Proposal to further update UN R86 which highlights changes being made to Supplement 6 (document WP.29/2015/26 based on GRE/2014/30) adopted during the March 2015 WP.29 session.

Discussions have arisen within GRRF concerning failure warnings for trailer direction indicators and brake lights. This paper alerts GRE to the absence of a standardized approach to communicating such lighting failures for trailers which may be a subject for consideration under UN R48.

Proposal from the secretariat to correct an error introduced by Supplement 8 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 74 (WP.29/2014/23).

Proposals from the GRE Task Force on Tell-tales to clarify the regulations.

Proposal to introduce provisions for “side-illuminating lamps” that aim to improve the driver’s visibility over the opposite side of the road (on-coming traffic side) and its buffer zone to mitigate the impact of glare from on-coming vehicles. This submission supersedes the earlier formal document GRE/2015/6.

Proposal to introduce provisions for “side-illuminating lamps” that aim to improve the driver’s visibility over the opposite side of the road (on-coming traffic side) and its buffer zone to mitigate the impact of glare from on-coming vehicles. This submission supersedes the earlier document GRE/2015/19.

Proposal to clarify the requirements with regard to daytime running lamps and direction indicators in order to prevent DRL from masking or otherwise interfering with the visibility of the direction indicator lamps. Germany believes that the current text produces different interpretations with different results that risk degrading vehicle safety.

Supplemental presentation in support of document GRE/2015/3: Proposal for Supplement 9 to the 05 series of amendments and Supplement 7 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48.

Proposal to delete the angle of incidence provision that was developed to ensure that the vehicle registration plate is illuminated. Given current technologies (e.g., LED lamps), the performance requirements of Annex 5 can be met without reference to the angle of incidence.

Proposal to reduce glare problems for drivers by deleting the exemption in Regulation No. 48 that allows manual leveling for dipped-beam headlamps, effectively mandating automatic leveling.

Comments on the proposal to introduce new requirements for automatic leveling systems as a means to reduce driver glare (document GRE/2015/5).

Comments on document GRE/2015/6 proposing to introduce provisions for “side-illuminating lamps” that aim to improve the driver’s visibility over the opposite side of the road (on-coming traffic side) and its buffer zone and to mitigate the impact of glare from on-coming vehicles.

Comments on the proposal to align the requirements of UN Regulation No. 10 with regard to electromagnetic compatibility of trolleybuses with the electrical standards in Annex 12 to UN Regulation No. 107 (document GRE/2014/41).

Proposal to allow LED light source approval based on photometric criteria in place of the current minimum criteria of 1000 lumens.

Presentation on activities, especially LED retrofit study.

This informal document was prepared by the informal group on Agricultural Vehicle Lighting Installation (AVLI) for the Phase II of updating Regulation No. 86 in order to show all the proposed changes for Phase II within a consolidated text of the regulation as amended by Phase I (adopted by WP.29 as document WP.29/2015/26). It is presented in addition to official document GRE/2015/43, providing a complete overview of the Regulation and thus facilitating the reading and understanding of the proposal.

Consolidated revision of UN R37 pursuant to the proposal for a new Resolution on common specifications for light source categories (document GRE/2015/28) prepared by the informal working group on the Simplification of Lighting Regulations.

Consolidated revision of UN R99 pursuant to the proposal for a new Resolution on common specifications for light source categories (document GRE/2015/28) prepared by the informal working group on the Simplification of Lighting Regulations.

Consolidated revision of UN R128 pursuant to the proposal for a new Resolution on common specifications for light source categories (document GRE/2015/28) prepared by the informal working group on the Simplification of Lighting Regulations.

This document prepared by the informal working group on the Simplification of Lighting Regulations (SLR) shows all content of the proposal for for a new Draft Resolution on the common specification of light source categories (document GRE/2015/28). It is consists of a new body text with definitions drawn from Regulations Nos. 37, 99, 128 and 48. The annexes were taken from the annexes 1 of Regulations No. 37, 99 and 128.

List of amendments pursuant to the proposals to simplify light source category regulations.

In November 2013, the GTB proposal for the simplification of the transitional provisions of Regulation No.48 was adopted by WP29 at its 161st session as Supplement 3 to the 06 series. Associated with this proposal was a decision that the secretariat would produce full consolidations of the 04 /05/06 series and these were introduced as Revisions 7, 8 and 9 respectively.

At that time, it was also agreed that GTB would produce a consolidation of the 03 series that would be posted on the UNECE Website for reference purposes. It was considered that a consolidation of the final (frozen) state of the 03 series would be useful as a reference for the vehicle manufacturers who may continue to apply for extensions to the original type approvals according to the 03 series. However, with the development of IWVTA and the revision of the 1958 Agreement, this consolidation may have value as “a version of a UN Regulation” as defined in the draft Revision 3.

This document is a consolidation produced by the experts of GTB and incorporates all valid text up to, and including, Supplement 5 to the 03 series of amendments (Date of entry into force: 09 December 2010). This consolidation is submitted to GRE for verification and for possible introduction to the UNECE website.

Revised proposal to delete in Regulation No. 53 the references to headlamps of Class B of Regulation No. 113.

Proposal to correct the transitional provisions with regard to the application of paragraph 6.2.7.6.1. in the 06 series of amendments in order to align with the 05 series of amendments.

Proposal to introduce a new optional “Class B1” headlamp. The proposal would establish photometric requirements for Class B1 based on average real performance of present Class B (halogen/LED) but would not include additional design restrictions such as the luminous flux of light source.

Proposal to introduce provisions concerning trolleybuses in line with the electrical standards in Annex 12 of UN Regulation No. 107.

Summary of discussions between the WP.29 secretariat and the UN Office of Legal Affairs concerning the efforts to restructure UN lighting and light-signalling regulations.

Further refinements from the GRE Task Force on Tell-tales to clarify the requirement and reporting for a telltale to indicate light source failure (superseding upon document GRE/2015/31).

Proposal from the Informal Working Group “Simplification of the Lighting and Light-Signalling Regulations” (SLR) to clarify the content and amendment process of the light source Regulations.

Presentation of conflict between UN R48 and requirements inside oil and chemical refineries where lamps are required to be switched off.

Although required for motorcycles, Japan does not allow daytime running lamps on light cars and trucks. This presentation summarizes recent research into the impact of DRL on motorcycle and light vehicle conspicuity.
