Proposal to clarify the scope requirements for a UN Regulation, to specify that national authorities may apply additional requirements provided they are not covered by one or more applicable UN Regulations, and to delete the clause allowing Contracting Parties to refuse to accept type approvals granted under a preceding series of amendments after the entry into force of the latest series of amendments to a UN Regulation.

Proposal from the Simplification of Lighting Regulations informal group to combine provisions of UN Regulations Nos. 4, 6, 7, 23, 38, 50, 77, 87 and 91 into a single regulation. This consolidation aims to streamline the administration and implementation of these lighting regulations while setting the foundation for a future shift towards performance-based approval requirements. This proposal restructures the existing body of lighting regulations without changing their content (e.g., technical requirements).

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 require the installation of direction indicator lamps on mopeds.

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 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. (This revised version of the original document corrects minor inaccuracies in formatting of text boxes on some drawings.)

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.

Japan proposals, modified pursuant to discussions during the 79th GRE session, to improve human-machine interfaces and otherwise clarify elements in the Headlamp Switching Task Force proposal for the electrical connections of headlamps, daytime running lamps, and related lighting devices (documents GRE/2018/20 and GRE-78-21/Rev.1).

Because the new lighting device regulations (LSD, RRD, and RID) each cover multiple lighting functions (e.g. direction indicators, marker lamps, DRL in the LSD regulation), the potential exists for a change in stringency to impact some, but not all functions within the scope of each regulation. The change index is proposed in order to track the impact on each function and so restrict the need for new type approvals only to those functions impacted by a change in stringency.

Discussion document from the Netherlands and Italy to serve presenting potential new requirements for headlamp levelling, in particular regarding the vertical inclination in relation to the dipped-beam headlamp mounting height. The proposal is based on the original proposal of the Informal Working Group on Visibility, Glare and Levelling (VGL) (informal documents GRE-78-23-Rev.1, GRE-78-32, GRE-78-36) and discussions during the GRE 78th session.
