Proposal prepared by the Task Force on Automated Vehicles Regulatory Screening (TF-AVRS), with the aim to amend and supersede document ECE/TRANS/GRSG/2025/20.

Proposal to:

• Improve the positioning of pure Class I monitors for drivers with presbyopia (difficulty in clearly seeing close objects)
• Introduce installation requirements for surveillance mirrors and surveillance camera-monitor-recording devices
• Allow for single approval number for devices with more than one field-of-view
• Refine obstruction provisions
• Introduce provisions for rounding of magnification factors
• Introduce a new definition for “Surveillance camera-monitor-recording device”
• Clarification of the “external original surface” concept
• Clarification that the radius of curvature is not be mandatory on the back of Class I mirrors
• Allow greater flexibility in conducting the pendulum testing
• Clarify the “operation readiness” with respect to partially folded camera wings
• Allow for alternatives to the test defined in annex 7 for evaluating the radius of curvature on the reflecting surface if needed
• Correct certain errors.

Proposal from the GRSG task force on Automated Vehicles Regulation Screening to address ADS vehicles, including exemption of vehicles of subcategories X and Y from the requirements of UN R46. For other ADS vehicles, no special provisions or exemptions apply under UN R46.
