COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 27 July 1976
on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to
the end-outline marker lamps, front position (side) lamps, rear
position (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 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 same
requirements 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 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 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-signalling
devices 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 for
each Member State to check compliance with the common construction
and testing requirements and to inform the other Member States of its
findings 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 the
approved type obviates any need for technical checks on these front
position (side) lamps, rear position (side) lamps and stop lamps 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 Regulation
No 7 (‘Uniform provisions for the approval of position (side) lights, red
rear 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 and
reciprocal recognition of approval for motor vehicle equipment and
parts;
Whereas the approximation of national laws relating to motor vehicles
entails reciprocal recognition by Member States of the checks carried out
by each of them on the basis of the common requirements,!B

sistently 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 its
decision.
Article 4
The competent authorities of each Member State shall within one month
send to the competent authorities of the other Member States a copy of
the component type-approval certificates, an example of which is given
in Annex II, completed for each type of front position (side) lamp, rear
position (side) lamp and stop lamp which they approve or refuse to
approve.

1. If the Member State which has granted EEC component type-appro-
val finds that a number of front position (side) lamps, rear position (side)
lamps and stop lamps bearing the same EEC component type-approval
mark do not conform to the type which it has approved, it shall take the
necessary measures to ensure that production models conform to the
approved type. The competent authorities of that State shall advise those
of the other Member States of the measures taken, which may, where
there is consistent failure to conform, extend to withdrawal of EEC
component type-approval. The said authorities shall take the same
measures if they are informed by the competent authorities of another
Member State of such failure to conform.
2. The competent authorities of Member States shall within one month
inform each other of any withdrawal of EEC component type-approval,
and of the reasons for such a measure.!B1976L0758 — EN — 29.06.1987 — 003.001 — 3

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 ’and
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 ’from the direction of observation.
2. STANDARD LUMINOUS INTENSITY DISTRIBUTION TABLE
2.1. The direction H = 0° and V = 0° corresponds to the reference axis. (On
the vehicle it is horizontal, parallel to the median longitudinal plane of
the vehicle and oriented in the required direction of visibility). It passes
through the centre of reference. The values shown in the table give, forthe various directions of measurement, the minimum intensities as apercentage of the minimum required in the axis for each lamp (in the
direction H = 0° and V = 0°).
2.2. If visual examination of a lamp appears to reveal substantial local
variations of intensity, a check shall be made to ensure that no intensity
measured between two of the directions of measurement referred to in2.1 is:
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 a
fraction, expressed as a linear function, of the difference between theintensities prescribed for the said directions of measurement.!
