‘type of device’
means devices which do not differ among themselves in such essential respects as the following:
For each type of device the holder of the approval mark must carry out at least the following tests at appropriate intervals. The tests must be carried out in accordance with the provisions of this Directive.
If any sampling shows non-conformity with regard to the type of test concerned, further samples are taken and tested. The manufacturer must take steps to ensure the conformity of the production concerned.
Tests of conformity to this Directive must cover the photometric and colorimetric characteristics for headlamps of motorcycles and tricycles and the verification of the change in vertical position of the cut-off line unde the influence of heat.
Samples of devices are selected at random from the production of a uniform batch. A uniform batch means a set of devices of the same type, defined according to the production methods of the manufacturer.
The assessment must 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.
The sampled device is subjected to photometric measurements at the points provided for in the relevant Annexes unless otherwise prescribed. The trichromatic coordinates must be complied with.
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 the verification of conformity of products in Annex VI to Directive 92/61/EEC.
The criteria governing the acceptability must be such that, with a confidence level of 95 %, the minimum probability of passing a spot check in accordance with section 6 (first sampling) would be 0,95.
In the first sampling four devices are selected at random. The first sample of two is marked A, the second sample of two is marked B.
A1: | one device | 0 %, |
one device not more than | 20 %; | |
A2: | both devices more than | 0 %, |
but not more than | 20 %, |
go to sample B
B1: | both devices | 0 %. |
A3: | one device not more than | 20 %, |
one device more than | 20 %, | |
but not more than | 30 %. |
B2: | in the case of A2 | |
one device more than | 0 %, | |
but not more than | 20 %, | |
one device not more than | 20 %; | |
B3: | in the case of A2 | |
one device | 0 %, | |
one device more than | 20 %, | |
but not more than | 30 %. |
Conformity must be contested and Article 10 of Directive 92/61/EEC applied if, following the sampling procedure in Figure 1 of this Annex, the deviations of the measured values of the devices are:
A4: | one device not more than | 20 %, |
one device more than | 30 %; | |
A5: | both devices more than | 20 %. |
B4: | in the case of A2 | |
one device more than | 0 %, | |
but not more than | 20 %, | |

B5: | in the case of A2 | |
both devices more than | 20 %; | |
B6: | in the case of A2 | |
one device | 0 %, | |
one device more than | 30 %. |
In the cases of A3, B2, B3 a repeated sampling, third sample C of two devices and fourth sample D of two special warning lamps, selected from stock manufactured after alignment, is necessary within two months following the notification.
C1: | one device | 0 %, |
one device not more than | 20 %; | |

but not more than | 20 %, |
go to sample D

both devices | 0 %. |
D2: | in the case of C2 | |
one device more than | 0 %, | |
but not more than | 20 %, | |
one device not more than | 20 %. |
Conformity must be contested and Article 10 of Directive 92/61/EEC applied if, following the sampling procedure in Figure 1 of this Annex, the deviations of the measured values of the devices are:
C3: | one device not more than | 20 %, |
one device more than | 20 %; | |
C4: | both devices more than | 20 %. |

For verifying the limits above, a source of light at a colour temperature of 2 856 K (illuminant A of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE)), in combination with appropriate filters, may be used.
For retro-reflectors the device is illuminated by CIE standard illuminant A, with an angle of divergence of 1/3o and an illumination angle V = H = 0o, or, if this produces a colourless surface reflection, an angle V = ± 5o, H = 0o, the trichomatic co-ordinates of the reflected luminous flux must be within the limits above.
A device bearing the EC component type-approval mark shown above is a direction indicator of category 11 approved in the Netherlands (e4) under the number 00243. The first two digits of the approval number indicate that the approval was granted in accordance with the requirements of Annex II to this Directive in its original version.
For a direction indicator, the arrow indicates that the luminous distribution is asymmetrical in a horizontal plane and that the photometric values required are satisfied up to an angle of 80o to the right, the device being seen in the opposite sense of the light emitted. The example shows a direction indicator mounted on the right-hand side of the vehicle.

The relevant definitions set out in Annex I to Council Directive 93/92/EEC of 29 October 1993 on the fitting of lighting and light-signalling devices to two or three-wheel motor vehicles apply.
Devices must be designed and constructed in such a way that, under their normal conditions of use and despite any vibrations to which they may be submitted, their proper functioning remains unimpaired and they retain the characteristics required by this Annex.
