| Document title | UN R48 and UN R148: Proposal for Supplements to the 06, 07, 08, and 09 series and to the 01 series of amendments, respectively | ||||||||||
| Date | 10 Feb 2026 |
Proposal to clarify and modernize lamp installation and component requirements in UN R48 and UN R148 to address the growing variety of vehicle and lamp designs, particularly band/strip lamps extending across the full width of the vehicle. Key changes include: removing the “band/strip” terminology and expanding the definition of a pair of lamps to cover full-width designs; removing the three-device maximum for Y-lamps to ensure technology neutrality; adding a new paragraph §5.5.5 defining a pair as a two-lamp system; relocating light source requirements from UN R48 to UN R148 §4.7.3 to ensure at least one light source per side; removing the 0.8-metre minimum length requirement; and clarifying that definitions in §2.4.10 apply only to the relevant vehicle categories. Minor amendments to UN R148 include updated provisions for light source positioning, clarification of §4.8.1.3, and new sampling provisions in §4.8.11 for testing band/strip lamps. Further details can be found in informal document GRE-94-03. |
