73rd GRE session (13-17
Apr 2015)
11. The expert from GTB proposed to introduce a new category ‘D9S’ of light sources with dual-level operation into Regulation No. 99 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/2) as well as to amend the testing and approval provisions in Regulation No. 98 to take into account the multi-level aspects of D9S (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/15).
12. Several experts pointed out that the lower level of operation of D9S provide for the objective luminous flux of 2000 300 lm, thus avoiding the need for headlamps with such light sources to be equipped with cleaning devices and automatic levelling. GRE recalled that, according to paragraph 6.2.9. of Regulation No. 48, these additional requirements only apply to headlamps with lights sources whose objective luminous flux exceeds 2,000 lm without taking into account the tolerances specified on the relevant data sheet. GRE agreed that, in the future, headlamps with any new light sources could only be exempted from these additional requirements if their objective luminous flux, together with any tolerance, is below 2,000 lm. GTB was requested to prepare a respective proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 48.
13. Upon this understanding, GRE adopted the above proposals and requested the secretariat to submit them to WP.29 and the Administrative Committee of the 1958 Agreement (AC.1) for consideration and vote at their November 2015 sessions as draft Supplement 11 to the original series of Regulation No. 99 and draft Supplement 7 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 98, respectively.

Description

Proposal to improve the applicability of paragraph 5.7.1.3.1. (concerning the separation of grouped direction indicator and stop lamps in order to avoid “signal mix”). To improve the present requirements of paragraph 5.7.1.3.1.on the basis of the colour changes concept, three alternative approaches for a suitable separation of direction indicator lamps and stop lamp are proposed:
a) the improved test of the existing paragraph 5.7.1.3.1. clarifies its application to lamps composed of more than one part and deletes the concept of “adjacent” parts of the lamps (that in the past led to different interpretations) in favour of a description of the condition of application of the requirement;
b) the unchanged text of the following paragraph 5.7.1.3.2.;
c) a new paragraph 5.7.1.3.3. to provide for specific electrical connections of the involved functions, in conjunction with the requirements of paragraph 5.9.2.

15. The expert of GTB presented a proposal to introduce optional variable intensity Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) into Regulations No. 48 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/4), together with a proposal to introduce these DRL into Regulation No. 87 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/13) (agenda item 7 (g)). Compared to the current DRL with one level of performance between 400 and 1,200 cd for all ambient conditions, the variable intensity DRL were proposed to have several levels of performance between 200 and 2,000 cd, depending on ambient light conditions.
16. The experts from France and Italy were not in a position to accept this proposal. The experts from Germany, Finland, Netherlands, Poland and UK supported the basic concept of variable DRL and suggested some modifications. GRE also recalled that WP.29 urged GRE to find, in close cooperation with all stakeholders, a solution for DRL for the purpose of listing Regulation No. 48 in an annex to UN Regulation No. 0 (IVWTA) (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1112, para. 43). In this context, the expert from Japan informed GRE that his country was not in a position to support the GTB proposal on road safety concerns for motorcycles, because the figure of 2,000 lm was too high. He also stated that Japan did not want to impede IVWTA and had launched a study on DRL whose outcome would be reported to GRE at the next session. GRE invited GTB to take into account the comments received and to prepare, in cooperation with Japan and other stakeholders, a revised proposal for the next session of GRE.

17. The experts from OICA and GTB proposed to introduce new criteria on the automatic levelling of headlamps based on the outcome of the GTB glare and visibility studies (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/5). The expert from Poland suggested further modifications to this proposal (GRE-73-28). The experts from Germany and Japan proposed to impose automatic levelling in all cases, in order to reduce glare problems for drivers (GRE-73-18). Following an in-depth exchange of views on these three documents, GRE realized that no consensus could be found as long as there was no single proposal.
18. To make progress on this issue and prepare a comprising proposal, GRE decided to establish an Informal Working Group with a draft title “on Visibility, Glare and Levelling” (IWG VGL), for which the experts from Germany and Poland agreed to act as Chair and Secretary, respectively. GRE requested IWG VGL to submit its terms of reference for consideration at the next session of GRE and mandated the Chair to obtain, in June 2015, the consent of WP.29 for the establishment of this IWG.

