Proposal to amend the provisions concerning the heat test requirements for conformity of production.

[Proposal adopted.]

Proposal to update the photometric test requirements for type approval of the AFS driving beam and to correct the text by replacing the erroneous use of the term “principal passing beam” with the correct term “class C (basic) passing beam”.

Proposal as approved by the GRE to simplify measuring the objective luminous flux of light emitting diode (LED) module(s), correct the ultraviolet (UV) table, and to replace the current variety of test mixtures used to simulate dirt during the testing of lamps with a single uniform mixture. In addition, the proposal would replace the term “beech wood” with the phrase “produced from beech wood” to improve clarity.

Proposal to:

1. reference the compliance requirements for installation contained in Regulations Nos. 48, 53, 72 and 86,
2. clarify the definition of “type”, with regard to manufacturer, trade names and marks,
3. introduce editorial improvements to the requirements for markings,
4. amend the formula for the dirt mixture used in testing to address an error introduced by Supplement 9 to the 01 series of amendments to UN R45,
5. remove the HV measurement point from the photometric stability requirements for the passing beam (the HV measurement point remains a valid for the driving beam),
6. correct the omission of certain changes from E_max to I_max from the 01 series of amendments that converted the photometric requirements from illuminance E (lux) to luminous intensities I (cd),
7. amend Annex 3, Table 2 to allow sub-classes of Class C to lower the cut-off position to allow for adjustment during foggy road conditions,
8. clarify the test cycle with regard to the stability of photometric performance during the heat test, with particular reference to the movement of the cut-off line, and
9. harmonize related requirements across Regulations Nos. 19, 98, 112, 113 and 123.

Proposal to clarify the requirements for light sources in the lighting and light-signalling Regulations listed in Annex 4 to Regulation No. 0 on the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA).

Proposal from GRE to introduce transitional provisions for the phasing out of UN R123 in conjunction with the introduction of the new UN Regulation on Road Illumination Devices (RID).

112. The Chair of GRE presented amendment proposal contained in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2018/91/Rev.1 to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2018/119/Rev.1, under agenda items 4.11.4 to 4.11.32, to amend UN Regulations Nos. 3, 4, 6, 7, 19, 23, 27, 38, 48, 50, 53, 69, 70, 74, 77, 86, 87, 91, 98, 104, 112, 113, 119 and 123. WP.29 noted that these proposals had been the result of intensive work of GRE and its IWG on Simplification of Lighting and Light-Signalling Regulations, as well as that further intensive work by the groups was expected towards finalizing the process of simplification of the relevant UN Regulations. The World Forum recommended their submission to AC.1 for voting, subject to the following modification to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2018/105 (Proposal for Supplement 20 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 53), agenda item 4.11.18:

Paragraph 6.2.1.2. (a), replace “Class D or E of UN Regulation No. 113” by “Class B, D or E of UN Regulation No. 113”.

Proposal to make explicit reference to UN R149 (Road Illumination Devices) in order to enable the continued acceptance of headlamps compliant with UN Regulations under Canada’s CMVSS 108.

Proposal to correct errors identified in UN R123 during the transposition of its provisions into UN R149.
