This is reflected by the introduction of the original series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 148 and completes one of the objectives of the Working Party on Light and Light-Signalling (GRE) Informal Working Group “Simplification of Lighting and Light-Signalling Regulations” (IWG SLR).With the introduction of the 01 series of amendments to this Regulation another objective of GRE IWG SLR comes into existence. This new series of amendments deals with the identified amendments and clarifications to this Regulation in order to achieve, to the current maximum possible extent, the goal of being technologically neutral, performance based and able to be tested objectively. This is accompanied by amendments to UN Regulations regarding the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices (Nos. 48, 53, 74 and 86) to reflect any necessary changes influenced by this Regulation.Regarding the requirements for approval markings, this Regulation includes the requirements for the use of the 'Unique Identifier' and is conditional upon access to a secure internet database established by UNECE (in accordance with Schedule 5 of the 1958 Agreement) where all type approval documentation is held. When the 'Unique Identifier' is used there is no requirement for the lamps to carry the conventional type approval markings (E-mark). If it is technically not possible to use the 'Unique Identifier' (e.g. if the access to the UNECE internet database cannot be secured or the database is not operational), the use of conventional type approval markings is required until the use of the 'Unique Identifier' is enabled. In addition, the use of the 'Unique Identifier' shall only be possible if the corresponding Summary Document (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1159, paragraph 89) has been defined in this Regulation and the database is providing access to the Summary Document.1. ScopeThis Regulation applies to the following light-signalling devices (lamps): Rear-registration plate illuminating lamps Direction indicator lamps Position lamps Stop lamps End-outline marker lamps Reversing lamps Manoeuvring lamps Rear fog lamps Parking lamps Daytime running lamps Side marker lamps2. DefinitionsFor the purposes of this Regulation:2.1. All the definitions given in the latest series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48 in force at the time of application for type approval shall apply, unless otherwise specified in this Regulation or in the pertinent installation UN Regulations Nos. 53, 74 and 86.2.2. "Lamps of different types" means lamps, which differ in such essential respects as:(a) The trade name or mark:(i) Lamps bearing the same trade name or mark but produced by different manufacturers are considered as being of different types;(ii) Lamps produced by the same manufacturer differing only by the trade name or mark are considered as being of the same type.(b) The characteristics of the optical system (levels of intensity, light distribution angles, inclusion or elimination of components capable of altering the optical effects by reflection, refraction, absorption and/ or deformation during operation, etc.);(c) The category or categories of light source(s) used and/or the specific identification code (s) of the light source module(s);(d) The category of the lamp, if any;(e) The variable intensity control, if any;(f) The sequential activation of light sources, if any.Nevertheless, direction indicators capable of being activated in different modes (sequential or not) without any modification of the optical characteristics of the lamp do not constitute "Direction indicators of different types".A change of the colour of the light source or the colour of any filter does not constitute a change of type.The use of LED substitute light source(s) does not constitute a change of type. However, paragraph 4.8.1.6. applies.2.3. "Being part of the lamp" means to be physically included in the lamp body or to be external, separated or not, and declared by the applicant as part of the lamp system.3. Administrative provisions3.1. Application for approval3.1.1. The application for type approval shall be submitted by the holder of the trade name or mark or by his duly accredited representative.3.1.2. It shall be accompanied by:3.1.2.1. drawings, sufficiently detailed to permit identification of the type and, if applicable, of the category of the lamp, showing:(a) Geometrically in what position(s) the lamp (and if applicable the rear window) may be mounted on the vehicle;(b) The axis of observation to be taken as the axis of reference in the tests (horizontal angle H = 0°, vertical angle V = 0°); and the point to be taken as the centre of reference during the tests;(c) The limit of the apparent surface of the function(s);(d) The space reserved and the arrangement intended for the approval marking or the “Unique Identifier”;(e) In case of replaceable source module(s), the module(s) and the space reserved for the specific identification code(s) of the module(s) on the lamp and on the module(s);(f) In the case of an interdependent lamp system, the interdependent lamp or the combination of interdependent lamps that fulfil the relevant requirements.(g) In the case of a lamp that may incorporate a vehicle manufacturer logo, the vehicle manufacturer logo.3.1.2.2. A brief technical description stating in particular(a) In case of lamps with replaceable UN approved light sources, the category or categories of light source(s) prescribed;(b) In case of lamps with replaceable light source module(s), the light source module specific identification code;(c) The make and type of electronic light source control gear(s) or variable intensity control(s) if any, and if not being part of the lamp.(d) In the case the lamp shall also be approved with LED substitute light source(s) according to UN Regulation No. 128, the category or categories of light sources(s) prescribed;(e) In the case a device is intended to be mounted inside the vehicle, the technical description shall contain the specification of the optical properties (transmission, colour, inclination, etc.) of the rear window(s).(f) In the case of a lamp that may incorporate a vehicle manufacturer logo, the applicant shall confirm by a statement provided by the vehicle manufacturer that the vehicle manufacturer logo is the official appropriate one related to the brand name of the vehicle manufacturer or body manufacturer.3.1.2.3. However, in the case of a type of lamp differing only by the trade name or mark from a type that has already been approved it is sufficient that the application is accompanied by:3.1.2.3.1. A declaration by the lamp manufacturer that the type submitted is identical (except in the trade name or mark) with and has been produced by the same manufacturer as the type already approved, the latter being identified by its approval number;3.1.2.3.2.

