Proposals to modify UN Regulations 10 and 14 to address requirements under Australian law.

OICA strongly supports the German proposal and seeks clarification of certain points.

Proposed changes to the article concerning the procedure for amendments to UN Regulations.

Draft text for Revision 2 to the “General Guidelines for UN regulatory procedures and transitional provisions in UN regulations” (Document WP.29/1044).

Draft UN R0 with introduction and revised paragraphs 12 and 13.

OICA proposal for the “Information document for the purpose of IWVTA” that retains in the document only those entries that are essential for the identification of a vehicle type and its variants or describe important properties of the whole vehicle. This proposal also deletes entries not relevant for category M1 vehicles.

The document proposes revised wording for the introduction of a Declaration of Conformance (DoC) for the vehicles approved according to the draft UN Regulation No. 0 concerning whole vehicle type approvals.

Proposal to exclude M1 vehicles from the close-proximity field of vision requirements pursuant to the establishment of the international whole vehicle type approval system.

IMMA comments on the suggestion to include a cross reference to UN R10 in UN R78 in order to ensure that electromagnetic interference does not affect electronic brake modules in a way that causes unsafe brake operation as was adopted for UN R13.

Document prepared by the AVLI informal working group highlight the changes between documents GRE/2014/30 and GRE/2014/2. These two documents proposed to update and revise Regulation No. 86. This document is identical to the text proposed in the official document GRE/2014/30.

Summary of the background and aims of the EU proposal to restructure and simplify automotive lighting regulations.

OICA comments on document GRE/2014/39 proposing to align UN R48 with the proposal approved by the GRSG to require the automatic activation of hazard warning lights in buses and coaches in the event of excess temperatures in the engine and/or other compartments.

German proposal amending its earlier draft supplement to UN R48 that would introduce provisions for flashing side marker lamps for M2, M3, N2, N3, O3 and O4 category vehicles in order to promote the safety of vulnerable road users by informing them about the intended turns of buses and heavy goods vehicles and their trailers. The change would exempt the proposed requirement from the transitional provisions of the 06 series of amendments.

Proposal to require that side marker lamps mounted on M2, M3, N2, N3, O 3 and O4 vehicles flash simultaneously with the direction-indicator lamps. The aim is to prevent death and injury to cyclists by improving their reaction time through clearer indication of the intended turn of a longer vehicle.

During the 71st session of GRE, the experts from GTB presented the outcome of a study on visibility and glare of automotive low beam headlamps; see informal document GRE-71-32. The study concentrated on levelling in relation to load. The major objectives of the study were to improve the understanding of different factors that influence visibility and glare and to identify results of the study that might reveal alternatives for automatic static levelling. The deciding factors in headlamp glare have been determined to be the vehicle pitch angle, loading conditions and initial headlamp aim. Therefore, this proposal looks at replacing the light source technology and the light source 2,000 lm criterion in UN Regulation No. 48 as criteria for the requirement for automatic levelling with performance requirements based upon these deciding factors.
