- Proposed by
- Expert from the Czech Republic
- Working party
- GRE, 79th session
Reasons
Headlamps of Class B of Regulation No. 112 are formally forbidden by Regulation No. 74. However, it is possible to approve a device that fulfils the limits for Class A headlamps as Class B under Regulation No. 112. For this reason, the restriction is only formal.

“Headlamps of Class B of Regulation No. 112 are formally forbidden according to the provisions of Regulation No. 74.”
“However, there is a possibility to approve a device, which fulfils limits for Class A headlamps, as a Class B in accordance to Regulation No. 112.”
“Thus, this is only a formal restriction.”
The proposal adds Class B headlamps for installation on mopeds into Regulation No. 74. It is not a technical change, but it clarifies and simplifies the approval procedure.
