Proposal to introduce the following into Regulation No. 48:
a) General definition of ‘tell-tale’, as also currently defined in Regulation No. 121;
b) Requirement that the specifications of the tell-tale (location, identification, symbol, illumination and colour) shall meet the relevant requirements of Regulation No. 121;
c) Provision that tell-tales shall always provide an optical signal, thus aligning with Regulation No. 121; however, it is suggested to allow additional signals (auditory or any equivalent signal);
d) New definition of a ‘failure tell-tale’ and stating the mandatory presence of such tell-tale for the daytime running lamp in certain cases;
e) Editorial changes clarifying the situation for a few other cases in Regulation No. 48, where apparently also a ‘failure tell-tale’ was meant.

Editorial correction to the presentation of the collective amendments to selected lighting regulations proposed in document GRE/2013/55.

Summary of test results to assess human responses to variable intensity direction indicators under various driving conditions.

Proposal to clarify and reinsert provisions concerning the approval of electronic/electrical subassemblies related to lighting devices within the proposal to extend the scope of UN R10 to all power train systems above a certain working voltage level when they are in charging mode and and including type approval of separate electrical components for the “REESS charging mode coupled to power grid” configuration.

[Note: Document GRE/2013/41 has been superseded by document GRE-70-14.]

Proposal to amend document WP.29/2013/73 which has been submitted for the November 2013 WP.29 session in order to extend the scope of UN R10 to include all kinds of power train systems above a certain working voltage level, when they are in charging mode and including type approval of separate electrical components for the “REESS charging mode coupled to power grid” configuration.

This document supersedes the previous amendment proposal (document GRE/2013/41).

Consolidated version (97 pages) of the amendments to UN R10 presented in documents WP.29/2013/73 (formal proposal of amendments pending before the November 2013 Forum session) and GRE-70-14 (revised proposal of further amendments superseding GRE/2013/41).

This document is intended to supersede the formal proposal WP.29/2013/73.

Clarification of the proposal to introduce requirements to avoid intentional non-approved (voltage) variation of the principal passing beam, using halogen light sources and to harmonize them with the operating voltage requirements in UN Regulation No. 48

In document GRE/2011/35, China proposed to update the ‘resistance to atmospheric agents’ test under UN R112 by applying the spectral energy distribution of sunlight as defined in CIE Publication No. 85:1989, Table 4. Following up on its initial response (document GRE-68-41), SAE explains its opposition to the proposal.

Proposal to restructure the definitions and requirements associated with the installation of “single lamps”, “lamps marked D” and “interdependent lamps” as proposed by GTB. OICA agrees with the principle, but proposes changes to the placement of the definitions within the rule.

Series of proposals to revise the positioning specifications for direction indicators, marker lamps, and reflectors on trailers (O category) and to make clarifications.

Proposal to revise the Italian proposal in order to clarify that the requirements pertain only to characteristics verifiable directly on each lamp in order to avoid confusion with characteristics that can only be verified on the vehicle after installation.

The European Commission, pursuant to concerns raised in its Technical Committee Motor Vehicles, raises issues with two paragraphs that are reproduced in a number of GRE proposals set for consideration at the November WP.29. The EU, therefore, cannot vote to adopt the proposals until these concerns have been addressed (i.e., for the March 2014 session).

Status of WP.1 reconciliation of the Vienna Convention with WP.29 technical regulations, especially with regard to automated systems.

Proposal to extend the proposed amendment to introduce “interdependent lamps” to the 04 and 05 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48.

Editorial corrections to the GTB and CLEPA proposal to update UN R27 in line with technological progress and performance-based methodologies.

Diagrams further illustrating the corrections proposed in document GRE-70-25.

Proposal to retroactively extend the clarifications to the definitions and requirements associated with the installation of “single lamps”, “lamps marked D” and “interdependent lamps” to the 04 and 05 series amendments to Regulation No. 48.

Proposal to extend to the the 04 and 05 series amendments to Regulation No. 48 the proposed reduction in the minimum speed for activation of E-class passing beams from 70 km/h to 60 km/h and to prescribe clear alternatives to either detect motorway conditions with sensors or only activate the E mode above a speed of 110km/h.

Revised proposal to introduce the following into Regulation No. 48: a) General definition of ‘tell-tale’, as also currently defined in Regulation No. 121; b) Requirement that the specifications of the tell-tale (location, identification, symbol, illumination and colour) shall meet the relevant requirements of Regulation No. 121; c) Provision that tell-tales shall always provide an optical signal, thus aligning with Regulation No. 121; however, it is suggested to allow additional signals (auditory or any equivalent signal); d) New definition of a ‘failure tell-tale’ and stating the mandatory presence of such tell-tale for the daytime running lamp in certain cases; e) Editorial changes clarifying the situation for a few other cases in Regulation No. 48, where apparently also a ‘failure tell-tale’ was meant.