In the case of a lamp with variable intensity, a concise description of the variable intensity control, an arrangement diagram and a specification of the characteristics of the system covering the entire range of intensity;3.1.2.5. In the case of lamps equipped with non-replaceable filament light source(s) or light source module(s) equipped with non-replaceable filament light source(s), a report, acceptable to the Authority responsible for type approval, that demonstrates compliance of these non-replaceable filament light source(s) with the requirements as specified in paragraph 4.11 of IEC 60809, Edition 4.3.1.2.6. At the discretion of the applicant, the description may specify if the lamp may be installed on the vehicle with different inclinations of the reference axis in respect to the vehicle reference planes and to the ground, or rotate around its reference axis; these different conditions of installation shall be indicated in the communication form.3.1.2.7. If not otherwise specified for the relevant lamp, the following samples:(a) Two complete samples of the lamp.If application is made for the approval of lamps which are not identical but are symmetrical and suitable for mounting one on the left and one on the right side of the vehicle, the two samples submitted may be identical and be suitable for mounting only on the right or only on the left side of the vehicle;(b) For a variable-intensity lamp, a sample of the variable intensity control or a generator providing the same signal(s).3.1.2.8. In the case of a lamp which is intended to be mounted inside the vehicle, a sample plate or sample plates (in case of different possibilities) having the equivalent optical properties corresponding to those of the actual rear window(s).3.2. Approval3.2.1. A separate approval is required for each lamp listed in paragraph 1.3.2.2. When two or more lamps are part of the same unit of grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps, approval may be granted only if each of these lamps satisfy the provisions set out in this Regulation or in another Regulation. Lamps not satisfying the provisions of any of those Regulations shall not be part of such unit of grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps.3.2.3. If the type of lamp(s) submitted for approval in pursuance of paragraph 3.1. meets the requirements of this Regulation, approval shall be granted. All the devices of an interdependent lamp system must be submitted for type approval by the same applicant.3.2.3.1. Notice of approval or of extension or refusal or withdrawal of approval or production definitely discontinued of a type of a lamp pursuant to this Regulation shall be communicated to the Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement which apply this Regulation, by means of a form conforming to the model in Annex 1;3.2.3.2. An approval number shall be assigned to each type of lamp approved and shall be indicated for each lamp in the communication form in Annex 1.A contracting party may assign the same approval number to light-signalling devices or systems incorporating a number of lamps but shall not assign the same number to another type of lamp of the same function.3.2.4.

