UN R121: Proposal for Supplement 10 to the original series of amendments and Supplement 2 to the 01 series of amendments
UN R121: Proposal for Supplement 10 to the original series of amendments and Supplement 2 to the 01 series of amendments
Proposal pursuant to discussions on the application of footnote 18 under Table 1 concerning tell-tale symbols and the use of colours to convey different meanings. ISO standard 2575-2004, para. 5.1. allows for the use of different colours to convey a change in the operating condition. This proposal would remove the current footnote 18 text and application of the footnote to telltales 2, 9-12, and 19 pending a decision on the proposal to apply a revised footnote to the master lighting switch (tell-tale 1). Paragraph 5.4.1.1. of UN R121 references ISO 2575-2004 which was developed to simplify the application of UN R121 when colour changes are adopted in other UN Regulations; however, OICA submits that the footnote which references ISO 2575-2004 in relation to specific lighting devices or systems creates a degree of confusion. (If approved, this proposal would likely impact Supplement 3 to the 01 series rather than Supplement 2 given that WP.29 at its November 2017 session adopted the proposal to add a telltale and symbols for “Accident Emergency Call System (AECS)” and to align UN R121 with the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 16 as Supplement 2 to the 01 series.)

UN R121: Proposal to clarify transitional provisions
UN R121: Proposal to clarify transitional provisions
Proposal to clarify the treatment of extensions of existing approvals under the new transitional provision guidelines (“Until 31 December 2019, Supplement 2 to the 01 series of amendments to this Regulation may not apply to extensions of approvals that were originally granted prior to the entry into force of Supplement 2.”)
GRSG agreed to resume consideration of a proposal by OICA (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/6) to simplify the handling of colour changes of controls, tell-tales and indicators and to remove footnote 18 from the table.
