Proposal from the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) to delete the 1 candela requirement for geometric visibility. In the original document, the strikethrough proposed for the contents of paragraph 6.2.5 was omitted. This document corrects that omission.

GTB proposal to amend the geometric visibility provisions. Subsequent to the preparation of the proposed amendments in document GRE/2012/42, several editorial corrections have been identified by GTB experts. This document replaces that original submission.

Proposal from Germany, prepared with support from the Netherlands, to insert provisions for the use of light source control gear in the case of halogen incandescent light sources.

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

During the 64th GRE session, GTB was charged to review and update the transitional provisions of Regulation 48. This draft proposal has been developed by the GTB Installation Working Group in close cooperation with OICA.

Proposal to permit manufacturers to restrict the ability of the driver to permanently turn off manually the main beams and their automatic controls. This proposal would permit the use of time-delay systems that would reactivate the automatic system, tentatively suggesting a 10-second delay.

Updated 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 complete while these systems have become obsolete.

Document GRE-68-02 from the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) proposes to amend the geometric visibility provisions of multiple lighting regulations. Since manufacturers have already developed lighting in line with the current definitions, OICA seeks a 48-month transition period.

Document GRE/2012/29 proposes to clarify the requirements for the mandatory manual override of the automatic/adaptive driving beam (ADB) function. While agreeing with the sub-menu prohibition, OICA proposes to delete the prohibition on “multi-step operations” so as not to restrict future designs.

OICA presentation on document GRE/2012/27, a proposal for Supplement 3 to the 05 series of amendments to UN R48 from Poland to replace the artificial 2,000 lm borderline and LED automatic leveling requirements with performance-based distance and glare criteria for headlamps.

Document GRE/2012/28 is a proposal from the Netherlands and the United Kingdom to further clarify the test conditions for the requirements on the sensitivity of the sensor system for automatic/adaptive driving beam. This OICA document notes that the presence of position lamps is optional.

Document GRE-68-04 is a proposal to insert provisions for the use of light source control gear in the case of halogen incandescent light sources. This proposal deletes limits on the main passing beam and responds to concerns raised by IEC in document GRE-67-30.

Proposal to delete the exemption for category M1 and N1 vehicles from the requirement for a minimum distance between the inner edges of two adjacent lighting surfaces.

Presentation of Polish opinion poll results in support of document GRE/2012/27, the proposal to replace the artificial 2,000 lm borderline and LED automatic leveling requirements with performance-based distance and glare criteria for headlamps.

Poland’s response to comments submitted by OICA (document GRE-68-20) regarding document GRE/2012/27 concerning the influence of headlamp initial aiming and leveling tolerances on road illumination distance.

GRE/2012/42 is a GTB proposal to amend the geometric visibility provisions. This document corrects GRE/2012/42 in line with the latest state of the subject regulations including amendments submitted for consideration at the November WP.29 session.

Presentation with additional refinements to the submission from Poland to replace the artificial 2,000 lm borderline and LED automatic leveling requirements with performance-based distance and glare criteria for headlamps.

Presentation reviewing flasher signals and technological advances in support of developing clearer parameters within UN R6 and R48 to govern variations of light signals.

Presentation on the GTB’s Coordination of Automotive Visibility and Glare Studies (CAVGS) task force activities.

Presentation on GTB survey of literature related to glare and visibility issues including accident data, visual acuity research, lamp aiming, etc.

Update on the CAVGS task force activities.

Revised OICA presentation on document GRE/2012/27, a proposal for Supplement 3 to the 05 series of amendments to UN R48 from Poland to replace the artificial 2,000 lm borderline and LED automatic leveling requirements with performance-based distance and glare criteria for headlamps.

This document contains editorial corrections to document GRE/2012/42 to amend the geometric visibility provisions of Regulations No. 3, 6, 7, 48, 77 and 91 following a review with the GRE secretariat to ensure that the proposal aligns with the latest state of the regulations.
