Proposal to amend para. 5.10.3. to exclude retro-reflective devices, retro-reflective markings, lighting devices fitted for interior lighting, and reversing projections from the requirements for “red light to the front” and “white light to the rear”. The proposal aims to eliminate unnecessary testing burdens on functions that never emit light by themselves and would always meet the emission requirement of less than 0.25 cd by definition. The exemption aligns with Vienna Convention provisions and reflects an original intent from over twenty years prior.
