  2. Device transition (paragraph 11);
  3. Park condition (paragraph 19);
  4. Manoeuvring lamps on trailers (paragraph 16);
  5. Visibility of red light towards the front and/or white light toward the rear (paragraph 18); and
  6. Transitional provisions (paragraph 20).

22. GRE decided to submit the above proposals for consideration and vote at the March 2024 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1 as a new 09 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48. At its next session in October 2023, GRE agreed to editorially confirm these proposals without modifying their substantial content and requirements. To this end, GRE suggested that a consolidated text of the draft 09 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48 be prepared.
