Presentation on China’s development and simplification of lighting standards.

Proposal from the Simplification of Lighting Regulations informal group to introduce transitional provisions for the phasing out of the existing Regulations on lighting and light-signalling in conjunction with the introduction of three new simplified Regulations on Light-Signalling Devices (LSD), Road Illumination Devices (RID) and Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD).

Proposal as sent by the SLR informal group to GRE for its October 2017 session for transitional provisions for the phasing out of the current lighting regulations (in terms of continued development and granting of new type approvals) in favor of the new lighting device and related regulations.

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).

Collective amendment working draft to introduce the transitional provisions for the switch from the current lighting regulations to the new simplified lighting regulations (light-signalling, retro-reflective devices, and road illumination devices). The draft proposal would allow 24 months from the entry into effect of the new regulations.

Revised 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) pursuant to GRE-77 discussions.

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).

Proposals for amendments to Regulations Nos. 4, 6, 7, 19, 23, 38, 48, 50, 77, 87, 91, 98, 112, 113, 119, 123 to clarify requirements for light sources in lighting and light-signalling Regulations listed in Annex 4 to UN Regulation No. 0. The proposed UN R0 on whole vehicle type approval requires submission of approval certificates for components and systems. Vehicle manufacturers work directly with UN R48 approvals, but lamp and device approvals are generally handled by lighting suppliers. UN R48 includes provisions for listing approvals of lighting units, but not for approvals of light sources (presently UN R37, R99, and R128). This set of proposed amendments introduces provisions for light-source approvals under the device regulations.

Proposal to

1. reference the compliance requirements for installation contained in Regulations Nos. 48, 53, 72 and 86
2. complete the deletion of distributed lighting systems (light generators),
3. clarify the definition of “type”, with regard to manufacturer, trade names and marks,
4. to introduce editorial improvements to the requirements for markings,
5. 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,
6. clarifies the heat test cycle,
7. and harmonizes requirements across Regulations Nos. 19, 98, 112, 113 and 123

The collective amendment presented in GRE/2016/34 extends the usage of LED light sources of UN R128 to front lighting Regulations Nos. 19, 98, 112, 113 and 123. The introduction of LED light source categories under UN R128 for forward lighting applications (front fog, low beam, high beam,
AFS) is planned for 2017. This presentation explains the plans, timeline, and dependencies GTB proposes to address through the collective amendment, especially within the context of the simplification of lighting regulations program.

This collective amendment extends the usage of LED light sources of UN R128 to front lighting Regulations Nos. 19, 98, 112, 113 and 123 (as presented in the previous session document GRE-75-14). The proposal would allow for the use of regulated replaceable LED light sources according to Regulation No. 128 in all applications where the use of LED modules is already permitted.

This collective amendment on the stability of photometric performance during the heat test, with particular reference to the movement of the cut-off line, clarifies the test cycle and also aligns the requirements of Regulations Nos. 19, 98, 112, 113 and 123. In addition to resolving problems of interpretation presented by the current text, this collective amendment will assist the Informal Working Group “Simplification of Lighting and Light-Signalling Regulations” in drafting the new simplified Regulations which is underway.

Compressed data package of three documents providing lists of proposals for amendments to lighting regulations within the context of plans for the restructuring of UN lighting regulations.

Proposal to 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 where the specified quantity of “2 ± 1 parts by weight” of surfactant results in invalid testing. The correct specification should be “2 ± 1 drops” of surfactant. While GTB notes that the specification should eventually be incorporated differently under the pending simplification of lighting regulations, the organization strongly urges amending UN R45 as quickly as possible.

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

A mock-up for the proposed regulation consolidating the current forward lighting device regulations, illustrating how the application of the device subparts would be shown in the “Status of the 1958 Agreement” registry of applications, approval authorities, and technical services. The approach would be to add a column listing the lighting functions for which each Contracting Parties accepts/issues approvals.

Proposal as approved by the GRE to delete unnecessary markings for LED front fog lamps that have non-replaceable LED modules and to correct and clarify the requirements for colour measurement and ultraviolet (UV) testing of light emitting diode (LED) modules.

Revised text originally submitted to WP.29 for its November 2013 session, but returned by the Forum due to concerns over the Conformity of Production (CoP) provisions. This revised version deletes the CoP provisions and is submitted pending also a review by GRE at its October 2014 session. This supplement completes the deletion of distributed lighting systems (DLS), or rather light generators, from the regulation.
