GRE/2017/18
Proposal for amendment 1 to the original version of the Consolidated Resolution on the common specification of light source categories

With the publication of Revision 8 of Regulation No. 37 and the subsequent adoption of the Consolidated Resolution on the common specification of light source categories (R.E.5) (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2016/111), light source experts and users of light source Regulations have made the correct linkages between the Resolution and third party documents. This proposal corrects a number of minor editorial errors in sheets of filament light sources that were discovered while making such linkages. The proposal further includes a number of customary administrative updates of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) cap sheet numbers in the IEC cap sheet references.
