In the corresponding cases the device shall be marked as follows: On headlamps meeting the requirements of this Regulation which are so designed that the filament of the passing beam shall not be lit simultaneously with that of any other lighting function with which it may be reciprocally incorporated: an oblique stroke (/) shall be placed behind the passing lamp symbol in the approval mark. On headlamps meeting the requirements of Annex 4 to this Regulation only when supplied with a voltage of 6 V or 12 V, a symbol consisting of the number 24 crossed out by an oblique cross (X), shall be placed near the filament lamp holder. 4.2.2.8. The two digits of the approval number which indicate the series of amendments in force at the time of issue of the approval and, if necessary, the required arrow may be marked close to the above additional symbols. 4.2.2.9. The marks and symbols referred to in Paragraphs 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 above shall be clearly legible and be indelible even when the device is fitted in the vehicle.
4.3. Arrangement of the approval mark 4.3.1. Independent lamps Annex 5, Figures 1 to 9, to this Regulation gives examples of arrangements of the approval marks with the above-mentioned additional symbols. 4.3.2. Grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps 4.3.2.1. Where grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps have been found to comply with the requirements of several Regulations, a single international approval mark may be affixed, consisting of a circle surrounding the letter "E" followed by the distinguishing number of the country which has granted the approval, and an approval number. This approval mark may be located anywhere on the grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps, provided that: 4.3.2.1.1. It is visible after their installaiton; 4.3.2.1.2. No part of the grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps that transmits light can be removed without at the same time removing the approval mark. 4.3.2.2. The identification symbol for each lamp appropriate to each Regulation under which approval has been granted, together with the corresponding series of amendments incorporating the most recent major technical amendments to the Regulation at the time of issue of the approval and, if necessary, the required arrow shall be marked: 4.3.2.2.1. Either on the appropriate light-emitting surface, 4.3.2.2.2. Or in a group, in such a way that each of the grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps may be clearly identified (see three possible examples in Annex 5). 4.3.2.3. The size of the components of a single approval mark shall not be less than the minimum size required for the smallest of the individual marks by the Regulation under which approval has been granted. 4.3.2.4. An approval number shall be assigned to each type approved. The same Contracting Party may not assign the same number to another type of grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps covered by this Regulation. 4.3.2.5. Annex 5, Figure 10, to this Regulation gives examples of arrangements of approval marks for grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps with all the above- mentioned additional symbols. 4.3.3. Lamps, the lens of which is used for different types of lamps and which may be reciprocally incorporated or grouped with other lamps The provisions laid down in Paragraph 4.3.2 above are applicable. 4.3.3.1. In addition, where the same lens is used, the latter may bear the different approval marks relating to the different types of headlamps or units of lamps, provided that the main body of the headlamp, even if it cannot be separated from the lens, also comprises the space described in Paragraph 3.2 above and bears the approval marks of the actual functions. If different types of headlamps comprise the same main body, the latter may bear the different approval marks. 4.3.3.2. Annex 5, Figure11 , to this Regulation gives examples of approval marks relating to the above case. 5. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS 5.1. Each sample shall conform to the specifications set forth in Paragraphs 6 and 7 below. 5.2. Headlamps shall be so made as to retain their prescribed photometric characteristics and to remain in good working order when in normal use, in spite of the vibrations to which they may be subjected. 5.3. Headlamps shall be fitted with a device enabling them to be so adjusted on the vehicle as to comply with the rules applicable to them. Such a device need not be fitted on components in which the reflector and the diffusing lens cannot be separated provided the use of such units is confined to vehicles on which the headlamps setting can be adjusted by other means. Where a headlamp providing a driving beam and a headlamp providing a passing beam, each equipped with its own filament lamp, are assembled to form a composite unit, the adjusting device shall enable each optical system individually to be duly adjusted. However, this shall not apply to headlamps assemblies whose reflectors are indivisible. For this type of assembly, the requirements of Paragraph 6 shall apply. 5.4. The components by which the filament lamp is fixed to the reflector shall be so made that, even in darkness, the filament lamp can be fixed in no position but the correct one. The filament lamp-holder shall conform to the dimensional characteristics as given in the following data sheets of IEC Publication 61-2: 5.5. Headlamps designed to satisfy the requirements both of countries in which traffic moves on the right and of those in which it moves on the left may be adapted for traffic on a given side of the road either by an appropriate initial adjustment when the vehicle is fitted out or by selective setting by the driver. Such initial adjustment or selective setting shall consist, for example, of fixing either the optical unit at a given angle on the vehicle or the filament lamp at a given angle in relation to the optical unit. In all cases, only two precisely differentiated setting positions, one for right-hand and one for left-hand traffic, shall be possible, and the design shall preclude inadvertent shifting of the headlamp from one position to another or its setting in an intermediate position. Where two different setting positions are provided for the filament lamp, the components attaching the filament lamp to the reflector must be so designed and manufactured that, in each of its two settings, the filament lamp will be held in position with the precision required for headlamps intended for traffic on only one side of the road. 5.6. Complementary tests shall be done according to the requirements of Annex 4 to ensure that in use there is no excessive change in photometric performance. 5.7. Conformity with the requirements of Paragraphs 5.2 to 5.5 shall be verified visually and, where necessary, by a test fitting. 5.8 If the lens of the headlamp is of plastic material, tests shall be done according to the requirements of Annex 7. 6. ILLUMINATION 6.1. Headlamps shall be so made that with suitable R2 and/or HS1 filament lamp(s) they provide adequate illumination without dazzle in the case of passing beam and good illumination in the case of the driving beam. 6.1.1. The illumination produced by the headlamp shall be checked on a vertical screen set at a distance of 25 m in front of the headlamp and at right angles to its axis (see annex 6). 