Text as adopted by the Working Party on Lighting and Light Signalling (GRE) at its 68th session concerning the requirements for geometric visibility of devices for adaptive rear lighting. It is based on documents GRE/2012, GRE/2012/42, both amended during the session.

This document contains editorial corrections to document GRE/2012/42 to amend the geometric visibility provisions of Regulations No. 3, 6, 7, 48, 77 and 91 following a review with the GRE secretariat to ensure that the proposal aligns with the latest state of the regulations.

Table showing the status of the revisions to selected UN Regulations, including the new UN R127 (LED lighting) and R128 (Pedestrian safety). Revisions consolidate and update regulations as a single text.

Additional supporting arguments for the proposal to modify the photometric performance requirements of front position lamps integrated with front fog lamps and of rear position lamps integrated with rear fog lamps (analogous to the treatment of position lamps integrated into headlamps).

GRE/2012/42 is a GTB proposal to amend the geometric visibility provisions. This document corrects GRE/2012/42 in line with the latest state of the subject regulations including amendments submitted for consideration at the November WP.29 session.

UN R7 has no requirements concerning changes in luminance of a lamp. Therefore, certain lamps which could not be installed in accordance with UN R48 could nonetheless obtain type approval and be sold in the aftermarket. This proposal would prevent such an occurrence.

Document GRE-68-02 from the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) proposes to amend the geometric visibility provisions of multiple lighting regulations. Since manufacturers have already developed lighting in line with the current definitions, OICA seeks a 48-month transition period.

Proposed modifications to the German proposal (GRE/2012/20) to ensure that non-replaceable and unapproved filament light sources used in sealed devices and in (filament) light-source modules have a sufficient lifetime and fulfill color endurance verification.
