- Guidance from the IWG-SLR Chairman after WP.29-167
This document was considered in conjunction with the discussion of the “Option 6” in document SLR-07-10 (see item 6 below).
Mr. Puglisi and Mr. Draper introduced a table listing all the possible options for simplification so far considered and, for each one, a summary of pros and cons with the aim to choose the best way forward and provide a rationale to support it.
Mr. Draper informed that the table includes also some comments conveyed by Mr. Frost, who was not able to join the meeting. The participants examined in details each option and provided some additional observations that have been added to the table. With regard to the “Option 5”, Dr. Manz introduced document SLR-07-09 explaining how the regulations could be grouped together using one of the regulations in each group as a place holder for the common parts of the group.
The meeting observed that the “master” regulation should be, within the relevant group, the most adopted one or the least amended one. Although it was recognised that there is no option without disadvantages, the meeting reached the conclusion that the “Option 6” is the one having more chances to be successful. This option is also in line with the guidance from the SLR Chairman available in document SLR-07-02.
Note: document SLR-07-10 shows the outcome of the 7th SLR meeting.

Dec 2015)
- Structure for a new regulation to group a number of existing regulations
Mr. Draper introduced document SLR-07-07 showing three examples of new Regulations incorporating existing regulations. He pointed out that the proposed approach of using classes of lighting devices is intended to facilitate the creation of a single Regulation where the CPs are able to choose which parts of the regulation they will apply.
The meeting observed that the proposed approach is good but will work only when the DETA database will be operative. It was agreed to focus with priority on the Light Signalling devices (i.e. Regulations 4, 6, 7, 23, 38, 77, 87, 91) and the Forward Lighting devices (i.e. Regulations 19, 98, 112, 123, 119), identified respectively as “NEW1” and “NEW2” in document SLR-07-07. It was also agreed to move all the definitions from the draft resolution document (SLR-07-04) to Regulation 48.
Mr. de Visser introduced a revised light sources package, updated following the 74th GRE session. This comprehensive package includes the draft simplified regulations (namely R-37, R-99, R-128 and an extensive justification), the draft resolution on the common specification of light source categories and additional documents to better understand the huge work done and the modifications made to the texts.
During the discussion of the draft resolution document (namely “SLR-07-04 – rev of GRE-2015-28 – draft resolution.docx”), the meeting agreed to move Par. 2.2.1 between Par. 3 and 3.1 and to delete Par. 2.2 as follows:
“ 2.2. General specifications
2.2.1. Luminous flux values in the light source category sheets concern white light unless otherwise specified in these sheets.
3. Light source categories and their use
Luminous flux values in the light source category sheets concern white light unless otherwise specified in these sheets
3.1. Filament light sources
… … …”
During the discussion of the draft simplified regulations, the meeting agreed to indicate the definitions of filament, gas-discharge and LED light sources in the resolution document only. Regulations will refer to them like for the R.E.3. Mr. de Visser will produce a final package for submission to the 75th GRE session (this is now available as document SLR-07-11).
This item was not discussed. It will stay on the agenda for reference.
The draft text for a Resolution document (SLR-05-13/Rev.1) was examined in details and several improvements were made.
The following is a list of the most significant changes and conclusions that were agreed by the SLR: - New title, to include also the type approval of vehicles, to read: “Common provisions for the type approval of lighting, light-signalling and retro-reflecting devices and material and of vehicles with regard to the installation thereof”.
- New scope, derived from R.E.3, to read: “The text hereafter includes all the common provisions from those UN Regulations annexed to the 1958 Agreement, which make reference to this Resolution, for the type approval of lighting, light-signalling and retro-reflecting devices and material and of vehicles with regard to the installation thereof”.
- The Scope will become “Paragraph 1.” and the subsequent ones will be renumbered accordingly.
- The list of contentswill be changed with a very general title and then some sub-paragraphs. As an example, the section dealing with the definitions will have the following structure:
- 2. Definitions
- 2.2. General definitions (including light sources)</li
- 2.3. Definitions with regard to installation
- 2.4. Definitions for devices
- 2.4.1 Definitions for lighting devices
- 2.4.2. Definitions for light-signalling devices
- 2.4.3. Definitions for adaptive front lighting
- 2.4.4. Definitions for retro-reflecting devices
- 2.4.5. … …
- 2.5. … …
A polish work will be done to re-structure the paragraphs throughout the text according to the amended list of contents.
Avoid backward links from the Resolution to the Regulations as much as possible. The user is intended to come to the Resolution from a Regulation and not vice-versa.
A status table will be added at the start of the Resolution for common administrative provisions to indicate the date of publication of each revision, like for the Resolution on light sources (see GRE/2015/28).
Volunteers were identified to improve the following sections:
- A CLEPA delegate will be in charge of section 2 “Definitions”. A comparison table with the old and new references will be produced as well.
- Mr. Genone will be in charge of sections 3, 4 and 5; namely “Application for Approval”, “Approval” and “Markings”.
- Mr. Schwenkschuster, with the assistance of Mr. Prigent and Mr. Langhammer for double-checking the modified references, will be in charge of section 6 “General requirements” which will incorporate sections 7, 8 and 9; namely “General requirements for signalling lamps”, “General requirements for head lamps” and “General requirements for retro-reflecting devices”.
Mr. Puglisi will combine all the different improved parts and circulate the revised text for consideration at the next meeting.

- Example of grouping of lighting device regulations
Mr. Grigorescu introduced an example of the necessary structure to allow the grouping of existing forward lighting regulations into a new UN regulation (document SLR-07-06). He also showed an analysis of the Contracting Parties applying (or not) the various forward lighting regulations (based on an excerpt of the document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/343) and suggested to ask those Contracting Parties who have not signed all the concerned Regulations to consider signing the missing ones. Mr. Draper, observing the analysis of Mr. Grigorescu (now available as document SLR-07-06/Annex 1), pointed out that most of the mandatory Regulations are adopted by all CPs. Dr. Manz commented that the proposed system will only work if all CPs will buy in and the “legacy” Regulations will be frozen. Mr. Gorzkowski suggested to move everything into R-123 and freeze the other front lighting Regulations. The meeting observed that, from a performance point of view, the result is an illuminated road ahead and, to this end, R-123 should be taken into account as it is performance based and “future proof”.

Mr. de Visser introduced a revised light sources package, updated following the 74th GRE session. This comprehensive package includes the draft simplified regulations (namely R-37, R-99, R-128 and an extensive justification), the draft resolution on the common specification of light source categories and additional documents to better understand the huge work done and the modifications made to the texts.
During the discussion of the draft resolution document (namely “SLR-07-04 – rev of GRE-2015-28 – draft resolution.docx”), the meeting agreed to move Par. 2.2.1 between Par. 3 and 3.1 and to delete Par. 2.2 as follows:
“ 2.2. General specifications
2.2.1. Luminous flux values in the light source category sheets concern white light unless otherwise specified in these sheets.
3. Light source categories and their use
Luminous flux values in the light source category sheets concern white light unless otherwise specified in these sheets
3.1. Filament light sources
… … …”
During the discussion of the draft simplified regulations, the meeting agreed to indicate the definitions of filament, gas-discharge and LED light sources in the resolution document only. Regulations will refer to them like for the R.E.3. Mr. de Visser will produce a final package for submission to the 75th GRE session (this is now available as document SLR-07-11).
