These are not part of the approval mark. Note: The three examples of approval marks shown above (models A, B and C) represent three possible variables for the marking of a lighting device when two or more lamps are part of the same assembly of grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps. They indicate that the device was approved in the Netherlands (E4-) under number 3333 and comprise: a reflex-reflector of class IA approved in accordance with the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 3; a rear direction indicator 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 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 7; a rear fog lamp (F) approved in accordance with Regulation No. 38 in its original version;  a reversing lamp (AR) approved in accordance with Regulation No. 23 in its original version; a stop lamp with two levels of illumination (S2) approved in accordance with the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 7.   Note:  The three examples shown above correspond to a lighting device bearing an approval mark relating to:  a front position lamp approved in accordance with the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 7; a headlamp with a passing beam designed for right-hand and left-hand traffic and a driving beam with a maximum intensity comprised between 86,250 and 101,250 candelas, approved in accordance with the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 20; a front fog lamp approved in accordance with the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 19; a front direction indicator lamp of category 1a approved in accordance with the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No.6.
  Lamp reciprocally incorporated with a headlamp Figure 3 The above example corresponds to the marking of a lens intended to be used in different types of headlamps, namely: either: a headlamp with a passing beam designed for right-hand and left-hand traffic and a driving beam with a maximum intensity comprised between 86,250 and 101,250 candelas, approved in Germany (E1) in accordance with the requirements of Regulation No. 8 as amended by the 04 series of amendments; which is reciprocally incorporated with a front direction indicator approved in accordance with the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 6; or: a headlamp with a passing beam designed for right-hand and left-hand traffic and a driving beam, approved in Germany (E1) in accordance with the requirements of Regulation No. 1 as amended by the 01 series of amendments, which is reciprocally incorporated with the same front direction indicator as above; or even:   either of the above-mentioned headlamps approved as a single lamp. The main body of the headlamp shall bear the only valid approval number, for instance:
Annex 4 PHOTOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS   1.               Measurement methods 1.1.            During photometric measurements, stray reflections shall be avoided by appropriate masking. 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 light is comprised between 10' 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. 2.               Table  of  standard  light  distribution  in  space  for  direction  indicators  of  the categories 1, 1 a. 1 b, 2a, 2b 3. 4 and 5
For direction indicators of category 6 2.1.            The direction H = 0 degrees  and V = 0 degrees  corresponds to the reference axis. (On the vehicle, it is horizontal, parallel to the median longitudinal plane of the vehicle and oriented in the required direction of visibility.) It passes through the centre of reference. The values shown in the tables give, for the various directions of measurement, the minimum intensities as a percentage of the minimum intensities required in the table in paragraph 6.1.: 2.1.1.         in the direction H = 0 degrees  and V = 0 degrees  for categories 1, 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3 and in the case of category 4 to the front only; 2.1.2.         in the direction H = 5 degrees  and V = 0 degrees  for category 6. 2.2.            Within the field of light distribution of paragraph 2., schematically shown as a grid, the light pattern should be substantially uniform, i.e. in so far as the light intensity in each direction of a part of the field formed by the grid lines shall meet at least the lowest minimum value being shown on the grid lines surrounding the questioned direction as a percentage. 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 of filament lamps; altematively 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.
