9. GTB is willing to support IWG-SLR to deliver Stage 2
GTB 122nd Session (Taiwan November 2016) committed to :
dedicate, with top priority, its expert working groups to deliver some “first ideas” for Stage 2 for September 2017
develop a plan (to propose to GRE IWG-SLR ) to align the Chinese technical requirements with the UN “stage 2” technical requirements.
organise a one day GTB open session on Simplification of Lighting Regulations (SLR) Stage 2 on Wednesday 15 Feb 2017 at The Hague (NL)
offer to present the GTB initial ideas for Stage 2 during the GTB reporting session at GRE-77
continue to work to define a proposal as a possible basis for GRE-IWG-SLR to start work on Stage 2 simplification in September 2017

11. Basis for Stage 2 of the GRE IWG-SLR Simplification Plan
Regulatory Hierarchy
Basis for Stage 2 of the GRE IWG-SLR Simplification Plan
Initial ideas discussed at GTB-122
Level The legal act establishing the administrative requirements
Examples:
(New UN “Top level” Regulation)??
UN R-0 (IWVTA)
EU Framework Directive
China GB
FMVSS108
Etc…….
Administrative Requirements COP / Markings /
Mandatory functions / devices – Signalling – RID – Retro-Reflectors
Rules for optional functions / devices ( are they only allowed when included in a list?)
Definitions (Should they be collected here?)
Level Technical Installation (Could become a GTR)
R48 /R53 / R86
Technical Requirements – Installation
On-Road Performance of the whole vehicle – Signalling / Forward Visibility / Glare to other road users.
Position, apparent surface, Geometric Visibility, Headlamp aim -----
Level 3 - Technical Devices and systems (Could become a GTR)
UN Regulations / SAE Jxxx/ GB Standards etc.
Technical Requirements for Devices + Light Sources (Mandatory and Optional) and objective testing methods for each device or system.
Photometry / Mechanical / Thermal /
