Simplification of Lighting and Light-Signalling Regulations
A proposed work plan for discussion based upon the outcome of the IWG-SLR 7th 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.
Geoff Draper (GTB) 2
ObjectiveThe 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)

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
Geoff 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

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

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

Wider Global HarmonisationIn 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