6.1.2. The headlamp shall be checked by means of (a) standard (etalon) filament lamp(s) designed for a rated voltage of 12 V, any selective-yellow filters 6/ being replaced by geometrically identical uncoloured filters with a transmission factor of at least 80%. During the checking of the headlamp the voltage at the terminals of the filament lamp shall be regulated so as to obtain the following characteristics: 6.1.3. The dimensions determining the position of the filament(s) and the shield inside the standard filament lamp are shown on the relevant data sheet of Regulation No. 37. 6.1.4. The bulb of the standard filament lamp shall be of such optical shape and quality that it does not cause any reflection or refraction adversely affecting the light distribution. Compliance with this requirement shall be checked by measuring the light distribution obtained when a standard headlamp is fitted with the standard (etalon) filament lamp. 6.2. The passing beam must produce a sufficiently sharp "cut-off" to permit satisfactory adjustment with its aid. The "cut-off" must be a horizontal straight line on the side opposite to the direction of the traffic for which the headlamp is intended; on the other side it should be horizontal or within an angle of 15 degrees above the horizontal. The headlamp shall be so adjusted that: 6.2.1. In the case of headlamps designed to meet the requirements of right-hand traffic, the "cut-off" on the left half of the screen7/ is horizontal and, in the case of headlamps designed to meet the requirements of left-hand traffic, the "cut-off" on the right half of the screen is horizontal; 6.2.2. This horizontal part of the "cut-off" is situated on the screen 25 cm below the outline of the horizontal plane passing through the focus of the headlamp (See Annex 6 to this Regulation); 6.2.3. The screen is in the position indicated in Annex 68/. When so adjusted, the headlamp shall, if it is intended to provide a passing beam and a driving beam, comply with the requirements referred to in Paragraphs 6.3 and 6.4 below. If it is intended primarily to provide a passing beam, it need comply only with the requirements referred to in Paragraph 6.39/. Where a headlamp so adjusted does not meet the requirements referred to in Paragraphs 6.3 and 6.4, its adjustment may be changed, provided that the axis of the beam or the point of intersection HV specified Annex 6 to this Regulation is not laterally displaced by more than 1 degrees (= 44 cm) to the right or left10/. To facilitate adjustment by means of the "cut-off", the headlamp may be partially occulted in order to sharpen the "cut-off". If the headlamp is designed solely to provide a driving beam, it shall be so adjusted that the area of maximum illumination is centred on the point of intersection of the lines hh and vv. Such a headlamp need meet only the requirements referred to in Paragraph 6.5. If, in the case of a headlamp designed to satisfy the requirements of this Regulation with respect to the passing beam only, the focal axis diverges appreciably from the general direction of the beam, lateral adjustment shall be effected to the manner which best satisfies the requirements for illumination at points 75 and 50. The limit of non-adjustment of 1? to the right or left is not incompatible with vertical non-adjustment. The latter is limited only by the requirements of Paragraph 6.4. 6.3. The illumination produced on the screen by the passing beam shall meet the requirements of the following Table11/: It is understood that, where the flux of the standard filament lamp used for measurement is other than 450 lumens, the measurements as taken will be corrected proportionally to the rates of the fluxes. There shall be no lateral variations detrimental to good visibility in any of the zones, I, II, III and IV. Headlamps designed to meet the requirements of both right-hand and left-hand traffic must, in each of the two setting positions of the optical unit or of the filament lamp, meet the requirements set forth above for the corresponding traffic system. 6.4. The illumination values in zones "A" and "B" */ as shown in Figure PIC in Annex 6 shall be checked by the measurement of the photometric values of points 1 to 8 on this Figure; these values shall lie within the following limits: 1 + 2 + 3 > 0.3 lux, and 4 + 5 + 6 > 0.6 lux, and 0.7 lux > 7 > 0.1 lux and 0.7 lux > 8 > 0.2 lux These new values shall not be required for headlamps which have been approved before the application date of Supplement 3 to the 01 series of amendments to this Regulation (2 December 1992) nor to the extensions of such approvals. 6.5. In the case of headlamps with an adjustable reflector the requirements of Paragraphs 6.2 to 6.4 are applicable for each mounting position indicated according to Paragraph 2.1. For verification the following procedure shall be used: 6.5.1. Each applied position is realized on the test goniometer with respect to a line joining the centre of the light source and point HV on the aiming screen. The adjustable reflector is then moved into such a position that the light pattern on the screen corresponds to the aiming prescriptions of Paragraphs 6.1, 6.2 and/or 6.4; 6.5.2. With the reflector initially fixed according to Paragraph 6.5.1, the headlamp must meet the relevant photometric requirements of Paragraphs 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4; 6.5.3. Additional tests are made after the reflector has been moved vertically +/- 2 degrees or at least into the maximum position, if less than 2 degrees , from its initial position by means of the headlamps adjusting device. Having re-aimed the headlamp as a whole (by means of the goniometer for example) in the corresponding opposite direction the light output in the following directions shall be controlled and lie within the required limits: passing beam: points HV and 75R (75L respectively); driving beam: points HV (percentage of Emax). 6.5.4. If the applicant has indicated more than one mounting position, the procedure of Paragraphs 6.5.1 to 6.5.3 shall be repeated for all the other positions; 6.5.5. If the applicant has not asked for special mounting positions, the headlamp shall be aimed for measurements of Paragraphs 6.2 to 6.4 with the headlamps adjusting device in its mean position. The additional tests of Paragraph 6.5.3 shall be made with the reflector moved into its extreme positions (instead of +/- 2 degrees ) by means of the headlamps adjusting device. 6.6. Measurements of the illumination produced on the screen by the driving beam shall be taken with the same headlamp adjustment as for measurements under 6.3 above, or, in the case of a headlamp providing a driving beam only, in accordance with the final Paragraph of 6.2. In the case where more than one light source is used to provide the main beam, the combined functions shall be used to determine the maximum value of the illumination (Emax). The illumination produced on the screen by the driving beam shall meet the following requirements: The point of intersection HV of the lines hh and vv shall be situated within the isolux 90% of maximum illumination. This maximum value shall not less than 32 lux. Starting from point of intersection HV, horizontally to the right and left, illumination shall be not less than 16 lux up to a distance of 1.125 m and not less than 4 lux up to a distance of 2.25 m. (Where the flux of the standard filament lamp used for measurements is other than 700 lumens, the measurements as taken must be corrected proportionally to the ratio of the fluxes.) 6.7. The screen illumination values mentioned under 6.3 and 6.5 above shall be measured by means of a photo-electric cell, the useful area of which shall be contained within a square of 65 mm side. 7. GAUGING OF DISCOMFORT The discomfort caused by the passing beam of headlamps shall be gauged.11/ 8. STANDARD HEADLAMP A headlamp shall be deemed to be a standard headlamp if it 8.1.

