Proposal to reintroduce the run-up provisions for high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps that were unintentionally omitted from the original text of UN R149.

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 insert a minimum luminance gradient as an alternative criteria. The current text requires a certain “asymmetry” of the Light Emitting Area (LEA) in order to ensure a “minimum worst-case gradient”; however, this requirement has been deemed too design-restrictive.

Proposal to amend light source categories L1A/6 and L1B/6 in the Consolidated Resolution on the common specification of light source categories (R.E.5).

Proposal from the GRE Task Force on Substitutes/Retrofits to introduce requirements for LED substitute light sources.

Proposal from the GRE Task Force on Substitutes/Retrofits to introduce a new light emitting diode (LED) substitute light source category H11/LED for road illumination applications.

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 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.

Proposal to require that the vehicle manufacturer’s statement regarding frequency bands, power levels, antenna positions and installation provisions for the installation of radio frequency transmitters (RF-transmitters) be added to the information document (e.g. under item 63, Annex 2A) to facilitate conformity of production and other compliance checks.

Proposal to render optional the fitment of front position lamps where the motorcycle is fitted with automatic headlamp switching or daytime running lamps meeting certain conditions and to add provisions regarding electrical connections and the activation of simultaneous lamps (e.g., to permit activation of rear lamps before the front lamps are activated).

Proposal to align the 03 series of amendments to UN R53 (as adopted during GRE-81: GRE/2018/50, as amended by GRE/2019/12) with the latest proposals for amendments to the 01 and 02 series (as adopted by GRE but not yet in force at the time of the present proposal:

1. Add references to UN R148, R149, and R150 (WP.29/2018/104/Rev.1 as amended by WP.29-177-07, and WP.29/2018/105), implementing the change index and amending the definitions (taking into consideration informal document GRE-80-05),
2. Align UN R53 with UN R148 regarding the inward geometric visibility requirements for rear position lamps (GRE/2018/28),
3. Clarify the use of direction indicators to show the status of the device for protection of a vehicle against unauthorised use and allow exterior courtesy lamps to be fitted on motorcycles (WP.29/2019/17 as amended by para. 107 of the session report and WP.29/2019/18 as amended by para. 108),
4. Align UN R53 with UN R48 and correct a mistake in a previous amendment process (WP.29/2018/86/Rev.1 andWP.29/2018/87/Rev.1),
5. Allow the use of different stop lamp activation methods, aligning the definition of “stop lamp” with UN R48 (GRE/2018/29), and
6. Introduce requirements for light emitting diode (LED) substitute light sources (GRE/2018/41).

Proposal for corrections to UN Regulation 65 (Special Warning Lamps) based upon Supplement 10 to the original Regulation. A recent review of the content of UN Regulation 65 has revealed some long-standing editorial errors that do not affect the technical requirements but do create confusion.

Proposal from the Simplification of Lighting Regulations informal group to delete a footnote indicator and delete characters from a figure on the standard light distribution of devices.

Proposal from the Simplification of Lighting Regulations informal group to correct a paragraph reference (‘3.3.2.2’ in place of ‘3.2.3.2’) and to insert a provision from UN R3 (para. 4.1.2.) unintentionally omitted from the original text.

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