6.   ILLUMINATION

6.1.   General provisions

6.1.1.   Headlamps shall be so made that they give adequate illumination without dazzle when emitting the passing beam, and good illumination when emitting a driving beam.

6.1.2.   The luminous intensity produced by the headlamp shall be measured at 25 m distance by means of a photoelectric cell having a useful area comprised within a square of 65 mm side. The point HV is the centre-point of the coordinate system with a vertical polar axis. Line H is the horizontal through HV (see Annex 3 to this Regulation).

6.1.3.   For Class A or B or C or D

6.1.3.1.   Apart from (an) LED module(s), the headlamps shall be checked by means of an uncoloured standard (étalon) filament lamp designed for a rated voltage of 12 V. During the checking of the headlamp, the voltage at the terminals of the filament lamp shall be regulated so as to obtain the reference luminous flux at 13,2 V as indicated at the relevant data sheet of Regulation No 37.

In order to protect the standard (étalon) filament lamp during the process of photometric measurement it is permissible to carry out the measurements at a luminous flux that differs from the reference luminous flux at 13,2 V. If the test laboratory chooses to carry out measurements in such a manner the luminous intensity shall be corrected by multiplying the measured value by the individual factor Flamp of the standard (étalon) filament lamp in order to verify the compliance with the photometric requirements where:

lamp

Flamp
  = Φreference/Φtest

Flamp

6.1.3.2.   Depending on the number of filament lamps for which the headlamp is designed, it shall be considered acceptable if it meets the requirements of paragraph 6 with the same number of standard (étalon) filament lamp(s), which may be submitted with the headlamp.

6.1.3.3.   LED module(s) shall be measured at 6,3 V or 13,2 V respectively, if not otherwise specified within this Regulation. LED module(s) operated by an electronic light source control gear, shall be measured as specified by the applicant.

6.1.4.   For Class E with (a) gas-discharge light source(s) according to Regulation No 99

6.1.4.1.   The headlamp shall be deemed satisfactory if the photometric requirements set in the present paragraph 6 are met with one light source, which has been aged during at least 15 cycles, in accordance with Annex 4, paragraph 4 of Regulation No 99.

Where the gas-discharge light source is approved according to Regulation No 99 it shall be a standard (étalon) light-source and its luminous flux may differ from the objective luminous flux specified in Regulation No 99. In this case, the illuminances shall be corrected accordingly.

The above correction does not apply to distributed lighting systems using a non-replaceable gas-discharge light source or to headlamps with the ballast(s) totally or partially integrated.

Where the gas-discharge light source is not approved according to Regulation No 99 it shall be a production non-replaceable light source.

The voltage applied to the terminals of the ballast(s) is: either: 13,2 V ± 0,1 V for 12 V systems or: as otherwise specified (see Annex 11).

6.1.4.2.   The dimensions determining the position of the arc inside the standard gas-discharge light source are shown in the relevant data sheet of Regulation No 99.

6.1.4.3.   Four seconds after ignition of a headlamp which has not been operated for 30 minutes or more, at least 37 500 cd must be reached at point HV of a driving beam and 3 750 cd at point 2 (0,86 D-V) of a passing beam for headlamps incorporating driving beam and passing beam functions, or 3 750 cd at point 2 (0,86 D-V) for headlamps having only a passing beam function. The power supply shall be sufficient to secure the quick rise of the high current pulse.

6.1.5.   For Class E with (an) LED module(s)

6.1.5.1.   LED module(s) shall be measured at 6,3 V or 13,2 V respectively, if not otherwise specified within this Regulation. LED module(s) operated by an electronic light source control gear, shall be measured as specified by the applicant.

6.1.6.   In the case of headlamp systems having additional light source(s) and/or additional lighting unit(s) used to produce bend lighting, the additional light source(s) shall be measured according to the paragraphs 6.1.3, 6.1.4 and 6.1.5.

6.2.   Provisions concerning passing beams

6.2.1.   For a correct aiming the principal passing beam shall produce a sufficiently sharp ‘cut-off’ to permit a satisfactory visual adjustment with its aid as indicated in paragraph 6.2.2 below. The aiming shall be carried out using a flat vertical screen set up at a distance of 10 or 25 m forward of the headlamp and at right angles to the H-V. The screen shall be sufficiently wide to allow examination and adjustment of the ‘cut-off’ of the passing beam over at least 3° on either side of the V-V line. The ‘cut-off’ shall be substantially horizontal and shall be as straight as possible from at least 3° L to 3° R. In case the visual aim leads to problems or ambiguous positions, the instrumental method as specified in Annex 9, paragraphs 2 and 4, shall be applied and the quality or rather the sharpness of the ‘cut-off’ and the linearity shall be checked on performance.

