Document GRSG/2017/18

Proposal for Supplement 10 to the original series of amendments and Supplement 2 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 121

113th GRSG session (10-13 Oct 2017)

Status: Superseded

Submitted by OICA

Proposal to clarify that footnote ¹⁸ of Table 1 applies to telltale no. 1 (Master lighting switch) when it is combined with telltale no. 19 (Position, side marker, and/or end-outline marker lamps). Footnote ¹⁸ states, “Symbol may be shown in other colours than specified in column 5 in order to convey different meanings according to the general colour coding as proposed in paragraph 5. of ISO 2575-2004.”

Discussions and Outcomes

114th GRSG session (9-13 Apr 2018)

Agenda item 9. | Regulation No. 121 (Identification of controls, tell-tales and indicators)

GRSG/2018/6

43. Recalling discussions at the previous GRSG session on the handling of colour changes of controls, tell-tales and indicators, the expert from OICA presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/6 as a long-term solution. He explained that the proposal aimed to remove the references in Table 1 to footnote 18 and to only keep the reference to standard ISO 2575:2004. GRSG noted study reservations by the experts from France and the United Kingdom. GRSG agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session.

174th WP.29 session (12-16 Mar 2018)

Agenda item 4.8.11. | Proposal for Supplement 10 to UN Regulation No. 121 (Identification of controls, tell-tales and indicators)

Agenda item 4.8.12. | Proposal for Supplement 3 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 121 (Identification of controls, tell-tales and indicators)

WP.29/2018/25
WP.29/2018/26

This proposal (WP.29/2018/25) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-seven Contracting Parties out of the 51 applying UN R121 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-seven voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining. This proposal (WP.29/2018/26) was adopted by the World Forum.

113th GRSG session (10-13 Oct 2017)

Agenda item 10. | Regulation No. 121 (Identification of controls, tell-tales and indicators)

GRSG-113-39
GRSG-113-42

49. The expert from OICA presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/18 to clarify footnote ¹⁸ where tell-tales Nos. 1 and 19 were combined. Some experts were of the opinion that footnote ¹² already offers that possibility. Following the discussion, the expert from OICA offered an alternative proposal GRSG-113-39 that simplifies the handling of colour changes of tell-tales and to remove footnote 18 and all references to it. The expert from France preferred to keep the existing text of footnote ¹⁸ and to only insert under symbol No. 1 a reference to footnote ¹⁸, as reflected in GRSG-113-42. GRSG agreed to go forward with a two-step approach and adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/18 as reproduced below.

No.	Column 1	Column 2	Column 3	Column 4	Column 5
No.	Item	Symbol ²	Function	Illumination	Colour
1.	Master lighting switch Tell-tale may not act as the tell-tale for the position (side) lamps	^{1, 18}	Control	No
1.		^{1, 18}	Tell-tale ¹²	Yes	Green

50. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1 as draft Supplement 10 to the original series of amendments and Supplement 3 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 121 for consideration at their March 2018 sessions, subject to the endorsement of the Working Party on Lighting and Light Signalling (GRE) at its October 2017 session. (Note by the secretariat: At its seventy-eighth session, GRE endorsed the principles for amending UN Regulation No. 121 as proposed by GRSG.)

51. As a second step, GRSG requested the secretariat to distribute GRSG-113-39 with an official symbol, for consideration at the next GRSG session and to also circulate it all WP.29 Working Parties concerned.

112th GRSG session (24-28 Apr 2017)

Agenda item 11. | Regulation No. 121

GRSG-112-24

39. The expert from OICA introduced GRSG-112-24 to clarify the application of footnote ¹⁸ in the case where tell-tales Nos. 1 and 19 were combined. Some experts were of the opinion that footnote ¹² already offers that possibility and that the proposed amendment was superfluous. GRSG agreed to take a final position on this subject at its next session and requested the secretariat to circulate GRSG-112-24 with an official symbol.
