Proposal to introduce “interdependent lamps” into Regulation No. 6, taking into account the function of direction indicators as hazard warning signals, and to introduce provisions for direction indicator lamps with variable apparent surfaces.

In a letter to Mssrs. Gauvin and Ramos, the European Commission, pursuant to concerns raised in its Technical Committee Motor Vehicles, raises issues with two paragraphs that are reproduced in a number of GRE proposals set for consideration at the November WP.29. The EU, therefore, cannot vote to adopt the proposals until these concerns have been addressed (i.e., for the March 2014 session).

Revisions to the GRE proposal (document WP.29/2013/69) to insert provisions for the use of incandescent light sources in the case of light source modules and lamps with non-replaceable light sources and to update the Conformity of Production requirements (CoP). This proposal also applies to documents:
WP.29/2013/71,
WP.29/2013/72,
WP.29/2013/76,
WP.29/2013/79,

WP.29/2013/88,
WP.29/2013/89 and
WP.29/2013/94.
