36. At the request of WP.29 at its June 2017 session, GRE reviewed the Draft General Guidelines for United Nations regulatory procedures and transitional provisions in UN Regulations (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2017/107). In particular, GRE experts expressed various views on para. 6.1. on the application of additional national provisions for vehicle characteristics that were not covered by the scope of a UN Regulation. The Chair invited GRE experts to consider the Draft Guidelines and to submit their further comments, if any, to the secretariat and/or to IWG IWVTA as soon as possible.

|
Draft General Guidelines for United Nations regulatory procedures and transitional provisions in UN Regulations
|
|
Reference Number: WP.29/2017/107
|
|
Proposal from the IWVTA informal group to supersede the current guidelines for regulatory procedures and transitional provisions for UN Regulations (document WP.29/1044 and its Revision 1) with updated general guidelines for establishing or amending UN Regulations, including for the definition of scope, administrative and transitional provisions, use of alternative requirements, and cross-referencing with other regulations. This proposal aims to - Streamline future work without superseding provisions of the 1958 Agreement and the existing UN Regulations,
- Clarify rulemaking procedures pursuant to Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement, and
- Ensure “good regulatory practice” through clarifications to avoid divergence between the interpretation of Revision 3 and the application to UN Regulations.

37. GRE was informed that the Working Party on General Safety Provisions, at its recent session, had adopted amendment proposals on colours to Regulation No. 121 (Identification of controls, tell-tales and indicators) (GRSG-113-42 and GRSG-113-39). GRE supported the short-term solution proposed in GRSG-113-42 and noted that the long-term solution (GRSG-113-39) would be published as an official GRSG document and presented to GRE.

UN R121: Proposal for Supplement 10 to the original series of amendments and Supplement 2 to the 01 series of amendments
|
|
Reference Number: GRSG-113-39
|
|
Proposal to delete footnote 18 of Table 1 regarding telltale no. 1 (Master lighting switch) when it is combined with telltale no. 19 (Position, side marker, and/or end-outline marker lamps). The footnote is redundant and potentially confusing since UN R121 already refers to paragraph 5. of ISO 2575-2004 which states, “A given symbol may be shown in more than one of the colours specified in 5.1 in order to convey a change in the operating condition.”

39. Due to a lack of time, GRE was not in a position to consider GRE-78-03.
|
GRE-78-03 | Evocative, suggestive or figurative apparent surfaces
|
Evocative, suggestive or figurative apparent surfaces
|
|
Reference Number: GRE-78-03
|
|
Request for guidance regarding interpretation of UN lighting rules: - Is it allowed that the shape of the apparent surface can be the logo of the manufacturer brand or other brand-identifying figures?
- Is it allowed that the shape of the apparent surface can be the same as an evocative/suggestive figure? Even as an informative figure such as road traffic
signs? - Is the advertising lighting allowed at the national level in the Contracting parties, regarding to its influence on road safety and distraction?
- Do we have to consider an apparent surface, whose shape is the logo of a brand manufacturer or other brand-identifying figures, as a advertising lighting?