Photometric characteristics:For the approval of this device, the illuminated area to be occupied by the plate is determined. The illuminated areas are grouped in the following categories:- Category 1a: illuminated area of at least 340 x 240 mm (Figure A3-IX).- Category 1b: illuminated area of at least 520 x 120 mm (Figure A3-X).- Category 1c: illuminated area of at least 255 x 165 mm, for use on agricultural or forestry tractors, (Figure A3-XI).- Category 2a: illuminated area of at least 330 x 165 mm (Figure A3-XII).- Category 2b: illuminated area of at least 440 x 220 mm (Figure A3-XIII).- Category 1: illuminated area of at least 130 x 240 mm for use on a vehicle of category L (Figure A3-XIV).- Category 2: illuminated area of at least 200 x 280 mm for use on a vehicle of category L (Figure A3-XV).At each of the points of measurement for the categories of illuminated areas shown in paragraph 3. of Annex 3, the luminance B shall be at least(a) For categories 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a and 2b equal to 2.5∙10⁰ cd/m²;(b) For categories 1 and 2 equal to 2∙10⁰ cd/m².The gradient of the luminance between the values B1 and B2, measured at any two points 1 and 2 selected from among those mentioned above, shall not exceed 2 x Bo/cm, Bo being the minimum luminance measured at the various points, i.e.:5.11.3. Minimum or maximum area of apparent surface:Not applicable.5.11.4. Measurement:The luminance measurements shall be made on a diffuse colourless surface with known diffuse reflection factor. The diffuse colourless surface shall have the dimensions of the registration plate or the dimension exceeding one measuring point. Its centre shall be placed in the centre of the positions of the measuring points.This (These) diffuse colourless surface(s) shall be placed in the position normally occupied by the registration plate and 2 mm in front of its holder.Luminance measurements shall be made perpendicularly to the surface of the diffuse colourless surface with the tolerance of 5° in each direction at the points shown in paragraph 3. of Annex 3, each point representing a circular area of 25 mm in diameter. The measured luminance shall be corrected for the diffuse reflection factor 1.0.5.11.5. Additional specific requirements:5.11.5.1. The devices for the illumination of rear-registration plates of categories 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a and 2b shall be so constructed that the whole surface of the plate will be visible within the angles given in Part D of Annex 2.5.11.5.2. Incidence of the lightThe manufacturer of the rear registration plate illuminating lamp shall specify one or more or a field of positions in which the device is to be fitted in relation to the space for the registration plate; when the lamp is placed in the position(s) specified by the manufacturer the angle of incidence of the light on the surface of the plate does not exceed 82° at any point on the surface to be illuminated, this angle being measured from the extremity of the device's illuminating area which is furthest from the surface of the plate. If there is more than one part, the foregoing requirement shall apply only to that part of the plate intended to be illuminated by the device concerned.When the device has one outer edge of the illuminating surface that is parallel to the surface of the registration plate, the extremity of the illuminating surface of the device which is furthest from the surface of the plate is the middle point of the edge of the illuminating surface, which is parallel to the plate and is furthest from the surface of the plate.The device must be so designed that no light is emitted directly towards the rear, with the exception of red light if the device is combined or grouped with a rear lamp.5.11.6. Failure provisions:See paragraph 4.6.5.11.7. Colour:The colour of the light emitted shall be sufficiently colourless not to cause any appreciable change in the colour of the registration plate.6.

The field of visibility of the registration plate when mounted on the vehicle remains subject to the relevant national regulations.3. The angles shown take account of the partial occultation caused by the rear registration plate illuminating lamp. They must be adhered to in the directions in which there is most occultation. The rear registration plate illuminating lamp must be such as to reduce the areas partly occulted to the minimum strictly necessary.Annex 3Standard light distributions1.

(On the vehicle, it is horizontal, parallel to the median longitudinal plane of the vehicle and oriented in the required direction of visibility.) It passes through the centre of reference. Unless specified otherwise, the values shown in Figures A3-I to A3-XV give, for the various directions of measurement, the minimum intensities as a percentage of the minimum intensities required.However, in the case where one of the following lamps is intended to be installed at a mounting height (using the H plane specified by the manufacturer) equal to or less than 750 mm above the ground, the photometric intensity is verified only up to an angle of 5° downwards:- (a) Front and rear direction indicators lamps;- (b) Front and rear position lamps;- (c) Front and rear end-outline marker lamps;- (d) Parking lamps;- (e) Stop lamps of category S1, S2 and MS;- (f) Side marker lamps;1.2. Within the field of light distribution schematically shown as a grid, the light pattern should be substantially uniform, i.e. the light intensity in each direction of a part of the field formed by the grid lines shall meet at least the lowest minimum value being shown on the grid lines surrounding the questioned direction as a percentage.However, in the case of reversing lamps, if visual examination of a lamp appears to reveal substantial local variations of intensity, a check shall be made to ensure that no intensity measured between two of the directions of measurement referred to above is below 50 per cent of the lower minimum intensity of the two prescribed for these directions of measurement.2.

