Paragraph 7.3.1. now refers to type approvals first issued before 1 July 2024 and to each extension thereof. Before this supplement, the changed sentence said “for type approvals prior to 1 July 2024” and did not mention extensions.

The duty to demonstrate that cyber security was adequately considered during the development phase also does not change.

However, for type approvals prior to first issued before 1 July 2024 and for each extension thereof, if the vehicle manufacturer can demonstrate that the vehicle type could not be developed in compliance with the CSMS, then the vehicle manufacturer shall demonstrate that cyber security was adequately considered during the development phase of the vehicle type concerned.

Paragraph 7.3.4. now refers to type approvals first issued before 1 July 2024 and to each extension thereof.