Within the reference axis the intensity of the light emitted by each of the two devices must be at least equal to the two minimum values and at most equal to the maximum values set out in the table below. In no direction must the maximum values stated be exceeded.
a Applies solely to the area between the two vertical lines passing through V = 0o/H = ± 5o and two horizontal lines passing through V = ± 10o/H = 0o. A maximum of 400 cd is applicable to all other directions. | |||

4.4.2. | Rear (category 12) (see Appendix 1) | 50 | 200 |
Stop lamps and rear position (side) lamps must emit red light, front position (side) lamps must emit white light, and direction indicators amber light.
The colour of the light emitted, measured by using a filament lamp of the category specified by the manufacturer, must be within the limits of the trichromatic coordinates prescribed in Appendix 1 to Annex I when this filament lamp is operated at its test voltage as specified in Annex IV.
However, for lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources, the colorimetric characteristics must be verified with the light sources present in the lamps at a voltage of 6,75 V, 13,5 V or 28,0 V.
The requirements of Directive 76/762/EEC on front fog-lamps and of Directive 77/538/EEC on rear fog-lamps apply.
The requirements of Directive 77/539/EEC on reversing lamps apply.
The requirements set out in Directive 76/757/EEC on retro-reflectors apply.
The photometric performance must be checked:
at the voltage prescribed by the manufacturer; the technical service may require from the manufacturer the special power supply needed to supply such lamps.
when equipped with mass-production filament lamps at 6,75 V, 13,5 V or 28,0 V the luminous intensity values produced must lie between the maximum limit and the minimum limit given in this Annex increased in accordance with the permissible deviation of the luminous flux permitted for the type of filament lamp chosen, as stated in Annex IV for production filament lamps; alternatively a standard filament lamp may be used in turn, in each of the inidvidual positions, operated at its reference flux, the individual measurements in each position being added.
Devices may fall within category 1 or 2. The category 1 devices must be designed in such a way as to illuminate a position measuring at least 130 × 240 mm and the category 2 devices in such a way as to illuminate a position measuring at least 200 × 280 mm.
The colour of the light emitted by the lamp used in the device must be white, but sufficiently neutral so as not to cause any appreciable change in the colour of the registration plate.
The manufacturer of the illuminating device must lay down the conditions for the fitting of the device in relation to the position intended for the registration plate. That device must occupy a position such that at none of the points on the surface to be illuminated with the angle of incidence of the light on the surface of the plate exceed 82o, that angle being measured in relation to the extremity of the light-emitting surface of the device that is furthest from the surface of the plate. Where there is more than one optical component this requirement applies only to the part of the plate intended to be illuminated by the relevant component.
The device must be designed in such a manner that no ray of light shines directly towards the rear with the exception of rays of red light where the device is combined or grouped with a rear lamp.
The levels of luminance are measured on a sheet of clean white blotting paper having a minimum factor of diffuse reflection of 70 % and the same dimensions as the registration plate and placed at the position it would normally occupy but 2 mm in front of its support.
The level of luminance is measured at right angles to the surface of the paper at the points shown in the diagram in section 5 below, each point representing a circular area 25 mm in diameter.
Luminance B must be at least 2 cd/m2 at each of the measuring points defined below.
The luminance gradient between values B

The discomfort caused by the passing beam of headlamps must be gauged.
Figure C shows the measuring point for right-hand traffic. Points 7 and 8 move to their corresponding location at the right-hand side of the picture for left-hand traffic.U.K.
Once the photometric values have been measured according to the requirements of this Directive, in points Emax for driving beam and HV, 50 R, B 50 L for passing beam (or HV, 50 L, B 50 R for headlamps designed for left-hand traffic) a complete headlamp sample is tested for stability of photometric performance in operation. ‘Complete headlamp’ is understood to mean the complete lamp itself including those surrounding body parts and lamps which could influence its thermal dissipation.
The tests are carried out in a dry and still atmosphere at an ambient temperature of 23 oC ± 5 oC, the complete headlamp being mounted on a base representing the correct installation on the vehicle.
The headlamp is operated for 12 hours as described in 1.1.1 and checked as prescribed in 1.1.2.
