Text prepared by the Netherlands and the United Kingdom in response to the proposal (document GRE/2013/14) from France and Germany to implement provisions concerning direction indicator lamps with spatial variation of the intensity within UN Regulation No. 48.

Proposal to introduce the following into Regulation No. 48:
a) General definition of ‘tell-tale’, as also currently defined in Regulation No. 121;
b) Requirement that the specifications of the tell-tale (location, identification, symbol, illumination and colour) shall meet the relevant requirements of Regulation No. 121;
c) Provision that tell-tales shall always provide an optical signal, thus aligning with Regulation No. 121; however, it is suggested to allow additional signals (auditory or any equivalent signal);
d) New definition of a ‘failure tell-tale’ and stating the mandatory presence of such tell-tale for the daytime running lamp in certain cases;
e) Editorial changes clarifying the situation for a few other cases in Regulation No. 48, where apparently also a ‘failure tell-tale’ was meant.

Revised proposal to introduce the following into Regulation No. 48: a) General definition of ‘tell-tale’, as also currently defined in Regulation No. 121; b) Requirement that the specifications of the tell-tale (location, identification, symbol, illumination and colour) shall meet the relevant requirements of Regulation No. 121; c) Provision that tell-tales shall always provide an optical signal, thus aligning with Regulation No. 121; however, it is suggested to allow additional signals (auditory or any equivalent signal); d) New definition of a ‘failure tell-tale’ and stating the mandatory presence of such tell-tale for the daytime running lamp in certain cases; e) Editorial changes clarifying the situation for a few other cases in Regulation No. 48, where apparently also a ‘failure tell-tale’ was meant.

Given the mandatory requirement for a daylight running lamp tell-tale, this proposal replaces the word “operating” with the word “failure” in describing the failure tell-tale of paragraph 7.4.2.(b). This proposal complements the similar proposal for Regulation No. 48 contained in informal document GRE-70-09.

Proposal to clarify that in the case of a stop lamp, the failure indicator of paragraph 6.1.7.2. is a “failure tell-tale” rather than an “operating tell-tale”. This proposal complements the similar proposal for Regulation No. 48 contained in informal document GRE-70-09.

Clarification of the proposal to introduce requirements to avoid intentional non-approved (voltage) variation of the principal passing beam, using halogen light sources and to harmonize them with the operating voltage requirements in UN Regulation No. 48

Discussion document on tell-tale requirements in Regulation No. 48 versus Regulation No. 121 and consideration of establishing a task force to further discuss the issues involved. Pursuant to discussions at the previous two GRE sessions concerning the use of the term “failure tell-tale” in relation to daytime running lamps and adaptive front lighting systems (AFS) in UN R48 and the potential impact on UN R121 concerning the “location and identification of hand controls, tell-tales and indicators”, the Netherlands proposes the formation of a special task force to study the issues and propose draft amendments for lighting regulations as warranted.

Document GRE/2013/62 concerning electronic light source control gear proposed to introduce requirements to avoid intentional non-approved (voltage) variation of the principal passing beam using halogen light sources and to harmonize them with the operating voltage requirements in UN Regulation No. 48. The objective of this proposal is to restrict the voltage at headlamps equipped with (halogen) filament lamp light sources in order to avoid excessively high or low (semi-) permanent luminous intensity of the headlamp and consequently shorter lifetime of the halogen light source. This submission takes into account the positions presented in documents GRE/2013/44, GRE/2013/62, GRE-70-17, and GRE-70-34.

Document GRE/2014/31 proposes to introduce requirements to avoid intentional non-approved (voltage) variation of the passing and driving beam, using halogen light sources and to harmonize it with the operating voltage requirements in Regulation No. 48. This correction seeks to improve the text by replacing the “about value” for the reference luminous flux with the exact value of 13.2V and to simplify the C.o.P. procedure.

Discussion document from the Netherlands and Italy to serve presenting potential new requirements for headlamp levelling, in particular regarding the vertical inclination in relation to the dipped-beam headlamp mounting height. The proposal is based on the original proposal of the Informal Working Group on Visibility, Glare and Levelling (VGL) (informal documents GRE-78-23-Rev.1, GRE-78-32, GRE-78-36) and discussions during the GRE 78th session.

Proposal to delete provisions concerning use of the Unique Identifier pursuant to the WP.29 decision to change the approach to its application from use “by default” to use if specified in each regulation.

Proposal to delete provisions concerning the Unique Identifier pursuant to the WP.29 to replace its application “by default” by application if specific by the regulation.

Proposal to delete provisions concerning the Unique Identifier pursuant to the WP.29 decisions to changes its application from “by default” to if specified by the regulation.

Proposal for a supplement to the 06/07/08/09 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48 and the 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 148 concerning manufacturer logos in side-marker lamps. The proposal amends paragraph 5.5.5. of UN R48 to clarify that no restrictions apply to logos in side-marker lamps, and amends paragraph 4.5.5. of UN R148 to add side-marker lamps to the list of lamps that shall not incorporate a logo. The justification references ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2020/5/Rev.2.

Proposal from the Netherlands and the United Kingdom to further clarify the test conditions for the requirements on the sensitivity of the sensor system for automatic/adaptive driving beam, revising document GRE/2012/22.

Proposal from the Netherlands to clarify the requirements for the mandatory manual override of the automatic/adaptive driving beam (ADB) function, revising document GRE/2012/23 from the last GRE session.

Submitted by the Netherlands to introduce a mandatory requirement for fitting an operating tell-tale on the daytime running lamp, in case the failure provision (for the light sources) according to paragraph 7.4.2.(b) of UN Regulation No. 87 is applied.

Text prepared by the Netherlands to harmonize the general wording used in the communication form with the corresponding wording in Regulation No. 7.

Proposal to introduce requirements to avoid intentional non-approved (voltage) variation of the passing and driving beam, using halogen light sources and to harmonize it with the operating voltage requirements in Regulation No. 48.

Proposal to require the installation of direction indicator lamps on mopeds.

Proposal to require installation of direction indicators on mopeds.

Proposal to require installation of direction indicators on mopeds.

Proposal to require that the vehicle manufacturer’s statement regarding frequency bands, power levels, antenna positions and installation provisions for the installation of radio frequency transmitters (RF-transmitters) be added to the information document (e.g. under item 63, Annex 2A) to facilitate conformity of production and other compliance checks.

Proposal to amend para. 4.5.5.(d) to clarify that stop lamps, direction indicator lamps, reversing lamps and side-marker lamps shall not incorporate a manufacturer logo. The amendment addresses an unintended gap in the regulations whereby side-marker lamps could theoretically be approved with a manufacturer logo, whereas it had never been the intention of GRE to allow side-marker lamps with a manufacturer logo. Contracting Parties agreed during the April 2026 session that an amendment to clarify this would be appropriate.

The Netherlands proposes to initiate a working group with the aim to develop harmonized quality criteria and a type approval scheme, which would be acceptable as an alternative for existing retrofit schemes, and which could be used by countries all over the world considering to introduce retrofitting of existing diesel engines with particulate traps.
