Proposal to add a reference to the installation parameters (illumination levels, maximum gradient value, angles of visibility and light incidence angle) of the licence plate illumination lamps determined during their type approval process, to clarify the height requirements for the installation of the dipped-beam headlamp, reversing lamp and rear fog lamp for vehicles of category G (designed for off-road use), to clarify use of the term "electronic light source control gear”, to correct paragraph numbering and to re-introduce provisions that were omitted by mistake in previous amendments.

Proposal to minimize hazards to other traffic users such as glare and distraction by expanding the scope of the vehicle’s conditions subject to technical requirements under “normal conditions of use” (para. 5.1.), including use of lighting when parked or engine stopped.

Proposal to address semitrailers where the required distance of the foremost side-marker lamp of 3 m from the front cannot be achieved.

For a more efficient discussion during the 83rd session of GRE the experts from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers merged documents GRE/2020/08-Rev.1 (SLR) and GRE/2020/23 into one document.

Proposal to permit the installation of manoeuvring lamps on trailers.

Proposal from the SLR informal group to introduce into the 06 series of amendments to UN R48 the possibility to extend to some additional contributors for the driving-beam (more than four) without AFS.

Proposal from the SLR informal group to introduce into the 03, 04, and 05 series of amendments to UN R48 references to the headlamp Classes in the 01 series of amendments to UN R149.

For light sources with integrated electronics an “Electronic light source control gear” comprises components between the supply and the light emitting elements. The definition was derived from IEC and CIE, where a light source is the light emitting element. Provisions for “Electronic light source control gear” are normally used in installation and device regulations, but create confusion in relation to light sources with integrated electronics. Therefore, it is proposed to tune this term to the use in installation and device regulations and no longer specifically mention integration (or not) in the light source; “Electronic light source control gear” is not defined in R.E.5., but is part of the light source definition. The proposal also delete the term “igniter” because it is not used in the regulation.

Currently under UN R48, it is possible to have additional contributors for driving-beam (more than four) in relation with AFS requirements (Par. 6.22.4.1.2.). This proposal is intended to extend such a possibility to driving-beam without AFS (Par. 6.1.). Brightness will be always limited by the requirements in Par. 6.1.9.1. (Imax value 430,000 cd for all driving-beam headlamps switch ON simultaneously). In case of additional modules, the surface of the driving-beam will increase and its luminance will decrease. Consequently, an oncoming driver would not receive any additional glare.
