Supplement 5 → 6

Adopted at the WP.29 192nd sessionEntry into force 2024-09-22
What changed
  • In Annex 5, the figure “Example of a slow-moving vehicle plate” now shows “r = 5 – 18 mm” instead of “r = 15 – 18 mm”.
  • The figure “Example of a slow-moving vehicle plate” now has the number A5-VII instead of A5-VI. Paragraph 7.3. of Annex 5 now refers to the example of Figure A5-VII.
Why
  • By mistake, the 00 series of amendments had two figures with the number A5-VI.
  • During the simplification process, the value “r = 5 – 18 mm” inadvertently became “r = 15 – 18 mm”.

Value “r” in the example of a slow-moving vehicle plate (Annex 5, Figure A5-VII)

Figure number A5-VII and the reference in Annex 5, para. 7.3.

The figure “Example of a slow-moving vehicle plate” now has the number A5-VII. Before this supplement, it had the number A5-VI. Paragraph 7.3. of Annex 5 now refers to the example of Figure A5-VII instead of Figure A5-VI. The dimension values in this paragraph do not change.

The length of the base of the enclosed fluorescent triangle (class 1) or retro-reflective triangle (class 2) shall be: minimum 350 mm and maximum 365 mm. The minimum width of the light-emitting surface of the red retro-reflective border shall be 45 mm, the maximum width 48 mm. These features are illustrated in the example of Figure A5-VIA5-VII.

Q2Why it changed

Working party
GRE, 89th session (October 2023)

Reasons

  • By mistake, the text of the 00 series of amendments had two figures with the number A5-VI. The figure entitled “Example of a slow-moving vehicle plate” has been renumbered as Figure A5-VII. The wrong figure reference number in paragraph 7.3. of Annex 5 is corrected.

    “By mistake there are two “Figures A5-VI” in the text of the 00 series pf amendments to UN Regulation No. 150.”
    “The one entitled “Example of a slow-moving vehicle plate” has been renumbered as Figure A5-VII.”
    “1. A wrong figure reference number is corrected.”
  • During the simplification process, the value “r = 5 – 18 mm” inadvertently became “r = 15 – 18 mm”. The value “r = 5 – 18 mm” is the value in the 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 69, Annex 12. The proposal corrects this error.

    “3. During the simplification process, the value “r = 5 – 18 mm” (as in the 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 69, Annex 12), inadvertently became “r = 15 – 18 mm”. The proposal corrects this error.”
