Proposal prepared by the SLR informal group in cooperation with IMMA to delete definitions in UN R53.02 made redundant because identical definitions already exist in UN R48. The aim of this submission is to confirm UN R48 as the repository for common definitions used across all lighting regulations.

Proposal prepared by the SLR informal group in cooperation with IMMA in order to delete definitions in UN R74.01 made redundant because they already exist in UN R48. The aim of this proposal is to confirm UN R48 as the sole repository for common definitions used across all lighting regulations.

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

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

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 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 and correct the text of the three new simplified UN Regulations on LSD, RID and RRD.

Proposal for amendments to the draft text.

Proposal for changes to the draft Road Illumination Devices (RID) regulation.

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 for changes to document GRE/2018/19 proposing to require automatic switching from DRL to normal headlamp lighting as conditions warrant under UN R53 and the proposed new UN Regulation on light-signalling devices.

India comments on the proposal to align UN R10 with the vehicle narrow-band limit and the latest set-ups for vehicles in charging mode under the International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR) 12 Standard.

Proposal for a marking requirement for lamps to be approved under the LSD regulation. This proposal is to take care of specific concerns being observed in the marking of the combined lamps for identification, indication of particular series of amendment for each device and to take care of certain difficulties as seen in the proposal submitted by IWG-SLR document no GRE-78-35-Rev.1.

a) Proposal to amend UN R48 to clarify the DRL switching-off conditions (also aligning them with the existing switching-off conditions for front position lamps reciprocally incorporated with DI) and/or light intensity reduction when DRL and DI are totally or partially reciprocally incorporated and when their distance is equal or less than 40 mm.
b) Proposal to introduce into UN R87 the possibility of a supplemental verification and certification of the “reduced luminous intensity”, fulfilling the pertinent requirements in Regulation No. 48.

Proposal from the Headlamp Switching task force co-chairs to clarify the wording used in requirements related to functional electrical connections of lamps in document GRE/2018/22.

Proposal to add explicit references to indirect vision systems, blind spot systems, and accident emergency
call systems.

Discussion document from the Netherlands and Italy to serve presenting potential new requirements for headlamp levelling, in particular regarding the vertical inclination in relation to the dipped-beam headlamp mounting height. The proposal is based on the original proposal of the Informal Working Group on Visibility, Glare and Levelling (VGL) (informal documents GRE-78-23-Rev.1, GRE-78-32, GRE-78-36) and discussions during the GRE 78th session.

Comments on the proposal from Germany and Italy for the 07 series of amendments to UN R48 and for Supplement 20 to UN R87.

Proposal to a) improve the transitional provisions presented in GRE/2018/11 with regard to the collective
amendments to Regulations Nos. 3, 4, 6, 7, 19, 23, 27, 38, 50, 69, 70, 77, 87, 91, 98, 104, 112, 113, 119 and 123 and b) introduce new requirements into the 06 series of amendments to UN R48 with regard to the validity and installation of type approved lighting and light-signalling devices.

Recent amendments to the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108 allows UN Regulation
headlamps to be used on vehicles in Canada. CMVSS 108 specifically refers to the existing UN Regulations. In order to continue the acceptance of headlamps compliant with UN Regulations in Canada after the switch to the new Road Illumination Devices (RID) regulation, the current regulations should make clear references to RID before they are frozen and superseded.

Consideration of how lighting systems may evolve with vehicle automation, particularly in enabling signalling vehicle status and intentions to pedestrians (AVIP: Autonomous Vehicle Interaction with Pedestrians).

Guide for specifying LED substitute light source categories as equivalents for corresponding filament light source categories prepared by the Task Force on Substitutes/Retrofits.

GRE and its Task Force on Substitutes and Retrofits proposed and GRE at its 79th session agreed to include an “interlock feature” for LED substitute light sources to prevent the misuse of these light sources. The first LED substitute category proposal is the “PY21W/LED”. A further solution has been developed by IEC cap-holder experts in IEC TC34/SC34B/WG2 by adding a “third pin” at an angle of 110° (from the reference pin) for the BA15 cap system, including the BAU15s cap prescribed for the PY21W filament light source category. This document contains the relevant cap and holder sheets for implementation in the IEC 60061 structure.

Correction to document GRE/2018/35 to effect the deletion of the definitions for “bend lighting”, “H plane”, “sequential activation” and “emergency stop signal” in UN R53 (because identical in UN R48). The deletions were inadvertently omitted in the original proposal.

Proposal to amend the Headlamp Switching Task Force text aimed at updating requirements for headlamps and daytime running lamps.

Proposal to introduce requirements for the mandatory installation of emergency stop signals (ESS) on all categories of motor vehicles and trailers.

Editorial corrections to the original document from the task force on headlamp switching.
