(76/761/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(
1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),
Whereas the technical requirements which motor vehicles must satisfy
pursuant to national laws relate inter alia to headlamps which function
as main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamps and their filament lamps;
Whereas these requirements differ from one Member State to another;
whereas it is therefore necessary that all Member States adopt the samerequirements either in addition to or in place of their existing rules, inorder, in particular, to allow the EEC type-approval procedure which
was the subject of Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on
the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers(
3), to be introduced in
respect of eachtype of veh icle;
Whereas in Directive 76/756/EEC(4), the Council laid down the
common requirements for the installation of lighting and light-signalling
devices on motor vehicles and their trailers;
Whereas a harmonized type-approval procedure for headlamps which
function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamps and theirfilament lamps makes it possible for eachMember State to ch eckcompliance withth e common construction and testing requirements andto inform the other Member States of its findings by sending a copy of
the component type-approval certificate completed for each type of such
headlamp or filament lamp; whereas the placing of an EEC componenttype-approval mark onall headlamp devices manufactured in conformitywith the approved type obviates any need for technical checks on theseheadlamp devices in the other Member States;
Whereas it is desirable to take into account the technical requirements
adopted by the UN Economic Commission for Europe in its Regulations
No 1 (‘Uniform provisions for the approval of motor vehicle headlightsemitting an asymmetrical passing beam or a driving beam or both’)(
5)
and No 2 (‘Uniform provisions concerning approval of incandescentelectrical lamps for headlights emitting an asymmetrical passing beamor a driving beam or both’)(

20 March1958 concerning th e adoption of uniform conditions for
approval and reciprocal recognition of approval for motor vehiclesequipment and parts;1976L0761 — EN — 02.05.1999 — 006.001 — 2
