LED replacement light sources without type approval are being sold online and offline and are unsafe for public roads; vehicles equipped with such products would fail PTI. LED replacement light sources with type approval are available either at national level or according to UN R37, and are safe and legal for public roads; vehicles equipped with approved LED replacement light sources shall NOT fail PTI. Approval marking on installed light sources is not accessible during PTI; verification may involve a sticker on headlamp housing, type approval documents, or packaging, with removal of the light source as a last resort to verify the approval marking.

Valeo presentation and proposal regarding LED substitute light sources.

Proposal to correct a reference to standard IEC (pursuant to a change in paragraph numbering of the IEC standard) and to align UN R37 with UN R48 and UN R128 with regard to the use of the term “chromaticity area”. The wording “required tolerance area” in case of colour is changed to “required chromaticity area” to align with Regulation No. 48. This proposal was initiated by a proposal to amend Regulation No. 128 aimed at avoiding confusion with other tolerance areas.

The regulation of lighting includes individual regulations for specific lighting devices (headlamps, direction indicators, etc.), for light source (filament, gas, LED), and for installation (UN R48). The proposed UN R0 on the type approval of whole vehicles requires submission of approval certificates for components and systems to be included within the whole vehicle approval. 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). In order to avoid excessive administrative burdens, GTB proposes that the regulations covering light units include provisions to confirm their approval under the applicable light source regulations such that UN R48 approvals would represent approval of the vehicle lighting systems under both device regulations and light-source regulations.

Proposal from the Informal Working Group “Simplification of the Lighting and Light-Signalling Regulations” (SLR) and approved by the GRE to simplify the content and amendment process of the light source Regulations in conjunction with the establishment of a new resolution on specifications for light source categories.

Amendments to the proposal by the Informal Working Group “Simplification of the Lighting and Light-Signalling Regulations” (SLR) to simplify the content and amendment process of the light source Regulations Nos. 37, 99 and 128.

Proposal from the Informal Working for a new Resolution on light sources to simplify the content and amendment process for the light-source regulations UN R37, 99 and 128. The data sheets for light sources are moved from Annexes 1 of these Regulations to the draft Resolution. In addition, the draft phases out some filament light source categories (per the earlier document GRE/2015/29), add new LED categories LW3, LY3, LR5, LW5, and LY5 (per document GRE/2015/30), and aligns drawings of category LR4 with drawings of these new categories. These latter items were all approved during the 74th GRE session.

Proposal to clarify the specifications of filament lamp category H19.

Proposal from the Informal Working Group “Simplification of the Lighting and Light-Signalling Regulations” (SLR) to simplify the content and amendment process of the light source Regulations.

Proposal from the informal working group on the Simplification of Lighting Regulations to consolidate data sheets for light-source categories (UN R37 on filament lamps, UN R99 on gas-discharge light sources, and UN R128 on LED light sources). The data sheets for light sources are moved from Annexes 1 of these Regulations to the proposed Resolution. Moreover, the proposals to phase out some filament light source categories (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/29), to introduce new LED light source categories LW3, LY3, LR5, LW5 and LY5 and to align some drawings of category LR4 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/30), all adopted by the Working Party on Lighting and Light-Signalling at its seventy-fourth session, were merged with this proposal.

Request from the SLR informal group for confirmation whether the proposed establishment of a resolution on common specifications of light source categories is acceptable. The resolution would provide a list of light sources allowed in lamps. The UN Office of Legal Affairs has stated that a resolution may not be used to amend a regulation, raising a possible question of interpretation. The SLR informal group also asks whether the proposed resolution can be provided only in English.

This document prepared by the informal working group on the Simplification of Lighting Regulations (SLR) shows all content of the proposal for for a new Draft Resolution on the common specification of light source categories (document GRE/2015/28).

Documents GRE/2014/20, GRE/2014/24 and GRE/2014/29 propose to add light categories to UN Regulation Nos. 37, 99, and 128; however, since the amendment or extension of an IEC60061 cap sheet results in a change to the sequence number of the sheet, all light source category sheets that refer to that IEC sheet need an update. Therefore, the IEC proposes the necessary changes to the text of the above proposals.

Proposal to insert the IEC cap sheet numbers assigned for the new light categories WT21W, WTY21W, WT21/7W and WTY21/7W.
