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).

Proposal from the informal working group on the Simplification of Lighting Regulations (SLR) for a new UN Regulation on Road Illumination Devices (RID) to supersede UN Regulations Nos. 19, 98, 112 (thus 1, 8, and 20), 113 (thus 56, 57, 72, 76, and 82), 119, and 123.

Proposal from the informal working group on the Simplification of Lighting Regulations for a new UN Regulation on retro-reflecting devices (RRD) to supersede UN Regulations Nos. 3, 27, 69, 70, and 104.

Proposal from the Task Force on Electromagnetic Compatibility (TF-EMC) to align UN R10 with the vehicle narrow-band limit and the latest set-ups (artificial networks, harness location, Z-folding, …) for vehicles in charging mode under the International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR) 12 Standard. The proposal also introduces additional details for vehicle in charging mode operating conditions (alternative or direct current charging).

Proposal from the Simplification of Lighting Regulations informal group to introduce references to the three new simplified Regulations (Light-Signalling Devices (LSD), Road Illumination Devices (RID) and Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD)) into the 06 series of Regulation No. 48.

Proposal from the Simplification of Lighting Regulations informal group to introduce references to the three new simplified Regulations (Light-Signalling Devices (LSD), Road Illumination Devices (RID) and Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD)) into the 01 series of Regulation No. 86.

Proposal from the Simplification of Lighting Regulations informal group to introduce references to the three new simplified Regulations (Light-Signalling Devices (LSD), Road Illumination Devices (RID) and Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD)) into the original series of Regulation No. 86.

Proposal from the Simplification of Lighting Regulations informal group to introduce transitional provisions for the phasing out of the existing Regulations on lighting and light-signalling in conjunction with the introduction of three new simplified Regulations on Light-Signalling Devices (LSD), Road Illumination Devices (RID) and Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD).

Proposal from the informal working group on the Simplification of Lighting Regulations to delete definitions in UN R86 that are identical, and therefore redundant, to definitions in UN R48. Thus, UN R48 becomes the sole repository for common definitions across lighting installation and device regulations.

Proposal from the Simplification of Lighting Regulations informal group to consolidate common definitions of terms concerning lighting, light signalling, retro-reflective devices and device installation into Regulation No. 48. (Definitions specific to particular devices would be maintained in the respective device regulations.)

Proposal from the Simplification of Lighting Regulations informal group to introduce references to the three new simplified Regulations (Light-Signalling Devices (LSD), Road Illumination Devices (RID) and Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD)) into the 01 series of Regulation No. 74.

Proposal from the Simplification of Lighting Regulations informal group to introduce references to the three new simplified Regulations (Light-Signalling Devices (LSD), Road Illumination Devices (RID) and Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD)) into the 02 series of Regulation No. 53.

Proposal from the informal working group on the Simplification of Lighting Regulations to introduce the definition and general requirements for use of the “change index” established via the three new simplified Regulations on Light-Signalling Devices (LSD), Road Illumination Devices (RID) and Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD).

Proposal from the Simplification of Lighting Regulations informal group to introduce references to the three new simplified Regulations (Light-Signalling Devices (LSD), Road Illumination Devices (RID) and Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD)) into the 01 series of Regulation No. 53.

Proposal from the Simplification of Lighting Regulations informal group to introduce references to the three new simplified Regulations (Light-Signalling Devices (LSD), Road Illumination Devices (RID) and Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD)) into the 03 series of Regulation No. 48.

SAE proposals regarding the proposal (document GRE-78-21/Rev.1) from the Task Force on Headlamp Switching to clarify requirements for electrical connections for headlamps, daytime running lamps, and related lighting devices.

Proposal from the informal working group on the Simplification of Lighting Regulations to introduce the definition and general requirements for use of the “change index” established via the three new simplified Regulations on Light-Signalling Devices (LSD), Road Illumination Devices (RID) and Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD).

Proposal to require automatic switching from DRL to normal headlamp lighting as conditions warrant, amending the current UN R53 as well as the proposed new UN Regulation on light-signalling devices.

Proposal to align the approval code for light sources approved according to Regulations Nos. 37, 99 and 128, with the approval number as prescribed by Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement, schedule 4.

Proposal from the Task Force on Headlamp Switching to clarify requirements for electrical connections for headlamps, daytime running lamps, and related lighting devices.

Proposal to require the installation of direction indicator lamps on mopeds.

Under UN R112, a Class B lighting device that fulfills the requirements for Class A headlamps may be approved. However, UN R74 prohibits the use of Class B devices in this manner. Therefore, this proposal would remove the discrepancy and enable the installation of Class B devices approved under UN R112 as headlamps.

Proposal to clarify the text with regard to the activation of the direction indicators when the motorcycle engine in order to signal the vehicle status. The proposal would specify the purposes for which indicators may be activated:

1. To show the vehicle status (e.g. locking system) when the vehicle is parked;
2. To allow the driver to recognize the presence of his/her own vehicle from a certain distance by remote control;
3. In case of keyless entry system and of the driver having lost the key fob while riding – to inform the driver that he/she no longer has the key fob and that the vehicle will soon become unable to restart.

Proposal to allow installation of exterior courtesy lamps on motorcycles by aligning the text with provisions on courtesy lamps in UN R48.

Proposal to align UN R50 and UN R53 regarding the inward geometric visibility requirements for rear position lamps.

Proposal to update the definition of “stop lamp” in order to allow the use of different stop lamp activation methods for powered two-wheelers as currently applicable for four-wheelers; e.g. by the application of a retarder or a similar device.

Proposal to align the angle of visibility requirements for rear position lamps with the angle of visibility requirements for front position lamps. This proposal corresponds with a related proposal on Regulation No. 53 (GRE/2018/28).

Proposal to enable approval of side-marker and position lamps with regard to switching requirements when mutually incorporated. Vehicles include designs where lamps wrap around vehicle corners. In cases where optional side-marker lamps are grouped with a position lamp that is reciprocally incorporated with the direction indicator, it should be possible to switch off the side-marker lamp (as can be done with the position lamp) in order to improve conspicuity of the direction indicator.

Proposal to re-insert paragraph 5.11.1.3. with regard to switching between headlamps and DRLs. Although GRE agreed to delete this and related paragraphs during its 77th session (see para. 19 and Annex II of the 77th session report), the Task Force on Headlamp Switching decided upon further review to retain the possibility to switch ON DRLs in conjunction with at least the rear position lamps without the need for the position lamps tell-tale in that case.

Proposal to remove the prohibition against lamps “reciprocally incorporated” with any other lamp. This proposal would align UN R53 with UN R48 and correct an oversight from a previous amendment process.
