16. GRE took note of the progress report of the Task Force on Substitutes and Retrofits (TF SR) (GRE-83-48).

17. The expert from TF SR submitted a draft amendment to the Consolidated Resolution on the common specification of light source categories (R.E.5) which introduced a new Light Emitting Diode (LED) substitute light source category H11/LED/6 for road illumination applications (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2020/6). GRE adopted this proposal and requested the secretariat to submit it to the March 2021 session of WP.29. GRE also noted the equivalence criteria as amended for light sources used in road illumination applications (GRE-82-03) and requested the secretariat to publish them as a reference document on the GRE website.

18. The expert from TF SR presented a set of proposals for amendments to UN Regulations Nos. 37 and 128 as well as to R.E.5 which introduced LED replacement light sources into UN Regulation No. 37 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2020/15, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2020/16, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2020/17, GRE-83-05, GRE-83-11, GRE-83-12, GRE-83-13, GRE-83-14, GRE-83-15, GRE-83-16). The expert from OICA commented on these proposals GRE-83-38. The expert from France expressed concerns. GRE re-confirmed the approach chosen by TF SR and decided to revert to the package at the next session. Meanwhile, GRE requested TF SR to liaise with the expert from France with the aim to take into consideration his concerns.

19. The expert of GTB introduced proposals for amendments to R.E.5 ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2020/22. GRE adopted the proposals and requested the secretariat to submit them to the March 2021 session of WP.29.

20. GRE recalled that, at its previous session, it had adopted the requirements for LED substitute light sources for UN Regulation No. 149 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2019/19), but had postponed their submission to WP.29 and AC.1 with the intention to include them in the future 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 149.
