Proposal that would delete references to ‘retro-reflecting devices’ purusant to a decision of the Working Party on Lighting and clarify that testing of capabilities to detect and react to retro-reflecting devices is not required.

Proposal from Japan, based upon the request from OICA and superceding document GRE/2012/14, to clarify the “fixed position of a movable component”.

Proposal from Japan, pursuant to GRE deliberations, to delete mandatory installation of sensors for the adaptive main beam and Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) to detect and react to retro-reflecting devices.

Proposal from Japan to extend the Regulation No. 48 type approval that will be a part of the IWVTA system to more countries and vehicles, following document WP.29-156-21-Rev.1. Japan examined R48 according to the IWVTA guidelines (WP.29-156-21-Rev.1, page 2: "(ii) whether amendments of the said UN Regulation is necessary or not (Some requirements should be converted into “If fitted” category.)" and found some devices that could be converted from “mandatory” to “optional”, including daytime running lamps, rear fog lamps and headlamp cleaners.

Japan submitted a proposal (GRE-69-24) to extend the Regulation No. 48 type approval that will be a part of the IWVTA system to more countries and vehicles. This document supplements that proposal.

Document GRE/2014/13 proposes to ensure that the introduction of the new class F marking materials does not conflict with the mandatory requirements for existing class C materials. The addition of Class F brings markings required under certain countries’ national legislation within the UN regulatory system. However, Japan actually prohibits the use of white retro-reflective markings on the rear of vehicles. Therefore, Japan proposes the addition of a footnote confirming the right of Contracting Parties to prohibit the use of Class F markings under national legislation.

Proposal to reduce glare problems for drivers by deleting the exemption in Regulation No. 48 that allows manual leveling for dipped-beam headlamps, effectively mandating automatic leveling.

Report raising concerns over the verification of compliance with lighting installation requirements under whole vehicle approval.

Proposal to:

1. delete paragraphs 6.2.7.6.2. to 6.2.7.6.3.2. concerning transitional provisions for the 05 series of amendments,
2. to clarify that drivers may not switch OFF the dipped-beam headlamps manually when they are switched ON automatically according to paragraph 6.2.7.6.1., and
3. to clarify that daytime running lamps shall not be switched OFF except as specified in paragraphs 6.19.7.1. to 6.19.7.6. (For example, DRLs shall not be switched OFF when only the position lamps are ON.).

Proposal to clarify that dipped-beam headlamps may not be switched OFF manually when they have been switched ON automatically according to paragraph 6.2.7.5., except in the case specified in paragraph 6.2.7.5.1. Manual switching OFF of headlamps at night should be limited to exceptional cases specified in the regulation. This proposal clarifies that daytime running lamps shall not be switched OFF except as specified in paragraphs 6.19.7.1. to 6.19.7.6.

Japan proposals, modified pursuant to discussions during the 79th GRE session, to improve human-machine interfaces and otherwise clarify elements in the Headlamp Switching Task Force proposal for the electrical connections of headlamps, daytime running lamps, and related lighting devices (documents GRE/2018/20 and GRE-78-21/Rev.1).

European Commission and Japan joint position on the Task Force on Headlamp Switching (TFHS) proposal to introduce updated requirements for headlamps and daytime running lamps.

Proposal to clarify the conditions under which the vehicles may circulate with the dipped beam headlamps switched OFF.

Japan basically agrees with the proposal made by Germany but considers that certain points need clarification.

Japan proposal for the SLR ad hoc session on headlamp leveling.

Proposal to minimize hazards to other traffic users such as glare and distraction by expanding the scope of the vehicle’s conditions subject to technical requirements under “normal conditions of use” (para. 5.1.), including use of lighting when parked or engine stopped.

Proposal to define the parking condition in the scope of UN R48 and to minimize hazards such as glare and distraction to other road users.

3. Trigger requirements for Answer-back signal
4. Provision for operating conditions of the Lamp test mode
5. Other modifications which OICA has proposed in SIG-08-03, especially Alternative points.
