OICA opposes proposed amendments to UN R48 paragraph 5 that would prohibit lighting devices not explicitly listed in paragraph 6. OICA contends the prohibition creates unnecessary manufacturer burden without safety benefits, conflicts with nationally permitted lamps, and falls outside the 1958 Agreement’s harmonization scope. OICA argues national enforcement, not type-approval restrictions, should manage device installation.
