• Manipulation Devices and Strategies that were previously in the 09 series of amendments to UN R83,
• the levels to which certain provisions apply,
• clarifications and corrections to the requirements for the laboratory test for pure electric range ratio at low temperature for Pure Electric Vehicles
• an update to allow the use in Levels 1A and 2 of actual tyre rolling resistance values to calculate the final road load coefficient for the individual vehicles, and
• align the Regulation with the current regional status and the current state-of-the-art.

Proposal to remove the provisions relating to manipulation devices and manipulation strategies that are being moved to UN R154 and clarify that in-service conformity checks for electric range of pure electric vehicles at low temperatures are optional.

Proposal to introduce in-service conformity requirements for system power.

Proposal to reintroduce text that was unintentionally omitted in document GRPE/2025/12 as adopted by GRPE during its 92nd session.

Proposal to clarify that the parking brake may be actuated while the vehicle is in motion via actuation of the vehicle’s service braking system by means of an auxiliary control which could be an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) and to promote consistent interpretation of the activation conditions for an Emergency Stop Signal (ESS), including by application of the service braking system via the EPB control.

The e-Trailer Industry Group reports on discussions regarding electrically propelled and recuperating trailers. ISO 11992-2 Edition 4 is not safely implementable due to incompatibility with current UN regulations, missing PGNs, and risks of malfunction. ISO/TC 22/SC 31/WG 4 launched Edition 5, targeting publication in early 2027. Amendments to UN R13 and UN R100 are being developed in phases, with Phase 1 addressing trailer dynamo function and Phase 2 addressing e-axle trailers. Two workshops with Contracting Parties are planned to establish shared understanding and develop concrete parameter extensions for amending UN Regulations.

Proposal to require the approval authority to upload information received from the manufacturer concerning remedial action(s) addressing an ALKS design to the DETA platform and to clarify the use of DETA with regard to ALKS approved under UN R157.

Proposal to clarify the EDR trigger input in the case of vehicles approved to UN R169 (M₂, M₃, N₂, N₃) equipped with airbags (Supplemental Restraint Systems).

Proposal to align UN R43 with a proposed amendment to UN R125 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2026/23), which resolves a longstanding inconsistency between the lower datum point definition (§5.1.1.3) and the obstruction requirement (§5.1.3) by harmonizing the lower datum point angle from 5° to 4°.

Proposal to resolve a longstanding inconsistency in UN R125 between the lower datum point (§5.1.1.3, set at 5°) and the obstruction requirement (§5.1.3, set at 4°), by aligning the lower datum point to 4° while retaining upper and lateral aspects of §5.1.1. unchanged. The 5° datum point has never been used for any technical requirements beyond serving as a reference point, while the 4° obstruction requirement has prior precedent. As this is a vehicle rather than component requirement, the datum point is also proposed for deletion from UN R43, retaining it solely in UN R125.

Proposal to amend UN R167 to address Automated Driving Systems (ADS), exempting category Y vehicles and category X vehicles without a manual on-board mode from the regulation’s scope, while requiring ADS-equipped vehicles to comply when operated manually. Additional amendments update references to the three-dimensional H-point machine per Mutual Resolution No. 1, and revise approval marking provisions to remove the Unique Identifier option.

Proposal to supersede document GRBP/2026/4 intended to introduce a “default mode”, to specify requirements to be applied to the emission of Enhanced Exterior Sound (EES), with corresponding transitional provisions, and to draw a limit curve to introduce electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles that can be propelled without an internal combustion engine operating in the scope of ASEP (Annex 7).

Proposal to clarify manufacturer logo requirements across several paragraphs: confirming that non-illuminated graphic marks are not considered logos (para. 2.1.7.); permitting vehicle manufacturers to keep the inner portion of a front position lamp active when an AFS headlamp substitutes the outer portion (para. 5.12.1.4.); improving logo language for Light Signalling Devices approved to UN R148 (para. 5.30.1.); and clarifying that Road Illumination Devices approved to UN R149 shall not include a manufacturer logo (para. 5.30.2.).

Consolidation in Supplement 11 includes: clarification of Verification/Adjustment and editorial corrections with transitional provisions (GRBP/2025/20 with GRBP-82-07); correction of Tyre Road Sound Measurement for Indoor-Testing (GRBP-82-22); introduction of ASEP in Annex 7 for BEVs and HEVs (GRBP/2026/4 with GRBP-83-xx); update of ISO standards in Annex 3 and Annex 8 (GRBP/2026/5 with GRBP-83-xx); and reference for Power Definition regarding new UN R177 (GRBP/2026/13). The consolidated version of Supplement 11 is to be submitted to the 199th WP.29 in June.

