicles need to navigate in real-world operation.

Proposal to specify that Supplement 7 does not apply to type approvals issued prior to its entry-into-force.

Submission by OICA in order to transpose into international legislation Directive 2005/64/EC and Directive 2009/1/EC concerning the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to their reusability, recyclability and recoverability.
