What the notification says

This document specifies the general requirements, test items, and test methods for the compliance testing of road traffic rules applicable to intelligent and connected vehicles. This document applies to intelligent connected vehicles equipped with automated driving systems; for other road transport vehicles equipped with automated driving function（including automated parking system）and combined driver assistance system that undergo compliance testing with road traffic rules, the same provisions shall apply. This document also applies during the period when intelligent connected vehicles are permitted on public roads, the automated driving system undergoes a change in driving capabilities, experiences an expansion of its active area, or is assessed as posing traffic safety risks, necessitating supplementary compliance testing with road traffic rules.
