Working Party on Lighting and Light-signalling | Session 90 | 29 Apr-3 May
Geneva
Agenda Item 7. (a)
UN Regulation No. 148 (Light-Signalling Devices)

22. The expert from GTB proposed corrections in the communication form (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2024/6). The expert from France suggested further clarification. GRE adopted the proposal, as amended by GRE-90-39, and requested the secretariat to submit it for consideration and vote at the November 2024 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1 as draft Supplement 6 to the 00 series and draft Supplement 3 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 148.

23. The experts from Germany and the United Kingdom reported on a direction indicator of category 5 with sequential activation that had been type approved (GRE-90-31). These experts reminded that, according to UN Regulations Nos. 6 and 148, sequential activation of the light sources was only allowed for direction indicators of categories 1, 2, 11 and 12, but not for categories 5 and 6. Therefore, they held the view that the approval of the category 5 direction indicator with sequential activation did not conform to the requirements of the UN Regulations and should be considered invalid. GRE concurred with this view.
