He also presented GRE-67-01, showing the proposed changes to IEC 60809 and IEC 60810, linked in Regulations Nos. 4, 6, 7, 23, 38, 50, 77, 87, 91 and 119. GRE noted some concerns about the timing of the proposal and agreed to keep the item on the agenda until the proposals for IEC 60809 and 60810 are adopted.

19. The expert from Germany introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/17, proposing requirements on the use of non-replaceable filament lamps in light sources modules and signalling lamps and referencing to paragraph 2.11 of the IEC 60809, Edition 3 standard. The Chair noted that this standard was not final. He recalled GRE-68-06 reproducing the relevant part of the draft standard. The expert from IEC confirmed that the IEC standard was now final and the proposed text was in compliance with the final text of the standard. The Chair reminded experts of their responsibility to ensure proper use of standards covered by copyrights in their proposals. GRE adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/17 (not amended) and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2013 session as draft:

13. The expert from the European Commission confirmed his reservations on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2012/73 and its corr.1 and did not provide further comments to the document.

14. The expert from Germany introduced GRE-68-04 proposing new provisions for the use of light source control gear in the case of halogen incandescent light sources (introduction of a minimum operating voltage). The expert from OICA argued that the proposal could be in contradiction to UN Regulation No. 123 (GRE-68-21). GRE did not support either proposal and agreed to resume consideration of this subject on the basis of a revised proposal, if available.source control gear in the case of halogen incandescent light sources

15. Moreover, GRE resumed discussion on the interpretation of para. 5.9. The expert from GTB made a presentation (GRE-68-36) to introduce a practical demonstration of the variable direction indicator (Variable D.I.) with a variable apparent surface using Light Emitting Diodes (LED). The expert from the Netherlands raised the issue of prioritizing with lighting signals. GTB made a presentation on a research on this issue (GRE-68-37). GRE experts agreed in principle that LED technology has a faster response and flexibility of use that could lead manufactures to puzzling solutions. The expert from GTB informed GRE that work is underway in its Photometry and Signal Lamp task force and gave a verbal progress report. The expert from Spain expressed concerns on the lack of provisions in UN Regulations (i.e. Nos. 6 and 7) dealing with the type approval of components that do not prevent the use of unsafe solutions (concerning variable apparent surface). GRE confirmed the agreement reached on this subject at its March 2012 session (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/67 para. 58) that according to paragraph 5.9. of UN Regulation No. 48, the installation of a lamp with an intentional variation of the apparent surface would not be allowed and that the same interpretation should be carried over in the type approval of components and technical units (e.g. UN Regulations Nos. 6 and 7.) GRE agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its April 2013 session awaiting outcomes of studies, research and proposals from the expert of GTB.

5. GRE considered ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2012/38 (amended by GRE-68-05) submitted by the expert from GTB revising the requirements on the replacement of light sources.

He also added that his association was also studying the feasibility of establishing GTR’s for Lighting and Signaling Devices and their Installation introducing performance based requirements but noted the difficulties in doing so. He concluded that specific light source regulations might remain largely unchanged because of the need for specific technical provisions. GRE agreed to resume consideration at its next session, noting that GTB volunteered to play an active role in the discussion that would take place on this subject at the November 2013 session of WP.29.

39. The expert from Germany informed GRE about the outcome of the discussion of the Working Party on Road Traffic Safety (WP.1) at its September 2012 session (GRE-68-11). The Secretary to WP.1 reported on the work done by his group, especially on updating the new draft Annex 5 to the Vienna Convention, dealing with vehicle lighting and light signalling. GRE noted that the work progress of WP.1 in that case is slower than its own pace. Some expert remarked that this is causing a formal issue as the Vienna Convention might need a longer time to be updated and to take into consideration work progress of WP.29. The experts from CLEPA recalled that investments were deployed in the transport sector by the industry creating better safety and the environmental conditions. He mentioned, as an example, the framework of the United Nations activities on Intelligent Transport Systems and the activities on “road trains”. He concluded that there is a need to find a more flexible consensus at WP.1 for ensuring adaptation of the Vienna Convention to the technical progress. The Secretary to WP.1 reported on the work ongoing in WP.1 on Advance Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and different issues like “road trains” or “google cars” and pointed out the difficulty of progressing id est the liability aspect in case of accident. GRE agreed to keep this item on its agenda for its next sessions, wishing fruitful outcome discussions from future WP.1 sessions.

45. The expert from OICA made a presentation (GRE-68-19) introducing ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2012/44. The proposal received several comments (GRE-68-08, GRE-68-12 and GRE-68-21).
