Pursuant to item 5(f) of GRE-69, the GTB proposal (GRE/2013/5) to cease issuing type approvals under UN R5 and R31 was approved.

This prompted proposals to look for similar references in UN R53, R74 and R86. No references to UN R31 were found, but references to similarly ‘frozen’ regulations (UN R1, R8, R20, R56, R57, R72, R76 and R82) were found.

The present document proposes to delete these obsolete references in UN R53 and R74.

Text prepared by Italy to delete all obsolete references in Regulations Nos. 53 and 74 in order to avoid confusion and possible incorrect application of the requirements containing these references. The deletions cover references to Regulations Nos. 1, 8, 20, 56, 57, 72, 76 and 82. These regulations have all been “frozen” (i.e., they do not apply to new type approvals) and their functions have been taken over by Regulations Nos. 112 and 113.

Changes to the proposal to introduce LED light sources into the lighting installation Regulations Nos. 48, 53, 74 and 86.
