Proposal to introduce provisions for “work lamps”.

Proposal is to define common rules while leaving the choice to
countries to adopt them or not. These rules must in particular make it possible to
automatically cut off the work lamps in circulation to avoid glare and make traffic
safer

Draft proposal to amend provisions on “work lamps”.

Proposal to add work lamp definitions and requirements to UN R48, minimum height of 250 mm above ground, downward orientation, and automatic deactivation within 1 second if vehicle speed exceeds 15 km/h. Work lamps require independent manual controls and a mandatory visual operating tell-tale. Annex 1 adds item 9.32. for work lamp approval documentation.

Text prepared by France and Germany to implement direction indicator lamps with a variable apparent surface into UN Regulation No. 6.

Text prepared by France and Germany to implement direction indicator lamps with spatial variation of the intensity into UN Regulation No. 48.

Proposal to amend UN R48 in order to enable type-approval of direction indicators with variable apparent surfaces.

Revised proposal from France and Germany to introduce provisions for direction indicator lamps with variable apparent surfaces. This document supersedes document GRE/2013/13.

Proposal to enable approval of Class B front fog lamp for replacement purposes only in the 04 series of amendments to UN R19 (as is currently the case for approvals under the 02 and O3 series).

Proposal to delete the requirement for automatic leveling devices for all headlamps with light emitting diode (LED) light sources based upon the results of a GTB study.

Proposal to delete the requirement that the total objective luminous flux of all LED modules producing the principal passing (main low) beam of a headlamp be greater than or equal to 1000 lumens because the requirement is design-restrictive, unnecessary given the objective criteria for luminous output and photometric grid points of the regulation, and obsolete given improvements in LED technologies.

Proposal to delete the requirement that the total objective luminous flux of all LED modules producing the principal passing (main low) beam of a headlamp be greater than or equal to 1000 lumens because the requirement is design-restrictive, unnecessary given the objective criteria for luminous output and photometric grid points of the regulation, and obsolete given improvements in LED technologies.

Proposal to delete the requirement for automatic leveling devices for all headlamps with light emitting diode (LED) light sources based upon the results of the GTB glare study. The proposal argues that the restriction discriminates against LED light sources based upon an erroneous understanding of light-source relevance to driver glare.

Proposal to delete the requirement that the total objective luminous flux of all LED modules producing the principal passing (main low) beam of a headlamp be greater than or equal to 1000 lumens because the requirement is design-restrictive, unnecessary given the objective criteria for luminous output and photometric grid points of the regulation, and obsolete given improvements in LED technologies.

Proposal to correct an inconsistency between the regulation text and Figure B of Annex 3.

Proposal to clarify the requirements of paragraph 5.26. for the variable luminous intensity of four different light signaling functions: rear direction indicator lamps of category 2b, rear position lamps of category R2, stop lamps of category S2,and rear fog lamps of category F2. The intent is to ensure that all the lamps maintain their proportionate relationships throughout the transitions in luminosity.

vary all together proportionally.

Proposal to allow under specified conditions the use of logos inside the illuminating surface of a signalling lamp.

Proposal to allow the use of logos inside the illuminating surface of a signalling lamp under certain conditions.

Proposal to allow the use of manufacturer logos in the internal structure of optical components and/or in the outer lens within the apparent surface of a signalling lamp.

Proposal to allow the use of manufacturer logos inside the illuminant surface of a signalling lamp.

Proposal to allow the use of manufacturer logos inside the illuminant surface of a signalling lamp.

Proposal is to define common rules while leaving the choice to countries to adopt them or not. These rules must in particular make it possible to automatically cut off the work lamps in circulation to avoid glare and make traffic safer.

Proposal to define and set requirements for “work lamps”.

Proposal to define “work lamps” and establish minimum specifications for safe use.

Proposal to correct inconsistencies in the time between the measurement of the end temperature and the end of the Type 1 test at 23°C for the ATCT family criterion check and in the f_jDyno force calculation.

Proposal to add assembly plant(s) to the approval information document.

Proposal to allow higher tolerance for pressure measurement under paragraphs 4.7 and 4.8 (+ aligned intake and exhaust) in order to avoid refusal of test due to the non-compliance of pressure accuracy and based on the low impact on the αd. Value or approach (linearity?) to be discussed.

Proposal based on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/14, as amended by Annex X of the report of the 83rd GRPE (Supplement 7 to the 06 series of amendments). Some modifications were not taken onboard in the 07 series of amendments (and Supplements 1, 2 and 3). For the remaining amendments included in this proposal, the justifications are:

1. UN R49 does not define linearity requirements for humidity sensors. As the humidity content of the intake air is an essential measure for the calculation of the specific exhaust emission, it is important to add requirement for humidity sensor. Reference: ISO 16183 the accuracy of the absolute humidity shall be +- 5%.
2. Typo error: the instrument should be now in NOx mode.
3. To clarify the operation procedure, make the text easier to be understood.

Remove references to footnotes that are non-existent.

Proposal to remove additions to non-existing part of the 06 series of amendments

Proposal to correct editorial errors to the text of Supplement 1 to the 05 series of amendments

Proposal to revise document GRRF/2012/5 concerning C1, C2, and C3 rim measurement, including the proposal of an Appendix 4.
