Second revision to the project plan for development of the proposed regulation to establish an International Whole Vehicle Type Approval.

First revision to the project plan for a regulation to establish an International Whole Vehicle Type Approval.

First revision to the overview of open items in the development of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval regulation organized by article and annex of the draft regulation.

At the 7th IWVTA group meeting, Germany suggested the creation of a permanent group to guide the IWVTA process after the adoption of UN R0. The group would manage the procedure, ensure a certain level of quality of IWVTA approvals and be an open platform for exchange of information.

Overview of the proposal for a regulation to establish an International Whole Vehicle Type Approval.

Proposal to clarify the deletion of distributed lighting systems (DLS), or rather light generators, from the Regulations No. 19, 48 and 98, because the provisions for the DLS systems are incomplete. This deletion was never fully completed and in the meantime these systems have become obsolete.

During the preparation of the proposal in GRE/2012/7 to update the definition of “type”, the corresponding amendment to Regulation No. 31 was unintentionally omitted. This addendum completes the collective amendment.

The Forum adopted a new UN Regulation on LED light sources at its March 2012 session. This document updates the collective amendment that introduces LED light sources into the relevant UN Regulations 4, 6, 7, 23, 38, 50, 77, 87, 91 and 119.

Revised proposal from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to amend data in draft Supplement 39 (WP.29/2012/09) and to correct data in the proposal by GTB document GRE/2012/02. This proposal supercedes document GRE-67-06.

Proposal to improve the wording of the informal document GRE-67-08 submitted by France to align provisions in UN R48 with those of UN R121 with regard to the hazard warning telltale.

Proposal from OICA to further clarify the test conditions regarding the requirements for the sensitivity of the sensor system for ADB (automatic/adaptive driving beam).

Proposal from CLEPA submitted as an alternative to the German proposal (document GRE-67-04) concerning conspicuity markings for the cab of commercial vehicles.

Illustrations to accompany the CLEPA proposal concerning conspicuity markings for commercial vehicles (document GRE-67-28).

Proposal to add “less than 5 degrees” as a test condition in order to prohibit the unintended use of bend lighting in the proposal for collective amendments to Regulations Nos. 53 and 113 on bend lighting for motorcycles.

OICA presentation raising numerous concerns with the Polish proposal (document GRE/2012/21) to introduce performance-based requirements for headlamp aiming/leveling and glare tolerances.

Regulation No. 48 will soon be made mandatory in the EU. This proposal aims mainly at launching a discussion on consistency and management of the transitional provisions of Regulation No. 48.

Proposal from Japan, based upon the request from OICA and superceding document GRE/2012/14, to clarify the “fixed position of a movable component”.

Presentation of the Polish Motor Transport Institute in support of the proposal to replace fixed values for headlamp aiming and tolerances with performance-based specifications.

IEC response to the GTB proposal to define the conditions under which voltage control gear may be used in conjunction with filament light sources.

Comments from OICA on the German proposal to reconcile views on conspicuity markings for commercial vehicles (document GRE-67-04).

The HRD was conceived as a repository for lighting requirements shared across multiple rules. However, active support has been insufficient to move forward. This submission proposes to suspend the effort pending an EC-sponsored WP.29 effort to improve the Forum’s rule development processes.

Revised version of Poland’s proposal (GRE/2012/21) to introduce performance-based distance and glare criteria for headlamps, replacing the fixed 2000 lm luminous flux condition as a criterion of the automatic leveling requirement.

Submission by the chair of the Task Force on Conspicuity Marking presenting the compromise agreed at GRE-67 for commercial vehicle markings: cumulative horizontal marking length of 70% and allowing alternative minimum marking of the cab by retro-reflectors.

Proposed changes to the SAE proposal (GRE/2011/48) to clarify requirements for the special warning lamp while allowing for harmonization with the requirements for emergency warning lamps as prescribed by SAE.