21. GTB proposed to correct an error in Regulation No. 6 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/7). GRE approved this proposal, but agreed to postpone to the next session a decision to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote, awaiting other possible proposals for amendments to this Regulation in the course of the simplification process.
22. The expert from EC pointed out the administrative burden and legal uncertainty imposed by numerous supplements to lighting and light-signalling Regulations and requested that such amendments be limited to one per year per Regulation. He also expressed concerns about a large number of official documents with amendments proposals submitted by GTB without their prior consideration as informal documents. The expert from GTB stated that his organization would consider how to improve transparency of its work and submissions to GRE. The secretariat clarified that all submissions received earlier than twelve weeks before the session are submitted as official documents for translation, in line with the Rules of Procedure. The expert from UK, chairing the Working Party on Braking and Running Gear (GRRF), informed GRE about the GRRF experiences in dealing with documentation and limiting the number of amendment proposals transmitted to WP.29. Various experts generally supported the idea to collect proposals for amendments to the same Regulation during several sessions of GRE and then to submit them to WP.29 once a year. At the same time, experts called for flexibility and exceptions to this practice, should this be justified by urgent needs of Contracting Parties and/or industry or by emerging new technologies.
23. The Chair drew the following conclusions:
a) Proposals for amendments submitted before the twelve week deadline would continue to be issued as official documents;
b) Official documents submitted to this session of GRE (e.g. ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/7) could be adopted in principle, but put on hold until the next session, pending the outcome of the IWG SLR activities;
c) GRE would collect adopted proposals for amendments to the same Regulation to submit them all together to WP.29 at a certain stage. This general rule should be without prejudice to submitting adopted proposals without delay, based on the grounds of urgency and innovation;
d) The provisional agenda would include a new agenda item for pending amendment proposals.

This proposal concerns lamps equipped with several light sources and fitted with an operating tell-tale that indicates the failure of any one of these light sources. The current provisions for the failure of one light source (the “N-1” requirement) are difficult to apply as a complete photometric check for all possible combinations of light source failure is required. The revised text follows the approach of supplement 17 to Regulation No. 87 and removes the requirement to check the complete photometric requirement, in case of failure of any light source, when the lamp is fitted on the vehicle with an operating tell-tale.

Uniform Provisions Concerning the Approval of Rear Fog Lamps for Power-driven Vehicles and their Trailers
|
This proposal concerns lamps equipped with several light sources and fitted with an operating tell-tale that indicates the failure of any one of these light sources. The current provisions for the failure of one light source (the “N-1” requirement) are difficult to apply as a complete photometric check for all possible combinations of light source failure is required. The revised text follows the approach of supplement 17 to Regulation No. 87 and removes the requirement to check the complete photometric requirement, in case of failure of any light source, when the lamp is fitted on the vehicle with an operating tell-tale.
In paragraph 9, the opportunity has been taken to correct a reference to paragraph 3. of Annex 4. The reference should be to paragraph 4 of Annex 4.

15. The expert of GTB presented a proposal to introduce optional variable intensity Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) into Regulations No. 48 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/4), together with a proposal to introduce these DRL into Regulation No. 87 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/13) (agenda item 7 (g)). Compared to the current DRL with one level of performance between 400 and 1,200 cd for all ambient conditions, the variable intensity DRL were proposed to have several levels of performance between 200 and 2,000 cd, depending on ambient light conditions.
16. The experts from France and Italy were not in a position to accept this proposal. The experts from Germany, Finland, Netherlands, Poland and UK supported the basic concept of variable DRL and suggested some modifications. GRE also recalled that WP.29 urged GRE to find, in close cooperation with all stakeholders, a solution for DRL for the purpose of listing Regulation No. 48 in an annex to UN Regulation No. 0 (IVWTA) (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1112, para. 43). In this context, the expert from Japan informed GRE that his country was not in a position to support the GTB proposal on road safety concerns for motorcycles, because the figure of 2,000 lm was too high. He also stated that Japan did not want to impede IVWTA and had launched a study on DRL whose outcome would be reported to GRE at the next session. GRE invited GTB to take into account the comments received and to prepare, in cooperation with Japan and other stakeholders, a revised proposal for the next session of GRE.
30. This issue was considered in conjunction with agenda item 6 (a) (see paras. 15 and 16 above).

Proposal for Supplement 7 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 98
|
Description
|
This is a proposal to introduce a new HID category (D9S) into Regulation No. 99 with dual-level operation, i.e. with two defined wattage values and corresponding luminous flux values. This new category (D9S) is the first light source in R99 that has two defined power levels. When this dual-level light source is used in a headlamp which is being approved according to Regulation No. 98, the testing and approval provisions must be clearly defined in this Regulation to avoid misinterpretation. Therefore, it is proposed to amend the relevant paragraphs of Regulation No. 98 to take into account the multi-level aspects of D9S and possible future multi-level light sources in Regulation No. 99.

