Proposed revisions to IEC 60809 and 60810 in accordance with UN Regulations for signalling devices to address risks in the use of low-quality non-replaceable filament lamps.

Update by the IEC of the German proposal for revisions to IEC 60809 and 60810 in accordance with UN Regulations for signalling devices to address risks in the use of low-quality non-replaceable filament lamps.

GRE created a Task Force on Conspicuity Marking to reconcile proposals concerning commercial vehicles contained in documents GRE/2011/53 and GRE/2011/62. The chair of the group offers this text as a compromise for GRE review.

Proposal that would align provisions in UN R48 with those of UN R121 (vehicle controlrs, telltales and indicators) with regard to the hazard warning telltale (para. 6.6.8.).

Correction of an editorial error in Supplement 7 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation 48.

Proposal that would delete references to ‘retro-reflecting devices’ purusant to a decision of the Working Party on Lighting and clarify that testing of capabilities to detect and react to retro-reflecting devices is not required.

IEC has serious concerns with the proposal to clarify the conditions under which voltage control gear may be used in conjunction with filament light sources because halogen filament light sources should not be operated permanently outside the specifications, at a too low or at too high voltage.

Proposal to clarify the deletion of distributed lighting systems (DLS), or rather light generators, from the Regulations No. 19, 48 and 98, because the provisions for the DLS systems are incomplete. This deletion was never fully completed and in the meantime these systems have become obsolete.

Proposal from OICA to further clarify the test conditions regarding the requirements for the sensitivity of the sensor system for ADB (automatic/adaptive driving beam).

Proposal to improve the wording of the informal document GRE-67-08 submitted by France to align provisions in UN R48 with those of UN R121 with regard to the hazard warning telltale.

OICA presentation raising numerous concerns with the Polish proposal (document GRE/2012/21) to introduce performance-based requirements for headlamp aiming/leveling and glare tolerances.

Proposal from CLEPA submitted as an alternative to the German proposal (document GRE-67-04) concerning conspicuity markings for the cab of commercial vehicles.

Illustrations to accompany the CLEPA proposal concerning conspicuity markings for commercial vehicles (document GRE-67-28).

IEC response to the GTB proposal to define the conditions under which voltage control gear may be used in conjunction with filament light sources.

Regulation No. 48 will soon be made mandatory in the EU. This proposal aims mainly at launching a discussion on consistency and management of the transitional provisions of Regulation No. 48.

Proposal from Japan, based upon the request from OICA and superceding document GRE/2012/14, to clarify the “fixed position of a movable component”.

Presentation of the Polish Motor Transport Institute in support of the proposal to replace fixed values for headlamp aiming and tolerances with performance-based specifications.

Comments from OICA on the German proposal to reconcile views on conspicuity markings for commercial vehicles (document GRE-67-04).

Revised version of Poland’s proposal (GRE/2012/21) to introduce performance-based distance and glare criteria for headlamps, replacing the fixed 2000 lm luminous flux condition as a criterion of the automatic leveling requirement.

Submission by the chair of the Task Force on Conspicuity Marking presenting the compromise agreed at GRE-67 for commercial vehicle markings: cumulative horizontal marking length of 70% and allowing alternative minimum marking of the cab by retro-reflectors.

Submission by the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) to clearly define the conditions under which voltage control gear may be used in conjunction with filament light sources.

Proposal from Poland to introduce performance-based distance and glare criteria for headlamps, making automatic levelling provisions independent of the luminous flux of the light source.
