The experts of IWG SLR introduced proposals for amendments to UN Regulations Nos. 48, 53, 74 and 86 that enabled a phasing out of the installation of older lamps/devices (respectively, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2023/3, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2023/4, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2023/5 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2023/6).

29. The experts from Czechia and Germany proposed to improve road safety by limiting the headlamp classes and to ensure the compatibility with the electric propulsion systems. (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2022/15). GRE generally supported this proposal, subject to correcting a reference in paragraph 11.12.6.
