Proposal from the informal working group on the Simplification of Lighting Regulations to introduce the definition and general requirements for use of the “change index” established via the three new simplified Regulations on Light-Signalling Devices (LSD), Road Illumination Devices (RID) and Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD).

Under UN R112, a Class B lighting device that fulfills the requirements for Class A headlamps may be approved. However, UN R74 prohibits the use of Class B devices in this manner. Therefore, this proposal would remove the discrepancy and enable the installation of Class B devices approved under UN R112 as headlamps.

Proposal to require the installation of direction indicator lamps on mopeds.

Proposal to update the definition of “stop lamp” in order to allow the use of different stop lamp activation methods for powered two-wheelers as currently applicable for four-wheelers; e.g. by the application of a retarder or a similar device.

Proposal to align UN R50 and UN R53 regarding the inward geometric visibility requirements for rear position lamps.

Proposal to allow installation of exterior courtesy lamps on motorcycles by aligning the text with provisions on courtesy lamps in UN R48.

Proposal to clarify the text with regard to the activation of the direction indicators when the motorcycle engine in order to signal the vehicle status. The proposal would specify the purposes for which indicators may be activated:

1. To show the vehicle status (e.g. locking system) when the vehicle is parked;
2. To allow the driver to recognize the presence of his/her own vehicle from a certain distance by remote control;
3. In case of keyless entry system and of the driver having lost the key fob while riding – to inform the driver that he/she no longer has the key fob and that the vehicle will soon become unable to restart.

Proposal to align the angle of visibility requirements for rear position lamps with the angle of visibility requirements for front position lamps. This proposal corresponds with a related proposal on Regulation No. 53 (GRE/2018/28).

Valeo presentation on behalf of CLEPA for substitute LED light sources in order to avoid misuse of LED substitutes as retrofits in lamps and/or vehicles that were not type approved for using such light sources.

Proposal to introduce a new light emitting diode (LED) forward lighting light source category L1/6. The proposal is part of a package which also includes amendments to Regulation No. 128. 2. GTB proposes one category L1/6 with “maximum test temperature” 65 °C. The definition of the maximum test temperature is necessary to ensure interchangeability between approved light sources from different manufacturers. A separate (unique) light source category is specified for every “maximum test temperature”. The choice of installation of a light source with a given maximum test temperature is based on the application in the vehicle and determined by due diligence of the car maker and set maker, in the same way as is now the case with LED modules.

Document WP.29/343 is the “Status of the 1958 Agreement” which provides the current listing of UN Regulations, Contracting Parties applying each regulation, technical services authorized to conduct testing under each regulation, and so on. Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement and UN R0 on International Whole Vehicle Type Approvals change the status document because Contracting Parties may accept earlier versions of UN Regulations and IWVTA approvals may be partial or universal based upon acceptance of specific regulations and/or versions. This submission from the WP.29 Secretariat provides guidance on how these changes will be reflected under the status document.

In response to discussions over the application of Revision 3 to the 1958 Agreement concerning extensions of approvals granted prior to Revision 3, IMMA presents an example from UN R50 where application of Revision 3 presents concerns.

Proposal under preparation by the Task Force on Substitutes/Retrofits (TF S/R) to introduce a new light emitting diode (LED) substitute light source category PY21W/LED. This proposal is based on document GRE/2017/3 and takes into account proposals in documents WP29/2018/32 and WP29/2018/33.

Proposal under development by the Task Force on Substitutes/Retrofits (TF S/R) to introduce requirements for light emitting diode (LED) substitute light sources into Regulations Nos. 48, 53, 74 and 86.
