Revised proposal (removing the section on UN R48 and incorporating corrections noted in document GRE-76-07) to refine the requirements for lamps equipped with several light sources, including in systems fitted with an operating tell-tale that indicates the failure of any one of these light sources. In the case of failure of any one light source in a single lamp containing more than one light source, either the light intensity must comply with the minimum intensity required in the table of standard light distribution in space or, for lamps used in systems where a tell-tale indicates the failure of any one of the light sources, the light intensity in the axis of reference must be at least 50 per cent of the minimum intensity required. This collective amendment addresses Regulations Nos. 7, 23, 38, 77, 91 and 119. The proposals concerning UN R48 will be resubmitted for consideration during the 77th GRE session.

Correction to the proposal for a collective amendment to Regulations Nos. 7, 23, 38, 48, 77, 91 and 119. Since the cornering lamp projects a beam to the left and right of the reference axis, it is not relevant to check the photometric values in the reference axis (HV). Therefore, the test point at 2.5°D, 45°L or R shall be used.

Proposal developed by the GRE Task Force on Tell-tales and approved by the GRE to clarify that the use of lamps designed for only two light sources is restricted to vehicles fitted with a tell-tale that will indicate when any one of the two lights sources has failed.

The current requirements on light source failure in lamps equipped with multiple light sources differ across UN Regulations. GTB submitted and then withdrew a proposal to align these requirements (GRE/2016/13). This updated proposal improves upon the text of the previous proposal to refine the requirements for lamps equipped with several light sources, including in systems fitted with an operating tell-tale that indicates the failure of any one of these light sources. In the case of failure of any one light source in a single lamp containing more than one light source, either the light intensity must comply with the minimum intensity required in the table of standard light distribution in space or, for lamps used in systems where a tell-tale indicates the failure of any one of the light sources, the light intensity in the axis of reference must be at least 50 per cent of the minimum intensity required.

This proposal removes the requirement to indicate the rated wattage in the marking of lamps equipped with electronic light source control gear and/or non-replaceable light sources and/or light source module(s). From an electronic point of view, the information of the wattage brings no benefit and is confusing if the same module is used in different systems and at different wattages.

Proposal to align the text of paragraph 6.1.6. with the definition of “single lamp” introduced by document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2014/6 (Proposal for Supplement 14 to the 04 Series of amendments, Supplement 7 to the 05 Series of amendments and Supplement 5 to the 06 Series of amendments of Regulation No. 48). The reference to paragraph 4.2.2.6. in the header of the table in paragraph 6.1. is also corrected.

Supplement 11 to the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 7 introduced a new paragraph “0. SCOPE” that included vehicles of category “L”. This proposal corrects the title of the Regulation, removing the exception of motor cycles.

Proposal to enable the use of alternate colors (per footnote 18 of Table 1 and in line with ISO Standard 2575) for certain lighting tell-tales in order to indicate light source failures in response to the proposals for light failure indicators under UN Regulations Nos. 7, 48 and 87 (GRE/2016/7, GRE/2016/12 and GRE/2016/17) as adopted by GRE. This proposal anticipates use of the same approach in response to plans for additional failure indication requirements for other lighting regulations.

Communication to GRSG of work within GRE concerning electromagnetic compatibility provisions for trolley buses (UN R10 and UN R107) and on approval of amendments to UN R7, 87, and 48 concerning lighting failure indicators that may impact UN R121 on telltales and indicators.

Proposal to refine the requirements for lamps equipped with several light sources, including in systems fitted with an operating tell-tale that indicates the failure of any one of these light sources. In the case of failure of any one light source in a single lamp containing more than one light source, either the light intensity must comply with the minimum intensity required in the table of standard light distribution in space or, for lamps used in systems where a tell-tale indicates the failure of any one of the light sources, the light intensity in the axis of reference must be at least 50 per cent of the minimum intensity required.

Proposal to align the text in the header row of the table in paragraph 6.1 (light emitted by the lamps) with the definitions used in Regulation No. 48 for the installation of “single lamps”, “lamps marked D” and “interdependent lamps”.

Proposal from the Task Force on Tell-Tales to clarify the requirement for failure indicators.

Updated paper on the grouping of lighting regulations under one of three new regulations as follows:
Light Signaling Devices incorporating Regulations 4, 6, 7, 23, 38, 50, 77, 87, and 91
Forward Lighting Devices incorporating Regulations 19, 98, 112, [ 113 ], 119, and 123
Retro-Reflective Devices incorporating Regulations 3, 27, 69, 70, and 104
