Provisions concerning passing beam The system shall, prior to the subsequent test procedures, be set to the neutral state, emitting the class C passing beam. For each side of the system (vehicle) the passing beam in its neutral state shall produce from at least one lighting unit a ‘cut-off’ as defined in Annex 8 to this Regulation or, 6.2.1.1. the system shall provide other means, e.g. optical features or temporary auxiliary beams, allowing for unambiguous and correct aiming. 6.2.1.2. Annex 8 does not apply to the traffic-change function as described in paragraph 5.8. through 5.8.2.1. above. 6.2.2. The system or part(s) thereof shall be so aimed that the position of the cut-off complies with the requirements indicated in Table 2 of Annex 3 to this Regulation. 6.2.3. When so aimed, the system or part(s) thereof, if its approval is sought solely for provision of the passing beam, needs to comply with the requirements set out in the relevant paragraphs below; if it is intended to provide additional lighting or light signalling functions according to the scope of this Regulation, it shall comply in addition with the requirements set out in the relevant paragraphs below, if not being adjustable independently. 6.2.4. Where a system or any part(s) thereof so aimed do not meet the requirements as indicated in paragraph 6.2.3. above, its alignment may, according to the instructions of the manufacturer, be changed, within 0,5 deg to the right or left and vertically 0,2 deg up or down, with respect to the initial aiming. 6.2.5. When emitting a specified mode of the passing beam, the system shall meet the requirements in the respective section (C, V, E, W) of part A of Table 1 (photometric values) and in Table 2 (Emax and ‘cut-off’ positions) of Annex 3 to this Regulation, as well as section 1 (‘cut-off’ requirements) of Annex 8 to this Regulation. A bending mode may be emitted, provided that: 6.2.6.1. the system meets the respective requirements of part B of Table 1 (photometric values) and item 2 of Table 2 (‘cut-off’ provisions) of Annex 3 to this Regulation, when measured according to the procedure indicated in Annex 9, relevant to the category (either category 1 or category 2) of the bending mode, for which approval is sought; 6.2.6.2. Emax of the illumination does not lie outside of the rectangle extending from the uppermost vertical position specified in Table 2 of Annex 3 to this Regulation for the respective passing beam class, to 2 deg below H-H and from 45 deg left to 45 deg right of the system reference axis; 6.2.6.3. when the T-signal corresponds to the vehicle's smallest turn radius to the left (or right), the system provides at least 3 lx at one or more points in the zone extending from H-H to 2 deg below H-H and from 10 to 45 deg left (or right) of the system reference axis; 6.2.6.4. if approval is sought for a category 1 bending mode, the use of the system is restricted to vehicles where provisions are taken such that the horizontal position of the ‘kink’ of the ‘cut-off’ which is provided by the system, complies with the relevant provisions of paragraph 6.22.7.4.5. (i) of Regulation No 48; if approval is sought for a category 1 bending mode, the system is designed so that, in the case of a failure affecting the lateral movement or modification of the illumination, it must be possible to obtain automatically either photometric conditions corresponding to paragraph 6.2.5. above or a state with respect to the photometric conditions which yields values not exceeding 1,5 lx in the zone IIIb, as defined in Annex 3 to this Regulation, and at least 4 lx in a point of ‘segment Emax’; 6.2.6.5.1. however, this is not needed, if for positions relative to the system reference axis up to 5 deg left, at 0,3 deg up from H-H, and greater than 5 deg left, at 0,57 deg up, a value of 1 lx is in no case exceeded. 6.2.7. The system shall be checked on the basis of the relevant instructions of the manufacturer, indicated in the safety concept according to paragraph 2.2.2.1. above. 6.2.8. A system or part(s) thereof, designed to meet the requirements of both right-hand and left-hand traffic must, in each of the two setting positions, according to 5.4. above meet the requirements specified for the corresponding direction of traffic. The system shall be so made that: 6.2.9.1. any specified passing beam mode provides at least 3 lx at point 50 V from each side of the system; the mode(s) of the Class V passing beam are exempted from this requirement; 6.2.9.2. four seconds after switching on the system, which has not been operated for 30 minutes or more, at least 5 lx must be reached at point 50 V of the class C passing beam; 6.2.9.3. other modes: when signal inputs according to paragraph 6.1.4.3. of this Regulation apply, the requirements of the paragraph 6.2. shall be fulfilled. 6.3. Provisions concerning driving beam The system shall, prior to the subsequent test procedures, be set to the neutral state. The lighting unit(s) of the system shall be adjusted, according to the instructions of the manufacturer, such that the area of maximum illumination is centred on the point (HV) of intersection of the lines H-H and V-V; 6.3.1.1. any lighting unit(s) which is/are not independently adjustable, or, for which the aiming was done with respect to any measurements under paragraphs 6.2., shall be tested in its/their unchanged position. When measured according to the provisions laid down in Annex 9 to this Regulation the illumination shall meet the following requirements. HV shall be situated within the isolux 80 per cent of maximum illumination of the driving beam. 6.3.2.1.1. This maximum value (EM) shall not be less than 48 lx. The maximum value shall in no circumstances exceed 240 lx; 6.3.2.1.2. The maximum intensity (IM) of each installation unit providing or contributing to the maximum intensity of the driving beam, expressed in thousands of candelas shall be calculated by the formula: IM = 0,625 EM 6.3.2.1.3. The reference mark (I′M) of this maximum intensity, referred to in paragraph 4.2.2.9. above, shall be obtained by the ratio: This value shall be rounded off to the value of: 5 - 10 - 12,5 - 17,5 - 20 - 25 - 27,5 - 30 - 37,5 - 40 - 45 - 50. 6.3.2.2. Starting from point HV, horizontally to the right and left, the illumination of the driving beam shall be not less than 24 lx up to 2,6 deg and not less than 6 lx up to 5,2 deg.

