Update on the status of discussions aiming to resolve open items in the draft UN Regulation on cybersecurity following the 5th GRVA session.

Proposals to clarify the draft text.

The proposal replaces the protection of critical elements with the protection of the vehicle type in general to ensure that a critical element can be secured by security mechanisms in other elements of the vehicle type. This clarifies that secure gateways can be used to shield parts of an E/E architecture which contain critical elements. Further, the proposal introduces a transitional period for the obligation to implement the mitigation measures of Annex 5, Part B and C. During this transitional period, the manufacturer can introduce alternative appropriate mitigation measures on the basis of technical feasibility.

Proposal to clarify provisions regarding

• skills and procedures required of the Approval Authority and its Technical Service(s),
• mandatory peer review of the Approval Authority’s skills, procedures and assessment methods and pass/fail criteria,
• notification of intended type approvals and availability of documentation for inspection,
• minimizing the risk of expiry of the CSMS Certificate before issuance of a new Certificate, and
• exemptions for approvals granted before 1 July 2024.

Netherlands comments on the working draft GTR on EDR.

In accordance with the WP.29 Framework Document on Automated/Autonomous Vehicles, this document provides common functional performance requirements based on national/regional guidelines and other relevant reference documents consistent with the 1958 and 1998 Agreements. The document is based primarily upon discussions held among the experts of the Informal Working Group on Functional Requirements for Automated Vehicles (FRAV) under the Working Party on Automated/Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (GRVA) and informal documents GRVA-05-40 and GRVA-05-41 as presented during the 5th GRVA session (10-14 February 2020). This document highlights common concepts identified through the first two FRAV sessions. These concepts are not exhaustive and many, if not all, will undergo changes as the FRAV and GRVA work progresses. This document does not constitute a proposal, formal or otherwise, for automated vehicle legal requirements but may serve to support discussions across WP.29 and its subsidiary bodies.

Consideration of terms such as “lifetime” and “lifecycle” in UN Regulations under the 1958 Agreement.
