4. 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 front fog lamps 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 4 after being subjected three consecutive times to the cycle described in paragraph 2.2.2. of annex 4.
The front fog lamp shall be considered as acceptable if Dr does not exceed 3.0 mrad.
If this value exceeds 3.0 mrad but is not more than 4.0 mrad, the second front fog lamp of sample A shall be subjected to the test after which the mean of the absolute values recorded in both samples shall not exceed 3.0 mrad.
However, if this value of 3.0 mrad on sample A is not complied with, the two front fog lamps of sample B shall be subjected to the same procedure and the value of Dr for each of them shall not exceed 3.0 mrad.

2/(note not modified)
1/ Nothing in this Regulation shall prevent a Party to the Agreement applying this Regulation from prohibiting the combination of a front fog lamp incorporating a plastic lens, approved under this Regulation, with a mechanical headlamp-cleaning device (with wipers).
2/ If the lens cannot be detached from the main body of the front fog lamp, a space on the lens shall be sufficient.
3/ 1 for Germany, 2 for France, 3 for Italy, 4 for the Netherlands, 5 for Sweden, 6 for Belgium, 7 for Hungary, 8 for the Czech Republic, 9 for Spain, 10 for Yugoslavia, 11 for the United Kingdom, 12 for Austria, 13 for Luxembourg, 14 for Switzerland, 15 (vacant), 16 for Norway, 17 for Finland, 18 for Denmark, 19 for Romania, 20 for Poland, 21 for Portugal, 22 for the Russian Federation, 23 for Greece, 24 (vacant), 25 for Croatia, 26 for Slovenia, 27 for Slovakia, 28 for Belarus and 29 for Estonia, 30 (vacant), 31 for bosnia and Herzegovina, 32-36 (vacant), 37 for Turkey, 38-39 (vacant) and 40 for The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Subsequent numbers will be assigned to other countries in the chronological order in which they ratify or accede to the Agreement concerning the Adoption of Uniform Technical Prescriptions for Wheeled Vehicles, Equipment and Parts which can be Fitted and /or be Used on Wheeled Vehicles and the Conditions for Reciprocal Recognition of Approvals Granted on the Basis of these Prescriptions, and the numbers thus assigned shall be communicated to the Contracting Parties to the Agreement by the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
4/ Same definition as for "selective yellow", but with a different purity factor: the limit towards white shall be: y > -x + 0.940 and y > 0.440 instead of: y > -x + 0.966, as for selective yellow.
5/ This determination will be the subject of a recommendation to Administrations.
1/ Distinguishing number of the country which has granted/extended/refused/withdrawn approval (see approval provisions in the Regulation).
2/ Strike out what does not apply.
1/ Should two or more filaments be simultaneously lit when headlamp flashing is used, this shall not be considered as being normal use of the filaments simultaneously.When the tested headlamp is grouped and/or reciprocally incorporated with signalling lamps, the latter shall be lit for the duration of the test. In the case of a direction indicator lamp, it shall be lit in flashing operation mode with an on/off time ratio of approximately one to one.
2/ NaCMC represents the sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose, customarily referred to as CMC. The NaCMC used in the dirt mixture shall have a degree of substitution (DS) of 0.6-0.7 and a viscosity of 200-300 cP for a 2 % solution at 20 degrees C.
3/ The tolerance on quantity is due to the necessity of obtaining a dirt that correctly spreads out on all the plastic lens.
1/ For L2 it is recommended to use a focal distance of about 80 mm.
