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 headlampswhich function
asmain-beam and/or dipped-beam headlampsand their filament lamps ;
Whereasthes e requirementsdiffer 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
wasthe s ubject of Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on
the approximation of the lawsof the Member Statesrelating to the type-approval of motor vehiclesand their trailers (
3), to be introduced in
respect of each type of vehicle;
Whereasin Directive 76/756/EEC(4), the Council laid down the
common requirements for the installation of lighting and light-signalling
deviceson motor vehiclesand their trailers ;
Whereasa harmonized type-approval procedure for headlampswhich
function asmain-beam and/or dipped-beam headlampsand theirfilament lamps makes it possible for each Member State to checkcompliance with the common construction and testing requirements andto inform the other Member Statesof itsfindingsby s ending a copy of
the component type-approval certificate completed for each type of such
headlamp or filament lamp; whereasthe placing of an EEC componenttype-approval mark on all headlamp devicesmanufactured in conformitywith the approved type obviatesany need for technical checkson thes eheadlamp devicesin the other Member States ;
Whereasit isdes irable 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’)(

(*) In the case of headlamps designed to meet the requirements of traffic moving on one
side of the road only (either right or left) it is further recommended that the area which
can be occulted to prevent discomfort to users in a country where traffic moves on the
side of the road opposite to that of the country for which the headlamp was designed
should be outlined indelibly on the front lens and explained in the maintenance book ofthe vehicles. This marking is not necessary, however where the area is clearly apparentfrom the design.
(**) If the lens cannot be separated from the main body of the headlamp, the provision of a
marking area on the lenswill s uffice.
