Proposal for a Supplement to the 04 series of amendments and a Supplement to the 05 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48
Proposal to extend the modifications that introduced provisions for interdependent direction indicator lamps in the 06 series of amendments to UN R48 to the 04 and 05 series in order to avoid an unjustified design restriction for approvals under the earlier versions of the regulation.

Proposal to amend UN regulation No. 48 concerning the activation of side marker lamps for turning heavy goods vehicles (Germany)
Proposal to amend UN regulation No. 48 concerning the activation of side marker lamps for turning heavy goods vehicles
Proposal to introduce flashing side marker lamps for vehicles of categories N2, N3, O3 and O4. The objective of this provision is to improve the safety of vulnerable road users by better informing them about the intention of a heavy goods vehicle to make a turn. Germany believes this to be a simple measure that will improve the safety level especially for cyclists and pedestrians located in the blind spot area of a heavy goods vehicle.

OICA proposal for amendments to the 04 , 05 and 06 series of amendments of Regulation No. 48 (OICA)
OICA proposal for amendments to the 04 , 05 and 06 series of amendments of Regulation No. 48
Presently, UN R48 requires that reverse lights be switched off when cornering lights are switched off. OICA argues that the simultaneous lightning of both cornering lamps for slow maneuvers in forward motion (e.g., while parking a vehicle) can increase safety by improved illumination of surroundings. Therefore, OICA proposes that cornering lights be allowed to remain on as long as the vehicle speed does not exceed 10 km/h.

Proposal for Supplement 4 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48
Proposal for Supplement 4 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48
Proposal to reduce the minimum speed for activation of E-class passing beams from 70 km/h to 60 km/h and to prescribe clear alternatives to either detect motorway conditions with sensors or only activate the E mode above a speed of 110km/h. Moreover, the proposal extends the provisions to all vehicles. In addition, the proposal introduces “interdependent lamps”, taking into account the function of direction indicators as hazard warning signals.
