Proposal to clarify the vehicle conditions of the test methods for detection systems in Annex 10, including to specify that not only rear hatches or trunk lids but also the tail gates of cargo trucks and van-type vehicles should be closed or latched in their normal vehicle operating condition during the test.

Proposal for a new UN Regulation transposing GTR 21 for use under the 1958 Agreement.

Proposal to remove additions to non-existing part of the 06 series of amendments (delete the PEMS PM number).

Proposal to delete reference numbers to absent footnotes (delete orphaned reference numbers).

Proposal to correct editorial errors to the text of Supplement 1 to the 05 series of amendments.

Proposal to:

• Clarify the need for 3-phase and 4-phase analysis of test data depending on the fuel type of the engine (petrol or diesel)
• Clarify and align the provision of PEMS concentration and emission correction with UN Regulations as common provision
• Amend the scope to allow type approval of vehicles that previously were only within the scope as an extension based on their reference mass.

Proposal to:

• Clarify that only light-signalling devices may incorporate an illuminated logo
• Align UN R48 with 01 series of amendments to R148 and R149.

Proposal to correct a reference to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 148 and align UN R48 from the 03 to the 08 series of amendments with 01 series of amendments to UN Regulations Nos.148 and 149.

Proposal to correct a reference to the 01 series of amendments to UN R148 and to align UN R48 with the 01 series of amendments to UN R148 and R149.

Proposal to:

• Align UN R48 with updated requirements in UN R149 with regard to light sources and total objective luminous flux
• Replace the term “LED module” with “Light source module”
• Modify wording to adapt to the introduction of “matched pair” requirements for headlamps and AFS
• Align the requirements for off-road vehicles passing-beam vertical inclination across UN R48 series
• Allow the projection of a pattern for predicted trajectory
• Amend failure detection and signalisation requirements to reflect technological progress in multiple light sources.

Proposal to:

• Align the requirements in UN R48 with updated requirements in UN R149 (e.g., require 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)
• Replace the term “LED module” with “Light source module” and modify wording to adapt to the introduction of “matched pair” requirements for headlamps and AFS
• 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
