Updated proposal, superseding document GRE/2019/11, to:

1. update requirements for headlamps and daytime running lamps related to headlamp switching. In particular, the proposed 07 series of amendments aims to clarify electrical connection requirements, conditions for manual switching OFF of headlamps, and new definitions for switching ON/OFF and for activating/deactivating lamps;
2. introduce technical parameters for speed and vehicle distance, allowing reduced intensity at speeds lower than 20 km/h, in order to encourage reduced glaring effects from rear signaling lamps;
3. introduce references to the three new simplified lighting Regulations (Light-Signalling Devices (LSD), Road Illumination Devices (RID) and Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD)).

• Paragraph 5.26 contains the two proposed alternatives from France
• Paragraph 5.26.2. contains the proposals from Czech Republic and GTB
• Paragraph 6.2.7.5.1. contains 3 alternatives for subparagraph (d)
• Paragraph 6.19.7.6. (new) contains the proposal from OICA because of the replacement of “may” by “shall”
• Paragraph 12.6 contains the OICA proposed changes of the Transitional Provisions, linked to ESS introduction.

Proposal for changes to the discussion document presenting potential new requirements for headlamp levelling, in particular regarding the vertical inclination in relation to the dipped-beam headlamp mounting height.

Supporting data justifying the headlamp aiming and cut-off points diagrammed in the proposal for a new series of amendments (GRE-81-13).

Updated headlamp aiming diagram in the proposal for a new 07 series of amendments to UN R48 as agreed during the April 2019 GRE session.

Discussion document presenting potential new requirements for headlamp levelling, in particular regarding the vertical inclination in relation to the dipped-beam headlamp mounting height.

Proposal to clarify the requirements of paragraph 5.26. for the variable luminous intensity of four different light signaling functions: rear direction indicator lamps of category 2b, rear position lamps of category R2, stop lamps of category S2,and rear fog lamps of category F2. The intent is to ensure that all the lamps maintain their proportionate relationships throughout the transitions in luminosity.

vary all together proportionally.

Proposal to correct and clarify the requirements for daytime running lamps (DRL) in conjunction with rear position lamps.

Proposal to allow under specified conditions the use of logos inside the illuminating surface of a signalling lamp.

Proposal to introduce provisions:

1. For vehicles intended for use by the armed services and forces responsible for maintaining public order: the manual switching off of all lighting devices in all circumstances;
2. In the absence of a “vehicle door assistance and warning system”: the mandatory application of the hazard warning lights to reduce the safety risks in the case a door is opened to the traffic side.
