Proposal from the Simplification of Lighting Regulations informal group to delete the luminous intensities minimum requirements for the measuring point 50L (which are not in UN R112 and therefore should not be in UN R149) from Table 8 and to correct a typo in the angular position for S100RR in Table 13. Given the importance of these corrections, this proposal is simultaneously being submitted as a formal document for consideration during the WP.29 session in November 2019.

Guide prepared by the GRE Substitutes/Retrofits Task Force to criteria for specifying LED substitute light source categories as equivalents for corresponding fliament light source categories.

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 restore the correct value for the vertical visibility angle requirement.

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 to clarify the definition of “‘on’ time” (t_H) to address cases where a single flash consists of several flashes.

Proposal to include daytime running lamps in the provision for ‘an assembly of two independent lamps to be type approved as lamp marked “D”’.

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

Proposal to enable the approval of Category L₃ equipped with adaptive driving beam (ADB) headlamps under UN R53 and R149.

Proposal to remove restrictions on the installation of lighting devices on L₁ and L₃ category vehicles that are permitted for M, N, and T category vehicles.

Proposal to clarify the content of GRE/2019/23, aimed at ensuring that the new 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 53 contains the latest proposals adopted by GRE regarding preceding series.

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 rectify the transitional period for recently amended provisions applicable to the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices for L3 vehicles.

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).

Consolidated proposal incorporating the proposal 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 and the proposal to improve the text, add that the definitions in UN R48 apply unless the regulation or the vehicle-category-specific regulations (UN R53, 78, 86) specify different applicable definitions, to clarify that the construction provision and prohibition on use of paints or varnishes under paragraph 4.1.6 only apply to retro-reflectors, to correct the omission of Class F devices from the title of paragraph 5.4., and to add the water-resistance test (from UN R69 and R70) to Annex 7.

Proposal to restore the sequential activation of direction indicators of categories 11, 11a, 11b, 11c and 12, which were included in UN Regulation No. 50 but omitted when UN R148 was developed during SLR Stage 1. The corresponding references to UN Regulation Nos. 53 and 86 have been included.

Proposal to differentiate light source modules in cases where a signalling device contains more than one different module. The proposal adds the missing provision for multiple light source modules that is present in paragraph 3.6.2. of UN R7 and should be transposed into this regulation.

Proposal to correct an error in the figure in Annex II, A3-X based on the original figure taken from UN R4, Annex 3 (b).

The document was prepared by the GRE-IWG SLR to show the latest status of work and collect feedback from GRE for the preparation of the final proposal that will be submitted to the 83rd GRE session.

Proposal to correct the reference to paragraph 5.3.1.5.3. (found in paragraph 5.3.2.8.2. of the current text) with 5.3.1.4.3.

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.

Comments particularly with regard to the transitional provisions for the 03 series of amendments.

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.

Draft ITC Recommendations for enhancing National Road Safety Systems following the decisions taken at 81st ITC Plenary Session February 2019

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%.

IEC support for the for choosing elevated ambient air temperature of 60°C and luminous flux limit of at least 70% at the points where luminous flux is measured. GRE/2019/21 Proposal for amendment to the Consolidated Resolution on the common specification of light source categories: the aim to introduce a new light emitting diode (LED) substitute light source category H11/LED for road illumination applications

In the leaning condition, the operation of the ADB lamp and its effect do not change from the non-leaning condition which turns off the segment where a camera has detected preceding and/or oncoming vehicle(s).Therefore, there is no additional requirement for the leaning condition.