Driving beam, under neutral state conditions: point of Emax. Another aiming may be carried out to allow for any deformation of the test sample base due to heat (the change of the position of the cut-off line is covered in paragraph 2. of this annex). A 10 per cent discrepancy between the photometric characteristics and the values measured prior to the test is permissible including the tolerances of the photometric procedure. 1.2. Dirty test sample After being tested as specified in paragraph 1.1. above, the test sample shall be operated for one hour as described in paragraph 1.1.1. for each function or class of passing beam (26), after being prepared as prescribed in paragraph 1.2.1., and checked as prescribed in paragraph 1.1.2.; after each test a sufficient cooling down period must be assured. 1.2.1.

The mixture must not be more than 14 days old. 1.2.1.5. Application of the test mixture to the test sample: The test mixture shall be uniformly applied to the entire light- emitting surface(s) of the test sample and then left to dry. This procedure shall be repeated until the illuminating value has dropped to 15-20 per cent of the values measured for each following point under the conditions described in this annex: point Emax in driving beam, under neutral state conditions, 50V for a class C passing beam, and each specified passing beam mode. 2. TEST FOR CHANGE IN VERTICAL POSITION OF THE ‘CUT-OFF’ LINE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HEAT This test consists of verifying that the vertical drift of the cut-off line under the influence of heat does not exceed a specified value for a system or part(s) of emitting a class C (basic) passing beam, or each specified passing beam mode. If the test sample consists of more than one lighting unit or more than one assembly of lighting units which provide a cut-off, each of these is understood to be a test sample for the purpose of this test and must be tested separately. The test sample tested in accordance with paragraph 1. shall be subjected to the test described in paragraph 2.1., without being removed from or readjusted in relation to its test fixture. If the test sample has a moving optical part, only the position closest to the average vertical angular stroke and/or the initial position according to the neutral state is chosen for this test. The test is confined to signal input conditions corresponding to a straight road, only. 2.1. Test For the purpose of this test, the voltage shall be adjusted as specified in paragraph 1.1.1.2. The test sample shall be operated and tested on class C passing beam, class V passing beam, class E passing beam and class W passing beam, whatever applies. The position of the cut-off line in its horizontal part between VV and the vertical line passing through point B50L (or R) shall be verified 3 minutes (r3) and 60 minutes (r60) respectively after operation. The measurement of the variation in the cut-off line position as described above shall be carried out by any method giving acceptable accuracy and reproducible results. 2.2. Test results 2.2.1. The result expressed in milliradians (mrad) shall be considered as acceptable for a passing beam test sample, when the absolute value recorded on the test sample is not more than 1,0 mrad (Δ rI ≤ 1,0 mrad). 2.2.2. However, if this value is more than 1,0 mrad but not more than 1,5 mrad (1,0 mrad < Δ rI ≤ 1,5 mrad), a second test sample shall be tested as described in paragraph 2.1. after being subjected three consecutive times to the cycle as described below, in order to stabilize the position of mechanical parts of the test sample on a base representative of the correct installation on the vehicle: Operation of the passing beam for one hour, (the voltage shall be adjusted as specified in paragraph 1.1.1.2.); Period of rest for one hour. The system or part thereof shall be considered as acceptable if the mean value of the absolute values Δ rI measured on the first test sample and Δ rII measured on the second test sample is not more than 1,0 mrad.

