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 further harmonize test procedures for two-wheeled vehicles equipped with conventional combustion engine technology, including restructuring to dedicate separate sections to test types I (tailpipe emission after cold start), II (idle / free acceleration emissions) and VII (energy efficiency). The amendment aligns the GTR with technological progress, including changes related to

1. reference fuels
2. temperature conversion
3. forced induction systems (turbo/super-chargers)
4. treatment of open/closed systems
5. test room humidity
6. CO₂ tolerance, and
7. reference mass of the vehicle.

Proposal to add the specifications of flexible Pedestrian Legform Impactor (FlexPLI) to the Resolution on test devices.

Proposal to raise requirements for the attachments and fittings of the seat (as a prelude to the eventual deletion of static test methods in favor of dynamic testing).

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.

• 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 a definition for “Twinned wheels” (two wheels functioning as one on the same axle) and accordingly update definitions for Category L₁ and L₃ vehicles.

Proposal to amend the annex on market fuel quality to provide recommendations for parallel introduction of fuel (gasoline and diesel) quality standards and the corresponding emissions standards given their interdependence and complementarity.