6.2.2.   The principal passing beam shall be aimed so that:

| --- | --- |

6.2.2.1.

For horizontal adjustment: The beam is as symmetrical as possible with reference to line V-V;

| 6.2.2.2. | For vertical adjustment: the horizontal part of the ‘cut-off’ line is adjusted to its nominal position (0,57 degree) below the H-H line.
  If, however, vertical adjustment cannot be performed repeatedly to the required position within the allowed tolerances, the instrumental method of Annex 9, paragraphs 4 and 5 shall be applied to test compliance with the required minimum quality of the ‘cut-off’ line and to perform the beam vertical adjustment. |
| --- | --- |

6.2.2.2.

For vertical adjustment: the horizontal part of the ‘cut-off’ line is adjusted to its nominal position (0,57 degree) below the H-H line.

If, however, vertical adjustment cannot be performed repeatedly to the required position within the allowed tolerances, the instrumental method of Annex 9, paragraphs 4 and 5 shall be applied to test compliance with the required minimum quality of the ‘cut-off’ line and to perform the beam vertical adjustment.

6.2.3.   When so aimed, the headlamp must, if its approval is sought solely for provision of a passing beam (10), comply with the requirements set out in paragraphs 6.2.5 and 6.2.6 below; if it is intended to provide both a passing beam and a driving beam, it shall comply with the requirements set out in paragraphs 6.2.5, 6.2.6 and 6.3.

Where a headlamp so aimed does not meet the requirements set out in paragraphs 6.2.5, 6.2.6 and 6.3, its alignment may be changed, except for headlamps that have no mechanism to adjust horizontal aim, on condition that the axis of the beam is not displaced laterally by more than 0,5 degree to the right or left and vertically by not more than 0,25 degree up or down. To facilitate alignment by means of the ‘cut-off’, the headlamp may be partially occulted in order to sharpen the ‘cut-off’. However, the ‘cut-off’ should not extend beyond the line H-H.

6.2.5.   The passing beam shall meet the requirements as shown in the applicable table below and the applicable figure as shown in Annex 3.

2.   TEST FOR CHANGE IN VERTICAL POSITION OF THE ‘CUT-OFF’ LINE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HEAT

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 headlamp producing a passing beam.

The headlamp tested in accordance with paragraph 1, shall be subjected to the test described in paragraph 2.1, without being removed from or readjusted in relation to its test fixture.

2.1.   Test

The test shall be carried out in a dry and still atmosphere at an ambient temperature of 23 °C ± 5 °C.

Using a mass production filament lamp(s) which has been aged for at least one hour or a mass production gas-discharge light source which has been aged for at least 15 hours or the LED module(s) as submitted with the headlamps, which has (have) been aged for at least 48 hours, the headlamp shall be operated on passing beam without being dismounted from or readjusted in relation to its test fixture. (For the purpose of this test, the voltage shall be adjusted as specified in paragraph 1.1.1.2). The position of the ‘cut-off’ line in its horizontal part (between the vertical lines passing through point 50 L and 50 R for Class B headlamp, 3,5 L and 3,5 R for Classes C, D and E headlamp) shall be verified 3 minutes (r3) and 60 minutes (r60) respectively after operation.

2.2.   Test results

| 2.2.1. | The result in milliradians (mrad) shall be considered as acceptable for a headlamp producing a passing beam, only when the absolute value

  recorded on the headlamp is not more than 1,0 mrad (ΔrI ≤ 1,0 mrad). |

2.2.2.

Operation of the passing beam for one hour, (the voltage shall be adjusted as specified in paragraph 1.1.1.2),

| | Period of rest for one hour. |
| --- | --- |

Period of rest for one hour.

The headlamp type shall be considered as acceptable if the mean value of the absolute values ΔrI measured on the first sample and ΔrII measured on the second sample is not more than 1,0 mrad.

---

(1)  For the test schedule see Annex 8 to this Regulation.

(2)  When the tested headlamp includes signalling lamps, the latter shall be lit for the duration of the test. In the case of a direction indicator lamp, it shall be lit in flashing mode with an on/off time of approximately one to one.

(3)  Should two or more lamp light source be simultaneously lit when headlamp flashing is used, this shall not be considered as being normal use of the light source simultaneously.

