UN / ECE R 155 Tests

UN ECE R155 tests cover a series of tests carried out in accordance with the relevant regulation for the evaluation of vehicles in the categories specified in the regulation in terms of cyber security equipment.

ECE regulations define cross-border technical regulations for establishing approval or uniform approval procedures for motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts. Automated commercial vehicles are already fully eligible for approval only through appropriate individual measures in the country in which they will be used. What is missing is a set of rules at the international ECE level.   

Regulation 155 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) — It covers the uniform provisions regarding the approval of tools related to cyber security and cyber security management system and the tests applied accordingly.

Cybersecurity referred to in the regulation means the situation in which road vehicles and their functions are protected from cyber threats to electrical or electronic components.

Cyber ​​Security Management System (CSMS) refers to a systematic risk-based approach that defines organizational processes, responsibilities and governance to treat the risks associated with cyber threats to tools and protect them from cyber attacks.

This Regulation applies to vehicles in Categories M and N with regard to cybersecurity. It also applies to Category O vehicles if equipped with at least one electronic control unit.

This Regulation also applies to vehicles in Categories L 29 and L 3 if equipped with automatic driving functions from level 6 onwards, as defined in the Reference document containing definitions of Automated Driving under WP.7 and General Principles for developing a UN Charter.

Within the scope of the regulation, many mechanical, dynamic and environmental tests are carried out as well as measurements for the approval of the relevant equipment. For tests to be considered successful, test results must meet regulatory requirements.