Proposal to improve FTIR/QCL Analyser Examination (Para. 9.3.2.8.1, 9.3.2.9.1, 9.3.2.10, Appendices 10–11), including expanding the examination authority to include type-approval authorities and technical services, requiring witnessing of the testing at the instrument manufacturer’s facility, and introducing new appendices providing an examiner template and a verification certificate format, and to permit other techniques for the water quench check (Para. 9.3.2.9.9) to address the adverse effects of H₂O and CO₂ on the CLD’s NOx response and align with the provisions of 40 CFR 1065.750(e)(5).

Proposal to clarify the selection of the wheel load among vehicles with identical brake assemblies for particle emissions testing.

Proposal to correct several outdated references following structural changes to UN R154 (04 series of amendments), including updated appendix numbering in paragraphs 2.47, 2.48, and Annex 5, removal of “worst case certified energy consumption Part B family” from Table 4 reporting requirements, and correction of the vehicle survey reference to reflect its relocation to the 9 Series of amendments to UN R83.

Flicker measurement: a) reduction of observation time and suppressing Plt limit, b) adapting ESA limit specification aligning with the vehicle requirement, c) suppression of manual switching test, d) Improving measurement consistency between laboratories and clarify test conditions.

Proposal to improve measurement consistency between laboratories and clarify setup conditions.

Proposal to delete two paragraphs relating to “Operating Mode Switch” that were overlooked when that concept was removed from Regulation No. 83, from both the manufacturer’s information document (Annex 1) and the approval certificate addendum (Annex 2). The same documentation requirements were removed from the 08 series of amendments (during GREP-93), differing only in paragraph numbering.

Current status of calculation method and component dynamometer tests

Proposal brings clarity to references and to correct copy & paste mistakes and possible misinterpretations related to in-vehicle battery durability and low
temperature.

Proposal clarifies the text relating to On-Board Diagnostics (OBD)

Proposal to clarify Annex 3, table A3/1 regarding minimum type-approval requirements for Euro 6e, Euro 6e-bis, and Euro 6e-bis-FCM under UN R83 by specifying the relevant series of amendments for UN R24, R85, and R168, which were omitted when the 08 Series was created as no new amendments were anticipated at the time. A minor editorial correction is also included.

Proposal to introduce a new paragraph 0.4 clarifying that second-level warnings apply when one seat-belt is unfastened during normal driving, excluding situations of higher priority warnings such as door opening or thermal propagation, to amend the definition of “normal operation” to specify forward motion above 10 km/h without other safety warnings triggered, and modify paragraph 5.2.4.3 to allow discontinuation of second-level warnings when other audible safety warnings are triggered in circumstances of imminent danger.

This proposal updates provisions for automated vehicles and automated driving systems.

Provides corrections and updates to the requirements, including to reflect the fact that requirements for manipulation devices and manipulation strategies

Proposal for change in transitional provisions to take into considerations of the lifetime value retention status

Proposal clarifies the OBFCM requirements

The proposal revises UN R10 paragraphs 3.1.8, 6.10.7 to clarify that intentional emissions from approved RF transmitters are excluded from emission limits when installed per manufacturer instructions without modification. New paragraph 3.1.9 requires risk assessment documentation for radio equipment installations.

OICA presents research findings on direction indicator perceptibility when stop lamps activate simultaneously. Key findings indicate that spatial separation between functions, increased direction indicator intensity, and relative signal dominance improve perception. Research shows stop lamp luminance can reduce direction indicator recognition, particularly in near-field viewing. OICA concludes that minimum size requirements proposed in the German proposal exceed available evidence and may create unintended consequences without demonstrated safety benefits.

Proposal to amend UN R157, including Annex 4, paragraph 3.5.4, requiring manufacturers to monitor safety-relevant incidents and report critical incidents to type-approval authorities, a new paragraph 3.5.4.1 to require approval authorities to upload remedial action information to the DETA database within 14 days, and a new Annex 7 to provide guidance for authorities on using DETA to exchange incident information.

Proposal to clarify opaque obscuration in indirect vision devices. The proposal inserts a definition of opaque obscuration and amends paragraph 15.1.4 to correct a reference to UN R43, Annex 24 rather than Annex 21. Paragraph 15.2.4.9.1 is amended to exclude areas of opaque obscuration from obstruction calculations for Class I rear-view devices, treating them similarly to mandatory rubber sealings used for window mounting.

Clarification request of the consolidated text of paragraph 6.5.10 as amended
by supplement 4

Proposal to amend UN Regulation No. 121 by inserting new paragraph 5.2.1.1 stating that fonts shown in Table 1 are not intended to be restrictive and other fonts may be substituted if legibility is maintained. Table 1, Note No. 20 is amended to clarify that the font of letters “OFF” or “ESC OFF” is not intended to be restrictive. The purpose is to clarify the text, provide flexibility, harmonize with international standards, and adapt to current digital work tools.

