1.1.

‘Cornering lamp’ means a lamp used to provide supplementary illumination of that part of the road which is located near the forward corner of the vehicle at the side towards which the vehicle is going to turn.

1.2.

‘Cornering lamps of different types’ means lamps which differ in such essential respects as:

A change of the colour of the filament lamp or the colour of any filter does not constitute a change of type.

1.3.

The definitions of the colour of the light emitted given in Regulation No 48 and its series of amendments in force at the time of application for type approval shall apply to this Regulation.

1.4.

References made in this Regulation to standard (étalon) filament lamp(s) and to Regulation No 37 shall refer to Regulation No 37 and its series of amendments in force at the time of application for type approval.

2.1.

The application for approval shall be submitted by the holder of the trade name or mark or by his duly accredited representative.

2.2.

For each type of cornering lamp, the application shall be accompanied by:

3.1.

Bear the trade name or mark of the applicant; this marking shall be clearly legible and be indelible;

3.2.

With the exception of lamps with non-replaceable light sources, bear a clearly legible and indelible marking indicating:

3.3.

Provide adequate space for the approval mark and for the additional symbols prescribed in paragraph 4.3 below; the said space shall be shown in the drawings referred to in paragraph 2.2.1 above;

3.4.

In the case of lamps with an electronic light source control gear and/or non-replaceable light sources and/or light source module(s), bear the marking of the rated voltage or range of voltage and rated maximum wattage.

3.5.

In the case of lamps with light source module(s), the light source module(s) shall bear:

3.6.

Lamps operating at voltages other than the nominal rated voltages of 6 V, 12 V or 24 V respectively, by the application of an electronic light source control gear being not part of the lamp, must also bear a marking denoting the rated secondary design voltage.

3.7.

An electronic light source control gear being part of the lamp but not included into the lamp body shall bear the name of the manufacturer and its identification number.

4.1.

If the two samples of a type of cornering lamp meet the requirements of this Regulation, approval shall be granted.

4.2.

An approval number shall be assigned to each type approved. The same Contracting Party shall not assign the same number to another type of cornering lamp covered by this Regulation. Notice of approval or of extension or refusal or withdrawal of approval or production definitively discontinued of a type of cornering lamp pursuant to this Regulation shall be communicated to the Parties to the 1958 Agreement which apply this Regulation by means of a form conforming to the model in Annex 1 to this Regulation.

4.3.

Every cornering lamp conforming to a type approved under this Regulation shall bear in the space referred to in paragraph 3.3 above, in addition to the mark and the particulars prescribed above in paragraphs 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 or 3.4 respectively:

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.

4.5.

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 cornering 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 letter ‘K’ indicates a cornering lamp.

4.7.

The approval marking shall be clearly legible and indelible. It may be placed on an inner or outer part (transparent or not) of the device which cannot be separated from the transparent part of the device emitting the light. In any case the marking shall be visible when the device is fitted on the vehicle or when a movable part such as the hood or boot lid or a door is opened.

5.1.

Each sample shall conform to the specifications set forth in the paragraphs below.

5.2.

Cornering 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.

5.3.

In the case of light source modules, it shall be checked that:

5.4.

In the case of replaceable light sources:

6.1.

The intensity of light emitted by each of two samples shall be not less than the minimum intensity and not greater than the maximum intensity specified in paragraphs 6.2 and 6.3 The intensity 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). Test points are given for a lamp mounted on the left side of the vehicle, the L designations become R designations for a lamp mounted on the right side of the vehicle.

6.2.

For the left-hand device, the minimum intensity of the light at the specified measuring points shall be as follows:

The same values apply symmetrically for a right-hand device. (Shown in Annex 3)

6.3.

The intensity of the light emitted in all directions shall not exceed:

6.4.

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.

7.1.

In the case of a lamp with replaceable light source, when not supplied by an electronic light source control gear, with an uncoloured or coloured standard light source of the category prescribed for the device, supplied with the voltage:

7.2.

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, when not supplied by an electronic light source control gear.

7.3.

In the case of a system that uses an electronic light source control gear being part of the lamp (3), applying at the input terminals of the electronic light source control gear a voltage of 6,75 V, 13,5 V or 28,0 V respectively.

7.4.

In the case of a system that uses an electronic light source control gear not being part of the lamp the voltage declared by the manufacturer shall be applied to the input terminals of the lamp. The test laboratory shall require from the applicant the light source control gear needed to supply the light source and the applicable functions.

The voltage to be applied to the lamp shall be noted in the communication form in Annex 1 of this Regulation.

7.5.

For any lamp except those equipped with filament lamps, the luminous intensities, measured after one minute and after 30 minutes of operation, shall comply with the minimum and maximum requirements. The luminous intensity distribution after one minute of operation can be calculated from the luminous intensity distribution after 30 minutes of operation by applying at each test point the ratio of luminous intensities measured at HV after one minute and after 30 minutes of operation.

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.

10.1.

The approval granted in respect of a type of cornering lamp pursuant to this Regulation may be withdrawn if the foregoing requirements are not complied with or if a cornering 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.
