Proposal from the IWVTA informal group concerning the acceptance of Limited IWVTA approvals.

Proposal to update UN R0 in line with the restructuring of the UN lighting regulations, to introduce use of the UN on-line system for sharing information on acceptance of type approvals, and to amend the annex concerning “Specifications of the IWVTA DoC”, including replacing a reference to the type approval number with the VIN.

Proposal to require installation of direction indicators on mopeds.

Proposal to introduce requirements for automatic switching from DRL to headlamp(s) if the maximum luminous intensity of DRL is above 700 cd and to restore the original automatic headlamp ON (AHO) requirement for vehicles not equipped with daytime running lamps (DRL) modified by the 03 series.

Proposal to

• clarify paragraph 2.1 with regard to definitions: “All the definitions given in the latest series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48 in force at the time of application for type approval shall apply, unless otherwise specified in this UN Regulation or in the pertinent installation UN Regulations Nos. 53, 74 and 86.”
• amend the inboard visibility angle for rear position lamps in pairs in the new UN Regulation on Light-Signalling Devices (LSD)
• Use of LED substitute light source(s) is allowed and does not constitute a change of the lamp type. However, lamp performances shall be tested during type approval also with the LED substitute light source. Approval of the lamp using filament light source(s) is a prerequisite for approval of the lamp using LED substitute light source(s).
• Testing with LED substitute light sources is exempted from conformity of production control.
• The technical description shall include notice that the lamp also has to be approved with the LED substitute light source(s) according to UN R128 if the applicant has so determined.
• The approval marking or the Unique Identifier as well as the category or categories of LED substitute light source(s) prescribed, if any, shall be visible.
• The indication of both the holder of the filament light source and of its LED counterpart light source, if any, shall be explicitly provided.
• Introduce requirements for automatic switching from DRL to headlamp(s) if the maximum luminous intensity of DRL is above 700 cd.

Proposal to improve the text, adds 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 correct and clarify the requirements for daytime running lamps (DRL) in conjunction with rear position lamps and to introduce requirements for light emitting diode (LED) substitute light sources.

Proposal to

• align UN R50 and UN R53 regarding the inward geometric visibility requirements for rear position lamps;
• 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.
• restore the definition of “device” (because the definition under UN R53 differs from that under UN R48)
• delete the definitions of “bend lighting”, “H plane”, “sequential activation” and “emergency stop signal” (because they are identical to the definitions in UN R48), and
• introduce requirements for light emitting diode (LED) substitute light sources.

Proposal to introduce objective criteria for evaluating whether a door remains latched following the pole impact test.

Proposal to introduce objective criteria for evaluating whether a door remains latched following the pole impact test. Under UN R135, rear doors on the impacted side of the vehicle not directly struck by the pole may nonetheless be subjected to heavy loads and therefore need to be assessed. This proposal corresponds to a similar clarification already introduced into UN R95 on side impacts. The proposal is also available with track changes.

Proposal to allow an alternative test method (recognized in SAE J1349) to “set the charge air cooler outlet temperature during bench test to temperature which was observed by vehicle test and corrected to the reference temperature specified in paragraph 5.2.1.” of Annex 5.

Proposal to list conditions, especially with regard to retrofit systems, under which indirect and direct injection vehicles may be considered as belonging to the same vehicle family. Gasoline direct injection vehicles which operate in indirect gas injection mode should be listed in the same family as indirect gasoline injection vehicles, as the applied gas injection technology is the same and provided that at least one such vehicle is tested as parent vehicle according to the requirements of this Regulation.

Proposal to introduce provisions for the approval of Remote Control Manoeuvring (RCM) systems.

Proposal to correct the cross-reference to paragraph 5.11. in paragraph 6.4.3.5. The text should refer to paragraph 5.12.
