However, lamp performances shall be tested during type approval also with the LED substitute light source. Approval of the lamp using filament light source(s) is a prerequisite for approval of the lamp using LED substitute light source(s).</li><li>COP testing of the lamp is required with an (etalon) filament light source only, because the LED substitute is the counterpart light source of the filament light source, resulting in equivalent photometrical lamp performance. The quality i.e. the equivalence to the filament light source, is controlled in R128.</li><li>Use of LED substitute light sources is at the discretion of the applicant, who shall declare this use, if any, to the Approval Authorities at the time of application for the first lamp approval or subsequent extension of approval issued for the version using the LED substitute light source.</li><li>The use of LED substitute light source(s) in a certain lamp type shall be indicated on the lamp by marking of the LED substitute light source category, in addition to the marking of the filament light source of which the LED substitute light source is the counterpart.<br/><br/>This marking on the lamp will be used for checking the allowance for use of lamps with LED substitute light sources in application of the Regulation on lamps installation on vehicle.</li><li>In case a lamp with colour filter(s) is approved for using LED substitute light source(s), this lamp shall be marked “G” to indicate that this lamp shall be equipped with LED substitute light source(s) marked “G” for colour and luminous intensity quality reasons.</li><li>The indication of both the filament light source and of its LED counterpart light source, if any, shall be explicitly provided in the communication form.</li></ol>

