IWG EMC prepared supplement 3 to the 07 series of amendments to UN R10, with terminological adjustments for ADS adoption, addition of categories X and Y, technical refinement of ADS including a new ADS table in Annex 6 paragraph 2.1.1.2, and modifications to artificial networks with discharge voltage below 50 V and maximum discharge time of 20 seconds. For the 08 series, approved proposals are prioritised on a roadmap.

Proposal to amend to fit Automated Driving System (ADS) requirements. New provisions introduce vehicles of categories X and Y equipped with an ADS, extending application to vehicles without driver’s compartment and manual driving controls.

The document discusses transitional provisions for UN R10.07 series amendments, which entered into force June 2025. Contracting Parties shall not refuse type approvals under the 07 series amendments. As from 1 September 2029, Contracting Parties need not accept type approvals under preceding series first issued after that date, but shall continue accepting those first issued before that date for vehicles, vehicle systems, equipment, and parts not affected by changes introduced by the 07 series amendments. The document references ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1044 rev3 for general transitional provision guidance. Nearly all vehicles and ESAs will not be granted extensions for UN R10.06 after 1 September 2029, except those complying only with broadband emissions.

Proposal to amend UN Regulation No. 10 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) through a Supplement to the 07 series of amendments to fit Automated Driving System requirements. The proposal introduces new paragraphs defining ADS and ADS test configuration; amends paragraph 1.3 to include ADS control; expands paragraph 2.12 on immunity-related functions to cover ADS sensor performance; deletes paragraphs 2.26 and 2.27; adds paragraph 6.11.3 on special ADS requirements; and introduces an “Active ADS Mode” test table in Annex 6 paragraph 2.1.1.2, establishing test conditions for vehicles with active ADS features performing the Dynamic Driving Task.

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.

Proposal to amend UN R10 by inserting new paragraphs to address Automated Driving System (ADS) requirements. The supplement to the 07 series of amendments extends the Regulation’s application to vehicles of categories X and Y equipped with an ADS, as well as conventional vehicles with an ADS, while maintaining the spirit of the original Regulation. Modifications include new definitions for “ADS test configuration,” revised immunity related functions to account for ADS sensor performance, and updated test conditions specifying that ADS shall be operational during testing. Alternative testing methods may be used when the ADS cannot function in the laboratory environment, subject to type-approval authority agreement.

Proposal from the GRE EMC informal working group. The modifications extend the regulation’s scope to vehicles without driver compartments or manual controls. Changes include new definitions for ADS test configurations, updated immunity-related functions to address ADS sensor performance, and revised test conditions for vehicles with active ADS features. Additional reporting requirements for ADS systems are introduced in regulatory forms.

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.

Proposal to amend UN R10 to enable application to Automated Driving System (ADS) vehicles, including new paragraphs defining ADS requirements, test configurations, and immunity-related functions. Changes address vehicles without drivers or manual controls, establish ADS test procedures for laboratory environments, and specify equipment operation during testing. Amendments cover electromagnetic compatibility testing requirements, failure criteria, and documentation standards for ADS-equipped vehicles.

The IWG-EMC 50th session reviewed proposals for the UN R10.08 series of amendments on electromagnetic compatibility for vehicles. Key topics included charging system requirements, harmonics limits, radiated emissions, and checking UN R10 for applicability for ADS vehicles. Multiple proposals from Contracting Parties and stakeholders were assessed regarding inclusion in the 08 series, with deadlines set for working documents by July 2026. The roadmap for implementation was reviewed, with items categorized for immediate inclusion, future series consideration, or further development. A revised ADS update for UN R10 was discussed. Copyright issues with ISO, CISPR, and IEC standards were addressed. Next sessions scheduled for January, March, May, and July 2026.

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

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 amend the text to enable its application to ADS vehicles.