METHOD OF MEASUREMENT OF THE DIFFUSION AND TRANSMISSION OF LIGHT

1.   Equipment (see figure)

The beam of a collimator K with a half divergence β/2 = 17,4 × 104 rd is limited by a diaphragm Dτ with an opening of 6 mm against which the sample stand is placed.

A convergent achromatic lens L2, corrected for spherical aberrations links the diaphragm Dτ with the receiver R; the diameter of the lens L2 shall be such that it does not diaphragm the light diffused by the sample in a cone with a half top angle of β/2 = 14°.

An annular diaphragm DD, with angles α°/2 = 1° and αmax/2 = 12° is placed in an image focal plane of the lens L2.

The non-transparent central part of the diaphragm is necessary in order to eliminate the light arriving directly from the light source. It shall 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 Dτ and the focal length F2
   (1) of the lens L2 shall be so chosen that the image of Dτ completely covers the receiver R.

When the initial incident flux is referred to 1 000 units, the absolute precision of each reading shall be better than 1 unit.

2.   Measurements

The following readings shall be 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° |
| T3 | yes (after test) | no | Flux transmitted by the tested material in a field of 24° |
| T4 | yes (before test) | yes | Flux diffused by the new material |
| T5 | yes (after test) | yes | Flux diffused by the tested material |

ANNEX 9

DEFINITION AND SHARPNESS OF THE ‘CUT-OFF’ LINE FOR SYMMETRICAL PASSING BEAM HEADLAMPS AND AIMING PROCEDURE BY MEANS OF THIS ‘CUT-OFF’ LINE

1.   GENERAL

| 1.1. | The luminous intensity distribution of the symmetrical passing-beam headlamps shall incorporate a ‘cut-off’ line which enables the symmetrical passing-beam headlamp to be adjusted correctly for the photometric measurements and for the aiming on the vehicle. The characteristics of the ‘cut-off’ line shall comply with the requirements set out in paragraphs 2 to 4 below: |
| --- | --- |

1.1.

2.   SHAPE OF THE ‘CUT-OFF’ LINE

| 2.1. | For visual adjustment of the symmetrical passing-beam headlamp the ‘cut-off’ line shall provide a horizontal line for vertical adjustment of the symmetrical passing-beam headlamp extending to either side of the V-V line (see Figure 1) as specified in paragraph 6.2.1 of this Regulation.

  Figure 1


  Shape and position of the ‘cut-off’ line |
| --- | --- |

2.1.

Figure 1

Shape and position of the ‘cut-off’ line

Image 43

3.   ADJUSTMENT OF THE SYMMETRICAL PASSING-BEAM HEADLAMP

| 3.1. | Horizontal adjustment: the beam with the ‘cut-off’ line shall be so positioned that the projected beam pattern appears approximately symmetrical to the V-V line. |
| --- | --- |

3.1.

| 3.2. | Vertical adjustment: after horizontal adjustment of the symmetrical passing-beam headlamp according to paragraph 3.1 above, the vertical adjustment shall be performed in such a way that the beam with its ‘cut-off’ line is moved upwards from the lower position until the ‘cut-off’ line is situated at nominal vertical position. For nominal vertical adjustment the ‘cut-off’ line is positioned on the V-V line at 1 per cent below the h-h line.
  If the horizontal part is not straight but slightly curved or inclined, the ‘cut-off’ line shall not exceed the vertical range formed by two horizontal lines which are situated from 3° left to 3° right of the V-V line at 0,2° for Class B and 0,3° for Classes A, C, D and E headlamps above and below the nominal position of the ‘cut-off’ (see Figure 1). |
| --- | --- |

3.2.

If the horizontal part is not straight but slightly curved or inclined, the ‘cut-off’ line shall not exceed the vertical range formed by two horizontal lines which are situated from 3° left to 3° right of the V-V line at 0,2° for Class B and 0,3° for Classes A, C, D and E headlamps above and below the nominal position of the ‘cut-off’ (see Figure 1).

| 3.3. | When the vertical adjustments of three different individuals differs by more than 0,2° for Class B and 0,3° for Classes A, C, D and E head lamps, the horizontal part of the ‘cut-off’ line is assumed not to provide sufficient linearity or sharpness for performing visual adjustment. In this case the quality of ‘cut-off’ shall be tested instrumentally for compliance with requirements as follows. |
| --- | --- |

3.3.

