UN IWG CLIV presented a draft UN R regulation proposal for buses at May UN GRSP session covering physical inspection system with no sensing required. Discussions on light vehicle regulation, paused since early 2026, can now resume. Light vehicles will have sensing related performance requirements. ISO CPD surrogates availability will be crucial to implement the regulation. UN IWG CLIV will hold a 4-day workshop from 08–11 September, likely at UTAC/France, focusing on light vehicles, welcoming ISO CPD expert participation and presentations on ISO CPD status and test tools.

CLEPA supports the general approach in the current draft UN R for children left in vehicles regulation. Systems shall detect presence of children through a technology neutral approach based on performance requirements. Door-logic based systems have known weaknesses and are insufficient as standalone solutions. Systems shall appropriately address situations where children are unknowingly or knowingly left in vehicles, with suitable test cases covering real-life relevant situations and child restraint system installations. CLEPA proposes replacing references to in-direct plus or direct sensing systems with sensing system throughout the regulation.
