OICA proposes amendments to LUPC-09-04: amend para. 2.5.22. to expand the definition of energy status indicator to include information on the operational status of energy transfer and illumination to assist in locating electrical connection; delete existing para. 3.2.10. and its subparagraphs; add new paras. 3.2.10. and 3.2.11. requiring statements on energy status indicator lamps and lamp test mode; and amend para. 6.29.9. to clarify that multiple energy status indicators may be installed, change the flashing frequency limit from 2.0 Hz to 5.0 Hz, and enlarge the maximum apparent surface area to accommodate various plug sizes and surrounding illumination designs.

The Task Force on Lamps Under Parked Conditions examined proposed modifications to UN R48 regarding vehicle lamp test modes, focusing on energy status indicators for charging vehicles. Key discussions included: color specifications for indicators, multiple energy status indicator placement on vehicles, frequency requirements for flashing indicators, and apparent surface area values. The group debated whether to include Adaptive Front-lighting System modes in lamp test procedures. Multiple paragraphs were revised, deleted, or approved for further consideration at the next session scheduled for March 2026.