Proposal to amend Annex 4, paragraph 3.5.4, to require the manufacturer to report critical incidents to the granting type-approval authority, and to insert new paragraph 3.5.4.1 requiring the type approval authority to upload information received from the manufacturer in English language to the secure internet database “DETA” without undue delay but no later than 14 days after receipt. A new Annex 7 provides guidance for data exchange via DETA in accordance with paragraph 3.5.4.1.

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.

Proposal to insert new paragraph 5.3. into UN R178 (Emergency Lane Keeping Systems). The new paragraph requires that the effectiveness of ELKS shall not be adversely affected by magnetic or electrical fields, demonstrated by fulfilling technical requirements and respecting transitional provisions of the 06 or any subsequent series of amendments to UN R10. This proposal aims to ensure Electromagnetic Compatibility and make the reference future proof for potential ELKS requirements in future series of amendments to UN R10, based on GRVA-24-05/Rev.2.

This document contributes to consolidated text and a risk catalogue for artificial intelligence in the automotive sector. It defines AI as a field of computer science focused on creating systems capable of performing tasks requiring human intelligence, including learning, reasoning, problem-solving, natural language processing, and decision-making. High-priority AI use cases include perception, planning, and motion-control driving functions, as well as driver assessment systems. The document identifies 14 risks organized across five lifecycle stages: AI and use case specification, model architecture and training processes, data specification and management, verification and validation, and operation and in-use monitoring. It provides detailed risk descriptions and references emergent practices for managing these risks, including ISO/PAS 8800, NIST AI RMF, and EU AIA approaches. Lower-priority use cases referenced include AI-06-09 for periodic technical inspection and AI-06-12 for cybersecurity threat detection.

Proposal clarifies the “Manufacturer logo” means a light emitting graphic mark, emblem, word, or combination of those elements used to aid public identification of a vehicle manufacturer’s brand name when the function is switched ON. Improved justification for the proposal

Paper introduces an ADS marker lamp to identify vehicles operating with an Automated Driving System. Industry does not seek to mandate such a lamp. It identifies safety and security concerns including no demonstrated real-world net safety benefit, targeting and public violence risks, cargo robbery risks, child safeguarding concerns, cyber-physical attack surface expansion, and spoofing and misuse potential.

Proposal provides an alternative proposal to GRE/2024/12 Revision 2 as amended by GRE-93-28 Revision 1 .

The change request seeks clarification that “real-time” operational and tactical functions of the DDT, particularly “sensing and perception” and “planning and decision”, could be achieved through real-time sensor inputs alone or through integration of sensor inputs with other contextual information such as map-based data, to aid technical inspectors during testing and assessment of ADS systems.

Comments on the proposal for a03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 160. Modifications include renumbering paragraph 2.2 as paragraph 2.25, deleting paragraph 2.25, and amending definitions for “End of event time,” “Engine throttle, percent full,” “Non-volatile memory,” and other terms. New paragraphs 2.71–2.82 introduce definitions for rollover protection system, advanced emergency braking system, blind spot monitoring system, and driver assistance systems. Paragraphs 5.3.1, 5.3.2, and 5.3.3 are amended to clarify triggering and locking conditions for rollover events and vulnerable road user events, and to establish time zero. Paragraph 5.4.3 clarifies crash test requirements.

The ADS regulations (GTR and UNR) include definitions for reporting thresholds based on EDR triggering. Time-series data recording for heavy vehicles under UN R169 requires triggers and trigger thresholds to record data in specified time periods, which may not immediately precede, follow, or coincide with crashes. Last Stop, Safety Systems, and Sudden Deceleration triggers are unreliable crash indications. Sudden Deceleration is too sensitive for storing time-series data over several months. Optional SRS or a new independent trigger alongside Detected Collision offers the only viable possibility for effective time-series data recording.

OICA opposes inclusion of four roadmap items in UN R10.08 amendments based on WP.29 principles for evidence-based rulemaking. Items 2 and 2bis (radiated emissions below 30 MHz) fail reproducibility standards, lack validated test methods for all vehicle categories, and rely on standards not applicable to internal combustion engine vehicles. Item 3 (16 GHz range) violates the requirement for specific standard versions as CISPR 12 lacks finalized methodology. Item 4 (variable driving conditions and 4-side antenna assessment) presents measurement reproducibility concerns. OICA recommends deferral pending publication of validated international standards.

PMP Task Force 3b held kick-off on 07.05.2026 to address vehicles with legal limited speed, vehicles unable to follow cycle trace, and vehicles with capped speed by OEM decision. Proposals include adaptation of UN R179 cycle and procedure for vehicles with legal limited speed at 90 kph, with same duration for acceleration, cruise, and deceleration events, same acceleration and deceleration rates, and speed capped when needed. Introduction of such vehicles into brake corner emission families and vehicle types requires methodology to calculate adapted cycle and procedure, including c-factor measurement as alternative to fixed c-factor, and adaptation of Annex 5 procedure.

