OICA proposes amendments to LUPC-09-04: amend para. 2.5.22. to expand the definition of energy status indicator to include information on the operational status of energy transfer and illumination to assist in locating electrical connection; delete existing para. 3.2.10. and its subparagraphs; add new paras. 3.2.10. and 3.2.11. requiring statements on energy status indicator lamps and lamp test mode; and amend para. 6.29.9. to clarify that multiple energy status indicators may be installed, change the flashing frequency limit from 2.0 Hz to 5.0 Hz, and enlarge the maximum apparent surface area to accommodate various plug sizes and surrounding illumination designs.

The session discussions addressed the Energy Status Indicator, including modifications to paragraph 2.5.22. defining illumination to assist socket connection, revisions to paragraph 6.29.9. establishing maximum flashing frequency of 5 Hz, and paragraph 6.29.9.5. setting surface size limits up to 150 cm² around sockets. Colour convention for charging status indicators was debated, with proposals for blue (charging), green (charged), orange (failure), and red (danger), to be discussed at the April GRE session. The Lamp Test Mode section addressed concerns regarding testing scope and removed requirements for AFS testing and driving beam testing.
