Submitted by Germany proposing to insert provisions for the use of incandescent light sources in the case of light source modules and lamps with non-replaceable light sources. This proposal supersedes document GRE/2012/20 and informal document GRE-68-03.

19. The expert from Germany introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/17, proposing requirements on the use of non-replaceable filament lamps in light sources modules and signalling lamps and referencing to paragraph 2.11 of the IEC 60809, Edition 3 standard. The Chair noted that this standard was not final. He recalled GRE-68-06 reproducing the relevant part of the draft standard. The expert from IEC confirmed that the IEC standard was now final and the proposed text was in compliance with the final text of the standard. The Chair reminded experts of their responsibility to ensure proper use of standards covered by copyrights in their proposals. GRE adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/17 (not amended) and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2013 session as draft:

(a) Supplement 17 to the 00 series of amendments to Regulation No. 4;
(b) Supplement 25 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 6;
(c) Supplement 23 to the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 7;

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.

Proposal to:

1. insert provisions for the use of incandescent light sources in the case of light source modules and lamps with non-replaceable light sources,
2. update the Conformity of Production (CoP) requirements,
3. reference the compliance requirements for installation contained in Regulations Nos. 48, 53, 72 and 86,
4. clarify the definition of “type”, with regard to manufacturer, trade names and marks,
5. introduce editorial improvements to the requirements for markings,
6. remove content in paragraph 7.5 that should have been deleted when the text was moved to Annex 3, paragraph 3.3. (via Supplement 4 to the 01 series),