6. (a) Regulation No. 48: Proposals for amendments to the 05 and 06 series of amendments
GRE/2016/24 | Proposal for Supplement 11 to the 05 series of amendments and Supplement 9 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48 Proposal to correct the terminology in paragraph 5.7.2.1. for consistency across all requirements and to clarify the language in paragraphs 6.2.9., 6.3.6.1.2.1. and 6.3.6.1.2.2. to promote the correct application of the 2,000-lumen limit.
GRE/2016/33 | Proposal for Supplement 18 to the 04 series, Supplement 11 to the 05 series and Supplement 9 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48 Proposal to amend Regulation No. 48 following the outcome of the 167th session of the World Forum where amendments to Regulations Nos. 97 and 116 on the status indicators for Vehicle Alarm System (VAS), Alarm System (AS) and immobilizer were adopted (WP.29/2015/87 and WP.29/2015/91). The proposal aims at defining and specifying the operation of the external status indicator for VAS, AS and the immobilizer.
GRE/2016/33/Corr.1 | Proposal for Supplement 18 to the 04 series, Supplement 11 to the 05 series and Supplement 9 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48 Correction of the proposal to amend Regulation No. 48 following the outcome of the 167th session of the World Forum where amendments to Regulations Nos. 97 and 116 on the status indicators for Vehicle Alarm System (VAS), Alarm System (AS) and immobilizer were adopted (WP.29/2015/87 and WP.29/2015/91). The proposal aims at defining and specifying the operation of the external status indicator for VAS, AS and the immobilizer.
GRE-76-17 | Proposal for amendments to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2016/33 Proposal to clarify that only external status indicators as referenced in UN R97 and R116 are addressed under the proposal to define such external indicators and introduce performance specifications under UN R48 for Vehicle Alarm Systems (VAS), Alarm Systems (AS) and immobilizers (draft Supplement 18 to the 04 series, Supplement 11 to the 05 series and Supplement 9 to the 06 series of amendments to UN R48).
GRE-77-06/Rev.1 | Proposal for a Supplement to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48 The 05 and 06 series of amendments provide for automatic adjustment of lamps based on ambient light conditions. To avoid misuse of the daytime running lamps (DRL), automatic switching between DRL and dipped-beam headlamps is preferable; however, manual switching for specific cases is still necessary. Under the transitional provisions for series 05 of amendments, only automatic switching would be permissible after 30.7.2016 (for new type of categories M1 and N1 vehicles) and after 30.1.2018 (for new type of other categories vehicles). Nonetheless, in the transitional provisions for series 06 of amendments, the same transitional period appears to have been unintentionally omitted. This proposed supplement corrects this mistake in the 06 series by deleting the alternatives to the automatic switching from the 06 series of amendments:<ol class="alpha"><li>deletion of paragraphs 6.2.7.6.2 and 6.2.7.6.3;</li><li>merging and rewording of paragraphs 6.2.7.5 and 6.2.7.6;</li><li>consequent editorial adjustment in paragraph 5.11.1.3. and 6.19.7.4. to maintain acceptable the rear position lamps switching possibility allowed by the present text;</li><li>small editorial changes to better clarify that an automatic switching based on different factors in respect to those prescribed in paragraph 6.2.7.5. (new numbering) are allowed only as supplemental condition;</li><li>other editorial changes and renumbering for text and numbering coherence.</li></ol>
GRE-77-10/Rev.1 | Proposal for a supplement to 06 series of Regulation No. 48 Proposal to:<ol class=alpha"><li>delete paragraphs 6.2.7.6.2. to 6.2.7.6.3.2. concerning transitional provisions for the 05 series of amendments,</li><li>to clarify that drivers may not switch OFF the dipped-beam headlamps manually when they are switched ON automatically according to paragraph 6.2.7.6.1., and</li><li>to clarify that daytime running lamps shall not be switched OFF except as specified in paragraphs 6.19.7.1. to 6.19.7.6. (For example, DRLs shall not be switched OFF when only the position lamps are ON.).</li></ul>
GRE-77-16 | Updating the requirements of Regulation No. 48 on signalization of light source failure in lamps equipped with multiple light sources During October 2016, GRE-76 adopted collective amendments (GRE/2016/31) to align the requirements of lamp regulations (7, 23, 38, 48, 77, 91 and 119) to guarantee the conformity of the lamp in case of any failure or the mandatory indication that a failure had occurred. This means that when a failure indication signal is provided by the lamp, the vehicle shall be equipped with a tell-tale indicating the failure. Thus, amendments were proposed for Regulation No. 48 to specify the modes of displaying the corresponding failure (see GRE/2016/7). Subsequently, some GRE experts requested GTB to clarify the text of its proposal. This proposal amends UN R48 with respect to all lamps affected by GRE/2016/31 to include the failure indication requirement. The proposal does not apply to the failure indication requirements already in UN R 48 prior to the last (76th) GRE session.
GRE-77-24 | Modifications to GRE-77-06 Modifications to the proposal for a supplement to the 06 series of amendments to UN R48 with regard to switching between daytime running lamps and dipped-beam headlamps.
GRE-77-20 | Proposal for a Supplement to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48 Proposal to update paragraph 6.9.8. with regard to current technologies (e.g. LED and IPS) where instrument panels remain illuminated whenever the engine is running. With the advent of new automated technologies and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), the number of warnings and symbols may dramatically increase in the near future. This proposal aims to reduce risks of driver confusion by reducing the number of symbols displayed on the instrument panel. The Chinese Standard GB 4094 already captures this possibility. The proposal is therefore also a move toward further international harmonization.
GRE-77-23 | Modifications to GRE-77-10/Rev.1 (DRL switching)
GRE-77-25 | Proposal for a consolidated version of GRE/2016/33 and GRE-76-17 on Regulation No. 48 Proposal to amend GRE/2016/33 and GRE-76-17 pursuant to discussions at the October 2016 GRE-76 session:<ol><li>The direct reference to Regulations Nos. 97 and 116 that was included in GRE-76-17, para. 2.37. was removed based on the observation of the representative of Finland on a potential split, in the future, of some of the Regulations under the responsibility of GRSG.</li><li>In another remark from the representative of Finland, the word “indicator” that was missing in the last sentence of para. 2.37. in the text of the proposals GRE/2016/33 and GRE-76-17 has been added.</li><li>Based on the comments from the representatives of France, UK, Finland and Japan, the area of the apparent surface, mentioned in GRE/2016/33 and GRE-76-17, para. 5.30. <notextile>(c)</notextile> has been lowered from 50 cm<sup>2</sup> to 20 cm<sup>2</sup>, in the case of one indicator is being installed on the vehicle. If two indicators are installed, the area of the apparent surface should not exceed 10 cm<sup>2</sup> per indicator.
GRE/2017/7 | Proposals for amendments to Regulations Nos. 4, 6, 7, 19, 23, 38, 48, 50, 77, 87, 91, 98, 112, 113, 119 and 123 Proposal to clarify the requirements for light sources in the lighting and light-signalling Regulations listed in Annex 4 to Regulation No. 0 on the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA).
GRE-77-23 | Modifications to GRE-77-10/Rev.1 (DRL switching)
GRE-77-06/Rev.1 | Proposal for a Supplement to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48 The 05 and 06 series of amendments provide for automatic adjustment of lamps based on ambient light conditions.