11. The expert from GTB proposed to introduce a new category ‘D9S’ of light sources with dual-level operation into Regulation No. 99 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/2) as well as to amend the testing and approval provisions in Regulation No. 98 to take into account the multi-level aspects of D9S (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/15).
12. Several experts pointed out that the lower level of operation of D9S provide for the objective luminous flux of 2000 300 lm, thus avoiding the need for headlamps with such light sources to be equipped with cleaning devices and automatic levelling. GRE recalled that, according to paragraph 6.2.9. of Regulation No. 48, these additional requirements only apply to headlamps with lights sources whose objective luminous flux exceeds 2,000 lm without taking into account the tolerances specified on the relevant data sheet. GRE agreed that, in the future, headlamps with any new light sources could only be exempted from these additional requirements if their objective luminous flux, together with any tolerance, is below 2,000 lm. GTB was requested to prepare a respective proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 48.
13. Upon this understanding, GRE adopted the above proposals and requested the secretariat to submit them to WP.29 and the Administrative Committee of the 1958 Agreement (AC.1) for consideration and vote at their November 2015 sessions as draft Supplement 11 to the original series of Regulation No. 99 and draft Supplement 7 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 98, respectively.

20. The expert from France proposed to delete a design restrictive requirement in Regulation No. 48 for an auto-levelling device for low beam produced by any LED light sources, while for other light sources this requirement exists only if their reference luminous flux exceeds 2,000 Lm (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/21 and GRE-73-25). According to the expert, should LED be treated in the same way as other lights sources, this would lead to more LED headlamps fitted on new vehicles, thus improving road safety and reducing CO2 emissions. The experts from Belgium, Germany, Japan and UK were of the view that this issue should be first referred to IWG VGL and be considered in one package with other proposals regarding levelling (see paras. 17 and 18 above), upon the understanding that a final solution developed by IWG VGL should be technology neutral. The experts from Italy, Spain, EC, CLEPA and OICA not only supported the French proposal as removing discrimination between various technologies of light sources, but also called for its adoption without delay, irrespective of the IWG activities. GRE agreed that the Chair would submit this issue to the June 2015 session of WP.29 for guidance and to report back to GRE at its next session.
9. Taking into account the recent GTB study (GRE-71-32), the expert from France proposed to delete a design restrictive requirement for an automatic levelling device for all headlamps with LED light sources, irrespective of their luminous flux (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2014/34). GRE agreed that this proposal should be tackled at the next session, in conjunction with the GTB proposals on visibility and glare issues (see para. 14 below).

73rd GRE session (13-17
Apr 2015)
34. The expert from France proposed to delete a design restrictive requirement (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/22 and GRE-73-26). This proposal received comments from the experts of Germany and the Netherlands. The expert from Poland suggested a different approach on this issue (GRE-73-21). The Chair invited the experts from France, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, CLEPA and IEC to prepare a revised proposal for the next session.
43. The expert from France proposed to delete a design restrictive requirement of a minimum luminous flux of 1,000 lm for LED in Regulations Nos. 112 and 123 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2014/35, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2014/36, GRE-72-25). The expert from Poland proposed an alternative definition of photometric requirements (GRE-72-24). GRE supported the deletion of the 1,000 lm requirement, but could not agree with the requirement for light distribution of the beam pattern proposed as an alternative. GRE invited the expert from France, in cooperation with the expert from Poland, to prepare a revised proposal for consideration at the next session. All GRE experts were invited to contribute.
30. The expert of GTB presented the results of their study of minimum levels of flux projected in critical zones of the passing beam distribution of a H4 halogen reflector headlamp and a representative LED headlamp (GRE-76-25). Based on these results, he proposed to remove the design-specific requirement of a minimum objective flux (1,000 lm) for LED and halogen light sources and to replace it with a technology-neutral and performance-based requirement (GRE-76-04-Rev.1). The proposal received comments by the experts from France, Germany, Italy, Poland, UK, EC, OICA. As there was no unequivocal support to the proposal, GRE decided to keep it on the agenda of the next session and to pass it to IWG SLR at a later stage.

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 because 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.
