Proposal to amend and supersede ECE/TRANS/GRSG/2026/9 to supplement the 01 series of amendments to UN R144. New provisions address vehicles of category X and those equipped with an Automated Driving System. Vehicles of category Y are exempted. Amendments clarify AECS control accessibility for occupants in vehicles with ADS feature of type 2, define ADS feature types, update exclusions, and modify hands-free audio performance requirements for drivers or passengers as applicable.

Proposal to introduce a new “call for help” signal.

Proposal from the GRSG task force on Automated Vehicles Regulation Screening to exempt ADS vehicles of subcategory Y from the requirements and to adapt the requirements for application to ADS vehicles, including vehicles of subcategory X. The proposal relies on the establishment of requirements for ADS vehicles to define specifications for ADS performance while an ADS feature is active.

Proposal prepared by the Task Force on Automated Vehicles Regulatory Screening (TF-AVRS), with the aim to amend and supersede document ECE/TRANS/GRSG/2025/37.

Draft text prepared by the EMC group secretary pursuant to discussions.

The informal working group (GRE IWG EMC) is revising UN Regulation No. 10 and it has been agreed to include a vehicle level test for radiated immunity for emergency calling systems. There are two main scenarios under discussion in GRE IWG-EMC:
• Emergency call triggered before and after immunity test:
• Emergency call triggered before, during and after immunity test

GRE IWG EMC agreed to include a vehicle level test for radiated immunity for emergency calling systems in UN Regulation No. 10. Some aspects of the test remain uncertain, and guidance from GRSG is needed

Comments responding to a proposal from the Netherlands to add a dedicated radiated immunity test mode in Annex 6 which includes initiating eCalls or being in an active eCall.

GRSG proposal to clarify that UN R144 excludes assessment of the frequency or duration of re-establishing a voice communication and retrying data transmission.

List of items approved during the remote GRSG July session but subject to confirmation via absence of objections following the session. Under the “silence procedure”, if a Contracting Party expresses dissent, the GRSG approval is nullified.

The text prepared by the expert from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) to introduce the non-transmission of data retry.

Proposal to correct erroneous references (to annexes in the regulation as well as to UN R94 and R95) in the text and to correct an inconsistency in the text (paragraph 26.7.2. refers to situations where the AECS is not equipped with a back-up power supply; however, the subparagraph 26.7.2.3. refers to an AECS with a back-up power supply).

Proposal to clarify that UN R144 does not specify the frequency (number) of attempts or the duration of efforts to establish a network connection (voice or data transmission) for automatic emergency call systems. This proposal has been deferred to the June 2020 WP.29 session.

Proposal to:

1. clarify that the application of an AECD approval to other vehicle categories than M₁ and N₁ is not mandatory,
2. align the power supply requirement of Part III, para. 34.1 with the corresponding requirement in Part II, para. 25.1.
3. clarify with regard to para. 34.1 that if the vehicle is equipped with both
   • -a “back-power supply” as listed in para. 35.10.1 and
   • -a “Power supply other than back-up power supply mentioned in paragraph 35.10.1” as listed in para. 35.10.2
   both should be tested according to Annex 9. The “Power supply other than back-up power supply mentioned in paragraph 35.10.1” should indeed only be tested if it is the only power supply for the AECS.
4. include two-year transitional provisions
5. remove the exclusion of M₁ and N₁ not equipped with a side airbag and to specify that the AECS shall be able to output the navigation solution in an NMEA-0183 protocol format (RMC, GGA, VTG, GSA and GSV message), among other clarifications.

Full UN R144 integrating the proposal to:

2. align the power supply requirement of Part III, para. 34.1 with the corresponding requirement in Part II, para. 25.1.
3. clarify with regard to para. 34.1 that if the vehicle is equipped with both
   • -a “back-power supply” as listed in para. 35.10.1 and

Proposal to clarify that UN R144 does not specify the frequency (number) of attempts or the duration of efforts to establish a network connection (voice or data transmission) for automatic emergency call systems.

Request from the GRSG secretariat for clarification of a possible inconsistency in the text of UN R144. Paragraph 26.7.2. refers to situations where the AECS is not equipped with a back-up power supply; however, the subparagraph 26.7.2.3. refers to an AECS with a back-up power supply.

Proposal to correct erroneous references (to annexes in the regulation as well as to UN R94 and R95) in the text.

Proposal to:

1. clarify that the application of an AECD approval to other vehicle categories than M₁ and N₁ is not mandatory,
2. align the power supply requirement of Part III, para. 34.1 with the corresponding requirement in Part II, para. 25.1.

This proposal relates to the proposal in document GRSG-116-15. This proposal would:

1. clarify that the application of an AECD approval to other vehicle categories than M₁ and N₁ is not mandatory,
2. align the power supply requirement of Part III, para. 34.1 with the corresponding requirement in Part II, para. 25.1.
3. clarify with regard to para. 34.1 that if the vehicle is equipped with both
   • -a “back-power supply” as listed in para. 35.10.1 and
   • -a “Power supply other than back-up power supply mentioned in paragraph 35.10.1” as listed in para. 35.10.2
   both should be tested according to Annex 9. The “Power supply other than back-up power supply mentioned in paragraph 35.10.1” should indeed only be tested if it is the only power supply for the AECS.
4. Since informal document GRSG-116-15 deletes the existing exemptions in para. 1.3, and hence introduces more severe requirements, the changes should be introduced via a new series of amendments with appropriate Transitional Provisions of 2 years. (In effect, the application of AECS requirements would be based solely on the scope of UN R94 and R95 and no longer takes into account the presence of an airbag and its triggering system. The manufacturers need sufficient time to ensure AECS compliance for new vehicle types and in the same time, the changes should not affect existing vehicle types that were given an AECS type approval already.)

Proposal to remove the exclusion of M₁ and N₁ not equipped with a side airbag and to specify that the AECS shall be able to output the navigation solution in an NMEA-0183 protocol format (RMC, GGA, VTG, GSA and GSV message), among other clarifications.
