1. Document: SLR-08-01 Date: 2016-01-06 Author: Geoff Draper (GTB) Simplification of Lighting and Light-Signalling Regulations A proposed work plan for discussion based upon the outcome of the IWG-SLR 7 th session Assumptions: the reality that the simplification work cannot progress without stopping the continual amendment of the existing regulations the existing regulations will not present significant barriers to innovation over the next 5 years In the case of an urgent need to introduce new technologies the exemption provisions in article 6 and Schedule 7 of the draft Revision 3 of the 1958 agreement (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2015/40) can be implemented. 1Geoff Draper (GTB)

2. Objective The ultimate target of the simplification is to produce regulations that will be stable over many years (i.e. not requiring regular amendment to accommodate advances in technology). To achieve this, the regulations will define minimum levels of performance to assure required safety levels (minimum road illumination, maximum glare levels, geometric visibility, minimum and maximum signal intensities, etc.) The Installation Regulation will: mandate which devices or systems shall be installed identify which devices or systems may be installed be based upon the principle that devices or systems shall only be installed if they are listed in the installation regulation and if they are type approved define the overall performance requirements to be achieved by the installed devices and systems The Device Regulations will provide: administrative requirements for type approval technical requirements for verification of performance (individually and when installed) 2Geoff Draper (GTB)

3. The Challenges Develop 3 new Regulations Forward Lighting Signal Lighting Retro-Reflective Devices Continue to operate the existing Regulations during development of the new regulations WP.29 is not willing to continue to process amendments to the existing regulations Urgent need to remove barriers to innovation 3Geoff Draper (GTB)

4. The Response Treat this as an opportunity to develop new regulations suitable for the future Prime objective of GTB Make the UN system more attractive to contracting parties Create a stable regulatory system (Legal certainty) Develop technical requirements suitable for global adoption as part of type approval systems as part of other certification systems objective requirements based upon research findings possible incorporation into GTR’s with proactive support of 1998 contracting parties 4Geoff Draper (GTB)

5. Develop new regulations suitable for the future Update and Freeze Existing Regulations  Special approval for innovations using the UN 1958 Agreement Rev 3 exemption provisions  Transitional period allowing type approvals to frozen regulations  Become “versions of Regulations” for IWVTA Reg. 0 5Geoff Draper (GTB)

6. Develop new regulations suitable for the future New Device & System Regulations Suited and open to new technologies Objective requirements suited for type approval, other certification systems and self certification Take the opportunity to incorporate improved performance requirements Technical requirements that could be compatible with the GTR approach Update and Freeze Existing Regulations  Special approval for innovations using the UN 1958 Agreement Rev 3 exemption provisions  Transitional period allowing type approvals to frozen regulations  Become “versions of Regulations” for IWVTA Reg. 0 6Geoff Draper (GTB)

7. Develop new regulations suitable for the future New Device & System Regulations Suited and open to new technologies Objective requirements suited for type approval, other certification systems and self certification Take the opportunity to incorporate improved performance requirements Technical requirements that could be compatible with the GTR approach New Version of R48 Establishing minimum levels of safety in terms of illumination, signal intensities, geometric visibility and glare. Clearly identify mandatory and optional features Technology neutral requirements Objective requirements that could be compatible with the GTR approach Update and Freeze Existing Regulations  Special approval for innovations using the UN 1958 Agreement Rev 3 exemption provisions  Transitional period allowing type approvals to frozen regulations  Become “versions of Regulations” for IWVTA Reg. 0 7Geoff Draper (GTB)

12. Wider Global Harmonisation In addition to simplifying the UN Regulations and removing unnecessary barriers to innovation there are wider benefits to be exploited Encouraging more countries to join the 1958 agreement Overcoming the objections of the US NHTSA to the current UN regulations that are deemed to be unsuitable as a basis for a self certification system and its enforcement. (note; current work by NHTSA and SAE to introduce ADB into the FMVSS108) Synchronisation of the technical requirements of the individual mandatory national standards with the UN regulations. (e.g. China, Republic of Korea, India, Brazil) Development of technical requirements that may provide a firm basis for development of GTR’s for lighting and light signalling.  GTB is able to support this work (under the direction of GRE) in conjunction with its global membership 12Geoff Draper (GTB)
