| Lamps under parked conditions: Consolidated and amended text of UN R48 |
| Reference Number: LUPC-11-02 |
|
Based on SLR-73-07/Rev.1 including LUPC-01-03, this consolidated and amended text of UN R48 defines uniform provisions for vehicle lighting and light-signalling device installation. The regulation establishes requirements for vehicles of categories M1–M3, N1–N3, and O1–O4 regarding lamp presence, positioning, geometric visibility, orientation, electrical connections, and tell-tales. Key additions include energy status indicators providing charge status information via white, amber, red, selective-yellow, indicator blue, or indicator green light; lamp test mode enabling user-performed visual function checks of lighting systems; and enhanced driver assistance projections. Transitional provisions establish type-approval acceptance deadlines with mandatory application dates from September 2027 for M and N1–O2 vehicles and September 2028 for N2–O4 vehicles. |

| SLR: Follow up to the 77th session (for information only) |
| No reference number |
|
The document provides follow-up information from the SLR 77th session. SLR-77-06/Rev.1 corrects errors and omissions in Reg. 150 and will supersede GRE-94-02, potentially merged with the proposal deleting UI in R150-01 for WP.29 submission in November 2026. Four baseline documents for Stage 2/Step 2 work (SLR-77-08/Rev.1, SLR-77-09, SLR-77-10, SLR-77-07 for Regs. 48, 53, 74, 86 respectively) will be submitted to GRE-94 with presentation slides. SLR agreed to keep Par. 6.21 on conspicuity marking and to renumber paragraphs 5.5 to 5.36. Old transitional provisions are documented separately. Apparent surface definition will replace light-emitting surface. Direction indicator visibility requires further study. Harmonisation text prohibits non-mentioned lamps unless compliant with national requirements. Eleven informal documents will be submitted to GRE-94. |
