COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 27July 197 6

relating to the end-outline marker lamps,front position(side) lamps,rear position (side) lamps, stop lamps, daytime running lamps and
side marker lamps for motor vehicles and their trailers ◄
(76/758/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 their end-outline marker
lamps, front position (side) lamps, rear position (side) lamps and stop
lamps;
Whereas those 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, in
order, in particular, to allow the EEC type-approval procedure which
was the subject of Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 onthe 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 each type of vehicle;
Whereas in Directive 76/756/EEC (4), the Council laid down the
common requirements for the installation of lighting and light-signallingdevices on motor vehicles and their trailers;
Whereas a harmonized type-approval procedure for front position (side)
lamps, rear position (side) lamps and stop lamps makes it possible foreach Member State to check compliance with the common constructionand testing requirements and to inform the other Member States of itsfindings by sending a copy of the component type-approval certificate
completed for each type of front position (side) lamp, rear position (side)
lamp and stop lamp; whereas the placing of an EEC component type-approval mark on all lamps manufactured in conformity with theapproved type obviates any need for technical checks on these frontposition (side) lamps, rear position (side) lamps and stop lamps in theother Member States;
Whereas it is desirable to take into account the technical requirements
adopted by the UN Economic Commission for Europe in its RegulationNo 7 (‘Uniform provisions for the approval of position (side) lights, redrear lights and stop lights for motor vehicles (except motor cycles) and
their trailers’) (
5), which is annexed to the Agreement of 20 March 1958
concerning the adoption of uniform conditions for approval andreciprocal recognition of approval for motor vehicle equipment andparts;
Whereas the approximation of national laws relating to motor vehicles
entails reciprocal recognition by Member States of the checks carriedout by each of them on the basis of the common requirements,1976L0758 — EN — 20.07.1997 — 006.001 — 2

the other Member States. Such verification shall be limited to spot
checks.
Article 2
Member States shall for each type of end-outline marker lamp, front
position (side) lamp, rear position (side) lamp, stop lamp, daytime
running lamp and side marker lamp which they approve pursuant toArticle 1, issue to the manufacturer an EC component type-approvalmark conforming to the models shown in Annex I, Appendix 3.
Member States shall take all appropriate measures to prevent the use of
marks liable to create confusion between end-outline marker lamps,front position (side) lamps, rear position (side) lamps, stop lamps,daytime running lamps and side marker lamps which have been type-approved pursuant to Article 1, and other devices.
Article 3
1. No Member State may prohibit the placing on the market of end-
outline marker lamps, front position (side) lamps, rear position (side)
lamps, stop lamps, daytime running lamps and side marker lamps on
grounds relating to their construction or method of functioning if theybear the EC component type-approval mark.
2. Nevertheless, a Member State may prohibit the placing on the
market of end-outline marker lamps, front position (side) lamps, rearposition (side) lamps, stop lamps, daytime running lamps and sidemarker lamps bearing the EC component type-approval mark whichconsistently fail to conform to the approved type.
That State shall forthwith inform the other Member States and the
Commission of the measures taken, specifying the reasons for itsdecision.
Article 4
The competent authorities of the Member States shall inform each other,
by means of the procedure specified in Article 4 (6) of Directive 70/156/EEC, of each approval which they have granted, refused or withdrawn
pursuant to this Directive.
Article 5
1. If the Member State which has granted EC component type-
approval finds that a number of end-outline marker lamps, front position(side) lamps, rear position (side) lamps, stop lamps, daytime running
lamps and side marker lamps bearing the same EC component type-
approval mark do not conform to the type which it has approved, it shalltake the necessary measures to ensure that production models conformto the approved type. The competent authorities of that State shall advisethose of the other Member States of the measures taken, which may,where there is consistent failure to conform, extend to withdrawal of EC1976L0758 — EN — 20.07.1997 — 006.001 — 3

No Member State may refuse to grant EC type-approval or national
type-approval of any vehicle on grounds relating to its end-outlinemarker lamps, front position (side) lamps, rear position (side) lamps,
stop lamps, daytime running lamps and side marker lamps if these bear
the EC component type-approval mark and are fitted in accordance withthe requirements laid down in Directive 76/756/EEC.
Article 8
No Member State may refuse or prohibit the sale, registration, entry into
