Proposal to:

1. take into account vehicles of categories R or T with a width greater than 2,55 m and category S vehicles with a width greater than 3 m;
2. use reflective materials as an alternative to retro-reflectors and side-marker
   lamps;
3. use amber special warning devices to inform of slow vehicles on the road;
4. introduce the use of manufacturer logos.

Headlamps may produce Driver Assistance Projections under UN R48 if the pertinent requirements of UN R149 are fulfilled. In order to have a clear statement whether the approval of the headlamp include this ability or not it is proposed to integrate this information in the communication form in Annex 1 of UN R149.

This paper has been submitted by the expert from Australia to clarify with the GRE if/where lamps other than those defined/specified in UN Regulation No. 48, including external optical signals to indicate the operating status of a trailer system, can be fitted to vehicles in conformity with this Regulation.

Proposal to add the park condition of a vehicle in the scope of UN R48 and to minimise hazards, such as glare and distraction, to other road users. This document supersedes the proposal in document GRE/2023/2.

Proposal to align UN R48 from the 03 to the 08 series of amendments with 01 series of amendments to UN Regulations Nos.148 and 149.

Proposal to align the draft 09 series of amendments of UN R48 with 01 series of amendments to UN R148 and R149.

Revised proposal to increase the number of manoeuvring lamps on trailers according to the length of the trailer.

Proposal to extend to AFS passing-beam headlamps the possibility to project driver assistance symbols and patterns if the pertinent requirements of UN R149 are fulfilled.

Revision of text in document GRE/2023/3 from the SLR informal group to enable the phasing out of the installation of older lamps and devices following the measures undertaken pursuant to the simplification of lighting regulations under GRE.

Proposal to introduce new requirements for headlamp levelling, in particular on the vertical inclination in relation to the dipped-beam headlamp mounting height, to permit manual levelling only for off-road vehicles, to clarify usage of daytime running lamps (DRL) with other lamps, to improve the definition of photometric stability and provisions for visibility of red light, to introduce provisions for lighting under parked condition and for manoeuvring lamps on trailers, to enable the phasing out of the installation of older lamps and devices following the measures undertaken pursuant to the simplification of lighting regulations under GRE, to introduce technology-neutral failure provisions, and to correct and otherwise clarify the text.

Proposal from the SLR informal group to align UN R48 with the 01series of amendments to UN R149 (road illumination devices). Para. 6.2.8.2. concerns the requirement for failure tell-tale of passing-beam headlamps (presence and activation) which only covers LED modules. The amendment proposes technology-neutral language. The proposal aims to complete the requirements to enable mandatory installation of headlamps approved to UN R149.01 per the request of the European Commission.

Proposal from the task force on Substitute and Replacement lamps (TFSR) to address two alternative configurations involving differences in the “screen projection requirements” and “normalized luminous intensity distribution” based on full photometric light source equivalence and on bi-directional light source design.

Proposal to add general provisions for installation.

Proposal by the Task Force on Automated Vehicle Signalling Requirements (TF AVSR) to introduce provisions for ADS vehicles and provide lighting requirements adapted to such vehicles and operating modes. This proposal is intended to supersede GRE/2023/9/Rev.1.

Proposal to update the reference to IEC Publication 60809.
