Proposal to refine the requirements for lamps equipped with several light sources, including in systems fitted with an operating tell-tale that indicates the failure of any one of these light sources. In the case of failure of any one light source in a single lamp containing more than one light source, either the light intensity must comply with the minimum intensity required in the table of standard light distribution in space or, for lamps used in systems where a tell-tale indicates the failure of any one of the light sources, the light intensity in the axis of reference must be at least 50 per cent of the minimum intensity required.

Correction to the proposal for a collective amendment to Regulations Nos. 7, 23, 38, 48, 77, 91 and 119. Since the cornering lamp projects a beam to the left and right of the reference axis, it is not relevant to check the photometric values in the reference axis (HV). Therefore, the test point at 2.5°D, 45°L or R shall be used.

Revised proposal (removing the section on UN R48 and incorporating corrections noted in document GRE-76-07) to refine the requirements for lamps equipped with several light sources, including in systems fitted with an operating tell-tale that indicates the failure of any one of these light sources. In the case of failure of any one light source in a single lamp containing more than one light source, either the light intensity must comply with the minimum intensity required in the table of standard light distribution in space or, for lamps used in systems where a tell-tale indicates the failure of any one of the light sources, the light intensity in the axis of reference must be at least 50 per cent of the minimum intensity required. This collective amendment addresses Regulations Nos. 7, 23, 38, 77, 91 and 119. The proposals concerning UN R48 will be resubmitted for consideration during the 77th GRE session.

Proposal to

1. insert provisions for the use of incandescent light sources in the case of light source modules and lamps with non-replaceable light sources,
2. update the Conformity of Production (CoP) requirements,
3. reference the compliance requirements for installation contained in Regulations Nos. 48, 53, 72 and 86,
4. clarify the definition of “type”, with regard to manufacturer, trade names and marks,
5. introduce editorial improvements to the requirements for markings,
6. align the text in the header row of the table in paragraph 6.1 (light emitted by the lamps) with the definitions used in Regulation No. 48 for the installation of “single lamps”, “lamps marked D” and “interdependent lamps,
7. align the text of paragraph 6.1.6. with the definition of “single lamp” introduced by GRE/2014/6 (Supplement 14 to the 04 Series of amendments, Supplement 7 to the 05 Series of amendments and Supplement 5 to the 06 Series of amendments of Regulation No. 48),
8. correct the reference to paragraph 4.2.2.6. in the header of the table in paragraph 6.1.,
9. correct the title of the Regulation by removing the exception of motorcycles pursuant to Supplement 11 to the 02 series of amendments,
10. remove the requirement to indicate the rated wattage in the marking of lamps equipped with electronic light source control gear and/or non-replaceable light sources and/or light source module(s), and
11. harmonize requirements on light source failure in lamps equipped with multiple light sources across UN Regulations, including UN R7.

During October 2016, GRE-76 adopted collective amendments (GRE/2016/31) to align the requirements of lamp regulations (7, 23, 38, 48, 77, 91 and 119) to guarantee the conformity of the lamp in case of any failure or the mandatory indication that a failure had occurred. This means that when a failure indication signal is provided by the lamp, the vehicle shall be equipped with a tell-tale indicating the failure. Thus, amendments were proposed for Regulation No. 48 to specify the modes of displaying the corresponding failure (see GRE/2016/7). Subsequently, some GRE experts requested GTB to clarify the text of its proposal. This proposal amends UN R48 with respect to all lamps affected by GRE/2016/31 to include the failure indication requirement. The proposal does not apply to the failure indication requirements already in UN R 48 prior to the last (76th) GRE session.
