From Euro 7 to GB 47955, read per program.
Automotive regulatory compliance monitoring across type-approval, safety and standards bodies in every market. RegWatch reads each in its own language and names the vehicle types and programs a change reaches.
What an automotive and mobility team sees
Rennvik, a fictional group headquartered in Malmö, Sweden, runs RegWatch on its regulators. This is the alert it received for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s technical standard of 2 Jul 2026.

How automotive and mobility teams run it
Driver assistance in China
GB 47955-2026 sets mandatory safety requirements for combined driver-assistance systems from 1 January 2027, read in Chinese. The alert names the China variant’s system and the UN R171 evidence that now needs China-specific support.
Euro 7 type approvals
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1762 sets the brake-particle test method that Euro 7 applies to new M1 and N1 types from 29 November 2026. The obligation carries the test plan and the technical service booking as evidence.
Circularity and crash data
The End-of-Life Vehicles Regulation applies from 1 September 2028, with recycled-plastic targets to follow, and NHTSA moved expanded event data recorder capture to a phase-in from the same date. Both are tracked to the programs they reach.
Supplier agreements
RegWatch Legal reviews brake, battery and software supplier agreements for test data, change notification and audit duties, one row per supplier, each cell cited. Outputs are drafts for professional review.
Questions
Can RegWatch read Chinese standards and MIIT notices?
Yes. Sources are read in the language they publish in: the GB 47955-2026 alert quotes MIIT’s Chinese text verbatim and explains it in English. Your team reviews the original beside the reasoning.
Do you cover UNECE regulations?
Yes. UNECE WP.29 publishes the UN Regulations that type approvals in many markets rely on, and it can sit on a watchlist beside the European Commission, NHTSA and MIIT.
Where does our data live?
In RegWatch’s cloud, or in your own cloud account with Private VPC: AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, Oracle Cloud or another provider. Tenant isolation is enforced in the database with Postgres row-level security, and customer content is not used to train generalized AI models by default.
