1/  and 4.3.1.2.          an approval number; 4.3.2.             an additional symbol consisting of letters A and R, mingled as shown in annex 2 to this Regulation. 4.3.3.             The first two digits of the approval number which indicate the most recent series of amendments to this Regulation may be placed in the vicinity of the additional symbol "AR". 4.3.4.             On lamps of which the visibility angles are asymmetrical with regard to the reference axis  in  a  horizontal  direction,  an  arrow  pointing  towards  the  side  on  which  the photometric specifications are met up to an angle of 45 degrees H. 4.4.                When two or more lamps are part of the same assembly of grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps, approval is granted only if each of these lamps satisfies the requirements of this Regulation or of another Regulation.  Lamps not satisfying any one of those Regulations shall not be part of such an assembly of grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps. 4.4.1.             Where   grouped,   combined   or   reciprocally   incorporated   lamps   comply   with   the requirements of several Regulations, a single international approval mark may be   applied, consisting of a circle surrounding the letter "E" followed by the distinguishing number of the country which has granted the approval, an approval number and, if necessary, the required arrow.  This approval mark may be placed anywhere on the grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps provided that; 4.4.1.1.          It is visible after their installation; 4.4.1.2.          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. 4.4.2.             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, shall be marked: 4.4.2.1.          Either on the appropriate light-emitting surface, 4.4.2.2.          Or in a group, in such a way that each lamp of the grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps may be clearly identified (see three possible examples in annex 2). 4.4.3.             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 a Regulation under which approval has been granted. 4.4.4.             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. 4.5.                The mark and symbol referred to in paragraphs 4.3.1. and 4.3.2. shall be indelible and shall be clearly legible even when the reversing lamp is mounted on the vehicle. 4.6.                Annex 2 gives examples of approval marks for a single lamp (figure 1) and for grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps (figure 2) with all the additional symbols referred to above, in which the letters A and R are mingled. 5.                  GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS 5.1.                Each sample shall conform to the specifications set forth in the paragraphs below. 5.2.                Reversing lamps shall be so designed and constructed that in normal use, despite the vibration to which they may then be subjected, they continue to function satisfactorily and retain the characteristics prescribed by this Regulation. 6.                  INTENSITY OF LIGHT EMITTED  6.1.               The intensity of the light emitted by each of the two samples shall be not less than the minima and not greater than the maxima specified below and shall be measured in relation to the axis of reference in the directions shown below (expressed in degrees of angle with the axis of reference). 6.2.                The intensity along the axis of reference shall be not less than 80 candelas. 6.3.                The intensity of the light emitted in all directions in which the light can be observed shall not exceed 300 candelas in directions in or above the horizontal plane; or 600 candelas in directions below the horizontal plane. 6.4.                In every other direction of measurement shown in annex 3 to this Regulation the luminous intensity shall be not less than the minima specified in that annex.  However, in the case where the reversing lamp is intended to be installed on a vehicle exclusively in a pair of devices, the photometric intensity may be verified only up to an angle of 30 degrees inwards where a photometric value of at least 25 cd shall be satisfied. This condition shall be clearly explained in the application for approval and relating documents (see paragraph 2 of this Regulation). Moreover, in the case where the type approval will be granted applying the condition above, a statement in paragraph 11 "Comments" of the communication form (see annex 1 to this Regulation), will inform that the device shall only be installed in a pair. 6.5.                In the case of a single lamp containing more than one light source, the lamp shall comply with the minimum intensity required when any one light source has failed and when all light sources are illuminated the maximum intensities shall not be exceeded. 7.                  TEST PROCEDURE 7.1.                All measurements shall be carried out with uncoloured standard filament lamps of the types prescribed for the device, adjusted to produce the normal luminous flux prescribed for those types of filament lamps. 7.1.1.             All measurements on lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps and other) shall be made at 6.75 V, 13.5 V or 28.0 V respectively. In the case of light sources supplied by a special power supply, the above test voltages shall be applied to the input terminals of that power supply.  The test laboratory may require from the manufacturer the special power supply needed to supply the light sources. 8.                  COLOUR OF LIGHT EMITTED The colour of the light emitted shall be white.  In case of doubt, the colour may be checked on the basis of the definition of the colour of white light given in annex 4 to this Regulation. 9.                  CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION The  conformity  of  production  procedures  shall  comply  with  those  set  out  in  the Agreement, Appendix 2 (E/ECE/324-E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.2), with the following requirements: 9.1.                Lamps approved under this regulation shall be so manufactured as to conform to the type approved by meeting the requirements set forth in paragraphs 6 and 8 above. 9.2.                The minimum requirements for conformity of production control procedures set forth in annex 5 to this Regulation shall be complied with. 9.3.                The minimum requirements for sampling by an inspector set forth in annex 6 to this regulation shall be complied with. 9.4.                The authority which has granted type approval may at any time verify the conformity control methods applied in each production facility.  The normal frequency of these verifications shall be once every two years. 10.                PENALTIES FOR NON-CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION 10.1.              The approval granted in respect of a type of reversing lamp pursuant to this Regulation may be withdrawn if the foregoing requirements are not complied with or if a reversing lamp bearing the mark referred to in paragraphs 4.3.1. and 4.3.2. does not conform to the type approved. 10.2.              If a Contracting Party to the Agreement which applies this Regulation withdraws an approval it has previously granted, it shall forthwith so notify the other Contracting Parties applying this Regulation by means of a communication form conforming to the model in annex 1 to this Regulation. 11.                 PRODUCTION DEFINITELY DISCONTINUED If the holder of the approval completely ceases to manufacture a type of reversing lamp approved in accordance with this Regulation, he shall so inform the authority which granted the approval.  Upon receiving the relevant communication that authority shall inform thereof the other Parties to the 1958 Agreement which apply this Regulation by means of a communication form conforming to the model in annex 1 to this Regulation. 12.                NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF TECHNICAL SERVICES RESPONSIBLE FOR CONDUCTING APPROVAL TESTS, AND OF ADMINISTRATIVEDEPARTMENTS The Parties to the 1958 Agreement which apply this Regulation shall communicate to the  United  Nations  secretariat  the  names  and  addresses  of  the  technical  services responsible for conducting approval tests and of the administrative departments which grant approval and to which forms certifying approval or extension or refusal or withdrawal of approval, issued in other countries or production definitely discontinued, are to be sent.

