This proposal would correct an error introduced into the regulation through Supplement 16.

Clarification of certain diagrams in the original proposal (document GRE/2014/15). Supplement 17 proposes to introduce the possibility of interdependent lamps for dedicated motorcycle lamps.

OICA comments on document GRE/2014/39 proposing to align UN R48 with the proposal approved by the GRSG to require the automatic activation of hazard warning lights in buses and coaches in the event of excess temperatures in the engine and/or other compartments.

Proposal to introduce type-approval provisions for lamps intended to provide supplemental lateral illumination of the road on the driver-side of the vehicle as a means to reduce the impact of glare from on-coming vehicle headlamps on driver vision and road visibility.

Revised proposal to introduce flashing side marker lamps for vehicles of categories M2, M3, N2, N3, O3 and O4 with the objective of improving the safety of vulnerable road users by informing them about the intended turns of buses and heavy goods vehicles and their trailers. This proposal replaces the version presented in document GRE/2014/33.

Proposals for the draft supplements to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 112 and to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 123.

Presentation in support of documents GRE/2014/35 and 2014/36 that would delete the requirement that the total objective luminous flux of all LED modules producing the principal passing (main low) beam of a headlamp be greater than or equal to 1000 lumens. UTAC/France argues that the requirement is design-restrictive, unnecessary given the objective criteria for luminous output and photometric grid points of the regulation, and obsolete given improvements in LED technologies.

Revised proposal (superseding document GRE/2014/7) to introduce the possibility of interdependent lamps for dedicated motorcycle lamps. The proposal reflects recent amendments to Regulations Nos. 6 and 7 and meets the visibility angle requirements of Regulations Nos. 50 and 53. The concern is that the rear trunk lid commonly used for four-wheeled vehicles may be adapted for future scooter type motorcycles to secure the storage space for helmet, etc. Current lamp requirements impose design constraints that may hamper the proper development of such storage features.

Revised proposal (superseding document GRE/2014/8) to allow for the installation of interdependent lamps for L3 category vehicles. The amendment also reflects recent amendments to Regulation No. 48, Supplement 2 to its 06 series of amendments and further includes some editorial corrections of current Regulation No. 53 texts. The concern is that the rear trunk lid commonly used for four-wheeled vehicles may be adapted for future scooter type motorcycles to secure the storage space for helmet, etc. Current lamp requirements impose design constraints that may hamper the proper development of such storage features.

Proposal to amend UN R3 in order to address the recent introduction of devices with a reduced light distribution to be mounted no higher than 750 mm. 1. The proposal would also require colorimetric and photometric testing to type approve each variation in color of an approved device.

Proposal to delete unnecessary markings for LED front fog lamps that have non-replaceable LED modules and to correct and clarify the requirements for colour measurement and ultraviolet (UV) testing of light emitting diode (LED) modules.

Proposal to amend the test procedure for reversing lamps and maneuvering lamps equipped with light sources other than filament lamps. Currently, the lamps are required to meet photometric parameters after one minute and 30 minutes of operation. Under normal use, these lamps are operated for no more than six minutes at a time. This proposal would set the second measurement point at 10 minutes rather than 30 minutes. This change would also align the procedure with SAE standard J1889.1.

Proposal to replace the current variety of test mixtures used to simulate dirt during the testing of lamps with a single uniform mixture. In addition, the proposal would replace the term “beech wood” with the phrase “produced from beech wood” to improve clarity.

Proposal to replace the current variety of test mixtures used to simulate dirt during the testing of lamps with a single uniform mixture. In addition, the proposal would replace the term “beech wood” with the phrase “produced from beech wood” to improve clarity.

Proposal to simplify measuring the objective luminous flux of light emitting diode (LED) module(s) and to replace the current variety of test mixtures used to simulate dirt during the testing of lamps with a single uniform mixture. In addition, the proposal would replace the term “beech wood” with the phrase “produced from beech wood” to improve clarity.

Proposal to replace the current variety of test mixtures used to simulate dirt during the testing of lamps with a single uniform mixture. In addition, the proposal would replace the term “beech wood” with the phrase “produced from beech wood” to improve clarity. The proposal would also simplify the measurement of the objective luminous flux of light emitting diode (LED) module(s) and correct the ultraviolet (UV) table in the regulation.

According to Regulation No. 119, cornering lamps that are equipped with light sources other than filament lamps, are required to meet the relevant photometric requirements after one minute and after 30 minutes of operation. However, under normal traffic conditions, these lamps are operated for no more than 6 minutes. This proposal would therefore would require the second test after 10 minutes instead of the current 30 minutes, in accordance with standard SAE J1889.

Proposal to simplify measuring the objective luminous flux of light emitting diode (LED) module(s), correct the ultraviolet (UV) table, and to replace the current variety of test mixtures used to simulate dirt during the testing of lamps with a single uniform mixture. In addition, the proposal would replace the term “beech wood” with the phrase “produced from beech wood” to improve clarity.

Proposal to delete the requirement that the total objective luminous flux of all LED modules producing the principal passing (main low) beam of a headlamp be greater than or equal to 1000 lumens because the requirement is design-restrictive, unnecessary given the objective criteria for luminous output and photometric grid points of the regulation, and obsolete given improvements in LED technologies.

The Working Party on General Safety (GRSG) has approved a proposal to require the automatic activation of hazard warning lights in buses and coaches in the event of excess temperatures in the engine and/or other compartments. This proposal would align UN R48 with this new requirement so a complete set of amendments can be presented for adoption at the March 2015 session of the World Forum.

Proposal to align the requirements of UN Regulation No. 10 with regard to electromagnetic compatibility of trolleybuses with the electrical standards in Annex 12 to UN Regulation No. 107.

Revised text originally submitted to WP.29 for its November 2013 session, but returned by the Forum due to concerns over the Conformity of Production (CoP) provisions. This revised version deletes the CoP provisions and is submitted pending also a review by GRE at its October 2014 session. This supplement completes the deletion of distributed lighting systems (DLS), or rather light generators, from the regulation.

Proposal to amend the provisions concerning the heat test requirements for Conformity of Production (CoP) and to complete the deletion of distributed lighting systems (DLS) (light generators) from the regulations.

Proposal to amend the provisions concerning the heat test requirements for Conformity of Production.

Proposal to correct provisions on bend lighting for motorcycles recently adopted by WP.29 as Supplement 2 (document WP.29/2012/83).
