Presentation on China’s development and simplification of lighting standards.

SLR program plans, especially harmonization with China GB lighting regulations

IMMA proposal to delete definitions in UN R74.01 that are already in UN R48. Under the Simplification of Lighting Regulations (SLR) program, certain common lighting device definitions would be consolidated under UN R48 (lighting installation).

IMMA proposal to delete definitions in UN R53.02 that are already in UN R48. Under the Simplification of Lighting Regulations (SLR) program, certain common lighting device definitions would be consolidated under UN R48 (lighting installation).

Explanation and examples of how the proposed lighting device change index and approval mark would work in cases of series of amendments and supplements.

Proposal to improve the document GRE/2018/11 (GRE-79-31) and to introduce in R48-06 new minimum installation requirements for type approved lighting and light-signalling devices and to improve the transitional provisions for Regulations Nos. 3, 4, 6, 7, 19, 23, 27, 38, 50, 69, 70, 77, 87, 91, 98, 104, 112, 113, 119 and 123. Proposal for new minimum installation requirements for type approved lighting and light-signalling devices in R48-06. Proposal to clarify which devices may be installed on the vehicles in line with the applicable requirements as amended by the new UN Regulations on light-signalling devices, road illumination devices, and retro-reflecting devices.

Poland comments on the CLEPA analysis raising concerns regarding the proposal to establish photometric requirements for Class B1 based on average real performance of present Class B (halogen/LED) without reference to design specifications such as the luminous flux of light source.

Comments on document GRE-79-12/Rev.1 (Explanation of the “Change Index”) presented to the Working Party on Lighting on behalf of the SLR informal group.

In order to resolve the inconsistent use of the wording “motorcycle” or “category L vehicle” or others, IMMA recommends replacing the “motorcycle” by “category L vehicle” at each occurrence.

Initial draft text for the stage II simplification of the draft UN Regulation.

Following a request from the European Commission, the Scientific Committee on Health, Environmental and Emerging Risks (SCHEER) reviewed recent evidence to assess potential risks to human health posed by Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) emissions. The review of the published research conducted by the SCHEER has led to valuable conclusions and identified certain gaps in knowledge on potential risks to human health. The Committee concluded that there is no evidence of direct adverse health effects from
LEDs emission in normal use (lamps and displays) by the general healthy population.
