Proposed modifications to the German proposal (GRE/2012/20) to ensure that non-replaceable and unapproved filament light sources used in sealed devices and in (filament) light-source modules have a sufficient lifetime and fulfill color endurance verification.

Italy proposes to introduce into each Regulation dealing with the type approval of lighting or light signalling devices a direct reference to the requirements contained in Regulations 48, 53 and 74, and 86, mandating the lamp manufacturers to apply them to obtain type approvals.

Proposal to reference the requirements for installation contained in Regulations Nos. 48, 53, 72 and 86 into the Regulations 3, 4, 6, 7, 19, 23, 38, 50, 77, 87, 91, 98, 104, 112, 113, 119 and 123.

Editorial correction to the presentation of the collective amendments to selected lighting regulations proposed in document GRE/2013/55.

Proposal to reference the compliance requirements for installation contained in Regulations Nos. 48, 53, 72 and 86 into the Regulations 3, 4, 6, 7, 19, 23, 38, 50, 77, 87, 91, 98, 104, 112, 113, 119 and 123.

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.

a) Proposal to amend UN R48 to clarify the DRL switching-off conditions (also aligning them with the existing switching-off conditions for front position lamps reciprocally incorporated with DI) and/or light intensity reduction when DRL and DI are totally or partially reciprocally incorporated and when their distance is equal or less than 40 mm.
b) Proposal to introduce into UN R87 the possibility of a supplemental verification and certification of the “reduced luminous intensity”, fulfilling the pertinent requirements in Regulation No. 48.
