Proposal to clarify that IWVTA-aproved vehicles remain subject to any additional national or regional requirements that may apply within a given market.

Draft regulation prepared for consideration during the 21st IWVTA SGR0 session and incorporating proposed revisions concerning “IWVTA class/vehicle type” from the European Commission.

Proposal to improve the document GRE/2018/11 (GRE-79-31) and to introduce in R48-06 new minimum installation requirements for type approved lighting and light-signalling devices and to improve the transitional provisions for Regulations Nos. 3, 4, 6, 7, 19, 23, 27, 38, 50, 69, 70, 77, 87, 91, 98, 104, 112, 113, 119 and 123. Proposal for new minimum installation requirements for type approved lighting and light-signalling devices in R48-06. Proposal to clarify which devices may be installed on the vehicles in line with the applicable requirements as amended by the new UN Regulations on light-signalling devices, road illumination devices, and retro-reflecting devices.

Following a request from the European Commission, the Scientific Committee on Health, Environmental and Emerging Risks (SCHEER) reviewed recent evidence to assess potential risks to human health posed by Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) emissions. The review of the published research conducted by the SCHEER has led to valuable conclusions and identified certain gaps in knowledge on potential risks to human health. The Committee concluded that there is no evidence of direct adverse health effects from
LEDs emission in normal use (lamps and displays) by the general healthy population.

SLR will deliver Stage 2/Step 2 to GRE-96 by end of January 2027 for submission to WP.29 in November 2027. SLR’s mandate ends December 2027. A new informal working group on Supporting technical experts on Lighting Regulation (SteLR) will be established, chaired by EC and vice-chaired by Germany, to address remaining open points from SLR and TF-GP. Main topics include visibility of signalling functions, glare prevention, apparent surface, energy saving, replaceability and sustainability, and V2X communication.

The document establishes procedures for demonstrating equivalence between vehicle circuit and indoor drum test facilities. It defines requirements for selecting exercise tyres and participating facilities, establishing baseline values from multiple facilities, and comparing facility results against baselines. For indoor drum facilities, transfer functions mathematically relate drum results to vehicle results, either as generic (fixed coefficient) or specific (facility-determined coefficient). Facilities must meet statistical criteria including result deviation limits and root mean square deviation thresholds to demonstrate equivalence.
