Comments address proposals EDO-05-03e and EDO-05-04e. On intuitiveness, the definition was agreed upon but concerns remain regarding ambiguity under self-certification system. Specific examples may be included such as door handle with gripping space, and mark/label/symbol on latch control. On power loss test, overall test procedures were agreed upon. Clarifications needed include normal riding position in 2.2.3., and whether interior test testers proceed with opening procedure after 60 minutes for all doors with 4 times repetition per door within 60 minutes proposed.

The Cross Matrix activity began with TFSL-02-07 (May 2021) defining the concept to assess regulation effects across different areas. TFVS-04-14 (Sep. 2021) clarified building a sound model. Early work 2021-2022 defined traffic and fleet scenarios through TFVS-05-06, TFVS-06-03, TFVS-07-08, and TFVS-06-05, which selected eight scenarios from residential areas to motorways. Activity decreased by 2023, with TFVS-12-06 calling for resumption. TFVS-17-07 compared model results from EU, Switzerland, Japan, and HMG Akustiklabor. Future steps include addressing L_max, traffic measure effects, opening the approach to L categories, and assessing progress from new RD-ASEP in UN R41 06 series.

This document addresses rear direction-indicator lamps mounted at low positions on vehicles. Republic of Korea reports increased public petitions and media articles regarding visibility and recognition concerns, particularly in congested traffic and for vehicles with higher driver seating positions like SUVs. UN Regulation No. 48 specifies direction-indicator lamp height requirements: not less than 350 mm and not more than 1,500 mm, or up to 2,100 mm under certain structural conditions. The presentation seeks feedback on similar issues from other countries and manufacturers.

Baseline document for amending UN R74 (based on WP.29/2024/91, SLR-71-07, SLR-71-7, SLR-66-01, and SLR-73-07). Key changes include: simplifying definitions; using “type-approved” and “type-approval” with hyphens per UN R48; replacing “vehicle type (moped)” with “type of vehicles of category L₁”; adding hyphenation to “direction-indicator lamp”; deleting “above” from paragraph references; clarifying UN R48 series; removing “to this Regulation” after Annex references; applying scientific notation for lumens; including electric vehicles; revising individual and general provisions; correcting signal lamp category errors; and using category symbols instead of lamp function names.

Draft amendments to UN R53 (based on SLR-71-07, SLR-71-7, SLR-66-01, SLR-73-07, SLR-75-05, and WP.29/2024/30) updates the baseline document for the 05 series of amendments. Key changes include: simplification of definitions and general specifications; consolidation of individual specifications; addition of EV inclusion and failure provisions; editorial harmonization with UN R48 baseline regarding hyphenation, terminology, and formatting; replacement of “visual failure tell-tale” with “tell-tale indicating failure” and “rear-end collision alert signal” with RECAS; standardization of vehicle category references; adoption of scientific notation with lumens; simplification of paragraphs 6.4 and 6; and revision of the transitional provisions.
