GRE | Session 68 | 16-18 Oct 2012

9. The Expert from Poland introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2012/27 proposing to remove the present 2000 lm borderline and the Light Emitting Diodes (LED) automatic levelling requirement. The proposal received several comments (GRE-68-20, GRE-68-31, GRE-68-32 and GRE-68-34).

10. GRE agreed with the suggestion of the expert from the Netherlands to concentrate requirements only on the “initial aiming” (and leave out the other parts on labelling, photometrics, etc.). It was also suggested that the proposal would focus on possible overlaps to the headlamp mounting height and would consider this “new approach” for the initial aiming requirements as an alternative to the existing (“old approach”) requirements in UN Regulation No. 48. GRE agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session on the basis of a revised proposal tabled by the expert from Poland including the suggestions mentioned above.

11. GRE noted that the World Forum (WP.29) referred back ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2011/99 and Corr. 1 for further consideration. GRE agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its April 2013 session. The expert from GTB introduced GRE-68-38, GRE-68-39 and GRE-68-40 providing a status report of the GTB’s activities on Glare and Visibility
