Euro 7 Anti-tampering and Cybersecurity Framework

This document is a technical report that discusses the Euro 7 regulation, which introduces significant changes to European vehicle emissions law by incorporating anti-tampering and cybersecurity requirements. It outlines the intersection of environmental compliance with established cybersecurity frameworks, specifically UNECE R155 and R156, and standards ISO 21434 and ISO 24089. The report details how Euro 7 shifts the focus of emissions regulators to include questions about cybersecurity resilience and manipulation prevention throughout the vehicle lifecycle. It emphasizes the need for manufacturers to adapt their Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) processes to address emissions-specific cyber risks. Furthermore, the report explains the evolving role of type approval authorities, who are transitioning from gatekeepers to custodians of ongoing assurance, requiring continuous evidence of compliance. The document also compares the new anti-tampering requirements of Euro 7 with existing regulations, highlighting the necessity for a unified approach to emissions compliance and cybersecurity management.
