Proposal to further update UN R86 which highlights changes being made to Supplement 6 (document WP.29/2015/26 based on GRE/2014/30) adopted during the March 2015 WP.29 session.

Proposal from the secretariat to correct an error introduced by Supplement 8 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 74 (WP.29/2014/23).

Proposals from the GRE Task Force on Tell-tales to clarify the regulations.

Proposal to introduce provisions for “side-illuminating lamps” that aim to improve the driver’s visibility over the opposite side of the road (on-coming traffic side) and its buffer zone to mitigate the impact of glare from on-coming vehicles. This submission supersedes the earlier formal document GRE/2015/6.

Proposal to introduce provisions for “side-illuminating lamps” that aim to improve the driver’s visibility over the opposite side of the road (on-coming traffic side) and its buffer zone to mitigate the impact of glare from on-coming vehicles. This submission supersedes the earlier document GRE/2015/19.

Proposal to clarify the requirements with regard to daytime running lamps and direction indicators in order to prevent DRL from masking or otherwise interfering with the visibility of the direction indicator lamps. Germany believes that the current text produces different interpretations with different results that risk degrading vehicle safety.

Supplemental presentation in support of document GRE/2015/3: Proposal for Supplement 9 to the 05 series of amendments and Supplement 7 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48.

Proposal to delete the angle of incidence provision that was developed to ensure that the vehicle registration plate is illuminated. Given current technologies (e.g., LED lamps), the performance requirements of Annex 5 can be met without reference to the angle of incidence.

Discussions have arisen within GRRF concerning failure warnings for trailer direction indicators and brake lights. This paper alerts GRE to the absence of a standardized approach to communicating such lighting failures for trailers which may be a subject for consideration under UN R48.

Proposal to reduce glare problems for drivers by deleting the exemption in Regulation No. 48 that allows manual leveling for dipped-beam headlamps, effectively mandating automatic leveling.

Comments on the proposal to introduce new requirements for automatic leveling systems as a means to reduce driver glare (document GRE/2015/5).

Comments on document GRE/2015/6 proposing to introduce provisions for “side-illuminating lamps” that aim to improve the driver’s visibility over the opposite side of the road (on-coming traffic side) and its buffer zone and to mitigate the impact of glare from on-coming vehicles.

Comments on the proposal to align the requirements of UN Regulation No. 10 with regard to electromagnetic compatibility of trolleybuses with the electrical standards in Annex 12 to UN Regulation No. 107 (document GRE/2014/41).

Proposal to allow LED light source approval based on photometric criteria in place of the current minimum criteria of 1000 lumens.

Presentation on activities, especially LED retrofit study.
