Annex 4 PHOTOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS 1. Measurement methods 1.1. During photometric measurement stray reflections shall be avoided by appropriate marking. 1.2. In case the results of measurements should be challenged, measurements shall be carried out in such a way as to meet the following requirements: 1.2.1. The distance of measurement shall be such that the law of the inverse of the square of the distance is applicable; 1.2.2. The measuring equipment shall be such that the angular aperture of the receiver viewed from the reference centre of the lamp is comprised between 10 minutes and 1 degree; 1.2.3. The intensity requirement for a particular direction of observation shall be deemed to be satisfied if that requirement is met in a direction deviating by not more than one-quarter of a degree from the direction of observation. 1.3. The direction H = 0 degrees and V = 0 degrees corresponds to the reference axis. (On the vehicle it is horizontal, perpendicular to the median longitudinal plane of the vehicle and oriented in the required direction of visibility). It passes through the centre of reference. 2. Tables of light distribution 2.1. SM1 category of side-marker lamps 2.1.1. Minimum values: 0.6 cd at any point other than the reference axis, at which it shall be 4.0 cd. 2.1.2.

For SM1 and SM2 category of side-marker lamps it may be sufficient to check only five points selected by the test authority. 2.4. Within the field of light distribution shown above as a grid the light pattern should be substantially uniform, i.e. the light intensity in every direction within a part of the field formed by the grid lines shall meet at least the lowest minimum value applicable to the respective grid lines. 3. Photometric measurement of lamps equipped with several light sources The photometric performance shall be checked: 3.1. For non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps and other): with the light sources present in the lamp, in accordance with paragraph 9.2. of this Regulation. 3.2. For replaceable filament lamps: when equipped with mass production filament lamps at 13.5V or 28V, the luminous intensity values produced shall lie between the maximum limit given in this Regulation and the minimum limit of this Regulation increased according to the permissible deviation of the luminous flux permitted for the type of filament lamp chosen, as stated in Regulation No. 37 for production filament lamps; alternatively, a standard filament lamp may be used in turn, in each of the individual positions, operated at its reference flux, the individual measurements in each position being added together.
Annex 5 COLOUR OF LIGHT EMITTED: LIGHTS FOR TRICHROMATIC COORDINATES Amber: limit towards yellow: y < 0.429 limit towards red: y > 0.398 limit towards white: z < 0.007 Red: limit towards yellow: y < 0.335 limit towards purple: z < 0.008 For checking these colorimetric characteristics, a source of light at a colour temperature of 2,856 K, corresponding to illuminant A of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE), shall be used. However, for lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources, (filament lamps and other), the colorimetric characteristics should be verified with the light sources present in the lamp, in accordance with paragraph 9.2. of this Regulation.
Annex 6 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION CONTROL PROCEDURES 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 side- marker lamps shall not be contested if, when testing photometric performances of any side-marker lamp chosen at random and equipped with a standard filament lamp, or when the side-marker lamps are equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps or other) , and when all measurements are made at 6.75 V, 13.5 V or 28.0 V respectively: 1.2.1. no measured value deviates unfavourably by more than 20 % from the values prescribed in this Regulation. 1.2.2. If, in the case of a side-marker lamp equipped with a replaceable light source and if results of the test described above do not meet the requirements, tests on side-marker lamps shall be repeated using another standard filament lamp. 1.3. The chromaticity coordinates shall be complied with when the side-marker lamp is equipped with a standard filament lamp, or for side-marker lamps equipped with non- replaceable light sources (filament lamps or other), when the colorimetric characteristics are verified with the light source present in the side-marker lamp. 2. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR VERIFICATION OF CONFORMITY BY THE MANUFACTURER For each type of side-marker lamp 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 and colorimetric characteristics. 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 side-marker lamps shall be selected at random from the production of a uniform batch. A uniform batch means a set of side-marker lamps 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 side-marker lamp shall be subjected to photometric measurements for the minimum values at the points listed in annex 4 and the chromaticity coordinates listed in annex 5, provided for in the Regulation. 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 11.1. 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.
Annex 7 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR SAMPLING BY AN INSPECTOR 1. GENERAL 1.1. The conformity requirements shall be considered satisfied from a mechanical and a geometric standpoint, in accordance with the requirements of this Regulation, if any, if the differences do not exceed inevitable manufacturing deviations. 1.2.