Tests shall generally be carried out in accordance with the methods set out in this Regulation.2.2.2. In any test of conformity carried out by the manufacturer, equivalent methods may be used with the consent of the competent authority responsible for approval tests. The manufacturer is responsible for proving that the applied methods are equivalent to those laid down in this Regulation.2.2.3. The application of paragraphs 2.2.1. and 2.2.2. requires regular calibration of test apparatus and its correlation with measurements made by a competent authority.2.2.4. In all cases the reference methods shall be those of this Regulation, particularly for the purpose of administrative verification and sampling.2.3. Nature of samplingSamples of lamps shall be selected at random from the production of a uniform batch. A uniform batch means a set of lamps of the same type, defined according to the production methods of the manufacturer.The assessment shall in general cover series production from individual factories. However, a manufacturer may group together records concerning the same type from several factories, provided these operate under the same quality system and quality management.2.4. Measured and recorded photometric and colorimetric characteristicsThe sampled lamp shall be subjected to photometric measurements for the minimum values at the points listed in Annex 3.and the required chromaticity coordinates.2.5. Criteria governing acceptabilityThe manufacturer is responsible for carrying out a statistical study of the test results and for defining, in agreement with the competent authority, criteria governing the acceptability of his products in order to meet the requirements laid down for verification of conformity of products in paragraph 6.1. of this Regulation.The criteria governing the acceptability shall be such that, with a confidence level of 95 per cent, the minimum probability of passing a spot check in accordance with Annex 5 would be 0.95.Annex 5Minimum requirements for sampling by an inspector1. General provisions1.1. The conformity requirements shall be considered satisfied from a mechanical and a geometric standpoint, in accordance with the requirements of this Regulation, if any, if the differences do not exceed inevitable manufacturing deviations.1.2. With respect to photometric performance, the conformity of mass-produced lamps shall not be contested if, when testing the photometric performances set forth in paragraph 4.8. of this Regulation of any lamp chosen at random:(a) No measured value deviates from the values prescribed in paragraph 6.1.3. of this Regulation.(b) If, in the case of a lamp equipped with a replaceable light source and if results of the test described above do not meet the requirements, tests on lamps shall be repeated using another standard light source.1.3. Lamps with apparent defects are disregarded.1.4. The chromaticity coordinates shall be complied when tested under conditions of paragraph 4.9. of this Regulation.2. First samplingFour lamps are selected at random. The first sample of two is marked A, the second sample of two is marked B.2.1. The conformity of mass-produced lamps shall not be contested if the deviation of any specimen of samples A and B (all four lamps) is not more than 20 per cent.In the case, that the deviation of both lamps of sample A is not more than 0 per cent the measurement can be terminated.2.2. The conformity of mass-produced lamps shall be contested if the deviation of at least one specimen of samples A or B is more than 20 per cent.The manufacturer shall be requested to bring its production in line with the requirements (alignment) and a repeated sampling according to paragraph 3 shall be carried out within two months' time after the notification. The samples A and B shall be retained by the Technical Service until the entire CoP process is finished.3. First repeated samplingA sample of four lamps is selected at random from stock manufactured after alignment. The first sample of two is marked C, the second sample of two is marked D.3.1. The conformity of mass-produced lamps shall not be contested if the deviation of any specimen of samples C and D (all four lamps) is not more than 20 per cent.In the case, that the deviation of both lamps of sample C is not more than 0 per cent the measurement can be terminated.3.2.

