- Reduction of “Collective Amendments” in future

- Simple concept for References- Simple handling in application of the

Regulation- Easy reading- Easy base for future amendments

Consequences / Benefitsof the common structure are:

17

Consequences / Benefitsof the common structure in examples:

A handling of approval marks:

HRD

5. APPROVAL….

5.4. In addition to this paragraph 5, further provisions for marking stated in paragraph 4 of the pertinent Regulation shall apply.

Regulation 7

4.1. GeneralThe applicant shall follow instructions stated in paragraph 5. in Part II of Regulation 48 (Horizontal Reference Document (HRD)). 4.2. In addition for the composition of the approval mark, the approval mark has also to include following additional symbol or symbols.

18

Consequences / Benefitsof the common structure in examples:

A handling of CoP

HRD11. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION

"11.1. The compliance with the requirements set forth in paragraph 10 of the pertinent Regulation and shall be verified as follows:

11.1.1The minimum requirements for conformity of production control procedures set forth in Annex 2 of Part II to this Regulation (Horizontal Reference Document (HRD)) shall be complied with;

11.1.2The minimum requirements for sampling by an inspector set forth in Annex of Part II to this Regulation (Horizontal Reference Document (HRD)) shall be complied with;

Annex 2MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR CONFORMITY OF

PRODUCTION CONTROL PROCEDURES ….

Annex 3MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR SAMPLING BY AN

INSPECTOR ….

Regulation 7

10. Conformity of production

The conformity of production procedures shall comply with those set out in the Agreement, Appendix 2 (E/ECE/324-E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.2), with the following requirements:

10.1. Lamps shall be so manufactured as to conform to the type approved under this regulation. The compliance with the requirements set forth in paragraphs 6 and 8 above shall be verified as follows:

10.1.1. The procedure of Paragraph 11 of Part II to Regulation 48 (Horizontal Reference Document (HRD)) shall apply.

10.2. In addition to paragraph 1.2.1. in Annex 2 of Part II to Regulation 48 (Horizontal Reference Document (HRD)) for the minimum values …..

Consequences

• Basis for a later investigation for reduction of the number of active Regulations

• Than significantly less complex amendments

20

GRE IWG SLR

Evaluation of this concept vs. Terms of Reference

• Minimize the number of parallel amendments

• Reduce the number of non-frozen regulations • Define essential requirements in performance

(technology neutral) terms

• Reduce the administrative burden • Reduce the burden on governments

• Reduce regulatory burden for industry

21

Follow-up

General question1. Is this concept of HRD acceptable? 2. Is this concept of the Regulations on the base of HRD

acceptable?3. Can IWG SLR confirm that IWG SLR can continue working on this

concept?
