It seems that representatives of industry remain sceptical as reported in the recently published DVN Report on the Future of Exterior Lighting. In its summary of the Regulatory section it states:
“The speed of lighting innovation is not synchronised with the speed of approval by regulatory bodies. Worldwide OEMs and Tier-1s expressed their concern about the speed of movement of regulation versus their investments necessary in innovations.”
This 16th DVN Regulatory Session will attempt to address these concerns by focussing on 3 items:
1. Status of activities to update the UNECE Regulations, the Chinese Mandatory Standards and the US FMVSS № 108
2. Outcome of the Joint DVN / GTB Forum held in February 2019 to brainstorm the priorities for regulatory development providing a basis for GTB Vision 2020–2030.
3. Associated research activities and initial results of a survey of DVN members concerning the introduction of new lighting functions into regulations.
The session will be divided in two parts:
Presentations
• GTB VP, Bart Terburg: GTB Vision to 2030 and Priorities
• GTB Secretary General, Davide Puglisi: Simplification and Updating of UN Regulations
• Chairman WG-SVP, Rainer Neumann: Status of Research of New Lighting Functions