More than 20 per cent but the deviation of all specimens of these samples is not more than 30 per cent.The manufacturer shall be requested again to bring its production in line with the requirements (alignment).A second repeated sampling according to paragraph 4 shall be carried out within two months' time after the notification. The samples C and D shall be retained by the Technical Service until the entire COP process is finished.3.2.2. One specimen of samples C or D is more than 30 per cent. In this case the approval shall be withdrawn and paragraph 5 shall be applied.4. Second repeated samplingA sample of four lamps is selected at random from stock manufactured after alignment. The first sample of two is marked E, the second sample of two is marked F.4.1. The conformity of mass-produced lamps shall not be contested if the deviation of any specimen of samples E and F (all four lamps) is not more than 20 per cent. In the case, that the deviation of both lamps of sample E is not more than 0 per cent the measurement can be terminated.4.2. The conformity of mass-produced lamps shall be contested if the deviation of at least one specimen of samples E or F is more than 20 per cent. In this case the approval shall be withdrawn and paragraph 5 shall be applied.5. Approval withdrawnAs required according to paragraphs 4.1. and 4.2., approval shall be withdrawn according to paragraph 3.6. of this Regulation.Annex 6Heat resistance test for rear fog lamps and daytime running lamps1. The lamp shall be subjected to a one-hour test of continuous operation following a warm-up period of 20 minutes. The ambient temperature shall be 23 °C ± 5 °C. The light source used shall be a light source of the category specified for the lamp and shall be supplied with a current at a voltage such that it gives the specified average power at the corresponding test voltage. However, for lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament light sources and other), the test shall be made with the light sources present in the lamp, in accordance with paragraph 5.4.5. of this Regulation.2. Where only the maximum power is specified, the test shall be carried out by regulating the voltage to obtain a power equal to 90 per cent of the specified power. The specified average or maximum power referred to above shall in all cases be chosen from the rated voltage(s) of 6, 12 or 24 V at which it reaches the highest value; for lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources the test conditions set in paragraph 5.4.5. or 5.9.5. of this Regulation shall be applied.2.1. In the case of light sources operated by an electronic control gear to obtain variable luminous intensity, the test shall be carried out under the conditions given at minimum 90 per cent of the higher luminous intensity.3. After the lamp has been stabilized at the ambient temperature, no distortion, deformation, cracking or colour modification shall be perceptible. In case of doubt the intensity of light shall be measured according to paragraph 5. of this Regulation. At that measurement the values shall reach at least 90 per cent of the values obtained before the heat resistance test on the same lamp.Annex 7Arrangement of approval markingsThe following approval marking arrangements are given merely as examples and any other arrangement made in accordance with paragraph 3.3. of this Regulation is acceptable.1.

For lamps (functions) using light source technologies other than incandescent technology only:1.2.1. For reversing lamps and manoeuvring lamps, the luminous intensities measured after 1 minute and after 10 minutes of operation, shall comply with the minimum and maximum requirements. The luminous intensity distribution after 1 and after 10 minutes of operation may be calculated from the luminous intensity distribution measured after photometric stability has occurred by applying at each test point the ratio of luminous intensities measured at HV:(a) After 1 minute;(b) After 10 minutes; and(c) After photometric stability has occurred.1.2.2. For all other lamps, the luminous intensities measured after 1 min and after 30 minutes of operation shall comply with the minimum and maximum requirements.Operation of direction indicator lamps shall be done in flashing mode (f = 1.5 Hz, duty factor 50 per cent).The luminous intensity distribution after 1 min of operation may be calculated from the luminous intensity distribution after 30 min of operation by applying at each test point the ratio of luminous intensities measured at HV after 1 min and after 30 min of operation.2. Additional test requirements2.1. Depending on the light source technology, the luminous intensity distribution is, in addition to paragraph 1, checked for compliance at the point in time listed in Table A8-1.The luminous intensity distributions at a point in time may be calculated from the luminous intensity distribution measured according to paragraph 1 by applying at each test point the ratio of luminous intensities measured at the reference coordinate of the lamp (function) under consideration.Table A8-1Points in time for additional testingLamp (function) | Time after switch ON (seconds) | Reference coordinateRear-registration plate illumination | 4 | any measurement point given in Annex 3Direction Indicator Cat 1, 2, 11, 12 | 0.2 | HVDirection Indicator Cat 5, 6 | 0.2 | H5, V0Front and rear position | 4 | HVStop | 0.2 | HVEnd-outline marker | 4 | HVReversing | 0.2 | HVManoeuvring | N.A. | N.A.Rear fog | 4 | HVParking | 4 | HVDaytime running | 4 | HVSide marker | 4 | HV2.1.1.
