Standard Guidance

Reach UNECE R155/R156 Profile readiness without rebuilding your policy programme

UNECE Regulations R155 and R156 set the cybersecurity (R155) and software-update (R156) management-system obligations for vehicle type approval in 64 contracting parties — including the EU, UK, Japan, and Korea. Without a valid CSMS and SUMS certificate from an approval authority, an OEM cannot sell new vehicle types in those markets. Recent enforcement has focused on aftersales software updates, secure update mechanisms, and demonstrable governance of cybersecurity decisions throughout the vehicle lifecycle — not just at type-approval submission. Quick Policy maps UNECE R155/R156 Profile into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs - and keeps it current between audits.

Why UNECE R155/R156 Profile matters for your operating model

UNECE R155/R156 Profile doesn't just dictate document templates - it shapes which controls auditors test, what evidence they ask for, and which gaps surface first during diligence. Getting it wrong creates renewal slippage, audit findings, and stalled customer deals.

  • Issued by UNECE with global recognition.
  • Directly shapes policy families including Product Security, Software Update Governance — these are the artefacts assessors open first.
  • Common artifacts include Policy.
  • Obligation model: Mandatory In Scope — meaning you need defensible reasoning for in-scope vs out-of-scope decisions, not just signed policies.
