Working Party on Lighting and Light-signalling | Session 72 | 20-22 Oct 2014
Geneva
Agenda Item 4. (b (i))
Proposal for amendments to the 04, 05 and 06 series of amendments

9. Taking into account the recent GTB study (GRE-71-32), the expert from France proposed to delete a design restrictive requirement for an automatic levelling device for all headlamps with LED light sources, irrespective of their luminous flux (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2014/34). GRE agreed that this proposal should be tackled at the next session, in conjunction with the GTB proposals on visibility and glare issues (see para. 14 below).

10. The expert from Germany introduced a proposal on the activation of a hazard warning signal in case of excess temperature in certain compartments of M2 and M3 buses (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2014/39). The expert from OICA introduced an alternative proposal (GRE-72-17). GRE adopted the text as contained in Annex V to the report and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their March 2015 sessions as draft Supplements to the 04, 05 and 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48.

11. The expert from OICA presented a proposal to allow the cornering lamps, used during reversing manoeuvres, to remain ‘ON’ until the vehicle’s forward speed is 10 km/h (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2014/40). GRE adopted this proposal and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their March 2015 sessions as a draft Supplements to the 04, 05 and 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48.