In every inspection, the test books and production survey records shall be presented to the visiting inspector. 9.4.2. The inspector may take samples at random to be tested in the manufacturer's laboratory. The minimum number of samples may be determined in the light of the results of the manufacturer's own checks. 9.4.3. When the quality level appears unsatisfactory or when it seems necessary to verify the validity of the tests carried out in the application of paragraph 9.4.2. above, the inspector shall select samples, to be sent to the technical service which has conducted the type approval tests, using the criteria of Annex 8. 9.4.4. The competent authority may carry out any test prescribed in this Regulation. These tests will be on samples selected at random without causing distortion of the manufacturer's delivery commitments and in accordance with the criteria of Annex 8. 9.4.5. The competent authority shall strive to obtain a frequency of inspection of once every two years. However, this is at the discretion of the competent authority and their confidence in the arrangements for ensuring effective control of the conformity of production.

Annex 7 Appendix 2 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT OF THE DIFFUSION AND TRANSMISSION OF LIGHT 1. EQUIPMENT (See Figure) The beam of a collimator K with a half divergence is limited by a diaphragm Dr with an opening of 6mm against which the sample stand is placed. A convergent achromatic lens L2, corrected for spherical aberration, links the diaphragm Dr with the receiver R; the diameter of the lens L2 shall be such that it does not diaphragm the light diffused by the sample in a cone with a half top angle of beta/2 = 14 degrees . An annular diaphragm DD with angles is placed in an image focal plane of the lens L2. The non-transparent central part of the diaphragm is necessary in order to eliminate the light arriving directly from the light source. It shall be possible to remove the central part of the diaphragm from the light beam in such a manner that it returns exactly to its original position. The distance L2 Dr and the focal length F21/ of the lens L2 shall be so chosen that the image of Dr completely covers the receiver R. When the initial incident flux is referred to 1,000 units, the absolute precision of each reading shall be better than 1 unit. 2. MEASUREMENTS The following readings shall be taken:

Under these operation conditions the fan pattern obtained shall be 170 mm +/- 50 mm in diameter on the surface exposed to deterioration, at a distance of 380 mm +/- 10 mm from the nozzle. 1.2. Test mixture The test mixture shall be composed of: Silica sand of hardness 7 on the Mohr scale, with a grain size between 0 and 0.2 mm and an almost normal distribution, with an angular factor of 1.8 to 2; Water of hardness not exceeding 205 g/m3 for a mixture comprising 25 g of sand per litre of water. 2. Test The outer surface of the lamp lenses shall be subjected once or more than once to the action of the sand jet produced as described above. The jet shall be sprayed almost perpendicular to the surface to be tested. The deterioration shall be checked by means of one or more samples of glass placed as a reference near the lenses to be tested. The mixture shall be sprayed until the variation in the diffusion of light on the sample or samples measured by the method described in Appendix 2, is such that: depsilonlambdataua Several reference samples may be used to check that the whole surface to be tested has deteriorated homogeneously.
Annex 7 - Appendix 4 ADHESIVE TAPE ADHERENCE TEST 1. PURPOSE This method allows to determine under standard conditions the linear force of adhesion of an adhesive tape to a glass plate. 2. PRINCIPLE Measurement of the force necessary to unstick an adhesive tape from a glass plate at an angle of 90 degrees . 3. SPECIFIED ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS The ambient conditions shall be at 23 degrees C +/- 5 degrees C and 65 degrees C +/- 15% relative humidity (RH). 4. TEST PIECES Before the test, the sample roll of adhesive tape shall be conditioned for 24 hours in the specified atmosphere (See Para. 3 above). Five test pieces each 400 mm long shall be tested from each roll. These test pieces shall be taken from the roll after the first three turns were discarded. 5. PROCEDURE The test shall be under the ambient conditions specified in Paragraph 3. Take the five test pieces while unrolling the tape radially at a speed of approximately 300 mm/s, then apply them within 15 seconds in the following manner: Apply the tape to the glass plate progressively with a slight length-wise rubbing movement of the finger, without excessive pressure, in such a manner as to leave no air bubble between the tape and the glass plate. Leave the assembly in the specified atmospheric conditions for 10 minutes. Unstick about 25 mm of the test piece from the plate in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the test piece. Fix the plate and fold back the free end of the tape at 90 degrees . Apply force in such a manner that the separation line between the tape and the plate is perpendicular to this force an perpendicular to the plate. Pull to unstick at a speed of 300 mm/s +/- 30 mm/s and record the force required. 6. RESULTS The five values obtained shall be arranged in order and the median value taken as the result of the measurement. This value shall be expressed in Newtons centimetre of width of the tape.