4.   MEASUREMENT OF THE QUALITY OF ‘CUT-OFF’

| 4.1. | Measurements shall be performed by vertically scanning through the horizontal part of the ‘cut-off’ line in angular steps not exceeding 0,05°:






  (a) | At either a measurement distance of 10 m and a detector with a diameter of approximately 10 mm; |
| --- | --- | --- |

4.1.

(a)

At either a measurement distance of 10 m and a detector with a diameter of approximately 10 mm;

| (b) | Or at a measurement distance of 25 m and a detector with a diameter of approximately 30 mm. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

Or at a measurement distance of 25 m and a detector with a diameter of approximately 30 mm.

The measurement of the ‘cut-off’ quality shall be considered acceptable if the requirements of the paragraph 4.1.2 of this Annex shall comply with at least one measurement at 10 m or 25 m.

The measuring distance at which the test was determined shall be noted down in paragraph 9, Annex 1 ‘Communication form’ of this Regulation.

The scanning is performed from its lower position upwards through the ‘cut-off’ line along the vertical lines at - 3° to - 1,5° and + 1,5° to + 3° from the V-V line. When so measured, the quality of the ‘cut-off’ line shall meet the following requirements:

| 4.1.1. | Not more than one ‘cut-off’ line shall be visible (1). |
| --- | --- |

4.1.1.

Not more than one ‘cut-off’ line shall be visible (1).

| 4.1.2. | Sharpness of ‘cut-off’: if scanned vertically through the horizontal part of the ‘cut-off’ line along the ± 2,5 lines, the maximum value measured for:





  is called the sharpness factor G of the ‘cut-off’ line. The value of G shall not be less than 0,13 for Class B and 0,08 for Classes A, C, D and E. |
| --- | --- |

4.1.2.

Sharpness of ‘cut-off’: if scanned vertically through the horizontal part of the ‘cut-off’ line along the ± 2,5 lines, the maximum value measured for:

Formula

is called the sharpness factor G of the ‘cut-off’ line. The value of G shall not be less than 0,13 for Class B and 0,08 for Classes A, C, D and E.

| 4.1.3. | Linearity: the part of the ‘cut-off’ line which serves for vertical adjustment shall be horizontal from 3°L to 3°R of the V-V line. This requirement is deemed to be met if the vertical positions of the inflection points according to paragraph 3.2 above at 3° left and right of the V-V line do not differ by more than 0,2° for Class B and 0,3° for Classes A, C, D and E headlamps from the nominal position at the V-V line. |
| --- | --- |

4.1.3.

Linearity: the part of the ‘cut-off’ line which serves for vertical adjustment shall be horizontal from 3°L to 3°R of the V-V line. This requirement is deemed to be met if the vertical positions of the inflection points according to paragraph 3.2 above at 3° left and right of the V-V line do not differ by more than 0,2° for Class B and 0,3° for Classes A, C, D and E headlamps from the nominal position at the V-V line.

5.   INSTRUMENTAL VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT

If the ‘cut-off’ line complies with the above quality requirements, the vertical beam adjustment can be performed instrumentally. For this purpose the inflection point where d2 (log E)/dv2 = 0 is positioned on the V-V line in its nominal position below the h-h-line. The movement for measuring and adjusting the ‘cut-off’ line shall be upwards from below the nominal position.

5.1.

The LED module(s) shall be in the configuration as described in the technical specification as defined in paragraph 2.2.2 of this Regulation. Optical elements (secondary optics) shall be removed by the Technical Service at the request of the applicant by the use of tools. This procedure and the conditions during the measurements as described below shall be described in the test report.

| 5.2. | Three LED modules of each type shall be submitted by the applicant with the light source control gear, if applicable, and sufficient instructions.
  Suitable thermal management (e.g. heat sink) may be provided, to simulate similar thermal conditions as in the corresponding headlamp application.
  Before the test each LED module shall be aged at least for 48 hours under the same conditions as in the corresponding headlamp application.
  In the case of use of an integrating sphere, the sphere shall have a minimum diameter of one meter, and at least ten times the maximum dimension of the LED module, whichever is the largest. The flux measurements can also be performed by integration using a goniophotometer. The prescriptions in the CIE — Publication 84 — 1989, regarding the room temperature, positioning, etc., shall be taken into consideration.
  The LED module shall be burned in for approximately one hour in the closed sphere or goniophotometer.
  The flux shall be measured after stability has occurred, as explained in paragraph 4.3.1.2 of this Annex.
  The average of the measurements of the three samples of each type of LED module shall be deemed to be its objective luminous flux. |
