Proposal to remove references to European radio frequency standards (paragraphs 6.2.3., 7.2.3. and 8.2.2.). Telecommunications devices must meet requirements specific to local markets. Therefore, the references to standards specific to European markets (but not other markets) fall outside the purview of UN Regulations.

Proposal to clarify the treatment of extensions of existing approvals under the new transitional provision guidelines (“Until 31 December 2019, Supplement 5 to the original version of this Regulation may not apply to extensions of approvals that were originally granted prior to the entry into force of Supplement 5”.)

Proposal to redefine “key” to include “physical device or electronic solution”. At the same time, the proposal excludes “hardware (e.g. smartphone) provided by other than car manufacturer” from this definition.

Proposal to clarify that anti-theft-related vehicle components such as keys are not subject to the environmental tests (section 6.4.) of UN R116 which were established for components embedded in the vehicle.

Proposal to define specifications for the design and operation of external status indicators for Vehicle Alarm Systems (VAS), Alarm Systems (AS) and immobilizers under UN R48 pursuant to provisions of UN R97 and R116.

Proposal to separate requirements for vehicle immobilizers into a new UN Regulation (from UN R116) in order to facilitate the inclusion of anti-theft regulations in UN R0 on whole vehicle type approvals.

Correction to document GRSG/2017/25 (Proposal for a new UN Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicle alarm systems and approval of a vehicle with regard to its vehicle alarm system) submitted by the GRSG secretariat.

Proposal to delete references to European standards for radio transmissions (paragraphs 6.2.3., 7.2.3. and 8.2.2.). Manufacturers must comply with legal requirements established by local authorities around the world. Therefore, the references to European norms present one instance of local requirements rather than an international set of agreed requirements.

Proposal from the IWVTA informal group to extract provisions from UN R116 into a new UN Regulation concerning the approval of vehicle alarm systems and the approval of a vehicle with regard to its vehicle alarm system.

Proposal from the IWVTA informal group to limit the scope of UN R116 to the protection of motor vehicles against unauthorized use and the approval of devices to prevent unauthorized use (while establishing new regulations to incorporate the provisions concerning alarm systems and immobilizers)

Proposal from the IWVTA informal group to extract provisions from UN R116 into a new UN Regulation concerning the approval of immobilizers and the approval of a vehicle with regard to its immobilizer.

Proposal from the IWVTA informal group to extract provisions from UN R116 into a new UN Regulation concerning the approval of immobilizers and the approval of a vehicle with regard to its immobilizer.

Draft proposal under development by the IWVTA informal group to extract provisions for vehicle alarm systems from UN R116 and into a new UN Regulation.

Draft proposal under development by the IWVTA informal group to extract provisions concerning immobilizers from UN R116 and into a new UN Regulation.

Draft proposal under development by the IWVTA informal group to extract provisions from UN R116 into new regulations on immobilizers (see document GRSG-112-41) and vehicle alarm systems (see document GRSG-112-40) pursuant to the development of a new regulation on whole vehicle type approvals.

Correction of the proposal to amend Regulation No. 48 following the outcome of the 167th session of the World Forum where amendments to Regulations Nos. 97 and 116 on the status indicators for Vehicle Alarm System (VAS), Alarm System (AS) and immobilizer were adopted (WP.29/2015/87 and WP.29/2015/91). The proposal aims at defining and specifying the operation of the external status indicator for VAS, AS and the immobilizer.

Proposal from the informal working group on the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval to restructure UN R116 into two separate regulations. The regulation addresses anti-theft, alarm, and immobilizer aspects of theft prevention. Since these aspects may be mandatory or optional depending upon the country or market, the application of UN R116 to whole vehicle type approval becomes problematic. This proposal would extract the immobilizer provisions into a separate new regulation.

Review of work towards adapting and/or approving certain UN Regulations for use within the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval regulation.

Proposal as approved by the GRSG to delete provisions regarding the optical display of the status of the vehicle alarm system outside the passenger compartment in order to avoid driver distraction by and/or confusion of such exterior lighting with primary lighting and signaling equipment required under UN R48.

Revised proposals approved by the GRSG to delete provisions regarding the optical display of the status of the vehicle alarm system outside the passenger compartment in order to avoid driver distraction by and/or confusion of such exterior lighting with primary lighting and signaling equipment required under UN R48. These proposals supersede documents WP.29/2015/36 and WP.29/2015/37 that were submitted for the March 2015 WP.29 session but deferred to the June session.

Proposal developed by the IWVTA informal group to highlight concerns over the ambiguity of Regulation No. 116, especially with regard to whether the installation of vehicle immobilizer systems is mandatory. IWVTA is requesting WP.29 for clarification and resolution of the ambiguous provisions and interpretations.

UN R116 specifies operating voltages and voltage limits. Current technology and intelligent battery management systems allow for precise control and definition of these parameters. This includes “intelligent” operating ranges in order to optimize energy management (CO2 emission reduction). Fixed operating voltage ranges are therefore unnecessary or even may hinder efforts for CO2 emission reduction in the future. This proposal would allow varying operating voltage ranges according to the battery technology used to remove this restriction impact such advanced designs.
