(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, fron t position(side) lamps, rear position(side) lamps an d stop
lamps;
Whereas those requirements differ from one Member State to another;
whereas it is therefore necessary that all Member States adopt the samerequiremen ts either inadditionto or inplace of their existin g rules, in
order, inparticular, to allow the EEC type-approval procedure which
was the subject of Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970onthe approximationof the laws of the Member States relatin g to thetype-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (
3), to be introduced
inrespect of each type of vehicle;
Whereas inDirective 76/756/EEC (4), the Council laid down the
common requirements for the installation of lighting and light-signal-
ling devices on motor vehicles and their trailers;
Whereas a harmonized type-approval procedure for front position (side)
lamps, rear position(side) lamps an d stop lamps makes it possible foreach 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 certificatecompleted for each type of front position (side) lamp, rear position(side) lamp and stop lamp; whereas the placing of an EEC componenttype-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 an d stop lamps intheother 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, 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 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 onthe basis of the commonrequiremen ts,1976L0758 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 007.001 — 2

Article 1
1. Member States shall grant EC component type-approval in
respect of any type of end-outline marker lamps, front position (side)lamps, rear position (side) lamps, stop lamps, daytime running lampsand side marker lamps which satisfies the construction and testing
requirements laid down in the relevant Annexes.
2. The Member State which has granted EEC component type-
approval shall take the measures required inorder to verify thatproductionmodels con form to the approved type, inso far as this isnecessary and if need be in cooperation with the competent authorities
inthe other Member States. Such verificationshall 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 its deci-sion.
Article 4
The competent authorities of the Member States shall inform each
other, by means of the procedure specified in Article 4 (6) of Directive70/156/EEC, of each approval which they have granted, refused or
withdrawnpursuan t 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 posi-tion(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 shall take the necessary measures to ensure that production modelsconform to the approved type. The competent authorities of that Stateshall advise those of the other Member States of the measures taken,which may, where there is consistent failure to conform, extend to1976L0758 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 007.001 — 3

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.
Article 6
Any decision taken pursuant to the provisions adopted in implementa-
tion of this Directive, to refuse or withdraw EC component type-approval for end-outline marker lamps, front position (side) lamps,rear position (side) lamps, stop lamps, daytime running lamps andside marker lamps, or prohibit their placing on the market or use shall
set out in detail the reasons on which it is based. Such decisions shall
be notified to the party concerned, who shall at the same time beinformed of the remedies available to him under the laws in force inthe Member States and of the time limits allowed for the exercise ofsuch remedies.
Article 7
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, fron t position(side) lamps, rear position(side) lamps,stop lamps, daytime running lamps and side marker lamps if thesebear the EC component type-approval mark and are fitted in accor-dance with the requirements laid down in Directive 76/756/EEC.
