Informal document submitted by the Task Force on Substitutes / Retrofits (TFSR) to support and proposal changes to formal proposal GRE/2024/2.

The Task Force on Lamps Under Parked Conditions (TF-LUPC) established by GRE to review requirements of the current suite of lamps under parked conditions and develop proposals within UN Regulation No. 48 pertaining to Energy Indicator and Lamp test mode. TF-LUPC is open to all GRE participants, managed by two Co-Chairs and a Secretary, and operates by consensus. An informal document is targeted for GRE’s ninety-second session in April 2025, with a first formal document due for GRE’s ninety-third session in October 2025 (submission deadline end of July 2025) for inclusion in the 10 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48.

Proposal from the AVSR task force to amend its earlier document.

Revised proposal to avoid exceeding the aggregate maximum intensity of the main-beam headlamps (430,000 cd) by removing the double requirement for a sum of reference marks and a sum of maximum luminous intensities which risks generating large rounding errors when the maximum luminous intensities are summed up.

Interpretation question on the provision “With the exception of retro-reflectors, a lamp even bearing an approval mark is deemed not to be present when it cannot be made to operate by the sole installation of a light source and/or a fuse.”

Proposal to enable the approval of a front and rear indicator which can be activated simultaneously. This informal document supersedes the formal proposal GRE/2024/9.

Proposal to introduce the provisions to enable the use of light-signalling in form of projection of patterns on the road for other road users through new light-signalling functions “Direction indicator projection” and “Reversing projection”.

Proposal to amend the transitional provisions.

Updated proposal to adapt UN R48 for application to ADS vehicles.

Proposal to introduce provisions for “work lamps”.

Proposal for modification of Markings and Conformity of production

Presentation related to GRE-90-23 and GRE-90-35

This document replaces the official document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2024/6

Proposal to address vehicles of categories R or T with a width more than 2.55 m and of category S with a width more than 3 m as well as to allow using reflective materials as an alternative to retro-reflectors.

Proposal from the EMC informal group to update electromagnetic radiation immunity provisions, address automatic emergency call systems (AECS) and automated driving systems (ADS), update references to standards, and effect editorial improvements.

Proposal from the Autonomous Vehicles Signalling Reguirements (AVSR) task force to update the text of UN R48 to enable application to vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System (ADS).

Proposal to introduce an alternative configuration for the light emitting diode replacement (LEDr) light source category H11.

Proposal to align the requirements in UN R48 with updated requirements in UN R149 (UN R48 currently only refers to a light source or light-emitting diode (LED) module(s) for dipped beam (paragraph 6.2.9.) and to light sources of the lighting units for an adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) (paragraph 6.22.9.) while the latest updates to the 01 series of UN R149 requires the communication form to indicate whether the total objective luminous flux of one or more light source(s) or light source module(s) for a dipped beam exceeds 2,000 lumens). This proposal replaces the term “LED module” with “Light source module” and modifies wording to adapt to the introduction of “matched pair” requirements for headlamps and AFS.

Proposal to align the requirements for off-road vehicles passing-beam vertical inclination between the 06, 07, 08 series and the 09 series of amendments to UN R48.

Proposal to avoid exceeding the aggregate maximum intensity of the main-beam headlamps (430,000 cd) by removing the double requirement for a sum of reference marks and a sum of maximum luminous intensities which risks generating large rounding errors when the maximum luminous intensities are summed up.