The headlamp is operated for a period according to the specified time, so that:
in the case where only one lighting function (driving or passing beam) is to be approved, the corresponding filament is for the prescribed time(10),
in the case of a reciprocally incorporated passing lamp and driving lamp (dual-filament lamp or two filament lamps):
If the applicant declares that the headlamp is to be used with a single filament lit(11), the test is carried out in accordance with this condition activating(10) each specified function successfully for half the time specified in 1.1,
in all other cases(12) (13), the headlamp is subjected to the following cycle until the time specified is reached:
15 minutes, passing beam filament lit
5 minutes, all filaments lit,
in the case of grouped lighting functions all the individual functions must be lit simultaneously for the time specified for individual lighting functions (a) also taking into account the use of reciprocally incorporated lighting functions (b), according to the manufacturer's specifications.
The voltage must be adjusted so as to supply 90 % of the maximum wattage specified in Annex IV. The applied wattage must in all cases comply with the corresponding value of a filament lamp of 12 V rated voltage, except if the applicant for approval specifies that the headlamp may be used at a different voltage. In the latter case, the test is carried out with the filament lamp whose wattage is the highest that can be used.
Once the headlamp has been stabilized to the ambient temperature, the headlamp lens and the external lens, if any, must be cleaned with a clean, damp cloth. It must then be inspected visually; no distortion, deformation, cracking or change in colour of either the headlamps or the external lens, if any, must be noticeable.
To comply with the requirements of this directive, the photometric values must be verified in the following points:
Passing beam:
50 R — B 50 L — HV for headlamps designed for right-hand traffic,
50 L — B 50 R — HV for headlamps designed for left-hand traffic.
Driving beam:
Point of Emax.
Another adjustment may be carried out to allow for any deformation of the headlamp base due to heat (the change of the position of the cut-off line is covered in section 2 of this Appendix).
A 10 % discrepancy between the photometric characteristics and the values measured prior to the test is permissible, including the tolerances of the photometric procedure.
After being tested as specified in 1.1, the headlamp must be operated for one hour as described in 1.1.1, after being prepared as prescribed in 1.2.1, and checked as prescribed in 1.1.2.
The mixture of water and polluting agent to be applied to the headlamp must be composed of nine parts (by mass) of silica sand with a grain size distributed between 0 and 100 µm, one part (by mass) of vegetal carbon dust of a grain size distributed between 0 and 100 µm, 0,2 (by mass) of NaCMC(14) and an appropriate quantity of distilled water, the conductivity of which is lower than 1 mS/m for the purpose of this test.
The mixture must not be more than 14 days old.
The test mixture must be uniformly applied to the entire light-emitting surface of the headlamp and then left to dry. This procedure is repeated until the illuminating value has dropped to 15 — 20 % of the values measured for each following point under the conditions described in paragraph 1 above:
Emax in driving beam for a driving/passing lamp,
Emax in driving beam for a driving lamp only.
50 R and 50 V(15) for a passing lamp only, designed for right-hand traffic.
50 L and 50 V for a passing lamp only, designed for left-hand traffic.
The measuring equipment must be equivalent to that used during headlamp approval tests. A standard (reference) filament lamp is used for the photometric verification.
This test consists of verifying that the vertical drift of the cut-off line under the influence of heat does not exceed a specified value for an operating passing lamp.
The headlamp tested in accordance with section 1 must be subjected to the test described in 2.1 without being removed from or readjusted in relation to its test fixture.
The test must be carried out in a dry and still atmosphere at an ambient temperature of 23 oC ± 5 oC.
Using a series-production filament lamp which has been aged for at least one hour the headlamp is operated on passing beam without being removed from or readjusted in relation to its test fixture. (For the purpose of this test, the voltage must be adjusted as specified in 1.1.1.2.) The position of the cut-off line in its horizontal part (between VV and the vertical line passing through point B 50 R for left-hand traffic or B 50 L for right-hand traffic) must be verified 3 minutes (r3) and 60 minutes (r60) after operation.
The measurement of the variation in the cut-off line position as described above is carried out by any method giving acceptable accuracy and reproducible results.
The result expressed in milliradians (mrad) is considered as acceptable when the absolute value recorded on the headlamp is not more than 1,0 mrad ( Δr1 ≤ 1,0 mrad).
Operation of the passing lamp for one hour (the voltage must be adjusted as specified in 1.1.1.2.)
Period of rest for one hour.
The headlamp type is considered as acceptable if the mean value of the absolute values Δr
1
measured on the first sample and Δr
11
measured on the second sample is not more than 1,0 mrad.
