Proposal to introduce an alternative configuration for the light emitting diode replacement (LEDr) light source category H11.

Proposal to correct and clarify the communication form.

Proposal to clarify the measurement of the quality of the “cut-off”.

Proposal to clarify the markings. Some countries and regions refer to the requirements of the 00 series of amendments to UN R149, or to older regulations. In order to avoid the redundant burden to mark the symbols of both the 00 and 01 series on the lamp (e.g., “HCR” or “HR and C”), the proposal would allow for consistency of the symbols between the 00 and the 01 series of amendments. UN R149 also includes passing-beam requirements designed to provide symmetrical “cut-off” line: the proposal introduces examples in Annex 13.

Proposal to align the requirements in UN R48 with updated requirements in UN R149 (UN R48 currently only refers to a light source or light-emitting diode (LED) module(s) for dipped beam (paragraph 6.2.9.) and to light sources of the lighting units for an adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) (paragraph 6.22.9.) while the latest updates to the 01 series of UN R149 requires the communication form to indicate whether the total objective luminous flux of one or more light source(s) or light source module(s) for a dipped beam exceeds 2,000 lumens). This proposal replaces the term “LED module” with “Light source module” and modifies wording to adapt to the introduction of “matched pair” requirements for headlamps and AFS.

Proposal to align the requirements for off-road vehicles passing-beam vertical inclination between the 06, 07, 08 series and the 09 series of amendments to UN R48.

Proposal to avoid exceeding the aggregate maximum intensity of the main-beam headlamps (430,000 cd) by removing the double requirement for a sum of reference marks and a sum of maximum luminous intensities which risks generating large rounding errors when the maximum luminous intensities are summed up.
