Proposed transitional provisions to end further development of current UN lighting regulations in favor of the new UN Regulations on light-signalling devices (LSD), road illumination devices (RID), and retro-reflecting devices (RRD) developed under the Simplification of Lighting Regulations (SLR) program.

Request to GRE and the SLR informal group to give consideration to transitional provisions.

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).

SLR informal group removing the brackets around (i.e., confirming) the 24-month transition period for the switch to approvals only under the new LSD, RRD, and RID regulations and to delete the proposal that approvals and extensions of approvals granted under each regulation would remain valid indefinitely.

Recent amendments to the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108 allows UN Regulation
headlamps to be used on vehicles in Canada. CMVSS 108 specifically refers to the existing UN Regulations. In order to continue the acceptance of headlamps compliant with UN Regulations in Canada after the switch to the new Road Illumination Devices (RID) regulation, the current regulations should make clear references to RID before they are frozen and superseded.

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.