Three new samples (lenses) are subjected to five live cycles of temperature and humidity (RH = relative humidity) change in accordance with the following programme:
3 hours at 40 oC ± 2 oC and 85 %—95 % RH;
1 hour at 23 oC ± 5 oC and 60 %—75 % RH;
15 hours at −30 oC ± 2 oC;
1 hour at 23 oC ± 5 oC and 60 %—75 % RH;
3 hours at 80 oC ± 2 oC;
1 hour at 23 oC ± 5 oC and 60 %—75 % RH.
Before this test, the samples must be kept at 23 oC ± 5 oC and 60 %—75 % RH for at least four hours.
The periods of one hour at 23 oC ± 5 oC must include the periods of transition from one temperature to another which are needed in order to avoid thermal shock effect.U.K.
Photometric measurements must be carried out on the samples before and after the test.
These measurements must be made using a standard lamp, at the following points:
B 50 L and 50 R for the passing beam of a passing lamp or a passing/driving lamp (B 50 R and 50 L in the case of headlamps intended for left-hand traffic) or B 50 and 50 R/L in the case of symmetrical passing beam;
Emax route for the driving beam of a driving lamp or a passing/driving lamp;
HV and Emax zone D for a front fog-lamp.
The variation between the photometric values measured on each sample before and after the test must not exceed 10 % including the tolerances of the photometric procedure.
Three new samples (lenses or samples of material) are exposed to radiation from a source having a spectral energy distribution similar to that of a black body at a temperature between 5 500 K and 6 000 K. Appropriate filters must be placed between the source and the samples so as to reduce as far as possible radiations with wave lengths smaller than 295 nm and greater than 2 500 nm. The samples are exposed to an energetic illumination of 1 200 W/m2 ± 200 W/m2 for a period such that the luminous energy that they receive is equal to 4 500 MJ/m2 ± 200 MJ/m2. Within the enclosure, the temperature measured on the black panel placed on a level with the samples must be 50 oC ± 5 oC. In order to ensure a regular exposure, the samples must revolve around the source of radiation at a speed of between 1 and 5 1/min.
The samples are sprayed with distilled water of conductivity lower than 1 mS/m at a temperature of 23 oC ± 5 oC, in accordance with the following cycle:
After the test described in 2.2.1 and the measurement described in 2.2.3.1 have been carried out, the outer face of the said three samples is treated as described in 2.2.2.2 with the mixture defined in 2.2.2.1.
The test mixture is composed of 61,5 % n-heptane, 12,5 % toluene, 7,5 % ethyl tetrachloride, 12,5 % trichlorethylene and 6 % xylene (% volume).
A piece of cotton cloth is soaked (as per ISO 105) until the mixture is saturated as defined in 2.2.2.1 and, within 10 seconds, applied for 10 minutes to the outer face of the sample at a pressure of 50 N/cm2, corresponding to an effort of 100 N applied on a test surface fo 14 × 14 mm.
During this 10-minute period, the cloth pad must be soaked again with the mixture so that the composition of the liquid applied is continuously identical with that of the test mixture prescribed.
During the period of application, it is permissible to compensate the pressure applied to the sample in order to prevent it from causing cracks.
At the end of the application of the test mixture, the samples must be dried in the open air and then washed with the solution described in 2.3 (Resistance to detergents) at 23 oC ± 5 oC.
Afterwards the samples must be carefully rinsed with distilled water containing not more than 0,2 % impurities at 23 oC ± 5 oC and then wiped off with a soft cloth.

,
measured on the three samples according to the procedure described in Appendix 3.2 to this Annex must not exceed 0,020 ( Δdm ≤ 0,020).
The outer face of three samples (lenses or samples of material) is heated to 50 oC ± 5 oC and then immersed for five minutes in a mixture maintained at 23 oC ± 5 oC and composed of 99 parts distilled water containing not more than 0,02 % impurities and one part alkylaryl sulphonate.
At the end of the test, the samples are dried at 50 oC ± 5 oC. the surface of the samples is cleaned with a moist cloth.
The outer face of these three samples is then lightly rubbed for one minute with a cotton cloth soaked in a mixture composed of 70 % n-heptane and 30 % toluene (% volume), and then dried in the open air.
After the above two tests have been performed successively, the mean value of the variation in transmission
,
measured on the three samples according to the procedure described in Appendix 3.2 to this Annex must not exceed 0,010 ( Δtm ≤ 0,010).
The outer face of the three new samples (lenses) is subjected to the uniform mechanical deterioration test by the method described in Appendix 3.3 to this Annex.
After this test, the variations:
in transmission:
and in diffusion:
are measured according to the procedure described in Appendix 3.2 to this Annex in the area specified in 2.2.4. The mean value of the three samples must be such that
Δtm ≤ 0,100
Δdm ≤ 0,050.
