Proposal as approved by the GRSG to align Annex 11 of UN R107 with Regulation (EU) 1230/2012. Annex 11 was originally based on EU Directive 97/27 EC (type approval of vehicles with regard to their masses and dimensions) which has now been replaced by Regulation (EU) 1230/2012, thus prompting the need for realignment.

Proposal as approved by the GRSG Doc to introduce a new class of CNG components (Class 6) operating at a higher pressure.

Proposal as approved by the GRE to correct an error introduced by Supplement 21 to the 02 series of Regulation No. 7 (document WP29/2012/65). Supplement 21 introduced provisions for the use of light-emitting diode (LED) light sources and corrected the provisions concerning approval markings.

Proposal as approved by the GRE to delete unnecessary markings for LED front fog lamps that have non-replaceable LED modules and to correct and clarify the requirements for colour measurement and ultraviolet (UV) testing of light emitting diode (LED) modules.

Proposal to amend the test procedure for reversing lamps and maneuvering lamps equipped with light sources other than filament lamps. Currently, the lamps are required to meet photometric parameters after one minute and 30 minutes of operation. Under normal use, these lamps are operated for no more than six minutes at a time. This proposal would set the second measurement point at 10 minutes rather than 30 minutes. This change would also align the procedure with SAE standard J1889.1.

Proposal to align UN R48 with UN R107 with regard to the automatic activation of hazard warning lights and with UN R19 with regard to the prohibition of the simultaneous use of front fog lamps and other lamps with which the fog lamps are reciprocally incorporated.

Proposal as approved by the GRE to introduce the possibility of interdependent lamps for dedicated motorcycle lamps. The proposal reflects recent amendments to Regulations Nos. 6 and 7 and meets the visibility angle requirements of Regulations Nos. 50 and 53. The concern is that the rear trunk lid commonly used for four-wheeled vehicles may be adapted for future scooter type motorcycles to secure the storage space for helmet, etc. Current lamp requirements impose design constraints that may hamper the proper development of such storage features.

Proposal as approved by the GRE to allow for the installation of interdependent lamps for L3 category vehicles. The amendment also reflects recent amendments to Regulation No. 48, Supplement 2 to its 06 series of amendments and further includes some editorial corrections of current Regulation No. 53 texts. The concern is that the rear trunk lid commonly used for four-wheeled vehicles may be adapted for future scooter type motorcycles to secure the storage space for helmet, etc. Current lamp requirements impose design constraints that may hamper the proper development of such storage features. Please note that the title of this document has been corrected to Supplement 17. Supplement 15 was adopted under Amendment 1 to Revision 3 of UN R53.

Correction of the title to “Supplement 17” from the erroneous “Supplement 15”.

Consolidated proposal prepared by the AVLI informal working group to update and revise Regulation No. 86 as approved by the GRE.

Proposal as approved by the GRE to replace the current variety of test mixtures used to simulate dirt during the testing of lamps with a single uniform mixture. In addition, the proposal would replace the term “beech wood” with the phrase “produced from beech wood” to improve clarity.

In addition, the proposal would replace the term “beech wood” with the phrase “produced from beech wood” to improve clarity.

Proposal as approved by the GRE to replace the current variety of test mixtures used to simulate dirt during the testing of lamps with a single uniform mixture. In addition, the proposal would replace the term “beech wood” with the phrase “produced from beech wood” to improve clarity. The proposal would also simplify the measurement of the objective luminous flux of light emitting diode (LED) module(s) and correct the ultraviolet (UV) table in the regulation.

According to Regulation No. 119, cornering lamps that are equipped with light sources other than filament lamps, are required to meet the relevant photometric requirements after one minute and after 30 minutes of operation. However, under normal traffic conditions, these lamps are operated for no more than 6 minutes. This proposal as approved by the GRE would would require the second test after 10 minutes instead of the current 30 minutes, in accordance with standard SAE J1889.

Final report on the development of Amendment 2 to the GTR on motorcycle braking submitted for consideration and approval by the World Forum.

Proposed text, updated to reflect discussions at the June 2014 WP.29 session, to revise and update the 1958 Agreement pursuant to the project to establish an international whole vehicle type approval system.

Certain UN Regulations contain provisions to allow for local divergence from the uniform requirements they present. The draft Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement refers categorically to these “special provisions”. Since such provisions work against the principles of harmonization and mutual recognition of approvals, OICA proposes to clarify that the 1958 Agreement recognizes such provisions as existed prior to Revision 3 without institutionalizing the recourse to such deviations as a regular part of the UN regulatory process.

Request for authorization to develop an amendment to GTR No. 6 (and thus UN Regulation No. 43) to establish test procedures and performance requirements for panoramic sunroof glazing.
