5. GRE considered ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2012/38 (amended by GRE-68-05) submitted by the expert from GTB revising the requirements on the replacement of light sources. GRE agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session on the basis of a revised proposal tabled by the expert from GTB, better addressing performance requirements and future technologies. 6. GRE considered a joint proposal from the experts of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom clarifying the test conditions related to the sensitivity of automatic/adaptive driving beam (ADB) sensor systems. GRE adopted this proposal (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2012/28 amended by GRE-68-22) as amended below and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2013 session as draft: (a) Supplement 11 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48 Paragraph 6.1.9.3.1.2. last indent, amend to read: “6.1.9.3.1.2. … To verify compliance with (a) and (b) above, the oncoming and preceding power driven vehicle (or vehicle-trailer combination) shall have position lamps (if applicable) and dipped-beam headlamps switched ON." 7. GRE considered ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2012/29 and GRE-68-16-Rev.1 clarifying the requirement for mandatory manual override for ADB control. GRE adopted the proposal as amended by Annex III to this report. GRE rejected GRE-68-13 proposing additional requirements in case of automatic reactivation. GRE requested the secretariat to submit the adopted proposal to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2013 sessions (see para. 6) (a) Supplement 11 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48 8. GRE adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2012/26, not amended, proposing to suppress the mandatory fitting of sensors for the adaptive main beam and Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) that detect retro-reflectors. The secretariat was requested to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2013 session as part of (see para. 6 and 7): (a) Supplement 11 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48 |
