Geneva
Agenda Item 3.6.4.
Working Party on Lighting and Light-Signalling (GRE) (Eighty-seventh session, 25-28 October 2022)

43. The Chair of GRE reported on the results of the eighty-seventh session of GRE (for details, see the report in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/87).

44. He pointed out that for UN Regulations Nos. 148, 149 and 150, GRE had considered first draft summary documents that should be placed in the electronic Database for the Exchange of Type Approval documentation (DETA) to support the use of the Unique Identifier (UI). Pending the guidance of WP.29 and/or IWG on DETA, GRE agreed to resume considerations on that matter at its next session. In this context, the representative of OICA pointed out the importance of the IWG on DETA guidance on the use of UI and summary documents for all GRs.

45. He further mentioned that, following in-depth discussions, GRE had finally reached a consensus on a new diagram for headlamp aiming and, on that basis, had requested the IWG on Simplification of Lighting and Light-Signalling Regulations (SLR) to prepare a final proposal for a new series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48 for consideration at the next session.

46. He pointed out that GRE and its Task Force on Autonomous Vehicle Signalling Requirements (TF on AVSR) were closely following the GRVA and IWG on FRAV recommendations on ADS external light-signalling and awaiting final guidance from WP.29 to start preparing its own proposals.

47. The World Forum noted that GRE had re-elected by acclamation Mr. T. Kärkkäinen (Finland) as Chair and Mr. D. Rovers (Netherlands) as Vice-Chair for the sessions of GRE scheduled in the year 2023.
