Proposal to allow the manual switching off all lighting devices in all circumstances for vehicles intended for use by the armed services and forces responsible for maintaining public order.

Proposal by a GRE Special Interest Group to define switching conditions for dipped beam and daytime running lamps (DRL) and the variable intensity of rear lamps in conjunction with traffic conditions.

Proposal to introduce requirements for testing the sun load impact, which can delay the perception of a signal in such a way that it may became a serious safety issue, if the sun load impact goes above a defined ratio.

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

Proposal from a GRE Special Interest Group on the 07 series of amendments to UN R48 to clarify the definitions of “switching” and “activation” and to introduce the mandatory use of Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) to align UN R48 with the General Safety Regulation of the European Union.

The proposal opens the opportunity to project driver assistance symbols on the road ahead the vehicle as part of the Adaptive Driving Beam by introducing angular limits for the placement of these projections as well as luminous intensity limits in order to guarantee a good perceptibility of the symbols for the driver at night time without distracting other road users.

Proposal to align UN R48 with provisions in UN R4 by introducing parameters for luminance levels, maximum gradient value, angles of visibility and light incidence angle which are necessary to determine the geometric position of devices in relation to the rear registration plate.

Proposal of corrections to the original document from the group of interested experts.

Comparison of adaptive driving beam provisions between the current UN Regulation No. 48 and the proposal for amendments to UN Regulation No. 53 (GRE-82-13).

Proposal to improve the proposal submitted by the experts from France and Germany to allow under specified conditions the use of manufacturer logos inside the illuminant surface of a signalling lamp.

Proposal to clarify the conditions under which the vehicles may circulate with the dipped beam headlamps switched OFF.

Proposal to clarify the transitional provisions for the mandatory use of Emergency Stop Signal (ESS).

Proposal concerning the conditions under which the vehicles may circulate with the dipped beam headlamps switched OFF from the SLR informal group to based on document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2019/03 taking into account the agreed modifications to the diagram introduced with GRE-81-21 (see ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/81, Annex II).

Proposal to amend the transitional provisions.

Proposal for changes to the draft provisions to define switching conditions for dipped beam and daytime running lamps (DRL) and the variable intensity of rear lamps in conjunction with traffic conditions.

Japan basically agrees with the proposal made by Germany but considers that certain points need clarification.

This proposal base on document GRE/2019/20 and is an alternative to document GRE/2019/14.
Currently, UN Regulation No. 48 does not allow the manual switching off all lighting devices under all circumstances. This feature is necessary for armed services and forces responsible for maintaining public order and is requested by them. It is limited only to vehicles intended for use by the armed services and forces responsible for maintaining public order. This proposal aims to reduce disadvantages and can increase safety.

The IWG-VGL group proposed that the CoP requirements would be the same as for the type-approval. Therefore, Poland will not support the proposal to extend them by another 0.4%.
