In document GRE/2011/35, China proposed to update the ‘resistance to atmospheric agents’ test under UN R112 by applying the spectral energy distribution of sunlight as defined in CIE Publication No. 85:1989, Table 4. Following up on its initial response (document GRE-68-41), SAE explains its opposition to the proposal.

Proposal to restructure the definitions and requirements associated with the installation of “single lamps”, “lamps marked D” and “interdependent lamps” as proposed by GTB. OICA agrees with the principle, but proposes changes to the placement of the definitions within the rule.

Series of proposals to revise the positioning specifications for direction indicators, marker lamps, and reflectors on trailers (O category) and to make clarifications.

Proposal to revise the Italian proposal in order to clarify that the requirements pertain only to characteristics verifiable directly on each lamp in order to avoid confusion with characteristics that can only be verified on the vehicle after installation.

The European Commission, pursuant to concerns raised in its Technical Committee Motor Vehicles, raises issues with two paragraphs that are reproduced in a number of GRE proposals set for consideration at the November WP.29. The EU, therefore, cannot vote to adopt the proposals until these concerns have been addressed (i.e., for the March 2014 session).

Editorial corrections to the GTB and CLEPA proposal to update UN R27 in line with technological progress and performance-based methodologies.

Diagrams further illustrating the corrections proposed in document GRE-70-25.

Proposal to extend the proposed amendment to introduce “interdependent lamps” to the 04 and 05 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48.

Proposal to retroactively extend the clarifications to the definitions and requirements associated with the installation of “single lamps”, “lamps marked D” and “interdependent lamps” to the 04 and 05 series amendments to Regulation No. 48.

Proposal to extend to the the 04 and 05 series amendments to Regulation No. 48 the proposed reduction in the minimum speed for activation of E-class passing beams from 70 km/h to 60 km/h and to prescribe clear alternatives to either detect motorway conditions with sensors or only activate the E mode above a speed of 110km/h.

Revised proposal to introduce the following into Regulation No. 48: a) General definition of ‘tell-tale’, as also currently defined in Regulation No. 121; b) Requirement that the specifications of the tell-tale (location, identification, symbol, illumination and colour) shall meet the relevant requirements of Regulation No. 121; c) Provision that tell-tales shall always provide an optical signal, thus aligning with Regulation No. 121; however, it is suggested to allow additional signals (auditory or any equivalent signal); d) New definition of a ‘failure tell-tale’ and stating the mandatory presence of such tell-tale for the daytime running lamp in certain cases; e) Editorial changes clarifying the situation for a few other cases in Regulation No. 48, where apparently also a ‘failure tell-tale’ was meant.

Proposal to add registration plates used in non-European Contracting Parties to the scope of the regulation. This document is based on the previous document GRE-69-23.

OICA comments on document GRE-69-15/Rev.1 concerning the lighting regulations under consideration for inclusion in the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) system.

Correction to the French version of the proposal to extend the scope of UN R10 to all power train systems above a certain working voltage level when they are in charging mode.

Editorial improvements to the consolidated version (97 pages) of the amendments to UN R10 proposed in documents WP.29/2013/73 (formal proposal of amendments pending before the November 2013 Forum session) and GRE-70-14.

IMMA correction (of an oversight on
inclusion of the colors of the lights from R53 to ensure complete alignment of UN R74 with R53) to its proposal to enable the optional use of hazard warning lamps on L1 category vehicles to alert other vehicles in case of breakdown or other situations that could lead to danger on the road.

Proposal to improve the clarifications proposed regarding the requirements to avoid intentional non-approved (voltage) variation of the principal passing beam, using halogen light sources and to harmonize them with the operating voltage requirements in UN Regulation No. 48

Following discussions with OICA, GTB proposes improvements to the definitions and requirements associated with the installation of “single lamps”, “lamps marked D” and “interdependent lamps”.

OICA comments on the Dutch proposal to revise definitions and specifications concerning “operating” and “failure” tell-tales under UN R48.

As part of the work on establishing an International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) system, Japan has noted differences between European and Japanese vehicle registration (license) plates. Since UN R4 would be part of the IWVTA process, Japan seeks to add its plate requirements to the European requirements embodied in UN R4 in order to enable Japan to adopt this regulation and thereby adhere to the IWVTA.

UK proposal to address concerns raised in the series of proposals to insert provisions for the use of incandescent light sources in the case of light source modules and lamps with non-replaceable light sources.

OICA proposal to amend Poland’s proposal to introduce an alternative set of performance-based requirements for the initial aiming of dipped-beam headlamps and allowing removing the artificial 2,000 lm borderline and Light Emitting Diode (LED) automatic leveling.

Presentation in support of document GRE/2013/57 proposing to introduce an alternative set of performance-based requirements for the initial aiming of dipped-beam headlamps and allowing removing the artificial 2,000 lm borderline and Light Emitting Diode (LED) automatic leveling.
