a) Proposal to amend UN R48 to clarify the DRL switching-off conditions (also aligning them with the existing switching-off conditions for front position lamps reciprocally incorporated with DI) and/or light intensity reduction when DRL and DI are totally or partially reciprocally incorporated and when their distance is equal or less than 40 mm.
b) Proposal to introduce into UN R87 the possibility of a supplemental verification and certification of the “reduced luminous intensity”, fulfilling the pertinent requirements in Regulation No. 48.

Proposal from the Headlamp Switching task force co-chairs to clarify the wording used in requirements related to functional electrical connections of lamps in document GRE/2018/22.

Proposal for changes to document GRE/2018/19 proposing to require automatic switching from DRL to normal headlamp lighting as conditions warrant under UN R53 and the proposed new UN Regulation on light-signalling devices.

Proposal to a) improve the transitional provisions presented in GRE/2018/11 with regard to the collective
amendments to Regulations Nos. 3, 4, 6, 7, 19, 23, 27, 38, 50, 69, 70, 77, 87, 91, 98, 104, 112, 113, 119 and 123 and b) introduce new requirements into the 06 series of amendments to UN R48 with regard to the validity and installation of type approved lighting and light-signalling devices.

Proposal for amendments to the draft text.

Proposal for changes to the draft Road Illumination Devices (RID) regulation.

Japan proposals, modified pursuant to discussions during the 79th GRE session, to improve human-machine interfaces and otherwise clarify elements in the Headlamp Switching Task Force proposal for the electrical connections of headlamps, daytime running lamps, and related lighting devices (documents GRE/2018/20 and GRE-78-21/Rev.1).

Because the new lighting device regulations (LSD, RRD, and RID) each cover multiple lighting functions (e.g. direction indicators, marker lamps, DRL in the LSD regulation), the potential exists for a change in stringency to impact some, but not all functions within the scope of each regulation. The change index is proposed in order to track the impact on each function and so restrict the need for new type approvals only to those functions impacted by a change in stringency.

Discussion document from the Netherlands and Italy to serve presenting potential new requirements for headlamp levelling, in particular regarding the vertical inclination in relation to the dipped-beam headlamp mounting height. The proposal is based on the original proposal of the Informal Working Group on Visibility, Glare and Levelling (VGL) (informal documents GRE-78-23-Rev.1, GRE-78-32, GRE-78-36) and discussions during the GRE 78th session.

Comments on the proposal from Germany and Italy for the 07 series of amendments to UN R48 and for Supplement 20 to UN R87.

Proposal to define specifications for the design and operation of external status indicators for Vehicle Alarm Systems (VAS), Alarm Systems (AS) and immobilizers under UN R48 pursuant to provisions of UN R97 and R116.

Recent amendments to the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108 allows UN Regulation
headlamps to be used on vehicles in Canada. CMVSS 108 specifically refers to the existing UN Regulations. In order to continue the acceptance of headlamps compliant with UN Regulations in Canada after the switch to the new Road Illumination Devices (RID) regulation, the current regulations should make clear references to RID before they are frozen and superseded.

Proposal to improve the document GRE/2018/11 (GRE-79-31) and to introduce in R48-06 new minimum installation requirements for type approved lighting and light-signalling devices and to improve the transitional provisions for Regulations Nos. 3, 4, 6, 7, 19, 23, 27, 38, 50, 69, 70, 77, 87, 91, 98, 104, 112, 113, 119 and 123. Proposal for new minimum installation requirements for type approved lighting and light-signalling devices in R48-06. Proposal to clarify which devices may be installed on the vehicles in line with the applicable requirements as amended by the new UN Regulations on light-signalling devices, road illumination devices, and retro-reflecting devices.
