Focus on UNECE R156: Requirements and Implementation for Trailer and Body Manufacturers

The UNECE R156 regulation imposes new requirements on manufacturers whenever software is present in a vehicle and updates are possible. But what does this mean in concrete terms for trailer and body manufacturers? Who exactly is affected—and if so, what obligations arise from this?

In this webinar, together with our partner ALEE (ALEE – Alliance des laboratoires d’essai européenne GmbH), we provide a practical overview of the requirements of UNECE R156 and demonstrate how companies can successfully implement a Software Update Management System (SUMS) and integrate it into the approval process.

Agenda

• Are trailer and body manufacturers affected?
• Basic principles of the regulation
• Requirements for a SUMS
• Audit and product testing in the approval process
• Implementation within the company
• Key takeaways
• Q&A

What you’ll take away:

• Clarity on who is affected by UNECE R156
• Understanding of when and why a SUMS is required
• Insight into the type approval process (including management system certification and product approval)
• Concrete approaches for the practical implementation of a SUMS within the company
• Why new type approvals cannot be granted without an approved SUMS

Take this opportunity to ask your questions directly to our experts from ALEE and IVENSITY and prepare yourself optimally for the regulatory requirements.

We look forward to your participation!
