The agenda includes:

• DDAW system warnings and driver acknowledgement,
• microsleep detection requirements,
• system effectiveness under varied driving conditions and when DCAS is active,
• system functionality where driver occlusions occur,
• drowsiness thresholds for warnings,
• criteria for classifying false negatives,
• test methods,
• specificity and positive predictive value as performance metrics,
• observer-rated drowsiness,
• timing of future meetings.

Proposal to increase yaw rate recording frequency to 10 Hz. Yaw-rate data recorded at 2 Hz corresponds to one measurement every 500 ms; increasing to 10 Hz provides a measurement every 100 ms, resulting in a fivefold improvement in temporal resolution. This enhancement significantly improves ability to reconstruct pre-crash vehicle dynamics, identify vehicle instability onset and progression, and evaluate Electronic Stability Control functionality. A yaw-rate recording frequency of at least 10 Hz reduces temporal uncertainty from 500 ms to 100 ms and enables more accurate reconstruction of loss-of-control events, vehicle rotation, ESC interventions, and driving dynamical issues.

Proposal to insert new clauses to section 8 of the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3) to add provisions 8.40.1. through 8.40.9. establishing requirements for:

• Periodic technical inspection of vehicles, including verification of proper condition and functionality through testing equipment, electronic vehicle interface, scan-tools and manual/visual inspection,
• access to in-vehicle data without changing approved vehicle design or affecting software integrity, functionality of installed safety systems, and cyber security measures,
• manufacturer provision of technical information for testing equipment, electronic vehicle interface, scan-tools and methods,
• vehicle construction providing access to Diagnostic Trouble Code with regard to identify failure of vehicle, equipment and parts,
• definition of failure,
• requirement that Diagnostic Trouble Code be accessible by scan-tools compliant with international standards without manufacturer-specific, user-specific, or tool-specific restrictions,
• cyber security measures not affected,
• application limited to authorized test centers and workshops.

The 43rd session of the IWG on PTI convened on 8 May 2026 in Brussels. The group reaffirmed the need to strengthen integration between type approval and in-use inspection per WP.29 Whole-Life Compliance framework (WP.29/2023/89). At least 20 UN Regulations contain incomplete, non-harmonised PTI provisions. The IWG agreed to add “Review of PTI provisions in UN Regulations (1958 Agreement)” to its Action Plan and submit a proposal to WP.29 requesting endorsement. Work on diagnostic tools in PTI and automated vehicles inspection continues. The group reviewed recent amendments to UN Regulations Nos. 13 and 13-H for new braking technologies and identified challenges regarding LED replacement light source inspection.
