Report on the status of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval program with regard to regulations under the purview of GRPE.

Proposal to introduce new light emitting diode (LED) substitute light source categories C5W/LED, PY21W/LED and R5W/LED. The proposal is part of a package which also includes amendments to Regulation No. 128.

Proposal to introduce a new light emitting diode (LED) forward lighting light source category L1. The proposal is part of a package which includes amendments to Regulation No. 128.

Proposal to

1. introduce provisions for LED substitute light sources into Regulation No. 128;
2. introduce new category sheets C5W/LED, PY21W/LED and R5W/LED based on LED technology into the Consolidated Resolution (R.E.5);
3. establish equivalence criteria as guidance for specifying sheets for LED substitute light source categories. (These guidelines are intended for publication, with the agreement of GRE, on the GRE website under “reference documents”, similar to criteria for new filament light sources for head lighting (GRE-77-04). In addition, these criteria are being prepared for insertion in publication IEC 60810.);
introduce equivalence reports for the new categories C5W/LED, PY21W/LED and R5W/LED in LED technology (see GRE-77-02).

Proposal to introduce requirements and test specifications to light emitting diode (LED) forward lighting light sources.

Proposal to introduce requirements for light emitting diode (LED) substitute light sources into Regulations Nos. 48, 53, 74 and 86.

The regulation of lighting includes individual regulations for specific lighting devices (headlamps, direction indicators, etc.), for light source (filament, gas, LED), and for installation (UN R48). The proposed UN R0 on the type approval of whole vehicles requires submission of approval certificates for components and systems to be included within the whole vehicle approval. Vehicle manufacturers work directly with UN R48 approvals, but lamp and device approvals are generally handled by lighting suppliers. UN R48 includes provisions for listing approvals of lighting units, but not for approvals of light sources (presently UN R37, R99, and R128). In order to avoid excessive administrative burdens, GTB proposes that the regulations covering light units include provisions to confirm their approval under the applicable light source regulations such that UN R48 approvals would represent approval of the vehicle lighting systems under both device regulations and light-source regulations.

GTB understanding of the application of the Unique Identifier (UI) and the UN secure Internet database in accordance with Schedule 5 of the 1958 Agreement.
