Explanation of changes between the proposal to introduce requirements for light emitting diode (LED) substitute light sources into Regulations Nos. 48, 53, 74 and 86 presented at GRE-77E/2017/4) and the revised proposal (GRE/2017/22) submitted for consideration at GRE-78.

Request for guidance regarding interpretation of UN lighting rules:

1. Is it allowed that the shape of the apparent surface can be the logo of the manufacturer brand or other brand-identifying figures?
2. Is it allowed that the shape of the apparent surface can be the same as an evocative/suggestive figure? Even as an informative figure such as road traffic
   signs?
3. Is the advertising lighting allowed at the national level in the Contracting parties, regarding to its influence on road safety and distraction?
4. Do we have to consider an apparent surface, whose shape is the logo of a brand manufacturer or other brand-identifying figures, as a advertising lighting?

Proposal to address inconsistencies, clarify text, and correct terminology in Regulation No. 48:

• para. 5.7.2.1. editorial alignment of text with current terminology
• replace undefined “effective outlet” terminology with defined “apparent surface” reference
• reintroduction of missing reference to “transverse plane” in paras. 5.10.1. and 5.10.2.
• para. 6.2.9. and related subsequent paragraphs to clarify the application of the 2000 lumen criteria
• para. 6.26.9.2. to correct a cross-reference with UN R23.