Independent lamps Annex 4, figures 1 to 9, to this Regulation gives examples of arrangements of the approval mark with the above-mentioned additional symbols. 5.3.2. Grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps 5.3.2.1. Where grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps have been found to comply with the requirements of several Regulations, a single international approval mark may be affixed, consisting of a circle surrounding the letter "El" followed by the distinguishing number of the country which has granted the approval, and an approval number. This approval mark may be located anywhere on the grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamp s, provided that: 5.3.2.1.1. it is visible after their installation; 5.3.2.1.2. No part of the grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps that transmits light can be removed without at the same time removing the approval mark. 5.3.2.2. The identification symbol for each lamp appropriate to each Regulation under which approval has been granted, together with the corresponding series of amendments incorporating the most recent major technical amendments to the Regulation at the time of issue of the approval and, if necessary, the required arrow shall be marked: 5.3.2.2.1. Either on the appropriate light-emitting surface, 5.3.2.2.2. Or in a group, in such a way that each of the grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps may be clearly identified (see four possible examples in annex 4). 5.3.2.3. The size of the components of a single approval mark shall not be less than the minimum size required for the smallest of the individual marks by the Regulation under which approval has been granted. 5.3.2.4. An approval number shall be assigned to each type approved. The same Contracting Party may not assign the same number to another type of grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps covered by this Regulation. 5.3.2.5. Annex 4, figure 10, to this Regulation gives examples of arrangements of approval marks for grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps with all the above- mentioned additional symbols. 5.3.3. Lamps, the lens of which is used for different types of headlamps and which may be reciprocally incorporated or grouped with other lamps The provisions laid down in paragraph 5.3.2 above are applicable. 5.3.3.1. In addition, where the same lens is used, the latter may bear the different approval marks relating to the different types of headlamps or units of lamps, provided that the main body of the headlamp, even if it cannot be separated from the lens, also comprises the space described, in paragraph 4.2 above and bears the approval mark of the actual functions. If different types of headlamps comprise the same main body, the latter may bear the different approval marks. 5.3.3.2. Annex 4, figure 11, to this Regulation gives examples of arrangements of approval marks relating to the above case. 6. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS 6.1. Each sample shall conform to the specifications set forth in this paragraph 6 and in paragraphs 7 and 8 below, and, if necessary, paragraph 9. 6.2. SB units shall be so made as to, retain their prescribed photometric characteristics and to remain in good working order when in normal use, despite the vibrations to which they may be subjected. 6.2.1. Headlamps shall be fitted with a device enabling them to be so adjusted on the vehicle as to comply with the rules applicable to them. Such a device need not be fitted on the SB headlamp inserts if the use of such inserts is confined to vehicles on which the headlamp setting can be adjusted by other means. Where an SB headlamp providing a driving beam and an SB headlamp providing a passing beam are assembled as exchangeable subunits to form a composite unit the adjusting device shall enable each SB unit individually to be duly adjusted. 6.2.2. However, this will not apply to headlamp assemblies whose reflectors are indivisible. For this type of assembly the requirements of paragraph 8 of this Regulation shall apply. In the case where more than one light source is used to provide the main beam the combined main-beam functions will be used to determine the maximum value of the illumination (E max). 6.3. The terminals shall only be in electrical connection with the appropriate filament or filaments and shall be robust and firmly fixed to the unit. 6.4. If the units are circular they shall provide all the physical features and electrical connections shown in one of the plates SB2 - SB7 in annex 4 and shall be made to the dimensions in that plate. 6.5. SB units designed to meet the requirements both of countries where the traffic keeps to the right and of those where the traffic keeps to the left, may be adapted for traffic on a given side of the road either by an appropriate initial setting when fitted on the vehicle, or by selective setting by the user. Such initial or selective setting may consist, for example, of fixing the angular setting of the unit on the vehicle. In all cases, only two precise setting positions, one for right-hand and one for left-hand traffic, shall be possible, and the design shall preclude inadvertent shifting of the unit from the one position to the other or its setting in an intermediate position. Conformity with the requirements of, this paragraph shall be verified visually and, where necessary, by a test fitting. 6.6. Complementary tests shall be done according to the requirements of annex 5 to ensure that in use there is no excessive change in photo metric performance. 6.7 If the lens of the headlamp is of plastic material, tests shall be done according to the requirements of annex 6. 7. RATED VALUES 7.1. The values of rated voltage are: 6, 12 and 24 volts4/. 7.2. The power consumed at the test voltage by any submitted SB unit shall not exceed the rated wattage marked on the unit, by more than the percentage specified in table 1. No lower limit is specified for the tolerance on wattage but the minimum illumination values specified in table 2 of paragraph 8.8 must be obtained. Table 1

8. ILLUMINATION 6/ 8.1. SB units shall be so made as to give adequate illumination without dazzle for the passing beam, and good illumination for the driving beam. 8.2. The illumination produced by the unit shall be checked on a vertical screen set at a distance of 25 m in front of the unit and .at right angles to its axis (see annex 4, plates SB8a and SB8b). 8.3. The passing beam must produce a sufficiently sharp "cut-off" to permit satisfactory alignment with its aid. The "cut-off" must be a horizontal line on the side opposite to the direction of the traffic for which the unit is intended; on the other side it should be horizontal or within an angle of 15 degrees above the horizontal. 8.4. The SB unit shall be aimed so that on passing beam: 8.4.1. In the case of units designed to meet the requirements of right-hand traffic, the "cut-off" on the left half of the screen 7/ is horizontal and, in the case of units designed to meet the requirements of left-hand traffic, the "cut-off" on the right half of the screen is horizontal; 8.4.2. This horizontal part of the "cut-off" is situated, on the screen, 25 cm below the level of the horizontal plane passing through the focus of the unit (see annex 4, plates SB8a and SB8b); 8.4.3. The screen is in the position indicated in annex 4, plates SB8a and SB8b.8/ 8.5. When so aimed, the unit need, if its approval is sought solely for a passing beam, 9/ meet only the requirements referred to in paragraph 8.8 below; if it is intended to provide both a passing beam and a driving beam it shall meet the requirements referred to in paragraphs 8.8 and 8.9. 8.6. Where an SB unit so aimed does not meet the requirements referred to in paragraphs 8.8 and 8.9 below, its alignment may be changed, provided that the axis of the beam is not laterally displaced by more than 1 degrees (= 44 cm) to the right or left. 10/ To facilitate alignment by means of the "cut-off", the unit may be partially occulted in order to sharpen the "cut-off". 8.7. In the case of an SB unit providing a driving beam only, it shall be so aimed that the area of maximum illumination is centred on the point of intersection HV of the lines hh and vv; such a unit need meet only the requirements referred to in paragraph 8.9. 8.8. The illumination produced on the screen by the passing beam shall meet the following requirements: Table 2

