17. The expert from TF SR submitted a draft amendment to the Consolidated Resolution on the common specification of light source categories (R.E.5) which introduced a new Light Emitting Diode (LED) substitute light source category H11/LED/6 for road illumination applications (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2020/6). GRE adopted this proposal and requested the secretariat to submit it to the March 2021 session of WP.29. GRE also noted the equivalence criteria as amended for light sources used in road illumination applications (GRE-82-03) and requested the secretariat to publish them as a reference document on the GRE website.

19. The expert from Germany also introduced equivalence criteria for LED substitute light source categories which substitute the corresponding filament light source categories (GRE-80-02), as well as the interlock solution, for the BA15-cap system developed by IEC (GRE-80-03). GRE decided to keep GRE-80-02 as a reference document and took note of GRE-80-03.
