Comparison of the draft update of China’s lighting installation standard GB 4785 20XX and the 06 series of amendments to UN R48.

Proposal to require installation of direction indicators on mopeds.

Discussion document presenting potential new requirements for headlamp levelling, in particular regarding the vertical inclination in relation to the dipped-beam headlamp mounting height.

Proposal to clarify the requirements of paragraph 5.26. for the variable luminous intensity of four different light signaling functions: rear direction indicator lamps of category 2b, rear position lamps of category R2, stop lamps of category S2,and rear fog lamps of category F2. The intent is to ensure that all the lamps maintain their proportionate relationships throughout the transitions in luminosity.

vary all together proportionally.

Proposal to:

1. update requirements for headlamps and daytime running lamps related to headlamp switching. In particular, the proposed 07 series of amendments aims to clarify electrical connection requirements, conditions for manual switching OFF of headlamps, and new definitions for switching ON/OFF and for activating/deactivating lamps;
2. introduce technical parameters for speed and vehicle distance, allowing reduced intensity at speeds lower than 20 km/h, in order to encourage reduced glaring effects from rear signaling lamps;
3. introduce references to the three new simplified lighting Regulations (Light-Signalling Devices (LSD), Road Illumination Devices (RID) and Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD)).

EMC task force consolidated draft text for the 06 series of amendments to the UN Regulation on electromagnetic compatibility. (Revision 12)

Proposal to introduce new LED substitute light source categories W5W/LEDK and WY5W/LED.

Proposal to introduce new light emitting diode (LED) substitute light source categories C5W/LEDK and R5W/LED.

Proposal to correct and clarify the requirements for daytime running lamps (DRL) in conjunction with rear position lamps.

Proposal to allow under specified conditions the use of logos inside the illuminating surface of a signalling lamp.

Proposal to introduce provisions:

1. For vehicles intended for use by the armed services and forces responsible for maintaining public order: the manual switching off of all lighting devices in all circumstances;
2. In the absence of a “vehicle door assistance and warning system”: the mandatory application of the hazard warning lights to reduce the safety risks in the case a door is opened to the traffic side.

Proposal to introduce requirements for testing the sun load impact to avoid delays in the perception of light signals under certain sunlight conditions.

Proposal to restore the original automatic headlamp ON (AHO) requirement for vehicles not equipped with daytime running lamps (DRL). The 03 series of amendments (focusing on DRL) as approved by GRE during its October 2018 session (document GRE/2018/50) changes provisions for automatic headlamps as adopted for motorcycles in 2004 (see document GRE/2003/12/Rev.1). While appropriate for vehicles equipped with DRL, the changes would reduce safety for vehicles not equipped with DRL.

Recap of the conclusions regarding visibility and glare in terms of performance-oriented lighting criteria from the SLR-27 discussions.