Annex 6 - Appendix 2 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT OF THE DIFFUSION AND TRANSMISSION OF LIGHT 1. EQUIPMENT (see figure) The beam of a collimator K with a half divergence beta/2 = 17.4 x 10-4 rd is limited by a diaphragm DT with an opening of 6 nun against which the sample stand is placed. A convergent achromatic lens L2 corrected for spherical aberrations, links the diaphragm Dr ith the receiver R; the diameter of the lens L2 shall be such that it does not diaphragm he light diffused by the sample in a cone with a half top angle of beta/2 = 14degrees. An annular diaphragm DD with angles alpha/2 = 1 degree and alpha/2max = 12degrees is placed in an image focal plane of the lens L2. The non-transparent central part of the diaphragm is necessary in order to eliminate the light arriving directly from the light source. It shall be possible to remove the central part of the diaphragm from the light beam in such a manner that it returns exactly to its original position. The distance L2 DT and the focal length F21/ of the lens L2 shall be so chosen that the image of DT completely covers the receiver R.

PROCEDURE The test shall be under the ambient-conditions specified in paragraph 3. Take the five test pieces while unrolling the tape radially at a speed of approximately 300 mm/s, then apply them within 15 seconds in the following manner: Apply the tape to the glass plate progressively with a slight lengthwise rubbing movement of the finger, without excessive pressure, in such a manner as to leave no air bubble between the tape and the glass plate. Leave the assembly in the specified atmospheric conditions for 10 minutes. Unstick about 25 mm of the test piece from the plate in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the test piece. Fix the plate and fold back the free end of the tape at 90 degrees. Apply force in such a manner that the separation line between the tape and the plate is perpendicular to this force and perpendicular to the plate. Pull to unstick at a speed of 300 mm/s +/- 30 mm/s and record the force required. 6. RESULTS The five values obtained shall be arranged in order and the median value taken as the result of the measurement. This value shall be expressed in Newtons per centimetre of width of the tape.

CHANGE OF THE VERTICAL POSITION OF THE CUT-OFF LINE With respect to the verification of the change in vertical positions of the cut-off line under the influence of heat, the following procedure shall be applied: One of the headlamps of sample A after sampling procedure in Figure 1 of this annex shall be tested according to the procedure described in paragraph 2.1. of annex 5 after being subjected three consecutive times to the cycle described in paragraph 2.2.2. of annex 5. The headlamps shall be considered as acceptable if delta r does not exceed 1.5 mrad. If this value exceeds 1.5 mrad but is not more than 2.0 mrad, the second headlamp of sample A shall be subjected to the test after which the mean of the absolute values recorded in both samples shall not exceed 1.5 mrad. However, if this value of 1.5 mrad on sample A is not complied with, the two headlamps of sample B shall be subjected to the same procedure and the value of delta r for each of them shall not exceed 1.5 mrad.

Lamps, the lens of which is used for different types of headlamps and which may be reciprocally incorporated or grouped with other lamps The provisions laid down in paragraph 4.3.2. above are applicable. 4.3.3.1. In addition where the same lens is used, the latter may bear the different approval marks relating to the different types of headlamps or units of lamps, provided that the main body of the headlamp, even if it cannot be separated from the lens, also comprises the space described in paragraph 3.2. above and bears the approval marks of the actual functions. If different types of headlamps comprise the same main body, the latter may bear the different approval marks. 4.3.3.2. Annex 3, Figure 11, of this Regulation gives examples of arrangements of approval marks corresponding to that case. B. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR HEADLAMPS 7/ 5. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS 5.1. Each sample shall conform to the specifications set forth in paragraphs 6 to 8 below. 5.2. Headlamps shall be so made as to retain their prescribed photometric characteristics and to remain in good working order when in normal use, in spite of the vibrations to which they may be subjected. 5.2.1. Headlamps shall be fitted with a device enabling them to be so adjusted on the vehicle as to comply with the rules applicable to them. Such a device need not be fitted on components in which the reflector and the lens cannot be separated provided the use of such components is confined to vehicles on which the headlamp setting can be adjusted by other means. Where a headlamp providing a driving beam and a headlamp providing a passing beam, each equipped with its own filament lamp, are assembled to form a composite unit, the adjusting device shall enable each optical system individually to be duly adjusted. However, this shall not apply to headlamp assemblies whose reflectors are indivisible. For this type of assembly, the requirements of paragraph 6 shall apply. 5.3. The components by which the filament lamp(s) is/are fixed to the reflector shall be so made that, even in darkness, the filament lamp(s) can be fixed in no other position but the correct one.8/ The filament lamp-holder shall conform to the dimensional characteristics as given in the following data sheets of IEC Publication 61-2:

