10. The expert of IWG SLR also introduced proposals that clarified and corrected the text of the 00 and 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 149 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2023/15). GRE agreed that the amended paragraph 3.2.2. from the 00 series amendments (part A of the document) should also be included in the 01 series of amendments (part B). Subject to this modification, GRE adopted the proposals and requested the secretariat to submit them for consideration and vote at the March 2024 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1 as draft Supplement 8 to the 00 series of amendments and draft Supplement 3 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 149.

6. (c) | UN Regulation No. 53 (Installation of Lighting and Light-Signalling Devices for L3 Vehicles).

29. The expert from Germany presented amendments that introduced adaptive front-lighting systems (AFS) for motorcycles. The proposal came in a package with an amendment proposal to UN Regulation No.149 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2023/17, GRE-89-15 and GRE-89-28). The expert from the Netherlands raised several questions and concerns, but eventually lifted his reservations. The expert of SAE International pointed out that throughout the text the term “passing beam” should be used rather than “dipped beam”, except for the definition in paragraph 2.23. Subject to this modification, GRE adopted the proposal, as laid down in GRE-89-28, and requested the secretariat to submit it for consideration and vote at the March 2024 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1 as draft Supplement 5 to the 03 series of amendments and draft Supplement 1 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 53, as well as part of draft Supplement 3 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 149.
