UN R53: Proposal for a 04 series of amendments

Proposal to:

  • Amend para. 6.1.1.1. and 6.1.1.2. to modify provisions for passing-beams and driving-beams for motorcycles with different cylinder capacities and power levels,
  • Amend para. 6.1.6.1. to allow passing-beams to remain switched on with driving-beams and specify conditions for secondary driving-beams,
  • Amend para. 6.2.1.1. and 6.2.1.2. to modify provisions for daytime running lamps,
  • Replace references to “UN Regulation No. 113 or 149” with “UN Regulation No. 149” in para. 6.2.3.1.4., 6.2.5.7., 6.2.5.8., and 6.2.6.1.,
  • Amend para. 6.3.2. through 6.16.1.1. to update type-approval requirements for various lighting devices,
  • Insert para. 11.12. establishing transitional provisions effective 1 September 2028, with full acceptance of preceding series until 1 September 2030.
