This document is the draft revision to the existing guidelines document WP29/1044/Rev.1 which includes the changes discussed at the 18th SG58 meeting and will be used as a base document for discussion at the 19th SG58 meeting.

It also includes:
1. OICA responses/comments to the proposals and comments made by the EC (see SG58-18-08)
2. OICA proposal to revise §43, as requested at the November 2015 meeting (see SG58-19-01, Action item 6)
3. Revision to the transitional provisions in chapters B (equipment and parts), C (installation of equipment and parts), D (replacement parts for vehicles in use), jointly developed with CLEPA
4. Some further proposals by CLEPA, that can be supported by OICA

Consolidated version of the working draft amendment to WP29/1044/Rev.1, incorporating changes agreed during the 18th subgroup session and the following:

1. OICA responses/comments to the proposals and comments made by the EC (see SG58-18-08)
2. OICA proposal to revise §43, as requested at the November 2015 meeting (see SG58-19-01, Action item 6)
3. Revision to the transitional provisions in chapters B (equipment and parts), C (installation of equipment and parts), D (replacement parts for vehicles in use), jointly developed with CLEPA
4. Some further proposals by CLEPA, that can be supported by OICA

Proposal to further refine the transitional provisions of UN R48. In 2014, the transitional provisions of UN R48 were changed in order to avoid having more than one series of amendments in force at the same time (via Supplement 3 to the 06 series of amendments). This change allows earlier series of amendments to be “frozen” and used under the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system (IWVTA) as “versions” of UN R48. However, the possibility for the partial application of a series of amendments resulting from the installation of new equipment on a vehicle approved to an earlier series has been raised within the IWVTA. This proposal refines the transitional provisions in order to enable partial application of a series through an extension of the existing approval rather by requiring a new approval. At the same time, the proposal aims to ensure that the safety objectives of UN R48 are met.

Proposal for Supplement 17 to the 04 series of amendments, Supplement 10 to the 05 series of amendments and Supplement 8 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48. The proposal seeks to clarify paragraph 6.21.1.2.4. with regard to the application of conspicuity markings on bodywork made of flexible material.

Proposal from the informal working group on the Simplification of Lighting Regulations to consolidate data sheets for light-source categories (UN R37 on filament lamps, UN R99 on gas-discharge light sources, and UN R128 on LED light sources). The data sheets for light sources are moved from Annexes 1 of these Regulations to the proposed Resolution. Moreover, the proposals to phase out some filament light source categories (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/29), to introduce new LED light source categories LW3, LY3, LR5, LW5 and LY5 and to align some drawings of category LR4 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/30), all adopted by the Working Party on Lighting and Light-Signalling at its seventy-fourth session, were merged with this proposal.

Proposal to clarify the requirements with regard to daytime running lamps and direction indicators in order to prevent DRL from masking or otherwise interfering with the visibility of the direction indicator lamps. Germany believes that the current text produces different interpretations with different results that risk degrading vehicle safety.

Proposal from the Informal Working Group “Simplification of the Lighting and Light-Signalling Regulations” (SLR) to simplify the content and amendment process of the light source Regulations.

Proposal from the Informal Working Group “Simplification of the Lighting and Light-Signalling Regulations” (SLR) to simplify the content and amendment process of the light source Regulations.

Proposal to refine the requirements for lamps equipped with several light sources, including in systems fitted with an operating tell-tale that indicates the failure of any one of these light sources. In the case of failure of any one light source in a single lamp containing more than one light source, either the light intensity must comply with the minimum intensity required in the table of standard light distribution in space or, for lamps used in systems where a tell-tale indicates the failure of any one of the light sources, the light intensity in the axis of reference must be at least 50 per cent of the minimum intensity required.

Proposal to amend the formula for the dirt mixture used in testing to address an error introduced by Supplement 9 to the 01 series of amendments to UN R45 where the specified quantity of “2 ± 1 parts by weight” of surfactant results in invalid testing. The correct specification should be “2 ± 1 drops” of surfactant. While GTB notes that the specification should eventually be incorporated differently under the pending simplification of lighting regulations, the organization strongly urges amending UN R45 as quickly as possible.

Proposal to clarify the specifications of filament lamp category H19.

Proposal to introduce a new optional “Class B1” headlamp. The proposal would establish photometric requirements for Class B1 based on average real performance of present Class B (halogen/LED) but would not include additional design restrictions such as the luminous flux of light source.

Proposal from the Informal Working Group “Simplification of the Lighting and Light-Signalling Regulations” (SLR) to simplify the content and amendment process of the light source Regulations.

Request for task force views with regard to the work on automatic emergency call devices (AECD):

1. Does R10.04 (and any later version) fully cover the EMC aspects for AECD components to be fitted to vehicles and for vehicles with these systems installed/integrated?
2. If not, what amendments can be proposed to Regulation 10?
3. Are specific EMC provisions necessary within the Regulation on AECS?

Session report, including list of participants.

During its first session, the EMC Task Force considered proposal regarding the application of UN R10 to trolley buses (under UN R107), to UN R46 (indirect vision and camera monitor systems), and to the work on automatic emergency call systems (AECS), as well as a proposal to amend UN R10 itself. OICA provides the views of its EMC experts in this document.

Review of work towards adapting and/or approving certain UN Regulations for use within the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval regulation.