GRE-77-20 | Proposal for a Supplement to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48 Proposal to update paragraph 6.9.8. with regard to current technologies (e.g. LED and IPS) where instrument panels remain illuminated whenever the engine is running. With the advent of new automated technologies and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), the number of warnings and symbols may dramatically increase in the near future.

7. (c) Other Regulations: Regulation No. 53
GRE/2016/35 | Proposal for the 03 series of amendments to Regulation No. 53 Motorcycle daytime running lamps (DRL) can cause glare under nightime conditions (i.e., if left activated after sunset). Therefore, this proposal would require automatic switching from DRL to normal headlamp lighting as conditions warrant.
GRE-76-03 | Analysis of glare given to oncoming vehicles by motorcycles DRLs at night
GRE-76-06 | Proposal for draft amendments to Regulation No. 53
GRE-77-08 | Proposal for draft amendments to Regulation No. 53 Proposal to make the fitting of front position lamps optional and allow for its separate control under certain conditions and to allow for rear positions lamps and registration plate lamps to be lit during the period between the activation of the master switch and the engine start.
GRE-77-09 | India Comments on glare given to oncoming vehicles by motorcycle DRLs at night
GRE-77-17 | Discussion of DRL automatic switching proposal for Regulation No. 53 During April 2016, Japan presented a study to GRE-75 on the disturbance due to the use of motorcycle daytime running lamps (DRL) at night (see GRE-75-09). A proposal (GRE/2016/35 supported by GRE-76-03) for automatic switching between DRL and headlamps was then presented during October 2016 at GRE-76. Italy, among others, raised a reservation. This document details Italy's concerns with the proposal by Japan.

GRE-77-08 | Proposal for draft amendments to Regulation No. 53 Proposal to make the fitting of front position lamps optional and allow for its separate control under certain conditions and to allow for rear positions lamps and registration plate lamps to be lit during the period between the activation of the master switch and the engine start.
7. (d) Other Regulations: Regulation No. 112
GRE-76-04/Rev.1 | Proposal for Supplement 7 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 112 Proposal to update document GRE/2016/34. At the 73rd GRE session, France proposed to delete a design restrictive requirement (GRE/2015/22 and GRE-73-26). This proposal received comments from Germany and the Netherlands. Poland suggested a different approach on this issue (GRE-73-21). The Chair invited France, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, CLEPA and IEC to prepare a revised proposal for the next session. Based upon the approach proposed in GRE/2015/22 and GRE-73-26, GTB has investigated the specification of minimum levels of flux projected in critical zones of the passing beam distribution. This approach offers a technology-neutral performance based requirement. The result of the GTB study is to propose minimum projected flux requirements in two zones: a) 15°D-1°U/30°L-30°R to ensure overall adequate illumination of the road and b) 3.5°D-1°U/30°L-30°R to ensure sufficient range.

7. (e) Other Regulations: Regulation No. 123
GRE/2016/28 | Proposal for Supplement 8 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 123 During its 69th session, GRE adopted proposals to update the Conformity of Production (CoP) procedures for lighting and light-signalling devices, but decided to await the work of a GTB task force on the simplification of CoP provisions for AFS before addressing UN R123. This proposal amends the CoP procedures in line with those agreed for UN R112 (document GRE/2013/37) to create simplified photometric CoP tables for each class (C, V, W, E, R, RADB) with its applicable 0/20/30 per cent limits. Furthermore, the task force clarified which tests are necessary for CoP testing and which are necessary only for type approval testing.
