Seven UN Regulation proposals were reviewed for consistency and errors. Issues identified include: unclear optical-logical signal transitions in R64; redundant definitions that should reference RE3 via footnotes; inconsistent ADS activity terminology requiring standardization to “when an ADS feature is active”; incorrect Category Y vehicle references in R51; spelling and numbering errors across multiple regulations; inconsistent Mass in Running Order definitions; and unclear testing provisions requiring improved cross-referencing. Corrections are necessary for regulatory robustness.

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 GRE Taskforce on Autonomous Vehicle Signalling discussed Automated Driving System marker lamps, including Japanese input on Vienna Convention compliance, vehicle categories under the 1958 Agreement, mandatory rear installation requirements, variable intensity settings, daytime/nighttime definitions, side marker lamp configurations, agricultural vehicle applicability, rooftop installation alternatives, and operational conditions adjacent to direction indicators. Several technical issues remain unresolved. An informal proposal for a hybrid regulation is expected for the 95th GRE session. The next meeting is scheduled for 18 June 2026.

The GRSG-TF-AVRS held an online meeting to review open items for submission to GRSG-131. Decisions included removing a proposal for R39, amending R43 regarding windscreen definitions, adopting amendments to R46, R151, R159, R166, R167.00, and R167.01, and adopting changes to R61, R73.01, and R73.02. No further meetings were scheduled before GRSG-131 in April 2026. OICA, UK, and France volunteered to present documents at the session.

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.
