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.
Simplification work on UN Regulation No. 86 addresses five pending points: the number of additional direction-indicator lamps allowed, geometric visibility of category 6 direction-indicator lamps, height for slow-moving vehicles marking plates set as low as possible above the ground but not less than 250 mm at the lower edge, position for slow-moving vehicles marking plates with regard to the vehicle median longitudinal plane, and speed for automatic activation of manoeuvring lamps proposed at 15 km/h as a compromise.
