Proposal from the secretariat to delete the reference to Category 3 and 4 from Annex 1, item 9, of UN R6 since these two categories appear to have been reintroduced by mistake through Amendment 3 to Revision 5 of the regulation.

Proposal to reference the compliance requirements for installation contained in Regulations Nos. 48, 53, 72 and 86 into the Regulations 3, 4, 6, 7, 19, 23, 38, 50, 77, 87, 91, 98, 104, 112, 113, 119 and 123. This proposal is a revised version of document GRE/2013/55 discussed during the October 2013 GRE session.

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.

Text prepared by the International Automotive Lighting and Light Signalling Expert Group (GTB) to amend the requirements relating to failure indication by removing the differentiation between filament and LED light sources. (Currently the provisions in UN Regulation No. 6 treat the failure of a lamp equipped with filament light sources differently to one equipped with LED. Similar requirements in UN Regulation No. 7 do not include this differentiation.)
