GRE will be informed about the progress of the Informal Working Group “Simplification of the Lighting and Light-Signalling Regulations” (IWG SLR).
GRE will address IWG SLR proposals for amendments to UN Regulations Nos. 48, 53, 74 and 86 that enable phasing out of the installation of older lamps/devices.
At its previous session, IWG SLR presented draft amendments to UN Regulations Nos. 148, 149 and 150 that introduce summary documents in the electronic Database for the Exchange of Type Approval documentation (DETA) to support the use of the Unique Identifier (UI). GRE decided to continue consideration at this session.
GRE is also invited to consider a request of IWG on DETA to provide clarity on the UN Regulations for which the UI marking may be applied.
At the previous session, in the context of possible replacement of traditional approval markings by UI, the International Motor Vehicle Inspection Committee (CITA) presented a proposal with the aim to ensure the availability of sufficient information on the device for periodic and roadside inspections. GRE agreed to revert to this proposal at this session.
Finally, GRE will be informed about the activities of IWG SLR on a new series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48 that introduces revised requirements for the headlamp levelling and will consider a revised proposal prepared by IWG SLR.
