4. | Simplification of Lighting and Light-Signalling UN Regulations

8. The experts of IWG SLR presented an updated proposal for a new 09 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48 that introduced revised requirements for headlamp levelling (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2020/8/Rev.3). GRE adopted the technical provisions of the proposal. In view of other proposals on the agenda that could become part of the new 09 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48, GRE agreed to address the transitional provisions for the new series under agenda item 6 (a).

6. (a) | UN Regulation No. 48 (Installation of Lighting and Light-Signalling Devices)

20. The expert from OICA proposed to prolong the transitional provisions for the 09 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48 (GRE-88-22-Rev.3 and GRE-88-23-Rev.2). As a compromise, GRE adopted the transitional provisions as contained in annex II to the session report.

21. The Chair summarized that the following draft amendments were adopted at this session and would become part of the draft 09 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48:

  1. Headlamp levelling (paragraph 8 above);
  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.
