List of lighting functions covered by UN Regulations and the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and comments on degree of similarity.

Terms of reference adopted during the October 2018 GRE session.

Proposed transitional provisions to end further development of current UN lighting regulations in favor of the new UN Regulations on light-signalling devices (LSD), road illumination devices (RID), and retro-reflecting devices (RRD) developed under the Simplification of Lighting Regulations (SLR) program.

Proposal for updated goals and objectives in line with phase 2 of the Simplification of Lighting Regulations for consideration at the 80th GRE session.

Paper by Karl Manz, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), to identify the basic rules of a performance-based description of lighting and light-signalling regarding the needs of visual performance.

Proposal for a new UN Regulation on light-signalling devices, consolidating and superseding provisions of UN Regulations Nos. 4, 6, 7, 23, 38, 50, 77, 87 and 91.

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.

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.

Draft Guidelines for application of the DETA Unique Identifier (UI).

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.

Because the new lighting device regulations (LSD, RRD, and RID) each cover multiple lighting functions (e.g. direction indicators, marker lamps, DRL in the LSD regulation), the potential exists for a change in stringency to impact some, but not all functions within the scope of each regulation. The change index is proposed in order to track the impact on each function and so restrict the need for new type approvals only to those functions impacted by a change in stringency.

Proposal for changes to document GRE/2018/13 consolidating common definitions of terms concerning lighting, light signalling, retro-reflective devices and device installation into Regulation No. 48.

Proposal from the SLR informal group to improve and correct the text of the three new simplified UN Regulations on LSD, RID and RRD.

Proposal from the SLR informal group to improve and correct the official documents to introduce references to the three new simplified UN Regulations on LSD, RID and RRD.

Proposal from the SLR informal group to improve the general requirements proposed in documents GRE/2018/16 and GRE/2018/18.

Proposal from the SLR informal group to introduce transitional provisions in documents GRE/2018/2, GRE/2018/3, and GRE/2018/4.

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

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).

SLR program plans, especially harmonization with China GB lighting regulations

Proposal from the Simplification of Lighting Regulations informal group to combine provisions of UN Regulations Nos. 4, 6, 7, 23, 38, 50, 77, 87 and 91 into a single regulation. This consolidation aims to streamline the administration and implementation of these lighting regulations while setting the foundation for a future shift towards performance-based approval requirements. This proposal restructures the existing body of lighting regulations without changing their content (e.g., technical requirements).