A surface of 20 mm × 20 mm in area of the coating of a lens is cut with a razor blade or a needle into a grid of squares approximately 2 mm × 2 mm. The pressure on this blabe or needle must be sufficient to cut at least the coating.
An adhesive tape is used with a force of adhesion of 2 N/(cm of width) ± 20 % measured under the standardized conditions specified in Appendix 3.4 to this Annex. This adhesive tape, which must be at least 25 mm wide, is pressed for at least five minutes to the surface prepared as prescribed in 2.5.1.
The end of the adhesive tape is then loaded in such a way that the force of adhesion to the surface considered is balanced by a force perpendicular to that surface. At this stage, the tape is torn off at a constant speed of 1,5 m/s ± 0,2 m/s.
There must be no appreciable impairment of the gridded area. Impairments at the intersections between squares or at the edges of the cuts are permitted, provided that the impaired area does not exceed 15 % of the gridded surface.
The lens of lamp sample No 1 is subjected to the test described in 2.4.1 above.
After the test, the results of photometric measurements carried out on the headlamp in accordance with this Directive must not exceed by more than 30 % the maximum values prescribed at point B 50 L and HV and not by more than 10 % below the minimum values prescribed at point 75 R (in the case of headlamps intended for left-hand traffic, the points to be considered are B 50 R, HV and 75 L). In the case of the symmetrical crossing beam the points to be considered are B 50 and H.
The lens of lamp sample No 2 is subjected to the test described in 2.5.
The beam of a collimator K with a half divergence
is limited by a diaphragm DT with an opening of 6 mm against which the sample stand is placed.
A convergent achromatic lens L
2
corrected for spherical aberrations, links the diaphragm D
T
with the receiver R; the diameter of the lens L
2
must be such that it does not diaphragm the light diffused by the sample in a cone with a half top angle
An annular diaphragm DD with angles and
is
placed in an image focal plane of the lens L2.
The non-transparent central art of the diaphragm is necessary in order to eliminate the light arriving directly from the light source. It must be possible to remove the central part of the diaphragm from the light beam in such a manner that it returns exactly to its original position.
The distance L2 DT and the focal length F2 (16) of the lens L2 must be so chosen that the image of DT completely covers the receiver R.
When the initial incident flux is referred to 1 000 units, the absolute precision of each reading must be better than 1 unit.
The following readings are taken:
Reading | with sample | with central part of DD | Quantity represented |
---|---|---|---|
T1 | no | no | Incident flux in initial reading |
T2 | yes (before test) | no | Flux transmitted by the new material in a field of 24 oC |
T3 | yes (after test) | no | Flux transmitted by the tested material in a field of 24 oC |
T4 | yes (before test) | yes | Flux diffused by the new material |
T5 | yes (after test) | yes | Flux diffused by the tested material |
The spray gun used must be equipped with a nozzle 1,3 mm in diameter allowing a liquid flow-rate of 0,24 ± 0,02 1/minute at an operating pressure of 6,0 bars − 0, + 0,5 bar.
Under these operating conditions the fan pattern obtained must be 170 mm ± 50 mm in diameter on the surface exposed to deterioration, at a distance of 380 mm ± 10 mm from the nozzle.
The test mixture is composed of:
Silica sand of hardness 7 on the Mohs scale, with a grain size between 0 and 0,2 mm and an almost normal distribution, with an angular factor of 1,8 to 2;
Water of hardness not exceeding 205 g/m3 for a mixture comprising 25 g of sand per litre of water
The outer surface of the lamp lenses is subjected once or more than once to the action of the sand jet produced as described above. the jet must be sprayed almost perpendicular to the surface to be tested.
The deterioration is checked by means of one or more samples of glass placed as a reference near the lenses to be tested. The mixture must be sprayed until the variation in the diffusion of light on the sample or samples measured by the method described in Appendix 2 is such that:
Several reference samples may be used to check that the whole surface to be tested has deteriorated homogeneously.
This method allows to determination under standard conditions of the linear force of adhesion of an adhesive tape to a glass plate.
Measurement of the force necessary to unstick an adhesive tape from a glass plate at an angle of 90o.
The ambient conditions must be at 23 oC ± 5 oC and 65 % ± 15 % relative humidity (RH).
Before the test, the sample roll of adhesive tape must be conditioned for 24 hours in the specified atmosphere (see section 3 above).
