At their March 2019 session, the United Nations World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) adopted the complete Stage-1 regulatory simplification package developed by GRE, consisting of:
• Three new UN Regulations on lighting to replace the numerous existing regulations that will be phased out over a 24-month transitional period;
• Associated amendments to the existing UN device regulations so they can be frozen after the transitional period, and
• Updated versions of the installation regulations to refer to the new Regulations and to manage the movement of the common definitions into a single point of reference (UN Regulation № 48).
Although the numbers of the new regulations will be finally confirmed when they enter into force in October 2019 it is expected that they will be as follows:
UN Regulation № 148: Light Signalling Devices (LSD)
UN Regulation № 149: Road Illumination Devices (RID
UN Regulation № 150: Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD)
