Proposal to:

• Rectify an inconsistency between UN R149 and UN R98, R112 and R123 by aligning the measurement points for the mechanical deterioration test
• Correct the Conformity of Production tables
• Amend failure detection and signalisation requirements to reflect technological progress in multiple light sources.

Proposal to rectify an inconsistency between UN R149 and UN R98, 112 and 123 by aligning the measurement points for the mechanical deterioration test. The deletion of measuring point HV for the passing-beam headlamps does not change any technical requirement since there are no photometric values specified for point HV in the UN R149.

Chinese questions submitted at the 90th GRE session (doc. GRE-90-29)

Proposal to clarify the measurement of the quality of the “cut-off” and to clarify the approval markings under the 00 and 01 series (e.g., use of “HCR” or “HR and C”).

Proposal aims to correct COP Tables. the maximum luminous intensity of Segment BLL for Class V (see Tables 6 and 7) was intentionally changed from 880 cd (as in UN Regulation No. 123 and in the original series of amendments of UN
Regulation No. 149) to 625 cd (as in the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 149). The purpose of this modification was to align the value with Class C but, by mistake, this change was not reflected in the COP Tables 25 and 26

This proposal intends to rectify the inconsistency between UN Regulation No. 149, (both original version and 01 series of amendments) and the frozen UN Regulations (namely UN Regulations Nos. 98, 112 and 123) by aligning the measurement points for the mechanical deterioration test. The deletion of measuring point HV, for the passing-beam headlamps, does not change any technical requirement since there are no photometric values specified for point HV in the UN Regulation No. 149, both in the original version and in the 01 series of amendments.

Proposal aims to amend failure detection and signalisation requirements to reflect technological progress in multiple light sources. This amendment proposes to include in UN Regulation No. 149 different provisions allowing that a failure signal is only triggered when a significant change in the beam is detected and ensuring that the most suitable failure provision can be applied. Proposal for a Supplement to the 06, 07, 08 and 09 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48

Proposal to clarify the markings. Some countries and regions refer to the requirements of the 00 series of amendments to UN R149, or to older regulations. In order to avoid the redundant burden to mark the symbols of both the 00 and 01 series on the lamp (e.g., “HCR” or “HR and C”), the proposal would allow for consistency of the symbols between the 00 and the 01 series of amendments. UN R149 also includes passing-beam requirements designed to provide symmetrical “cut-off” line: the proposal introduces examples in Annex 13.
