Proposal that would align provisions in UN R48 with those of UN R121 (vehicle controlrs, telltales and indicators) with regard to the hazard warning telltale (para. 6.6.8.).

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.

Proposal to extend the modifications that introduced provisions for interdependent direction indicator lamps in the 06 series of amendments to UN R48 to the 04 and 05 series in order to avoid an unjustified design restriction for approvals under the earlier versions of the regulation.

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 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 enable the use of alternate colors (per footnote 18 of Table 1 and in line with ISO Standard 2575) for certain lighting tell-tales in order to indicate light source failures in response to the proposals for light failure indicators under UN Regulations Nos. 7, 48 and 87 (GRE/2016/7, GRE/2016/12 and GRE/2016/17) as adopted by GRE. This proposal anticipates use of the same approach in response to plans for additional failure indication requirements for other lighting regulations.

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 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 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.

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

Draft proposal to amend provisions on “work lamps”.

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

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.
