Text prepared by the International Automotive Lighting and Light Signalling Expert Group (GTB) to amend the provisions concerning the heat test requirements for conformity of production.

24. The expert from GTB introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/10, updating the heat resistance test requirements. GRE adopted this proposal (not amended) and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2013 sessions as draft (see paras. 20 and 21):

(a) Supplement 5 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 98,
(b) Supplement 5 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 112,
(c) Supplement 5 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 123.

Submitted by Germany in order to update the Conformity of Production (CoP) requirements.

20. The expert from Germany introduced the documents listed above, proposing simplifications of Conformity of Production (COP) requirements for these Regulations. The expert from the Netherlands expressed concerns that these proposals might introduce excessive tolerances by deleting the statistical confidence of 95 per cent requirement. The expert from Germany introduced GRE-69-33, GRE-69-34 and GRE-69-35 respectively amending ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/23, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/24 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/31, as reproduced in Annex V. GRE adopted these three proposals as amended by Annex V to the report as well as the remaining proposals (not amended), and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2013 sessions as draft (see para. 19 item (a) to (j)):

(a) Supplement 15 to the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 3,

(p) Supplement 4 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 119,
(q) Supplement 5 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 112.

Proposal to amend the provisions concerning the heat test requirements for Conformity of Production.

45. GRE recalled a number of documents referred back by WP.29 and agreed with the content of four revised documents re-submitted by the secretariat to the November 2014 session of WP.29 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/75/Rev.1, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/ 90/Rev.1, ECE/TRANS/ WP.29/2013/92/Rev.1, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/93/Rev.1).

Proposal to

1. amend update the Conformity of Production (CoP) requirements, including the provisions concerning the heat test requirements,
2. reference the compliance requirements for installation contained in Regulations Nos. 48, 53, 72 and 86,
3. clarify the definition of “type”, with regard to manufacturer, trade names and marks,
4. introduce editorial improvements to the requirements for markings,
5. correct errors in the references to “left-hand traffic” and “right-hand traffic” in the text and associated diagrams of Annex 2,
6. correct an inconsistency between the regulation text and Figure B of Annex 3,
7. amend the formula for the dirt mixture used in testing to address an error introduced by Supplement 9 to the 01 series of amendments to UN R45,
8. remove the HV measurement point from the photometric stability requirements for the passing beam (the HV measurement point remains a valid for the driving beam),
9. clarify the provisions for the stability of photometric performance during the heat test, with particular reference to the movement of the cut-off line, and
10. harmonize related requirements across Regulations Nos. 19, 98, 112, 113 and 123.
