COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 27July 197 6
on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to
the end-outline marker lamps, front position (side) lamps, rearposition (side) lamps and stop 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 proposalfrom the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (
1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and SocialCommittee (2),
Whereas the technicalrequirements which motor vehicl es must satisfy
pursuant to national laws relate inter alia to their end-outline marker
lamps, front position (side) lamps, rear position (side) lamps and stoplamps;
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, inorder, in particular, to allow the EEC type-approval procedure whichwas the subject of CouncilDirective 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 onthe approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to thetype-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 Councill aid down the
common requirements for the installation of lighting and light-signallingdevices on motor vehicles and their trailers;
Whereas a harmonized type-approvalprocedure 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-approvalcertificatecompleted for each type of front position (side) lamp, rear position(side) lamp and stop lamp; whereas the placing of an EEC componenttype-approvalmark on al ll amps manufactured in conformity with theapproved type obviates any need for technicalchecks 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 approvalof position (side) l ights, redrear lights and stop lights for motor vehicles (except motor cycles) andtheir trailers')(
5), which is annexed to the Agreement of 20 March 1958
concerning the adoption of uniform conditions for approvaland reci-procalrecognition of approvalfor motor vehicl e equipment and parts;
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,

ANNEX IV
PHOTOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS
1. MEASUREMENT METHODS
1.1. During photometric measurements, stray reflections shall be prevented by
appropriate masking.
1.2. Should the results of measurements be challenged, measurements shall be
carried out in such a way as to meet the following requirements:
1.2.1. the distance of measurement shall be such that the law of the inverse of
the square of the distance is applicable;
1.2.2. the measuring equipment shall be such that the angular aperture of the
receiver viewed from the reference centre of the light is between 10 /prime1and
one degree;
1.2.3. the intensity requirement for a particular direction of observation shall be
deemed to be satisfied if that requirement is met in a direction deviatingby not more than 15 /prime1from the direction of observation.
2. STANDARD LUMINOUS INTENSITY DISTRIBUTION TABLE
2.1. The directio nH=0 °a n dV=0 °corresponds to the reference axis. (On
the vehicle it is horizontal, parallel to the median longitudinal plane of thevehicle and oriented in the required direction of visibility). It passesthrough the centre of reference. The values shown in the table give, for thevarious directions of measurement, the minimum intensities as apercentage of the minimum required in the axis for each lamp (in thedirectio nH=0 °a n dV=0 °).
2.2. If visualexamination of a l amp appears to revealsubstantiall ocalvari-
ations of intensity, a check shall be made to ensure that no intensitymeasured between two of the directions of measurement referred to in 2.1is:
2.2.1. for a minimum specification, below 50 % of the lower of the two
minimum intensities prescribed for these directions of measurements;
2.2.2. for a maximum specification, above the lower of the two maximum
intensities prescribed for these directions of measurement, increased by afraction, expressed as a linear function, of the difference between theintensities prescribed for the said directions of measurement.
