Proposal to amend para. 6.27.9.1. to clarify that the direction indicator lamp used for the answer-back signal may be operated with a luminous intensity not exceeding its original specification, and to restructure the paragraph into subsections (a), (b), and (c) specifying maximum luminous intensity limits, direction indicator lamp operation, and prohibited lamp types.

Proposal to renumber and amend para. 13.3. and related subparagraphs to revise transitional provisions. Contracting Parties shall not refuse type approvals under the 07 series from its official entry into force. From 1 September 2029, Contracting Parties need not accept type approvals from preceding series first issued after that date. Contracting Parties shall continue to accept approvals from the 06 series for vehicles not equipped with an Automated Driving System (ADS) or for vehicle systems, equipment and parts not part of an ADS which are not affected by changes introduced by the 07 series, and shall continue to accept approvals from the 06 series first issued before 1 September 2029 and extensions thereof.

Status report on the Informal Working Group on Electromagnetic Compatibility covering recent meetings held in May, July and September 2026. The report addresses current work on the 07 and 08 series of amendments to UN R10, including a new supplement by OICA to clarify transitional provisions regarding Automated Driving Systems, and discussion of various technical proposals for the 08 series covering AC DC chargers for REESS, radiated requirements, electromagnetic immunity evaluation methods, testing conditions, and harmonics observation. Upcoming sessions are scheduled for December 2026, January 2027 and March 2027.

• Insert new para. 6.29. specifying requirements for energy status indicator including presence, number, position, electrical connections, activation conditions, intensity, pulsation, flashing, and apparent surface area,
• Insert new para. 6.30. specifying lamp test mode requirements including activation conditions, duration, and operation,
• Amend Annex 1 to add items 9.33., 9.34., and 9.34.1. for lamp test mode and energy indicator approval statements,
• Amend Annex 14 to add observing areas for energy status indicators,
• Amend Annex 20 to add technical provisions for energy status indicator intensity based on ambient light levels.

TF-LUPC is established to review requirements of the current suite of lamps under parked conditions and to develop, where necessary, within the framework of UN R48 a proposal pertaining to Energy Indicator and Lamp test mode. The task force is open to all GRE participants and is managed by two Co-Chairs (Japan/Netherlands) and a Secretary (OICA). Decisions are reached by consensus. STEP 2 aims to present an informal document at GRE-95 in October 2026 and a first formal document at GRE-96 in April 2027 for submission to WP.29 as part of the 10 Series of amendments to UN R48.

Status report on the Task Force on Lamp Under Parked Conditions (TF-LUPC). The group held two meetings since the 94th GRE session and continued developing a proposal on energy status indicators and lamp test modes. Open issues require advice from GRE experts on the number and switching conditions of energy status indicators, their size and colour, and on lamp test mode categories, AFS modes and classes, test duration, and inclusion of warning lamps. The group plans to submit a final proposal to the 96th GRE session in April 2027 for integration into the 10 Series of amendments to UN R48.

Discussion paper presenting a proposal for technical requirements for an Automated Driving System marker lamp to improve social acceptance and facilitate traffic management and enforcement. The proposal addresses installation position (mandatory front and rear, optional side), visibility angle equivalent to direction-indicators, luminous intensity variation (continuous illumination without flashing, except nighttime dimming), combined use with direction-indicators (ADS marker lamp turned off when direction-indicator operates on same side), and applicable vehicle categories (M, N, L₆, L₇, and O when towed by automated driving vehicle). Survey results from Japan, UK, US, and Germany indicate approximately 70% of respondents support distinguishing automated from manual driving modes externally.
