Proposals to enable application of the regulation to vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System (ADS).

Proposal to clarify the text for consistency, including replacement of the wording “torso line” by “median longitudinal plane of the seat” and to align the text with GTR 7 concerning the determination of whether a seat includes a head restraint that must comply with the requirements of this regulation.

Proposal to clarify the text and correct inconsistencies introduced in the 09 and 10 series of amendments, including with regard to assessment of energy dissipation on the head restraint, the test procedures for minimum width measurement, displacement and strength, gap measurement, backset measurement, seat back and its design angle, and the “10° Change in Actual Torso Angle”.

Proposal to amend UN R94 to account for vehicles of category X1 without driver and without manual driving controls inside the vehicle. The Regulation is amended to extend its application to vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System (ADS). Modifications address vehicle width definition, steering wheel displacement requirements, door locking systems, airbag compliance, seat positioning, and test dummy placement for vehicles without a driver’s seat.

Proposal to clarify the test procedure by specifying that the vehicle shall be put back on its wheels if necessary for the assessment.

Proposal to clarify that, pursuant to testing, the vehicle shall be put back on its wheels if necessary to perform the assessment.

Proposal to clarify that, pursuant to testing, the vehicle shall be put back on its wheels if necessary to complete the assessment.

Proposal to supplement UN R114 (Airbag module for a replacement airbag system). The Regulation is amended to account for vehicles of category X. The amendment extends application to vehicles without driver and without manual driving controls. In manual driving mode, no special provisions apply. In a mode where an Automated Driving System feature is active, relevant ADS requirements apply. Amendments clarify airbag module intended use, add footnote defining terms, revise device category descriptions, and add “(if applicable)” to driver references.

Proposal to facilitate a target-orientated quasi-static certification of the upper legform impactor for the upper legform to bumper test, as described in Annex 5 of UN Regulation No. 127.

Proposal to amend UN R134 to account for vehicles of category X and Y equipped with an Automated Driving System. The Regulation, originally drafted for vehicles with driver and manual driving controls, is extended to vehicles without driver and without manual driving controls inside the vehicle. Provisions related to driver and manual driving controls shall not apply if not already covered by the amendment. New definitions for ADS feature of type 1 and type 2 are inserted. Modifications are made to hydrogen concentration warning requirements, tell-tale signal provisions, and test procedures in Annex 5.

Proposal to amend UN R137 to enable application to vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System. The regulation applies to vehicles of category M₁ with maximum permissible mass not exceeding 3,500 kg and vehicles of category N₁. For vehicles of category X without driver and manual driving controls, provisions related to driver controls shall not apply unless already covered. For vehicles equipped with ADS in manual driving mode, no special provisions apply; in modes where ADS features are active, relevant ADS requirements apply. Amendments modify specifications for restraint systems, airbags, door locking systems, and dummy placement in frontal impact testing.

Proposal to enable application of the regulation to vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System (ADS).

Proposal to facilitate a target-orientated quasi-static certification of the upper legform impactor for the upper legform to bumper test, as described in Chapter 7 of UN Global Technical Regulation No. 9

Proposal to enable the application of the regulation to vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System (ADS).

Proposal to enable application of the regulation to vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System (ADS).

Proposal to amend UN R173 to enable application to vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System and vehicles of category X. The Regulation applies to vehicles of categories M, N, O, L₂, L₄, L₅, L₆, L₇ and T₁ regarding safety-belt installation, and vehicles of categories M₁ and N₁ regarding child restraint systems. For vehicles of category X, a seating position with steering control placed in front may be designated suitable for Child Restraint System installation if passenger seating requirements are fulfilled. The Regulation does not apply to vehicles of category Y.

Proposal (assuming the approval of the proposal in document GRSP/2025/26) to add “other audible audible safety warnings” as a criteria for discontinuing a second-level SBR warning signal.

Proposal to amend UN R174 to apply the Regulation to vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System. The amendments modify provisions for vehicles of category X and vehicles without driver and manual driving controls. Changes include clarifying folding seat exemptions, removing the neutral transmission requirement for first-level warnings, harmonizing “vehicle master control switch” terminology, ensuring drivers receive initial warnings when entering vehicles with remotely activated switches, clarifying voice communication during emergency calls, defining ADS feature types, and modifying testing procedures and requirements for safety-belt reminders in vehicles with ADS.

Proposal to establish a new UN Regulation for type approval of motor vehicles and components using liquefied hydrogen fuel systems. The regulation applies to heavy-duty vehicles (categories M2, M3, N2, N3) and specifies requirements for liquefied hydrogen storage systems, pressure relief and shut-off devices, and vehicle fuel systems. Testing procedures include proof pressure verification, boil-off control, vacuum loss tolerance, and bonfire tests. Vehicle systems must prevent hydrogen accumulation in passenger compartments, limit exhaust hydrogen concentration, and include warning systems. Approval marks and periodic technical inspections are required.
