Checklist · UN R156

R156-ready? Fourteen questions decide.

UN R156 requires a Software Update Management System for type approval. The mechanism is the easy half — the record is the hard one. This checklist asks the fourteen questions your approval authority will ask, across record, mechanism, security and process.

Inside the checklist

01

The record — where SUMS is decided

Which software runs on each vehicle, which block combinations are approved, who approved every update — and can you prove it (RXSWIN)?

02

The mechanism and its security

The full UDS sequence, interrupted-flash recovery, flash driver in RAM, signed images verified by the bootloader with keys anchored in hardware.

03

One process — not three tools

End-of-line, workshop and OTA as one managed process with one record, per ISO 24089 — with the supplier evidence your authority will ask for.
