Correction of an editorial error in Supplement 7 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation 48.

WP.29 Session 155 adopted Supplement 3 to the 03 series of amendments to UN R19, which automatically also applies to the 04 series. However, the photometric table of para. 6.4.3 approved in the 03 series differs from that of the 04 series. Therefore, GTB proposes a correction to the 04 series.

The GTB believes the Data Exchange for Type Approvals (DETA) system will enhance and simplify the current lighting approval markings. The GTB, however, recommends resolving questions concerning DETA administration, financing and try-out before further steps towards implementation.

During the preparation of the proposal in GRE/2012/7 to update the definition of “type”, the corresponding amendment to Regulation No. 31 was unintentionally omitted. This addendum completes the collective amendment.

The Forum adopted a new UN Regulation on LED light sources at its March 2012 session. This document updates the collective amendment that introduces LED light sources into the relevant UN Regulations 4, 6, 7, 23, 38, 50, 77, 87, 91 and 119.

Proposal from the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) to delete the 1 candela requirement for geometric visibility. In the original document, the strikethrough proposed for the contents of paragraph 6.2.5 was omitted. This document corrects that omission.

GTB proposal to amend the geometric visibility provisions. Subsequent to the preparation of the proposed amendments in document GRE/2012/42, several editorial corrections have been identified by GTB experts. This document replaces that original submission.

GRE/2012/42 is a GTB proposal to amend the geometric visibility provisions. This document corrects GRE/2012/42 in line with the latest state of the subject regulations including amendments submitted for consideration at the November WP.29 session.

This document contains editorial corrections to document GRE/2012/42 to amend the geometric visibility provisions of Regulations No. 3, 6, 7, 48, 77 and 91 following a review with the GRE secretariat to ensure that the proposal aligns with the latest state of the regulations.

Correction to the proposal from Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) to revise paragraph 5.23 to clarify the requirements on the replacement of light sources approved according to UN R37.

During the 64th GRE session, GTB was charged to review and update the transitional provisions of Regulation 48. This draft proposal has been developed by the GTB Installation Working Group in close cooperation with OICA.

This discussion document has been prepared to provide more explanation of the initial proposal submitted by GTB to WP29 at its 157th session in June 2012 (WP29-157-12 and now transformed as ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2012/119 for WP29-158 ).

GRE/2012/26 is a proposal from the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) to update provisions on heat resistance tests. This correction from GTB provides an improved justification for the proposed amendments.

Document GRE/2012/39 ( a proposal to introduce interdependent lamps (“Y” Lamps) into UN R87) did not take into account document WP.29/2012/78 submitted for adoption by WP.29 at its 158th (November 2012) session. Therefore, GTB proposes this new document to replace GRE/2012/39.

GRE/2012/40 is a proposal from the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) introducing a new category LW2 into the new draft Regulation for LED light sources [UN R127] and introducing some editorial amendments to the existing text. GTB proposes this correction to better align its wording with UN R37.