Proposal to insert new sub-paragraph 5.6.1.1.4.1 establishing that requirements of paragraph 5.6.1.1.4 shall not apply to ACSF Category A functions provided they are intended solely to support low-speed vehicle controllability manoeuvres in off-road environments, operate only until 5km/h with 1km/h tolerance, require deliberate driver activation, require driver presence in driver’s seat with fastened safety belt, and allow driver to retain control and override or deactivate the system at any time.

Proposal to amend para. 5.6.1.2.7. to increase the maximum RCP operating range from 6 m to 15 m. UN R79 currently limits the maximum RCP operating range to 6 m, resulting in effective usable range of 2 or 3 m due to radio wave-based ranging inaccuracy. A 15-meter range would enhance RCP function usefulness and safety, reducing driver movement and blind areas. RCP systems with extended ranges have been used in large markets without identified safety threats. The amendment is proposed as a supplement to the 03 and 04 series of amendments to UN R79.

Proposal to insert new para. 3.1.1. and 3.1.2. requiring manufacturers to provide information to approval authorities prior to application and upon extension of type approval; insert new para. 3.2.2. requiring manufacturers to provide summaries of safety definitions, driver safety levels, traffic rules assessment, and testing for each territory where ALKS can be active; and insert new paras. 4.6. to 4.6.6. establishing procedures for approvals covering multiple territories, including notification of receiving approval authorities at least 30 days before approval, review periods, and dispute resolution under the 1958 Agreement. OICA and CLEPA do not support mandatory pre-announcement but would support sharing Safe Operation documentation and lists of compliant territories during the approval process.

Proposal to amend virtual distance to assessment of virtual distance and amend monitor to assessment of virtual distance. The amendments ensure text robustness and alignment between GTR 22 and UN R154/04. The monitor was copied from Part A families and is not mentioned in Part C. The Battery cell characteristic includes the REESS as part of the Family concept.

Supporting presentation on the proposal to insert a new sub-paragraph 5.6.1.1.4.1 to exempt ACSF Category A functions intended solely to support low-speed vehicle controllability manoeuvres in off-road environments from the obstacle detection requirements of paragraph 5.6.1.1.4, provided the function operates only until 5 km/h with 1 km/h tolerance, is activated deliberately by the driver in off-road environments only, requires the driver to be in the driver’s seat with safety belt fastened, and allows the driver to retain control and override or deactivate the system at any time.

OICA-CLEPA-EME comments on German proposal GRVA-25-07 to require the approval authority granting UN R155 or UN R156 type approvals to use CSMS or SUMS certificates signed by the same approval authority. OICA-CLEPA-EME identify that CSMS and SUMS are Management Systems covering entire manufacturer organizations, and mandating the same approval authority for Management Systems certificates and approvals will have significant consequences for original equipment manufacturers typically using multiple approval authorities in homologation. The submission proposes keeping text unchanged to allow different approval authorities for Management Systems certificates and type approval based on voluntary acceptance, implementing wording on information exchange if different approval authorities are involved, and establishing a horizontal approach for Management Systems with mutual recognition aspects considered.

Proposal to delete paragraph 1.2.6. excluding e-axle trailers with e-axles providing electric propulsion and/or incorporating an electric regenerative braking system from the scope of UN R13, and add definitions of “e-axle,” “e-axle trailer,” “dynamo function,” and “e-trailer”; add special requirements for power-driven vehicles supporting e-trailer operation, e-axle trailers equipped with dynamo function, and e-trailers of category O; add requirements for electric control lines conforming to ISO 11992-2:²⁰²⁷; specify message support and functional compatibility; and add provisions for electric regenerative braking, dynamo function, and propulsion, including parameters such as retarder torque demand priority, propulsion force limits, overriding mode activation at speeds below 15km/h, and vehicle stability function interaction.

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 GRVA/2026/14 and GRVA/2026/18: insert new paragraph 2.28.1. defining “Highway-like road” as a non-highway section with at least two lanes, designated speed limit of at least 80 km/h, no prohibition of pedestrians and cyclists, physical separation dividing opposite traffic, and no at-grade marked pedestrian crossings, rail crossings, or road intersections; amend paragraphs 5.3.7.2.3.1. and 5.5.4.2.6.5. to address highway-like road operation and withholding of HORs; insert new paragraph 4.2.5.2.16. to Annex 4. specifying testing for longitudinally moving bicycle targets; amend Annex 1. to add items 6.4. and 6.4.1. regarding withholding of HORs; and insert new paragraph 16.2.3. establishing that as from 1 September 2029 Contracting Parties shall not be obliged to accept type approvals issued to the preceding series of amendments for systems capable of withholding HORs on highway-like roads.
