Reference Number: GRVA-25-35

The Informal Working Group on Cyber Security and Software Updates discussed amendments to UN R155 and UN R156 for multi-stage approval, including simplified handling for low-risk devices and clarification of intrinsic cyber risk assessment. The group reviewed proposals from GRVA-25-31 and GRVA-25-32 concerning continued validity of approvals and Certificate of Compliance issuance. A Sub-Working Group was established to develop component and separate technical unit approval concepts. Pending discussion include RXSWIN application to components, STUs, and the extent of application to UN R155 and UN R156, and type-approval numbering for software updates.
