The International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system under development proposes to allow for the acceptance by Contracting Parties of approvals issued according to versions of a regulation earlier than the latest version in force as well as of approvals issued under some, but not all, regulations that comprise the IWVTA. This document proposes an approach to manage the various configurations of the Limited IWVTA.

Proposal to introduce provisions for variable intensity daytime running lamps (improving performance under certain outlying ambient light conditions) and to update the heat resistance testing in line with technological progress.

Proposal to introduce a new category, ‘D9S’.

Proposal to introduce variable daytime running lamps into the regulation.

Proposal to improve the applicability of paragraph 5.7.1.3.1. (concerning the separation of grouped direction indicator and stop lamps in order to avoid “signal mix”). To improve the present requirements of paragraph 5.7.1.3.1.on the basis of the colour changes concept, three alternative approaches for a suitable separation of direction indicator lamps and stop lamp are proposed:
a) the improved test of the existing paragraph 5.7.1.3.1. clarifies its application to lamps composed of more than one part and deletes the concept of “adjacent” parts of the lamps (that in the past led to different interpretations) in favour of a description of the condition of application of the requirement;
b) the unchanged text of the following paragraph 5.7.1.3.2.;
c) a new paragraph 5.7.1.3.3. to provide for specific electrical connections of the involved functions, in conjunction with the requirements of paragraph 5.9.2.
