Document WP.29/2017/20

Proposal for Supplement 18 to Regulation No. 4

171st WP.29 session (14-17 Mar 2017)

Status: Adopted

Proposal to

insert provisions for the use of incandescent light sources in the case of light source modules and lamps with non-replaceable light sources,
update the Conformity of Production requirements (CoP),
reference the compliance requirements for installation contained in Regulations Nos. 48, 53, 72 and 86 for application as warranted
clarify the definition of “type”, with regard to manufacturer, trade names and marks,
introduce editorial improvements to the requirements for markings,
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).

This supplement would consolidate UN R4 prior to its being superseded by the new regulations (forward lighting, light signalling, and retro-reflective devices) being drafted under the Simplification of Lighting Regulations program.

Discussions and Outcomes

171st WP.29 session (14-17 Mar 2017)

Agenda item 4.9.2. | Proposal for Supplement 18 to Regulation No. 4

This proposal (WP.29/2017/20) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-six Contracting Parties out of the 47 applying UN R4 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-six voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.

76th GRE session (25-28 Oct 2016)

Agenda item 4. | Simplification of lighting and light-signalling Regulations

GRE/2016/30

10. GRE reviewed and unanimously adopted the pending amendment proposals so as to consolidate the existing Regulations before they are frozen and superseded by three new Regulations that are in drafting:

ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/68,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/ 2013/69,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/71,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/72,
ECE/TRANS/ WP.29/2013/75¹,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/76,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/79,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/83,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/85,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/ 2013/86,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/87,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/88,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/89,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/90²,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/ 2013/92³,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/93⁴,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/94,
ECE/TRANS/ WP.29/2014/31,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/32,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/ GRE/2013/55/Rev.1,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2014/3,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/7,
ECE/TRANS/ WP.29/GRE/2015/16,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/23,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/ GRE/2016/11,
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2016/14⁵
and Annex IV to ECE/TRANS/ WP.29/GRE/75.

The secretariat was requested to consolidate these proposals, according to the principle ‘one WP.29 document per Regulation’, and to submit them to WP.29 and the Administrative Committee of the 1958 Agreement (AC.1) for consideration and vote at their March 2017 sessions. The experts from GTB, IEC and SAE volunteered to assist the secretariat by verifying the consolidated amendment proposals.

¹	Except for the part which was already adopted by WP.29 as ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/75/Rev.1 and Add.1 (note by the secretariat).
²	Except for the part which was already adopted by WP.29 as ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/90/Rev.1 (note by the secretariat).
³	Except for the part which was already adopted by WP.29 as ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/92/Rev.1 (note by the secretariat).
⁴	Except for the part which was already adopted by WP.29 as ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/93/Rev.1 (note by the secretariat).
⁵	Except for Section B on Regulation No. 45 which was already submitted to WP.29 as ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2016/77 (note by the secretariat).

13. The expert of GTB presented a proposal for amendments to Regulations Nos. 4, 6, 7, 23, 38, 50, 77, 87, 91 and 119 to harmonize the requirement for the marking of wattage for signal lighting functions with the requirement for lighting functions (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2016/30). GRE adopted the proposals and decided to submit them to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their March 2017 sessions as part of the consolidated amendment proposals (see para. 10 above). During the adoption, the expert from the UK questioned the urgency of the proposal.

71st GRE session (31 Mar-3 Apr 2014)

Agenda item 5. (e) | Regulations Nos. 3, 4, 6, 7, 19, 23, 38, 50, 69, 70, 77, 82, 87, 89, 91, 104, 112, 113, 119 and 123

GRE/2013/55/Rev.1
GRE/2014/3

30. Based on an updated proposal tabled by the expert from Italy (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/55/Rev.1), GRE resumed consideration of the insertion of compliance obligations with installation requirements, at the time of type approval of lighting components, according to the component UN Regulations. While several experts supported the proposal, some others were of the view that the underlying issue might go beyond the competence of GRE and that WP.29 should be asked for guidance. The Chair suggested clarifying and possibly rephrasing the wording “UN Regulations … and their series of amendments in force at the time of application for type approval”. GRE agreed to continue this discussion at the next session and decided that this proposal would become part of a horizontal document collecting common provisions of UN lighting and light-signalling Regulations (see agenda item 6 below).

31. The expert from GTB presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/3 clarifying the definition of “type” with regard to manufacturer, trade names and marks and to introduce editorial improvements to the requirements for markings. This document superseded ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/45 and GRE-70-02 adopted by GRE at its seventieth session. Various experts identified a number of issues which would require further consideration and clarification. GRE agreed to continue this discussion at the next session and suggested that ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/3 become part of a horizontal document collecting common provisions of UN lighting and light-signalling Regulations (see agenda item 6 below).

161st WP.29 session (12-15 Nov 2013)

Agenda item 4.6.2. | Proposal for Supplement 17 to Regulation No. 4 (Illumination of rear registration plates)

WP.29/2013/69