5.4. Headlamps designed to satisfy the requirements of both right-hand and left-hand traffic may be adapted for traffic on a given side of the road either by an appropriate initial setting when fitted on the vehicle or by selective setting by the user. Such initial or selective setting may consist, for example, of fixing either the optical unit at a given angle on the vehicle or the filament lamp at a given angle in relation to the optical unit. In all cases, only two precise setting positions, one for right-hand and one for left-hand traffic, shall be possible, and the design shall preclude inadvertently shifting of the headlamp from one position to the other or its setting in an intermediate position. Where two different setting positions are provided for the filament lamp, the components attaching the filament lamp to the reflector must be so designed and made that, in each of its two settings, the filament lamp will be held in position with the precision required for headlamps intended for traffic on only one side of the road. Conformity with the requirements of this paragraph shall be verified visually and, where necessary, by a test fitting. 5.5. On headlamps designed to provide alternately a driving beam and a passing beam, any mechanical, electromechanical or other device incorporated in the headlamp for switching from one beam to the other 9/ must be so constructed that: 5.5.1. the device is strong enough to be worked 50,000 times without suffering damage despite the vibration to which it may be subjected in normal use; 5.5.2. in the case of failure it is possible to obtain the passing beam automatically; 5.5.3. either the passing beam or the driving beam can always be obtained without any possibility of the mechanism stopping in between the two positions; 5.5.4. the user cannot, with ordinary tools, change the shape or position of the moving parts. 5.6. Complementary tests shall be done according to the requirements of Annex 5 to ensure that in use there is no excessive change in photometric performance. 5.7. If the lens of the headlamp is of plastic material, tests shall be done according to the requirements of Annex 6.
6. ILLUMINATION 6.1. General provisions 6.1.1. Headlamps shall be so made that with suitable H1, H2, H3, HB3, HB4, H7, H8, H9, HIR1 and/or HIR2 filament lamps they provide adequate illumination without dazzle in the case of the passing beam and good illumination in the case of the driving beam. 6.1.2. The illumination produced by the headlamp shall be checked on a vertical screen set at a distance of 25m in front of the headlamp and at right angles to its axis (see Annex 4). 6.1.3. The headlamps shall be checked by means of (a) standard (reference) filament lamp(s) designed for a rated voltage of 12V, any selective-yellow filters10/ being replaced by geometrically identical uncoloured filters with a transmission factor of at least 80%. During the checking of the headlamp the voltage at the terminals of the filament lamp must be regulated so as to obtain the following characteristics:

The headlamp shall be deemed satisfactory if the photometric requirements are met with at least one standard (reference) 12V filament lamp which may be supplied with the headlamp. 6.1.4. The dimensions determining the position of the filament inside the standard filament lamp are shown on the relevant data sheet of Regulation No. 37. 6.1.5. The bulb of the standard filament lamp must be of such optical shape and quality that it does not cause any reflection or refraction adversely affecting the light distribution. Compliance with this requirement must be checked by measuring the light distribution obtained when a standard headlamp is fitted with the standard (reference) filament lamp. 6.2. Provisions regarding passing beams 6.2.1. The passing beam must produce a sufficiently sharp "cut-off" to permit satisfactory adjustment with its aid. The "cut-off" must be a horizontal straight line on the side opposite to the direction of traffic for which the headlamp is intended; on the other side it must extend neither beyond the broken line HV H1 H4 formed by a straight line HV H1 standing at an angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal and a straight line H1 H4 lying 25cm above the straight line hh, nor beyond the straight line HV H3, inclined at an angle of 15 degrees above the horizontal (see Annex 4). A "cut-off" extending beyond both line HV H2 and line H2 H4 and resulting from a combination of the above two possibilities shall in no circumstances be permitted. 6.2.2. The headlamp shall be so aimed that: 6.2.2.1. in the case of headlamps designed to meet the requirements of right-hand traffic, the "cut-off" on the left half of the screen 11/ is horizontal and, in the case of headlamps designed to meet the requirements of left-hand traffic, the "cut-off" on the right half of the screen is horizontal; 6.2.2.2. this horizontal part of the "cut-off" is situated on the screen 25cm below the line hh (see Annex 4); 6.2.2.3. the "elbow" of the "cut-off" is on line vv. 12/ 6.2.3. When so aimed, the headlamp need, if its approval is sought solely for a passing beam,13/ comply only with the requirements referred to in paragraphs 6.2.5. to 6.2.7. below; if it is intended to provide both a passing beam and a driving beam it shall comply with the requirements referred to in paragraphs 6.2.5. to 6.2.7. and 6.3. 6.2.4. Where a headlamp so aimed does not meet the requirements referred to in paragraphs 6.2.5. to 6.2.7. and 6.3., its alignment may be changed, provided that the axis of the beam is not laterally displaced by more than 1 degrees (=44cm) to the right or left.14/ To facilitate alignment by means of the "cut-off", the headlamp may be partially occulted in order to sharpen the "cut-off". 6.2.5. The illumination produced on the screen by the passing beam shall meet the following requirements:

