Overview of AFS development and characteristics.

Proposal to clarify the definitions of type with regard to manufacturer, trade names and marks.

Submission by the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) to clearly define the conditions under which voltage control gear may be used in conjunction with filament light sources.

Proposal prepared by the International Motor Vehicles Association (IMMA) and supported by the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) to introduce bend lighting for motorcycles.

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.

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

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.

Presentation requesting guidance over whether UN Regulations can address aftermarket lighting products, noting that Article 28 of the EU Framework Directive 2007/46/EC mandates that all products must comply with relevant regulatory requirements.

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.

Proposed changes to the SAE proposal (GRE/2011/48) to clarify requirements for the special warning lamp while allowing for harmonization with the requirements for emergency warning lamps as prescribed by SAE.

GTB perspectives on ways to simplify and streamline the complex body of lighting regulations in response to EU concerns expressed at the 156th WP.29 session.

GTB perspectives on the GRE proposal for Supplement 1 to the 05 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48.

Proposal to ensure that the signal requirements to indicate the activation of a failure tell-tale are not constrained to a particular type of light source. The current wording of UN R6 relates only to filament lamps; other light sources should be treated identically to avoid design restriction.

Proposal to align the cut-off requirements of UN R19 with UN R98 and R112 such that the cut-off quality (sharpness (G value) and linearity of the cut-off) are only assessed when the vertical adjustment cannot be performed repeatedly to the required position due to an unclear cut-off.

Proposal to amend the title of UN R31 by inserting “Halogen” and using the abbreviation “HSB” in order to distiguish the regulation from UN R5. In its justification, GTB also raises the “freezing” of both these regulations as they relate to outdated technologies for future consideration.

Proposal from the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) to introduce a new category of amber dual-filament light sources PY21/5W into UN R37.

Proposal from the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) to clarify color measurement requirements.

Proposal from the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) to update provisions on heat resistance tests.

Proposal from the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) to amend the requirements on light-source failures (paragraph 7.4. (“n-1 rule”)) in order to permit the introduction of new cost-efficient designs for daytime running lamps.

Proposal from the 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.

Proposal from the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) to delete the 1 candela requirement for geometric visibility.

Proposal from the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) to amend the geometric visibility provisions.

Proposal from the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) to amend the provisions concerning the requirements for geometric visibility of devices for adaptive rear lighting.

Proposal from the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) introducing a new category LW2 into the new draft Regulation for LED light sources ¹²⁷ and introducing some editorial amendments to the existing text.

Proposal from the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) to introduce interdependent lamps (“Y” Lamps) into the Regulation.

Introduction to GTB initial thoughts on restructuring UN lighting regulations to focus on performance requirements rather than on design and technical descriptions.

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.

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.

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 ).

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.

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.
