44. The expert from Japan introduced GRE-69-23 proposing amendments to Regulation No. 4 taking into account national specificities of the Japanese registration plate. GRE wondered if it was necessary to add a new specific plate category into Regulation No. 4 or if an amendment of the existing dimensions would solve Japan’s issue. GRE agreed to revisit this item at its October session, based on an updated proposal that the expert from Japan volunteered to prepare.

Further corrections and clarifications to the proposal to clarify and simplify the transitional provisions of the 06 series of UN R48.

8. The expert from GTB introduced GRE-69-17 amended by GRE-69-36 superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/9, clarifying the transitional provisions of Regulation No. 48. The proposal solved the situation set before the adoption of the guidelines on transitional provisions as set in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1044/Rev.1. The experts confirmed that the specificities of Regulation No. 48 required a small deviation from the transitional provisions’ guideline. GRE adopted the proposal as reproduced in Annex III to the report. GRE requested the secretariat to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2013 sessions as draft Supplement 3 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48 (see paras. 6 and 7).

Under agenda item 5(f) of the 69th GRE session, the GTB proposal (GRE/2013/5) to cease granting type approvals under UN R5 and R31 was approved.

Pursuant to an Italian request, GRE agreed to delete the references to UN R31 in paragraphs 6.1.2. and 6.2.2. of UN R48 and requested Italy to prepare present document specifying the proposed changes.

22. The expert from GTB introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/5, proposing to cease the granting of new type approvals to the “Sealed Beam” headlamps and to correct the title of Regulation No. 31.

GRE requested the secretariat to distribute GRE-69-38 with an official symbol at its October 2013 session. GRE adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/5 as amended by Annex VII to the report and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2013 sessions as draft (see paras. 6, 7, 9, 11, 15 and 16):

(a) new 03 series of amendments to Regulation No. 5;
(b) new 03 series of amendments to Regulation No. 31;
(c) Supplement 3 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48.

Pursuant to item 5(f) of GRE-69, the GTB proposal (GRE/2013/5) to cease issuing type approvals under UN R5 and R31 was approved.

This prompted proposals to look for similar references in UN R53, R74 and R86. No references to UN R31 were found, but references to similarly ‘frozen’ regulations (UN R1, R8, R20, R56, R57, R72, R76 and R82) were found.

The present document proposes to delete these obsolete references in UN R53 and R74.

Submitted by Germany in order to update the Conformity of Production (CoP) requirements.

20. The expert from Germany introduced the documents listed above, proposing simplifications of Conformity of Production (COP) requirements for these Regulations. The expert from the Netherlands expressed concerns that these proposals might introduce excessive tolerances by deleting the statistical confidence of 95 per cent requirement. The expert from Germany introduced GRE-69-33, GRE-69-34 and GRE-69-35 respectively amending ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/23, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/24 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/31, as reproduced in Annex V. GRE adopted these three proposals as amended by Annex V to the report as well as the remaining proposals (not amended), and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2013 sessions as draft (see para. 19 item (a) to (j)):

UN R7 has no requirements concerning changes in lamp luminance. Therefore, certain lamps which could not be installed in accordance with UN R48 could nonetheless obtain type approval and be sold in the aftermarket. This proposal would prevent such an occurrence. This document supersedes GRE-68-29.

Submitted by Germany and based on informal document GRE-68-30, proposing 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.

14. GRE reconsidered ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/39 tabled by the proposal from Germany, deleting the exemption for vehicles of category M1 and N1 on the separation of the position lamps. GRE agreed to continue the discussion on this matter and requested the secretariat to provide a specific agenda item “vehicle signature” for the October 2013 GRE session.

14. The expert from Germany introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/39 on the separation of position lamps. GRE agreed to revisit this subject at its next session on the basis of a revised document concentrating on the separation of front position lamps, which the expert from Germany volunteered to prepare in collaboration with OICA, CLEPA and the expert from Japan.

23. GRE noted that the expert from Germany had withdrawn ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2013/39 on the separation of position lamps.
