Proposal from the WP.29 secretariat to correct the proposal for Supplement 10 to the 04 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48 pursuant to errors identified by OICA. Document WP.29/2012/73 seeks to align UN R48 with changes made to related lighting regulations.

Proposal to permit manufacturers to restrict the ability of the driver to permanently turn off manually the main beams and their automatic controls. This proposal would permit the use of time-delay systems that would reactivate the automatic system, tentatively suggesting a 10-second delay.

Overview of proposed system to permit whole vehicle type approvals among countries (Contracting Parties) with different requirements.

Draft of the proposed regulation to enable the international type approval of whole vehicles.

Proposal from the Working Group secretariat to correct errors and omissions in the Conformity of Production section of UN R10 concerning provisions for components and electrical/electronic subassemblies (ESA), in particular, with regard to their reference limits.

Updated 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 complete while these systems have become obsolete.

Document GRE/2012/29 proposes to clarify the requirements for the mandatory manual override of the automatic/adaptive driving beam (ADB) function. While agreeing with the sub-menu prohibition, OICA proposes to delete the prohibition on “multi-step operations” so as not to restrict future designs.

Document GRE-68-02 from the Working Party “Brussels 1952” (GTB) proposes to amend the geometric visibility provisions of multiple lighting regulations. Since manufacturers have already developed lighting in line with the current definitions, OICA seeks a 48-month transition period.

Document GRE/2012/44 would extend the scope of UN R10 to all kinds of power train systems above a certain working voltage level when they are in charging mode and enable the type approval of separate electrical components (ESA). OICA corrects and clarifies several points from the earlier proposal.

Overview of document GRE/2012/44 (proposal for the 05 series of amendments of UN R10) which would extend the scope of UN R10 to all kinds of power train systems above a certain working voltage level when they are in charging mode and enable the type approval of separate electrical components (ESA).

OICA presentation on document GRE/2012/27, a proposal for Supplement 3 to the 05 series of amendments to UN R48 from Poland to replace the artificial 2,000 lm borderline and LED automatic leveling requirements with performance-based distance and glare criteria for headlamps.

Document GRE/2012/28 is a proposal from the Netherlands and the United Kingdom to further clarify the test conditions for the requirements on the sensitivity of the sensor system for automatic/adaptive driving beam. This OICA document notes that the presence of position lamps is optional.

Document GRE-68-04 is a proposal to insert provisions for the use of light source control gear in the case of halogen incandescent light sources. This proposal deletes limits on the main passing beam and responds to concerns raised by IEC in document GRE-67-30.