Note:  The approval number and additional symbol shall be placed close to the circle and either above or below the letter "E" or to the left or right of that letter.  The digits of the approval number and of the production serial number shall be on the same side of the letter "E" and face the same direction.  The use of Roman numerals as approval numbers should be avoided so as to prevent any confusion with other symbols.  
Figure 2 Simplified marking for grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps (The vertical and horizontal lines schematize the shape of the light-signalling device.  These are not part of the approval mark)     Note:  The three examples of approval marks, models B, C and D represent three possible variables for the marking of a lighting device when two or more lamps are part of the same assembly or grouped, combined or  reciprocally incorporated  lamps.   This  approval mark  shows  that  the device  was approved  in the Netherlands (E 4) under approval number 3333 and comprising: A reflex-retro reflector of class IA approved in accordance with the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 3; A rear direction indicator lamp of category 2a approved in accordance with the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 6; A red rear position lamp (R) approved in accordance with the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 7;
Annex 3 PHOTOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS 1.               Measurement methods When  photometric  measurements  are  taken,  stray  reflections  shall  be  avoided  by appropriate masking. 1.2.             In the event that the results of measurements are challenged, measurements shall be taken 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 angle subtended by the receiver from the reference centre of the light is between 10' and 1 degrees ; 1.2.3.          the intensity requirement for a particular direction of observation shall be satisfied if the required intensity is obtained in a direction deviating by not more than one quarter of a degree from the direction of observation. 2.               Measuring points expressed in degrees of angle with the axis of reference and values of  the minimum intensities of the light emitted     2.1.               The directions H = 0 degrees  and V = 0 degrees correspond to the axis of reference.  On the vehicle they are horizontal, parallel to the median longitudinal plane of the vehicle and oriented in the required direction of visibility.  They pass through the centre of reference.     The   values   shown   in   the  table   give,   for   the  various  directions  of measurement, the minimum intensities in cd. 2.2.               If visual examination of a lamp appears to reveal substantial local variations of intensity, a check shall be made to ensure that no intensity measured between two of the directions of measurement referred to above is below 50% of the lower minimum intensity of the two prescribed for these directions of measurement. 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 7.1.1. of this Regulation. 3.2.               For replaceable filament lamps: when equipped with mass production filament lamps at 6.75 V, 13.5 V or 28.0 V 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 4 COLOUR OF WHITE LIGHT (Trichromatic coordinates)   Limit towards blue      :  x > 0.310 "         "       yellow  :  x < 0.500 "         "       green    :  y < 0.150 + 0.640x "         "       green    :  y < 0.440 "         "       purple   :  y > 0.050 + 0.750x "         "       red        :  y > 0.382 For checking these colorimetric characteristics, a source of light at a colour temperature of 2,854 degrees K corresponding to illuminant A of the International Commission on Illumination (ICI) 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 7.1.1. of this Regulation.
Annex 5 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 lamps   shall not be contested if, when testing photometric performances of any lamp chosen at random and equipped with a standard filament lamp, or when the 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 lamp equipped with a replaceable light source and if results of the test described above do not meet the requirements, tests on lamps shall be repeated using another standard filament lamp. 1.3.             The chromaticity coordinates shall be complied with when the lamp is equipped with a standard filament lamp, or for lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps or other), when the colorimetric characteristics are verified with the light source present in the lamp. 2.                MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR VERIFICATION OF CONFORMITY BY THE MANUFACTURER                    For each type of 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 lamps shall be selected at random from the production of a uniform batch. A uniform batch means a set of 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 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 9.1. 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 6 (first sampling) would be 0.95.
Annex 6 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.             With respect to photometric performance, the conformity of mass-produced lamps shall not be contested if, when testing photometric performances of any lamp chosen at random and equipped with a standard filament lamp, or when the 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 lamp equipped with a replaceable light source and if results of the test described above do not meet the requirements, tests on lamps shall be repeated using another standard filament lamp. 1.2.3.          Lamps with apparent defects are disregarded. 1.3.             The chromaticity coordinates shall be complied with when the lamp is equipped with a standard filament lamp, or for lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps or other), when the colorimetric characteristics are verified with the light source present in the lamp. 2.                FIRST SAMPLING                    In the first sampling four lamps are selected at random.
