Agenda item 7. (b) Other Regulations: Regulation No. 53 (Installation of lighting and light-signalling devices for L3 vehicles)

Proposal to update the definition of “stop lamp” (in line with similar definitions in UN R7 and UN R48) so that it would allow the use of different stop lamp activation methods for powered two-wheelers (e.g. by the application of a retarder or a similar device). A corresponding proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 78 (GRRF/2017/14) has been submitted to the September 2017 session of the Working Party on Braking and Running Gear.
