Document presents technical challenges to defining retrofit kit types for electric conversion and approval processes. Identifies that retrofit kit type perimeter depends on the regulation considered, with different requirements across UN R10, R13, R100, R85, R138, WLTP, R79, R39, R51, R89, R121, and R122. Presents testing challenges at vehicle, component, and EPRS levels, noting that testing a kit type not installed on a vehicle is impossible to account for all impacts on the vehicle.

Notes from the 3rd meeting of the IWG on Advanced Emergency Braking System, held online 24–25 September 2026. The group reviewed accidentology data showing that 60–70% of pedestrian accidents occur at night, discussed existing regulations including China’s GB 39901-2025 mandatory standard for M₁ and N₁ vehicles entering into force in 2028, and compared Euro NCAP and JNCAP night-time testing protocols. The group agreed to use a homework list as discussion baseline at the next meeting in Tokyo before amending UN R152 text to include requirements for pedestrian collision scenarios at night with artificial lighting.

Proposal to clarify that the ADS must respond to user requests to deactivate, require multimodal signals at the start of and during deactivation procedures that continue until completion or termination, require escalation of warnings for system-initiated deactivations if the user is not re-engaging as expected, require gradual reduction of ADS control action during deactivation while maintaining safe vehicle control, allow the ADS to retake full control if the vehicle is not being controlled safely, terminate the deactivation procedure if the user is not suitably engaged and the time available to transition has expired, replace the requirement for contact with the steering wheel with being in a physical position to operate the driving controls, suspend non-driving related activities at the start of the deactivation procedure, and modify the DDT section to require fallback to an MRC instead of a deactivation procedure if there is insufficient time for transition.

Meeting minutes documenting PMP discussions on amendments to Brakes GTR 24 and UN R179, including TF3a layout and testing topics, TF3b vehicles limited speed work, TF3c brake replacement parts with a new UNR to be introduced, and TF4 electromechanical brakes with no further progress. GTR and UNR informal documents on HD brakes were presented with trailers removed from scope, open points on PM Emission Factor units, caliper position, test input parameters, and cooling air flow value addressed, and a 3-month delay in round robin testing reported.
