16. GRE was informed about the progress of the Task Force on Substitutes and Retrofits (TF SR) (GRE-80-23). GRE noted that TF SR had prepared proposals on the use of light emitting diode (LED) substitute light sources for light-signalling applications (see below) and would continue with LED substitutes for front-lighting applications.

17. On behalf of TF SR, the expert from Germany introduced amendment proposals to UN Regulation No. 128 for the use of LED substitute light sources (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2018/39) as well as corresponding amendments to the Consolidated Resolution on the common specification of light source categories (R.E.5) (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2018/40). GRE adopted the proposals and requested the secretariat to submit them to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2019 sessions as draft Supplement 9 to the original version of UN Regulation No. 128 and as draft amendment 3 to R.E.5. GRE noted that both amendments are part of the same package and should enter into force on the same date.

Proposal to introduce requirements and test specifications for light emitting diodes (LED) substitute light sources, including to - introduce provisions for LED substitute light sources into Regulation No. 128;
- introduce a new category sheet PY21W/LED based on LED technology into the Consolidated Resolution (R.E.5);
- establish equivalence criteria as guidance for specifying sheets for LED substitute light source categories. (These guidelines are intended for publication, with the agreement of GRE, on the GRE website under “reference documents”, similar to criteria for new filament light sources for head lighting (GRE-77-04). In addition, these criteria are being prepared for insertion in publication IEC 60810.);
- a draft proposal to IEC concerning the cap/holder system of the LED light source category PY21W/LED, for information to GRE (GRE-80-03) only, to show the interlock feature and the differences with the cap/holder system of its counterpart filament light source category PY21W.

18. To introduce requirements for LED substitute light sources in the installation UN Regulations, the expert from Germany presented collective amendments to UN Regulations Nos. 48, 53, 74 and 86 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2018/41). The expert from OICA submitted comments (GRE-80-19). GRE adopted the proposals unamended and requested the secretariat to submit them to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their June 2019 sessions as draft Supplement 12 to the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48, draft Supplement 4 to the 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 53, draft Supplement 11 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 74 and draft Supplement 2 to the 01 series of amendments of UN Regulation No. 86.

19. The expert from Germany also introduced equivalence criteria for LED substitute light source categories which substitute the corresponding filament light source categories (GRE-80-02), as well as the interlock solution, for the BA15-cap system developed by IEC (GRE-80-03). GRE decided to keep GRE-80-02 as a reference document and took note of GRE-80-03.

GRE and its Task Force on Substitutes and Retrofits proposed and GRE at its 79th session agreed to include an “interlock feature” for LED substitute light sources to prevent the misuse of these light sources. The first LED substitute category proposal is the “PY21W/LED”. A further solution has been developed by IEC cap-holder experts in IEC TC34/SC34B/WG2 by adding a “third pin” at an angle of 110° (from the reference pin) for the BA15 cap system, including the BAU15s cap prescribed for the PY21W filament light source category. This document contains the relevant cap and holder sheets for implementation in the IEC 60061 structure.

20. GRE also considered a parallel proposal by TF SR which introduced requirements for the use of LED substitute light sources in the new LSD UN Regulation (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2018/42). GRE adopted the proposal, as amended by Annex III, and requested the secretariat to submit them to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their June 2019 sessions.

Proposal to introduce the following changes into the draft new Regulation on light-signalling devices: - Use of LED substitute light source(s) is allowed and does not constitute a change of the lamp type. However, lamp performances shall be tested during type approval also with the LED substitute light source. Approval of the lamp using filament light source(s) is a prerequisite for approval of the lamp using LED substitute light source(s).
- Testing with LED substitute light sources is exempted from conformity of production control.
- The technical description shall include notice that the lamp also has to be approved with the LED substitute light source(s) according to UN R128 if the applicant has so determined.
- The approval marking or the Unique Identifier as well as the category or categories of LED substitute light source(s) prescribed, if any, shall be visible.
- The indication of both the holder of the filament light source and of its LED counterpart light source, if any, shall be explicitly provided.

21. The expert of SAE delivered a presentation on standardization of technical requirements for forward lighting LED replacement light sources (GRE-80-34) and offered to organize a live demonstration at the next session of GRE. The expert from FIA highlighted the advantages of using LED retrofits for front lighting application of vehicles in use and argued in favour of developing regulations in this area (GRE-80-33). He suggested that TF SR should prepare proposals. In this regard, some GRE experts expressed doubts whether this issue could be solved by UN Regulations and felt that it should be treated within national law. Those experts were also of the view that TF SR should finalize LED substitutes for front-lighting applications and then stop its activities without addressing LED retrofits. GRE decided to revert to this discussion at the next session and requested TF SR to continue its work in the interim.

22. The expert of GTB introduced amendment proposals that modified light source category LR4 in UN Regulation No. 128 and in the Consolidated Resolution R.E.5 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2018/48, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2018/49 and Add.1). GRE adopted the proposals and requested the secretariat to submit them to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2019 sessions as draft Supplement 9 to the original version of UN Regulation No. 128 and draft amendment 3 to R.E.5. GRE noted that both amendments are part of the same package and should enter into force on the same date.

Proposal to amend the light source category LR4. This proposal relates to document GRE/2018/49 proposing to amend UN R128 in relation to the 1 min/30 min ratio. The change to UN R128 would affect the requirements of the LR4 category which is not its intention. Therefore, the present proposal modifies the category sheet of LR4 in order to maintain the current requirements for the LR4 standard light sources.

Reference Number: GRE/2018/49

The current text of UN R128, Annex 4, paragraph 1.2. allows only for a decrease of luminous flux from 1 minute to 30 minutes. This has proven to be unnecessarily design restrictive as the drive electronics in a stabilized light source can lead to a slight increase in the luminous flux from 1 minute to 30 minutes. Therefore, this proposal would allow a limited increase of luminous flux from 1 minute to 30 minutes within the given minimum and maximum requirements. This proposal relates to document GRE/2018/48 retaining requirements for LR4 category light sources which would otherwise have been impacted by the present proposal.
