GRE will address a proposal which was prepared by IWG SLR with the intention to introduce new requirements for headlamp levelling, in particular for the vertical inclination in relation to the dipped-beam headlamp mounting height.
GRE is invited to consider a revised proposal for a new series of amendments prepared by the experts from the Special Interest Group that defines the switching conditions of dipped-beam and Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) and the variable intensity of rear lamps in conjunction with traffic conditions.
GRE may wish to consider additional proposals for UN R48.

29. Based on a proposal of IWG SLR, GRE continued its deliberations for preparing a new series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48 with new requirements for headlamp aiming and automatic levelling (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2020/8/Rev.1). The expert from Poland held the view that the justification part contained mistakes and inconsistencies and recalled his earlier proposals on the subject (GRE-83-41). Several experts expressed their support to the IWG SLR proposal. 30. The expert from OICA proposed to keep an option of manual levelling (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2020/23 and GRE-83-31).
