UN R48: Proposal for Supplement 8 to the 07 series of amendments
Proposal to:
Align the requirements in UN R48 with updated requirements in UN R149 (e.g., require the communication form to indicate whether the total objective luminous flux of one or more light source(s) or light source module(s) for a dipped beam exceeds 2,000 lumens)
Replace the term “LED module” with “Light source module” and modify wording to adapt to the introduction of “matched pair” requirements for headlamps and AFS
Align the requirements for off-road vehicles passing-beam vertical inclination between the 06, 07, 08 series and the 09 series of amendments to UN R48
Allow the projection of a pattern for predicted trajectory
Amend failure detection and signalisation requirements to reflect technological progress in multiple light sources.
This proposal (WP.29/2025/34) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-four Contracting Parties out of the 52 applying UN R48 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-four voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
