Proposal to further update UN R86 which highlights changes being made to Supplement 6 (document WP.29/2015/26 based on GRE/2014/30) adopted during the March 2015 WP.29 session.

Proposal from the secretariat to correct an error introduced by Supplement 8 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 74 (WP.29/2014/23).

Proposal as approved by the GRSG to delete provisions regarding the optical display of the status of the vehicle alarm system outside the passenger compartment in order to avoid driver distraction by and/or confusion of such exterior lighting with primary lighting and signaling equipment required under UN R48.

Discussions have arisen within GRRF concerning failure warnings for trailer direction indicators and brake lights. This paper alerts GRE to the absence of a standardized approach to communicating such lighting failures for trailers which may be a subject for consideration under UN R48.

Proposals from the GRE Task Force on Tell-tales to clarify the regulations.

Proposal to delete the angle of incidence provision that was developed to ensure that the vehicle registration plate is illuminated. Given current technologies (e.g., LED lamps), the performance requirements of Annex 5 can be met without reference to the angle of incidence.

Proposal to enable the designation of manufacturer electromagnetic compatibility facilities as approved test laboratories for the purpose of assessing conformity with UN R10.

Proposal to improve the applicability of paragraph 5.7.1.3.1. (concerning the separation of grouped direction indicator and stop lamps in order to avoid “signal mix”). To improve the present requirements of paragraph 5.7.1.3.1.on the basis of the colour changes concept, three alternative approaches for a suitable separation of direction indicator lamps and stop lamp are proposed:
a) the improved test of the existing paragraph 5.7.1.3.1. clarifies its application to lamps composed of more than one part and deletes the concept of “adjacent” parts of the lamps (that in the past led to different interpretations) in favour of a description of the condition of application of the requirement;
b) the unchanged text of the following paragraph 5.7.1.3.2.;
c) a new paragraph 5.7.1.3.3. to provide for specific electrical connections of the involved functions, in conjunction with the requirements of paragraph 5.9.2.

Proposal to introduce variable daytime running lamps into the regulation.

Proposal to introduce provisions for variable intensity daytime running lamps (improving performance under certain outlying ambient light conditions) and to update the heat resistance testing in line with technological progress.

Proposal to introduce provisions for “side-illuminating lamps” that aim to improve the driver’s visibility over the opposite side of the road (on-coming traffic side) and its buffer zone to mitigate the impact of glare from on-coming vehicles.