6.2.6. There shall be no lateral variations detrimental to good visibility in any of the zones I, II, III, and IV. 6.2.7. The illumination values in zones "A" and "B" as shown in Figure C in Annex 4 shall be checked by the measurement of the photometric values of points 1 to 8 on this Figure; these values shall lie within the following limits: 1+2+3 > 0.3 lux, and 4+5+6 > 0.6 lux, and 0.7 lux > 7 > 0.1 lux and 0.7 lux > 8 > 0.2 lux */ These new values shall not be required for headlamps which have been approved before the application date of Supplement 4 to the 04 series of amendments to this Regulation (13 January 1993) nor to the extensions of such approvals. 6.2.8. Headlamps designed to meet the requirements of both right-hand and left-hand traffic must, in each of the two setting positions of the optical unit or of the filament lamp, meet the requirements set forth above for the corresponding direction of traffic. 6.3. Provisions regarding driving beams 6.3.1. In case of a headlamp designed to provide a driving beam and a passing beam, measurements of the illumination produced on the screen by the driving beam shall be taken with the same headlamp alignment as for measurements under paragraphs 6.2.5. to 6.2.7. above; in the case of a headlamp proving a driving beam only, it shall be so adjusted that the area of maximum illumination is centred on the point of intersection of the lines hh and vv; such a headlamp need meet only the requirements referred to in paragraph 6.3. 6.3.2. The illumination produced on the screen by the driving beam shall meet the following requirements: 6.3.2.1. the point of intersection (HV) of the lines hh and vv shall be situated within the isolux representing 80% of maximum illumination. This maximum value (EM) shall be not less than 48lux. The maximum value shall in no case exceed 240 lux; moreover, in the case of a combined passing and driving headlamp, this maximum value shall not be more than 16 times the illumination measured for the passing beam at point 75R (or 75L). 6.3.2.1.1. The maximum luminous intensity (IM) of the driving beam expressed in thousands of candelas shall be calculated by means of the formula: IM = 0.625 EM 6.3.2.1.2. the reference mark (IM) indicating this maximum intensity and referred to in paragraph 4.2.2.7. above shall be obtained by means of the formula: this value shall be rounded to whichever is the nearest of the following: 7.5., 10, 12.5, 17.5, 20, 25, 27.5, 30, 37.5, 40, 45, 50. 6.3.2.2. Starting from point HV, horizontally to the right and left the illumination shall be not less than 24 lux up to a distance of 1.125m and not less than 6 lux up to a distance of 2.25m. 6.4. In the case of headlamps with an adjustable reflector, the requirements of paragraphs 6.2. and 6.3. are applicable for each mounting position indicated according to paragraph 2.1.3. For verification, the following procedure shall be used: 6.4.1. each applied position is realized on the test goniometer with respect to a line joining the centre of the light source and point HV on the aiming screen. The adjustable reflector is then moved into such a position that the light pattern on the screen corresponds to the aiming prescriptions of paragraphs 6.2.1. to 6.2.2.3. and/or 6.3.1.; 6.4.2. with the reflector initially fixed according to paragraph 6.4.1., the headlamp must meet the relevant photometric requirements of paragraphs 6.2. and 6.3.; 6.4.3. additional tests are made after the reflector has been moved vertically +/- 2 degrees or at least into the maximum position, if less than 2 degrees, from its initial position by means of the headlamps adjusting device. Having re-aimed the headlamp as a whole (by means of the goniometer for example) in the corresponding opposite direction, the light output in the following directions shall be controlled and lie within the required limits: passing beam: points HV and 75R (75L respectively); driving beam: IM and point HV (percentage of IM). 6.4.4. If the applicant has indicated more than one mounting position, the procedure of paragraphs 6.4.1. to 6.4.3. shall be repeated for all the other positions; 6.4.5. if the applicant has not asked for special mounting positions, the headlamp shall be aimed for measurements of paragraphs 6.2. and 6.3. with the headlamps adjusting device in its mean position. The additional tests of paragraph 6.4.3. shall be made with the reflector moved into its extreme positions (instead of +/- 2 degrees) by means of the headlamps adjusting device. 6.5. The screen illumination values referred to in paragraphs 6.2.5. to 6.2.7. and 6.3. above shall be measured by means of a photoreceptor, the effective area of which shall be contained within a square of 65mm side. 7. REQUIREMENTS CONCERNING COLOURED LENSES AND FILTERS 7.1. Approval may be obtained for headlamps emitting either white or selective-yellow light with a filament lamp. Expressed in CIE thrichromatic coordinates, the corresponding colorimetric characteristics are as follows: Selective-yellow filter (screen or lens) Limit towards red y >0.138 + 0.580 x Limit towards green y-x + 0.966 Limit towards spectral value y0.78 when determined by means of a source of light with a colour temperature of 2,856K.15/ 7.2.

Annex 2 VERIFICATION OF CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION OF HEADLAMPS EQUIPPED WITH H1, H2, H3 HB3, HB4, H7, H8, H9, HIR1 and/or HIR2 FILAMENT LAMPS 1. GENERAL 1.1. The conformity requirements shall be considered satisfied from a mechanical and geometric standpoint, if the differences do not exceed inevitable manufacturing deviations within the requirements of this Regulation. 1.2. With respect to photometric performances, the conformity of mass produced headlamps shall not be contested if, when testing photometric performances of any headlamp chosen at random and equipped with a standard filament lamp: 1.2.1. no measured value deviates unfavourably by more than 20% from the values prescribed in this Regulation. For values B50L (or R) and zone III, the maximum unfavourable deviation may be respectively: B50L (or R): 0.2lx equivalent 20% 0.3lx equivalent 30% Zone III: 0.3lx equivalent 20% 0.45lx equivalent 30% 1.2.2. or if 1.2.2.1. for the passing beam, the values prescribed in this Regulation are met at HV (with a tolerance of + 0.2lx) and related to that aiming at least one point of each area delimited on the measuring screen (at 25m) by a circle 15cm in radius around points B50L (or R) 1/ (with a tolerance of + 0.1lx ), 75R (or L), 50V, 25R, 25L, and in the entire area of zone IV which is not more than 22.5cm above line 25R and 25L; 1.2.2.2. and if, for the driving beam, HV being situated within the isolux 0.75 Emax, a tolerance of +20% for maximum values and -20% for minimum values is observed for the photometric values at any measuring point specified in paragraph 6.3.2. of this Regulation. 1.2.3. If the results of the tests described above do not meet the requirements, the alignment of the headlamp may be changed, provided that the axis of the beam is not displaced laterally by more than 1 degrees to the right or left. 14/ 1.2.4. If the results of the tests described above do not meet the requirements, tests on the headlamps shall be repeated using another standard filament lamp. 1.3. With respect to the verification of the change in vertical position of the cut-off line under the influence of heat, the following procedure shall be applied: One of the sampled headlamps shall be tested according to the procedure described in paragraph 2.1. of Annex 5 after being subjected three consecutive times to the cycle described in paragraph 2.2.2. of Annex 5. The headlamp shall be considered as acceptable if delta r does not exceed 1.5mrad. If this value exceeds 1.5mrad but is not more than 2.0mrad, a second headlamp shall be subjected to the test after which the mean of the absolute values recorded on both samples shall not exceed 1.5mrad. 1.4. The chromaticity coordinates shall be complied with when the headlamp is equipped with a filament lamp set to Standard A colour temperature. The photometric performance of a headlamp emitting selective yellow light when equipped with a colourless filament lamp shall be the values contained in this Regulation multiplied by 0.84. 2. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR VERIFICATION OF CONFORMITY BY THE MANUFACTURER For each type of headlamp the holder of the approval mark shall carry out at least the following tests, at appropriate intervals. The tests shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation. If any sampling shows non-conformity with regard to the type of test concerned, further samples shall be taken and tested. The manufacturer shall take steps to ensure the conformity of the production concerned. 2.1. Nature of tests Tests of conformity in this Regulation shall cover the photometric characteristics and the verification of the change in vertical position of the cut-off line under the influence of heat. 2.2. Methods used in tests 2.2.1. Tests shall generally be carried out in accordance with the methods set out in this Regulation. 2.2.2. In any test of conformity carried out by the manufacturer, equivalent methods may be used with the consent of the competent authority responsible for approval tests. The manufacturer is responsible for proving that the applied methods are equivalent to those laid down in this Regulation. 2.2.3. The application of paragraphs 2.2.1. and 2.2.2. requires regular calibration of test apparatus and its correlation with measurements made by a competent authority. 2.2.4. In all cases the reference methods shall be those of this Regulation, particularly for the purpose of administrative verification and sampling. 2.3. Nature of sampling Samples of headlamps shall be selected at random from the production of a uniform batch. A uniform batch means a set of headlamps of the same type, defined according to the production methods of the manufacturer. The assessment shall in general cover series production from individual factories. However, a manufacturer may group together records concerning the same type from several factories, provided these operate under the same quality system and quality management.
2.4. Measured and recorded photometric characteristics The sampled headlamp shall be subjected to photometric measurements at the points provided for in the Regulation, the reading being limited to points Emax, HV1/ HL, HR2/ in the case of the driving beam, and to points B50L (or R), HV, 50V, 75R (or L) and 25L (or R) in the case of the passing beam (see Figure in Annex 4). 2.5. Criteria governing acceptability The manufacturer is responsible for carrying out a statistical study of the test results and for defining, in agreement with the competent authority, criteria governing the acceptability of his products in order to meet the specifications laid down for verification of conformity of products in paragraph 12.1. of this Regulation. The criteria governing the acceptability shall be such that, with a confidence level of 95%, the minimum probability of passing a spot check in accordance with Annex 7 (first sampling) would be 0.95.

