Introduction (for information)

This Regulation combines the provisions of the individual UN Regulations Nos. 19, 98, 112, 113, 119 and 123 into a single regulation, and is the outcome of the WP.29 decision to simplify the UN lighting and light-signalling regulations based on the initial proposal by the European Union and Japan.

The objective of this Regulation is to increase the clarity, consolidate and streamline the complexity of requirements in UN Regulations Nos. 19, 98, 112, 113, 119 and 123 and prepare for the future transition to performance-based requirements, by reducing the number of regulations through an editorial exercise without changing any of the detailed technical requirements already in force up to the date of entry into force of this Regulation. This is reflected by the introduction of the original series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 149 and completes one of the objectives of the Working Party on Lighting 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. Scope

This Regulation applies to the following road illumination devices (lamps):

• Headlamps emitting a driving-beam and/or an asymmetrical passing-beam for vehicles of categories L, M, N and T
• Adaptive front-lighting systems (AFS) for vehicles of categories M, N and L3
• Adaptive Driving-Beam (ADB) for vehicles of category L3
• Headlamps emitting a driving-beam and/or a symmetrical passing-beam for vehicles of categories L and T
• Front fog lamps for vehicles of categories L3, L4, L5, L7, M, N and T
• Cornering lamps for vehicles of categories M, N and T.

2. Definitions

For the purposes of this Regulation:

2.1. The definitions given in the latest series of amendments to UN Regulations Nos. 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. "Road illumination devices (lamps) of different types" means road illumination devices which differ in such essential respects as:

2.2.1. The trade name or mark:

(a) Road illumination devices (lamps) bearing the same trade name or mark but produced by different manufacturers shall be considered as being of different types;

(b) Road illumination devices (lamps) produced by the same manufacturer differing only by the trade name or mark shall be considered as being of the same type;

2.2.2. The characteristics of the optical system;

2.2.3. The inclusion or elimination of components capable of altering the optical effects by reflection, refraction, absorption and/or deformation during operation;

2.2.4. The suitability for right-hand or left-hand traffic or for both traffic systems;

2.2.5. For headlamps: the kind of beam produced (passing-beam, driving-beam or both);

2.2.6. For AFS: the front-lighting function(s) produced (passing-beam, driving-beam and adaptive main-beam); the change of mode(s) and/or class(es) does not constitute a change of type;

2.2.7. The category of light source(s) used and/or the light source module specific identification code(s); the use of LED substitute light source(s) does not constitute a change of type, however, paragraph 4.6.1. applies;

2.2.8. However, a device intended for the installation on the left side of the vehicle and the corresponding device intended for the installation on the right side of the vehicle shall be considered to be of the same type.

2.3. “Main mode” means:

- in case of a headlamp: principal passing-beam if present, otherwise front fog lamp if present, otherwise driving-beam;

- in case of AFS: passing-beam mode which draws the highest total wattage.
