Status report on the work of TF-LUPC following two meetings since GRE-94. The group is improving a proposal on lamps under parked conditions, with open issues remaining on energy status indicators, lamp test mode, and related specifications. A final proposal is planned for submission to GRE-96 in April 2027 for integration into the 10 series of amendments to UN R48.

OICA proposes:

• Amend the heading of para. 2.11.5. to clarify that additional colours are introduced specifically for energy status indication,
• Add colour requirements in para. 5.15. permitting white, amber, red, selective-yellow, indicator blue, or indicator green for energy status indicators, with indicator blue and indicator green reserved for charging, discharging, or scheduling of energy transfer to or from the rechargeable electrical energy storage system,
• Replace multiple charging connector provisions in para. 6.29.9.1. to specify conditions for energy status indicator activation,
• Add para. 6.29.9.1.1. permitting independent activation of multiple energy status indicators,
• Insert para. 6.29.9.6. requiring vehicle manufacturers to declare intended use of indicator blue and indicator green in the information document,
• Add para. 6.29.9.2. establishing observation area intensity requirements and limiting intensity outside this area to 140 cd,
• Amend Annex 14 to include energy status indicators.

Terms of reference and rules of procedure for the Task Force on Lamps Under Parked Conditions (TF-LUPC). TF-LUPC shall review the requirements of the current suite of lamps under parked conditions and develop proposals within the framework of UN R48 pertaining to Energy Indicator and Lamp test mode.
