GRE-71-27 | Proposal for amendments to document GRE/2014/13 Document GRE/2014/13 proposes to ensure that the introduction of the new class F marking materials does not conflict with the mandatory requirements for existing class C materials. The addition of Class F brings markings required under certain countries' national legislation within the UN regulatory system. However, Japan actually prohibits the use of white retro-reflective markings on the rear of vehicles. Therefore, Japan proposes the addition of a footnote confirming the right of Contracting Parties to prohibit the use of Class F markings under national legislation.

GRE-71-28 | Proposal for amendments to document GRE/2013/65/Rev.1 Document GRE/2013/65/Rev.1 proposes a new class F of marking materials designed with chevron type pattern to be applied to special utility vehicles or trailers not ordinarily covered by standard contour marking materials. The proposal also attempts to harmonize a number of national requirements. Japan, however, prohibits white retro-reflecting materials at the rear of vehicles for safety reasons. Therefore, Japan proposes to clarify that the approval of Class F retro-reflective markings is dependent upon their definition within national regulatory requirements.

GRE-71-09 | Proposal for Supplement [ ... ] to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 112 Proposal to delete the requirement that the total objective luminous flux of all LED modules producing the principal passing (main low) beam of a headlamp be greater than or equal to 1000 lumens. France argues that the requirement is design-restrictive, unnecessary given the objective criteria for luminous output and photometric grid points of the regulation, and obsolete given improvements in LED technologies.

GRE-71-10 | Proposal for Supplement [...] to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 123 Proposal to delete the requirement that the total objective luminous flux of all LED modules producing the principal passing (main low) beam of a headlamp be greater than or equal to 1000 lumens. France argues that the requirement is design-restrictive, unnecessary given the objective criteria for luminous output and photometric grid points of the regulation, and obsolete given improvements in LED technologies.

GRE-71-31 | India’s comments on document GRE/2014/9 In document GRE/2014/9, IMMA proposed the use of different brake lamp activation methods and the introduction of high-mounted stop lamps to improve the conspicuity of "powered two-wheelers" under Regulation No. 53. In this document, India offers a number of editorial recommendations.

GRE-71-30 | India’s Comments on document GRE/2014/7 In document GRE/2014/7, IMMA proposed to introduce the possibility of interdependent lamps for dedicated motorcycle lamps as Supplement 17 to Regulation No. 50. The concern was that the rear trunk lid commonly used for four-wheeled vehicles may be adapted for future scooter type motorcycles to secure the storage space for helmet, etc. Current lamp requirements impose design constraints that may hamper the proper development of such storage features. In this document, India proposes to clarify that the installation height of the device must be less than or equal to 750 mm.

WP.29/2012/83 | Proposal for Supplement 2 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 113 Proposal as adopted by the Working Party on Lighting and Light-Signalling (GRE) at its sixty-seventh session to update the definition of "type", to correct and harmonize the provisions concerning approval markings, and introducing bend lighting for motorcycles.

WP.29/2013/79 | Proposal for Supplement 17 to Regulation No. 38 GRE proposal to insert provisions for the use of incandescent light sources in the case of light source modules and lamps with non-replaceable light sources and to update the Conformity of Production (CoP) requirements.

GRE-71-26 | Proposal for further amendments to Regulation No. 10 Text originally prepared by Belgium to propose amendments to Regulation No. 107 to align the additional safety prescriptions for trolleybuses (Annex 12) with the corresponding electrical standards (see document GRSG/2013/16). During discussion in the October 2013 session of GRSG, some Contracting Parties felt that the prescriptions for electromagnetic compatibility of trolleybuses belong in Regulation No. 10. So these prescriptions are taken out of the amended proposal (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/19) and are proposed here for consideration by GRE for further action.

GRSG/2013/16 | Proposal for further amendments to Regulation No. 107 Proposal to amend Annex 12 of the regulation to align its safety prescriptions for trolley buses with current electrical standards.

GRE/2013/43/Rev.1 | Proposal for collective amendments to Regulations Nos. 53 and 74 Text prepared by Italy to delete all obsolete references in Regulations Nos. 53 and 74 in order to avoid confusion and possible incorrect application of the requirements containing these references. The deletions cover references to Regulations Nos. 1, 8, 20, 56, 57, 72, 76 and 82. These regulations have all been "frozen" (i.e., they do not apply to new type approvals) and their functions have been taken over by Regulations Nos. 112 and 113.

GRE-71-03 | Proposal for amendments to Revision 8 of UN Regulation No. 48 Correction to paragraph 6.2.7.6.1. where the reference should read Annex 13 instead of Annex 12.

GRE/2014/3 | Proposal for Collective amendments to Regulations Nos. 4, 6, 7, 19, 23, 38, 45, 50, 65, 77, 87, 91, 98, 104, 112, 113, 119 and 123 Text prepared by the International Automotive Lighting and Light Signalling Expert Group (GTB) to clarify the definition of "type", with regard to manufacturer, trade names and marks and to introduce editorial improvements to the requirements for markings. Although documents GRE/2013/45 and GRE-70-02 were adopted by GRE at its last (70th) session, this proposal consolidates the amendments and offers editorial improvements to the provisions concerning markings in Regulations Nos. 19, 23, 38, 65 and 119. These editorial improvements aim to clarify that the devices, and not only the samples, shall bear the trade name or mark and align the requirements with the other correctly worded regulations to avoid misunderstanding.
