Scope
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2020/79 Revised
This Regulation applies to vehicles, with regard to cyber security, of the
Categories M and N.
This Regulation also applies to vehicles of Category O if fitted with at least
one electronic control unit.
This Regulation also applies to vehicles of the Categories L6 and L7 if equipped
with automated driving functionalities from level 3 onwards, as defined in the
reference document with definitions of Automated Driving under WP.29 and
the General Principles for developing a UN Regulation on automated vehicles
(ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1140).
This Regulation is without prejudice to other UN Regulations, regional or
national legislations governing the access by authorized parties to the vehicle,
its data, functions and resources, and conditions of such access. It is also
without prejudice to the application of national and regional legislation on
privacy and the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of
their personal data.
This Regulation is without prejudice to other UN Regulations, national or
regional legislation governing the development and installation/system
integration of replacement parts and components, physical and digital, with
regards to cybersecurity.
Definitions
For the purpose of this Regulation the following definitions shall apply:
"Vehicle type" means vehicles which do not differ in at least the following
essential respects:
(a)
(b)
The manufacturer’s designation of the vehicle type;
Essential aspects of the electric/electronic architecture and external
interfaces with respect to cyber security.
"Cyber security" means the condition in which road vehicles and their
functions are protected from cyber threats to electrical or electronic
components.
"Cyber Security Management System (CSMS)" means a systematic risk-based
approach defining organisational processes, responsibilities and governance to
treat risk associated with cyber threats to vehicles and protect them from cyber-
attacks.
"System" means a set of components and/or sub-systems that implements a
function or functions.
"Development phase" means the period before a vehicle type is type approved.
"Production phase" refers to the duration of production of a vehicle type.
"Post-production phase" refers to the period in which a vehicle type is no
longer produced until the end-of-life of all vehicles under the vehicle type.
Vehicles incorporating a specific vehicle type will be operational during this
phase but will no longer be produced. The phase ends when there are no longer
any operational vehicles of a specific vehicle type.
"Mitigation" means a measure that is reducing risk.
"Risk" means the potential that a given threat will exploit vulnerabilities of a
vehicle and thereby cause harm to the organization or to an individual.
"Risk Assessment" means the overall process of finding, recognizing and
describing risks (risk identification), to comprehend the nature of risk and to
3
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2020/79 Revised
determine the level of risk (risk analysis), and of comparing the results of risk
analysis with risk criteria to determine whether the risk and/or its magnitude is
acceptable or tolerable (risk evaluation).
"Risk Management" means coordinated activities to direct and control an
organization with regard to risk.
"Threat" means a potential cause of an unwanted incident, which may result in
harm to a system, organization or individual.

common interpretation shall be implemented and all Approval Authorities
shall issue type approvals under this Regulation accordingly.
Each Approval Authority granting a type approval pursuant to this Regulation
shall notify other Approval Authorities of the approval granted. The type
approval together with the supplementing documentation shall be uploaded in

views between Contracting Parties this shall be settled in accordance with
Article 10 and Schedule 6 of the 1958 Agreement. The Contracting Parties
shall also inform the relevant subsidiary Working Party of the World Forum
for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) of the diverging
interpretations within the meaning of Schedule 6 to the 1958 Agreement. The
relevant Working Party shall support the settlement of the diverging views and
may consult with WP.29 on this if needed.
For the purpose of paragraph 7.2. of this Regulation, the manufacturer shall
ensure that the cyber security aspects covered by this Regulation are
implemented.
Certificate of Compliance for Cyber Security
Management System
Contracting Parties shall appoint an Approval Authority to carry out the
assessment of the manufacturer and to issue a Certificate of Compliance for
CSMS.

When this assessment has been satisfactorily completed and in receipt of a
signed declaration from the manufacturer according to the model as defined in
Appendix 1 to Annex 1, a certificate named Certificate of Compliance for
CSMS as described in Annex 4 to this Regulation (hereinafter the Certificate
of Compliance for CSMS) shall be granted to the manufacturer.
The Approval Authority or its Technical Service shall use the model set out in
Annex 4 to this Regulation for the Certificate of Compliance for CSMS.
The Certificate of Compliance for CSMS shall remain valid for a maximum of
three years from the date of deliverance of the certificate unless it is withdrawn.
The Approval Authority which has granted the Certificate of Compliance for
CSMS may at any time verify that the requirements for it continue to be met.
The Approval Authority shall withdraw the Certificate of Compliance for
CSMS if the requirements laid down in this Regulation are no longer met.
The manufacturer shall inform the Approval Authority or its Technical Service
of any change that will affect the relevance of the Certificate of Compliance
for CSMS. After consultation with the manufacturer, the Approval Authority
or its Technical Service shall decide whether new checks are necessary.
In due time, permitting the Approval Authority to complete its assessment
before the end of the period of validity of the Certificate of Compliance for
CSMS, the manufacturer shall apply for a new or for the extension of the
existing Certificate of Compliance for CSMS. The Approval Authority shall,
subject to a positive assessment, issue a new Certificate of Compliance for
CSMS or extend its validity for a further period of three years. The Approval
Authority shall verify that the CSMS continue to comply with the requirements
of this Regulation. The Approval Authority shall issue a new certificate in
cases where changes have been brought to the attention of the Approval
Authority or its Technical Service and the changes have been positively re-
assessed.
The expiry or withdrawal of the manufacturer’s Certificate of Compliance for
CSMS shall be considered, with regard to the vehicle types to which the CSMS
concerned was relevant, as modification of approval, as referred to in
paragraph 8, which may include the withdrawal of the approval if the
conditions for granting the approval are not met anymore.