TEST FOR STABILITY OF PHOTOMETRIC PERFORMANCE The tests shall be carried out in a dry and still atmosphere at an ambient temperature of 23 degrees C +/- 5 degrees C, the complete headlamp being mounted on a base representing the correct installation on the vehicle. 1.1. Clean headlamp The headlamp shall be operated for 12 hours as described in subparagraph 1.1.1. and checked as prescribed in subparagraph 1.1.2. 1.1.1. Test procedure The headlamp shall be operated for a period according to the specified time, so that: 1.1.1.1. (a) In the case where only one lighting function (driving or passing beam) is to be approved, the corresponding filament is lit for the prescribed time, 2/ (b) In the case of a reciprocally incorporated passing lamp and driving lamp (dual filament lamp or two filament lamps): If the applicant declares that the headlamp is to be used with a single filament lit 1/ at a time, the test shall be carried out in accordance with this condition, activating 2/ each specified function successively for half the time specified in paragraph 1.1.; In all other cases, 1/ 2/ the headlamp shall be subjected to the following cycle until the time specified is reached: 15 minutes, passing-beam filament lit 5 minutes, all filaments lit; (c) In the case of grouped lighting functions all the individual functions shall be lit simultaneously for the time specified for individual lighting functions (a), also taking into account the use of reciprocally incorporated lighting functions (b), according to the manufacturer's specifications. 1.1.1.2. Test voltage The voltage shall be adjusted so as to supply 90 % of the maximum wattage specified in the Regulation for filament lamps (Regulation No. 37). The applied wattage shall in all cases comply with the corresponding value of a filament lamp of 12 V rated voltage, except if the applicant for approval specifies that the headlamp may be used at a different voltage. In the latter case, the test shall be carried out with the filament lamp whose wattage is the highest that can be used. 1.1.2. Test results 1.1.2.1. Visual inspection Once the headlamp has been stabilized to the ambient temperature, the headlamp lens and the external lens, if any, shall be cleaned with a clean, damp cotton cloth.

The measurement of the variation in the cut-off line position as described above shall be carried out by any method giving acceptable accuracy and reproducible results. 2.2. Test results 2.2.1. The result in milliradians (mrad) shall be considered as acceptable for a passing lamp, only when the absolute value Delta rI = | r3 - r60 | recorded on the headlamp is not more than 1.0 mrad (Delta rI < 1.0 mrad). 2.2.2. However, if this value is more than 1.0 mrad but not more than 1.5 mrad (1.0 mrad < DrI < 1.5 mrad) a second headlamp shall be tested as described in paragraph 2.1. after being subjected three consecutive times to the cycle as described below, in order to stabilize the position of mechanical parts of the headlamp on a base representative of the correct installation on the vehicle: Operation of the passing beam for one hour, (the voltage shall be adjusted as specified in paragraph 1.1.1.2.), Period of rest for one hour.

The manufacturer is responsible for proving that the applied methods are equivalent to those laid down in this Regulation. 2.2.3. The application of paragraphs 2.2.1. and 2.2.2. requires regular calibration of test apparatus and its correlation with measurements made by a competent authority. 2.2.4. In all cases the reference methods shall be those of this Regulation, particularly for the purpose of administrative verification and sampling. 2.3. Nature of sampling Samples of headlamps shall be selected at random from the production of a uniform batch. A uniform batch means a set of headlamps of the same type, defined according to the production methods of the manufacturer. The assessment shall in general cover series production from individual factories. However, a manufacturer may group together records concerning the same type from several factories, provided these operate under the same quality system and quality management.
