Updates to UN R99 tables concerning certain references to International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) publications. The text is based upon UN R99 up to and including draft Supplement 7 (document WP.29/2011/101).

Submission by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to clarify provisions in UN R37: Revision 6, to amend data in draft Supplement 39 (WP.29/2012/09) and to correct data in the proposal by GTB document GRE/2012/02.

IEC has serious concerns with the proposal to clarify the conditions under which voltage control gear may be used in conjunction with filament light sources because halogen filament light sources should not be operated permanently outside the specifications, at a too low or at too high voltage.

IEC response to the GTB proposal to define the conditions under which voltage control gear may be used in conjunction with filament light sources.

Update by the IEC of the German proposal for revisions to IEC 60809 and 60810 in accordance with UN Regulations for signalling devices to address risks in the use of low-quality non-replaceable filament lamps.

Update by the IEC of the German proposal for revisions to align IEC 60809 and 60810 with UN Regulations for signalling devices to address risks in the use of low-quality non-replaceable filament lamps.

Submission from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to correct the omission of the letter “q” from the cap designation of category PR27/7W in Regulation No. 37.

This is a generic proposal to require approval according to a light source
regulation prior to an application for approval under UN R10. It appears that LED retrofit light sources are offered to the market with Regulation No. 10 approval only where they should also be subject to the new UN R127.

Text prepared by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in order to amend data in draft Supplement 40 (WP.29/2012/70) and draft Supplement 41 (WP.29/2013/17).

Comments from IEC on the informal document GRE-69-15/Rev.1 (“Priority of Discussion on Technical Requirements for IWVTA and Draft Report to IWVTA Informal Meeting”)

Proposal to clarify and reinsert provisions concerning the approval of electronic/electrical subassemblies related to lighting devices within the proposal to extend the scope of UN R10 to all power train systems above a certain working voltage level when they are in charging mode and and including type approval of separate electrical components for the “REESS charging mode coupled to power grid” configuration.

[Note: Document GRE/2013/41 has been superseded by document GRE-70-14.]

Draft for consideration for the electric vehicle safety GTR.

Proposal to improve the clarifications proposed regarding the requirements to avoid intentional non-approved (voltage) variation of the principal passing beam, using halogen light sources and to harmonize them with the operating voltage requirements in UN Regulation No. 48

Proposal to insert the IEC cap sheet numbers assigned for the new light categories WT21W, WTY21W, WT21/7W and WTY21/7W.

Proposal to insert the IEC cap sheet number for the new light category LW2 into the regulation.

Document GRE/2013/62 concerning electronic light source control gear proposed to introduce requirements to avoid intentional non-approved (voltage) variation of the principal passing beam using halogen light sources and to harmonize them with the operating voltage requirements in UN Regulation No. 48. The objective of this proposal is to restrict the voltage at headlamps equipped with (halogen) filament lamp light sources in order to avoid excessively high or low (semi-) permanent luminous intensity of the headlamp and consequently shorter lifetime of the halogen light source. This submission takes into account the positions presented in documents GRE/2013/44, GRE/2013/62, GRE-70-17, and GRE-70-34.

Proposal to introduce requirements to avoid intentional non-approved (voltage) variation of the passing and driving beam, using halogen light sources and to harmonize it with the operating voltage requirements in Regulation No. 48.

Comments on the proposed mandate for the SLR informal group.

Documents GRE/2014/20, GRE/2014/24 and GRE/2014/29 propose to add light categories to UN Regulation Nos. 37, 99, and 128; however, since the amendment or extension of an IEC60061 cap sheet results in a change to the sequence number of the sheet, all light source category sheets that refer to that IEC sheet need an update. Therefore, the IEC proposes the necessary changes to the text of the above proposals.

Document GRE/2014/31 proposes to introduce requirements to avoid intentional non-approved (voltage) variation of the passing and driving beam, using halogen light sources and to harmonize it with the operating voltage requirements in Regulation No. 48. This correction seeks to improve the text by replacing the “about value” for the reference luminous flux with the exact value of 13.2V and to simplify the C.o.P. procedure.

Proposal for a resolution to simplify the content and procedures of the light source regulations (UN Regulations Nos. 37, 99, and 128)..

Fine-tuning of the documents based upon agreements on the removal of brackets around previously unconfirmed text and open issue on dates of entry-into-force of the proposals for the simplification of lighting regulations.

Amendments to the proposed text (SLR-07-11) on light sources (filament lamp, gas discharge, and LED) under the restructuring to simplify lighting regulations.

Proposal to correct HIR2 headlamp data.

Amended version of the proposal to GRE to introduce requirements and test specifications for light emitting diodes (LED) substitute light sources under UN R128.

Revised proposal to introduce new light-emitting diode (LED) substitute light source categories C5W/LED, PY21W/LED and R5W/LED.

Revision of the proposal to introduce provisions for substitute light sources into the draft new Regulation on light-signalling devices.

Review prepared by the Task force on Substitute and Retrofit Light Sources chair.

A general reference to the definitions in R.E.5 is inserted in 2.1 and a specific reference to the definition of the “AE device” in R.E.5 is inserted in 2.2.2.2.2.b., in order to explain the term “AE device” where it first appears in the body text.
