Mr. de Visser introduced document SLR-08-03 pointing out that Part A is waiting for lamp Regulations to be changed and accordingly, he will update light source regulations. Moreover he reported that Part B is already implemented for signalling lamps and will be done later for forward lighting regulations.

The participants quickly reviewed each item of Part B. The following is a list of the most significant exchanges:

Mr. Genone expressed some concerns to move the use restrictions in the Resolution because, in his opinion, the Resolution for Light Sources should only be a catalogue while the use restrictions should remain in the Regulations. Mr. Pichon shared the same opinion.

Mr. de Visser explained that “use restrictions” are an option in the lamp regulations and do not change the requirements to all lamps in a lamp regulation. He recalled that his explanation was well understood in WP.29 with his past presentation in WP.29 session in November 2015, where WP.29 reconfirmed the light sources simplification approach. Therefore he strongly recommended not to change direction at this point as such a change would make the simplification by a Resolution ineffective.

It was agreed not to change the current direction but Mr. de Visser was asked to clearly explain this issue in his presentation at GRE-75 to avoid a long discussion.

With regards to the deletion of 6V Light Sources, Mr. de Visser suggested to delete the 6V systems as those light sources are no longer allowed for new type approved lamps. Mr. Pichon observed that such a deletion would be a change of requirements and therefore it should be modified during the step 2.

It was agreed to address the deletion of the 6V systems during the 2nd step of the simplification work.
