6. Regulation No. 48
6. (a) Proposals for amendments to the 05 and 06 series of amendments
GRE/2016/9 | Proposal of supplements to the 04, 05, and 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48 Proposal for Supplement 17 to the 04 series of amendments, Supplement 10 to the 05 series of amendments and Supplement 8 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48. The proposal seeks to clarify paragraph 6.21.1.2.4. with regard to the application of conspicuity markings on bodywork made of flexible material.
GRE/2016/10 | Proposal for amendments to the 03, 04, 05 and 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48. Proposal to further refine the transitional provisions of UN R48. In 2014, the transitional provisions of UN R48 were changed in order to avoid having more than one series of amendments in force at the same time (via Supplement 3 to the 06 series of amendments). This change allows earlier series of amendments to be "frozen" and used under the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system (IWVTA) as "versions" of UN R48. However, the possibility for the partial application of a series of amendments resulting from the installation of new equipment on a vehicle approved to an earlier series has been raised within the IWVTA. This proposal refines the transitional provisions in order to enable partial application of a series through an extension of the existing approval rather by requiring a new approval. At the same time, the proposal aims to ensure that the safety objectives of UN R48 are met.
GRE/2016/7 | Proposal for supplements to the 04, 05, and 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48 Proposal from the Task Force on Tell-Tales for Supplement 17 to the 04 series of amendments, for Supplement 10 to the 05 series of amendments and Supplement 8 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48.
GRE/2016/8 | Proposal for collective amendments to Regulation No. 48 (Installation of lighting and light-signalling devices) and Regulation No. 87 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.
GRE-75-12 | OICA comments on document GRE/2016/10 Document GRE/2016/10 proposed to refine the transitional provisions of UN R48 pursuant to possibilities for the application of the regulation within the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system. Since IWVTA allows for approvals to earlier versions of current regulations, the possibility exists where optional installation of advanced equipment could entail mandatory compliance with the latest version of UN R48. However, UN R48 imposes broad requirements such that efforts to add certain safety equipment are hindered by concerns over compliance with a broad range of requirements under the latest version of UN R48 that raises the consumer price to prohibitive levels. Therefore, OICA supports the solution proposed by GTB (document GRE/2016/10).
GRE/2016/12 | Proposal for Supplement 25 to the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 7 Proposal from the Task Force on Tell-Tales to clarify the requirement for failure indicators.
GRE/2016/17 | Proposal for Supplement 18 to Regulation No. 87 Proposal from the Task Force on Tell-Tales to clarify the requirements for failure indication.
GRE-75-11 | Proposal for amendments to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2016/8 OICA proposal to amend the German 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.
GRE-75-11/Rev.1 | Revised proposal for amendments to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2016/8 Revised 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.
GRE-75-11 | Proposal for amendments to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2016/8 OICA proposal to amend the German 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.
GRE/2016/13 | Proposal for collective amendments to Regulations No. 7, 23, 38, 77, 91, and 119 Proposal to refine the requirements for lamps equipped with several light sources, including in systems fitted with an operating tell-tale that indicates the failure of any one of these light sources. In the case of failure of any one light source in a single lamp containing more than one light source, either the light intensity must comply with the minimum intensity required in the table of standard light distribution in space or, for lamps used in systems where a tell-tale indicates the failure of any one of the light sources, the light intensity in the axis of reference must be at least 50 per cent of the minimum intensity required.
GRE/2016/8 | Proposal for collective amendments to Regulation No. 48 (Installation of lighting and light-signalling devices) and Regulation No. 87 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.

GRE/2015/38 | Proposal for Supplement 18 to Regulation No. 50 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.
7. (i) Regulation No. 53 (Installation of lighting and light-signalling devices for L3 vehicles)
GRE/2016/15 | Proposal for Supplement 19 to the 01 series of Regulation No. 53 Proposal to remove restrictions that impede the use of bend lighting on motorcycles. UN R53 currently prohibits the use of additional lighting units when the driving beam is in use. This requirement unnecessarily restricts the use of ALU to improve road illumination at night when the motorcycle is banking through a turn.
GRE-75-08 | Proposal for the 03 series of amendments to Regulation No. 53 Proposal to require automatic switching of motorcycle daytime running lamps to headlamp illumination at night. The concern is that DRL are left on, causing glare. This proposal aligns with the provisions of UN R48.

In the case of failure of any one light source in a single lamp containing more than one light source, either the light intensity must comply with the minimum intensity required in the table of standard light distribution in space or, for lamps used in systems where a tell-tale indicates the failure of any one of the light sources, the light intensity in the axis of reference must be at least 50 per cent of the minimum intensity required.

7. (r) Regulation No. 123 (Adaptive front-lighting systems (AFS))
GRE/2016/14 | Proposal for a collective amendment to Regulations Nos. 19, 45, 98, 112, 113 and 123 Proposal to amend the formula for the dirt mixture used in testing to address an error introduced by Supplement 9 to the 01 series of amendments to UN R45 where the specified quantity of "2 &plusmn; 1 parts by weight" of surfactant results in invalid testing. The correct specification should be "2 &plusmn; 1 drops" of surfactant. While GTB notes that the specification should eventually be incorporated differently under the pending simplification of lighting regulations, the organization strongly urges amending UN R45 as quickly as possible.

9. (c) Development of an International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA)
GRE/2016/10 | Proposal for amendments to the 03, 04, 05 and 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48. Proposal to further refine the transitional provisions of UN R48. In 2014, the transitional provisions of UN R48 were changed in order to avoid having more than one series of amendments in force at the same time (via Supplement 3 to the 06 series of amendments). This change allows earlier series of amendments to be "frozen" and used under the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system (IWVTA) as "versions" of UN R48. However, the possibility for the partial application of a series of amendments resulting from the installation of new equipment on a vehicle approved to an earlier series has been raised within the IWVTA. This proposal refines the transitional provisions in order to enable partial application of a series through an extension of the existing approval rather by requiring a new approval. At the same time, the proposal aims to ensure that the safety objectives of UN R48 are met.
GRE-75-11 | Proposal for amendments to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2016/8 OICA proposal to amend the German 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.
GRE/2016/8 | Proposal for collective amendments to Regulation No. 48 (Installation of lighting and light-signalling devices) and Regulation No. 87 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.
