Proposal to introduce “interdependent lamps” into Regulation No. 6, taking into account the function of direction indicators as hazard warning signals, and to introduce provisions for direction indicator lamps with variable apparent surfaces.
23. The expert from GTB introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/47 as amended by GRE-70-05, introducing “interdependent lamps” into Regulation No. 6. GRE adopted this proposal as amended in Annex IV to the session report, but refused the amendment proposed in GRE-70-24. GRE requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2014 sessions as draft Supplement 26 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 6 and as draft Supplement 4 to the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48.
24. The expert from France proposed the correction noted below to the French version of para. 5.6. of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/47. GRE requested the secretariat to take this correction into account when preparing the corresponding WP.29 document.
For “feux arrière de position”, read “feux arrière de direction”
25. The expert from Germany presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/60 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/61, two revised proposals by France and Germany introducing provisions of direction indicators with variable apparent surface. He gave a practical demonstration supporting the proposal. The expert from OICA presented a study supporting the benefits of such systems (GRE-70-16). The expert from France proposed amendments (GRE-70-43) to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/61, addressing comments received during the session. GRE noted the intention to only allow the principle of variable apparent surface for direction indicators. GRE agreed on and adopted these proposals as amended by Annex V to the session report and requested the secretariat to submit them to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2014 sessions as draft Supplement 26 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 6, as draft Supplement 13 to the 04 series of amendments and as draft Supplement 6 to the 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48.
26. GRE agreed to revisit this item at its next session and consider the prohibition of variable apparent surface direction indicators for a hazard warning signal and may consider its adoption at its next session for the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48.
