ECE R62 is a United Nations Economic Commission for Europe regulation that establishes uniform provisions concerning the approval of motor vehicles with regard to anti-theft protection systems.

What vehicles does ECE R62 apply to?

ECE R62 applies to motor vehicles including motorcycles, passenger cars, and commercial vehicles equipped with anti-theft protection systems such as immobilizers and security devices.

How does ECE R62 affect motorcycle key systems?

ECE R62 affects motorcycle key systems by setting security requirements for immobilizers, key authentication, and anti-theft devices to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation and theft.

What are the key security requirements?

Key security requirements include immobilizer effectiveness, key authentication protocols, tamper resistance, and protection against unauthorized access or bypass attempts.