Five test-pieces each 400 mm long are tested from each roll. These test-pieces are taken from the roll after the first three turns have been discarded.
The test must be carried out under the ambient conditions specified in section 3.
The five test pieces are taken while the tape is radially unrolled at a speed of approximately 300 mm/s, and the test-pieces are then applied within 15 seconds in the following manner:
The tape is applied to the glass plate progressively with a slight lengthwise rubbing movement of the finger, without excessive pressure, in such a manner as to leave no air bubble between the tape and the glass plate.
The assembly is left in the specified atmospheric conditions for 10 minutes.
About 25 mm of the test-piece is unstuck from the plate in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the test-piece.
The plate is fixed and the free end of the tape folded back at 90o. Force is applied in such a manner that the separation line between the tape and the plate is perpendicular to this force and perpendicular to the plate.
The tape is then pulled to unstick at a speed of 300 mm/s and the force required is recorded.
The five values obtained are arranged in order and the median value taken as the results of the measurement. This value is expressed in Newtons per centimetre of width of the tape.

The above EC component type-approval mark affixed to a filament lamp indicates that the lamp has been approved in Germany (e1) under the approval number A3. The first character of the approval code (0) indicates that the approval was granted in accordance with the requirements of Annex IV to this Directive in its original form.
Save as possibly otherwise indicated on the lamp data sheets, this standard is applicable to the determination of the luminous centre of different filament shapes if the filament is shown as a point in at least one view in the lamp data sheets.
The position of the luminous centre depends upon the filament shape.
No | Filament shapes | Observations |
---|---|---|
1 | With b > 1,5 h, the deviation of the filament axis with respect to a plane normal to the reference axis must not exceed 15o. | |
2 | Only applicable to filaments which can be inscribed in a rectangle of b > 3 h. | |
3 | Applicable to filaments which can be inscribed in a rectangle of b < 3 h, where however k < 2 h. |
The side lines of the circumscribed rectangle in Nos 2 and 3 are parallel and perpendicular, respectively, to the reference axis.
The luminous centre is the point of intersection of the dash-dot lines.
Headlamps of Annex III-B, III-C and III-D.
The measuring screen for driving on the left must be symmetrical to line v-v shown in the diagram in this Annex.
Technical requirements for filament lamps: see Annex IV.
A headlamp is regarded as satisfying the requirements of this paragraph if the filament lamp can easily be fitted into the headlamp and the positioning lugs can be correctly fitted into their slots even in darkness.
These provisions do not apply to the control switch.
The test screen must be sufficiently wide to allow examination of the cut-off over a range of at least 5o each side of the line v-v.
If, in the case of headlamp designed to satisfy the requirements of this Directive with respect to the passing beam only, the focal axis diverges appreciably from the general direction of the beam, or if, whatever the type of headlamp (passing only or combined passing and driving), the beam does not have a cut-off with a clear elbow, the lateral adjustment must be affected in the manner which best satisfies the requirements for illumunation at points 75 R and 50 R for right-hand traffic and at points 75 L and 50 L for left-hand traffic.
A headlamp designed to emit a passing beam may incorporate a driving beam not complying with this specification.
The limit of re-alignment of 1o towards the right or left is not incompatible with upward or downward vertical re-alignment. The latter is limited only by the requirements laid down in section 3.3; however, the horizontal part of the cut-off should not extend beyond the line h-h (the provisions of section 3.3 are not applicable to headlamps intended to meet the requirements of this Annex for passing beam only).
When the tested headlamp is grouped and/or reciprocally incorporated with signalling lamps, the latter must be lit for the duration of the test. In the case of a direction indicator lamp, it must be lit in flashing operation mode with an on/off time ratio of approximately one to one.
If two or more lamp filaments are simultaneously lit when headlamp flashing is used, this is not considered as being normal use of the filament simultaneously.

NaCMC represents the sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose, customarily referred to as CMC. The NaCMC used in the dirt mixture must have a degree of substitution (DS) of 0,6-0,7 and a viscosity of 200-300 cP for a 2 % solution 20 oC.
50 V is situated 375 mm below HV on the vertical line v-v on the screen at 25 m distance.
For L2 the use of a focal distance of about 80 mm is recommended.
The points to be measured are those where the outside of the end turn that is nearest to or furthest from the cap crosses the filament axis.
The cap must be pressed in these directions.
The end of the filament is defined at sheet H2/3.
The drawing is not mandatory with respect to the design of the shield.