ANNEX 5 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION CONTROL PROCEDURES 1. GENERAL 1.1. The conformity requirements shall be considered satisfied from a mechanical and a geometrical standpoint, if the differences do not exceed inevitable manufacturing deviations within the requirements of this Regulation. This condition also applies to colour. With respect to photometric performances, the conformity of mass- produced systems shall not be contested if, when testing photometric performances of any system chosen at random and equipped with a light source energized, and if applicable corrected, as prescribed in paragraphs 1. and 2. of Annex 9 to this Regulation: no value measured and corrected according to the prescriptions of paragraph 2. of Annex 9 to this Regulation deviates unfavourably by more than 20 per cent from the value prescribed in this Regulation; 1.2.1.1. For the following values of the passing beam and its modes, the maximum unfavourable deviation may be respectively: maximum values at point B50L 0,2 lx equivalent 20 per cent and 0,3 lx equivalent 30 per cent; maximum values at zone III, HV and segment BLL: 0,3 lx equivalent 20 per cent and 0,45 lx equivalent 30 per cent; maximum values at segments E, F1, F2 and F3: 0,2 lx equivalent 20 per cent and 0,3 lx equivalent 30 per cent; minimum values at BR, P, S 50, S 50LL, S 50RR, S 100, S 100LL, S 100RR, and those required by footnote 4 of Table 1 in Annex 3 of this Regulation (B50L, HV, BR, BRR, BLL): half of the required value equivalent 20 per cent and three quarter of the required value equivalent 30 per cent; 1.2.1.2. for the driving beam, HV being situated within the isolux 0,75 Emax, a tolerance of + 20 per cent for maximum values and –20 per cent for minimum values is observed for the photometric values at any measuring point specified in paragraph 6.3.2. of this Regulation. 1.2.2. If the results of the test described above do not meet the requirements, the alignment of the system may be changed, provided that the axis of the beam is not displaced laterally by more than 0,5 deg to the right or left and not by more than 0,2 deg up and down, each independently and with respect to the first aiming. These provisions do not apply to lighting units as indicated under paragraph 6.3.1.1. of this Regulation. 1.2.3. If the results of the tests described above do not meet the requirements, tests shall be repeated using another standard (étalon) light source and/or another supply and operating device. 1.3. With respect to the verification of the change in vertical position of the ‘cut-off’ line for passing beam under the influence of heat, the following procedure shall be applied: One of the sampled systems shall be tested according to the procedure described in paragraph 2.1. of Annex 4 after being subjected three consecutive times to the cycle described in paragraph 2.2.2. of Annex 4. The system shall be considered as acceptable if Δr does not exceed 1,5 mrad. If this value exceeds 1,5 mrad but is not more than 2,0 mrad, a second sample shall be subjected to the test after which the mean of the absolute values recorded on both samples shall not exceed 1,5 mrad. 1.4. The chromaticity co-ordinates as defined in paragraph 7. of this Regulation shall be conformed to. 2. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR VERIFICATION OF CONFORMITY BY THE MANUFACTURER For each type of system the holder of the approval mark shall carry out at least the following tests, at appropriate intervals. The tests shall be carried out in accordance with the provision of this Regulation. If any sampling shows non-conformity with regard to the type of test concerned, further samples shall be taken and tested. The manufacturer shall take steps to ensure the conformity of the production concerned. 2.1. Nature of tests Tests of conformity in this Regulation shall cover the photometric characteristics and the verification of the change in vertical position of the cut-off line for passing beam under the influence of heat. 2.2. Methods used in tests 2.2.1. Tests shall generally be carried out in accordance with the methods set out in this Regulation. 2.2.2. In any test of conformity carried out by the manufacturer, equivalent methods may be used with the consent of the competent authority responsible for approval tests. The manufacturer is responsible for proving that the applied methods are equivalent to those laid down in this Regulation. 2.2.3. The application of paragraphs 2.2.1. and 2.2.2. requires regular calibration of test apparatus and its correlation with measurement made by a competent authority. 2.2.4. In all cases the reference methods shall be those of this Regulation, particular for the purpose of administrative verification and sampling. 2.3. Nature of sampling Samples of systems shall be selected at random from the production of a uniform batch. A uniform batch means a set of systems of the same type, defined according to the production methods of the manufacturer. The assessment shall, in general, cover series production from individual factories. However, a manufacturer may group together records concerning the same type from several factories provided these operate under the same quality system and quality management. 2.4. Measured and recorded photometric characteristics The sampled headlamps shall be subjected to photometric measurements at the points provided for in the Regulation, the reading being limited: to points Emax, HV (28), ‘HL’ and ‘HR’ (29) in the case of a driving beam, to points B50L, HV if applicable, 50V, 75R if applicable, and 25LL in the case of the passing beam(s) (see Figure 1 in Annex 3). 2.5. Criteria governing acceptability The manufacturer is responsible for carrying out a statistical study of the test results and for defining, in agreement with the competent authority, criteria governing acceptability of his products in order to meet the specification laid down for verification of conformity of products in paragraph 9.1. of this Regulation. The criteria governing acceptability shall be such that, with a confidence level of 95 per cent, the minimum probability of passing a spot check in accordance with Annex 7 (first sampling) would be 0,95.

Application of the test mixture Soak a piece of cotton cloth (as per ISO 105) until saturation with the mixture defined in paragraph 2.2.2.1. above and, within 10 seconds, apply it for 10 minutes to the outer face of the sample at a pressure of 50 N/cm2, corresponding to an effort of 100 N applied on a test surface of 14 × 14 mm. During this 10-minute period, the cloth pad shall be soaked again with the mixture so that the composition of the liquid applied is continuously identical with that of the test mixture prescribed.

ANNEX 6 Appendix 2 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT OF THE DIFFUSION AND TRANSMISSION OF LIGHT 1. EQUIPMENT (see Figure 1 below) The beam of a collimator K with a half divergence β/2 = 17,4 × 10–4 rad is limited by a diaphragm Dτ with an opening of 6 mm against which the sample stand is placed. A convergent achromatic lens L2, corrected for spherical aberrations links the diaphragm Dτ with the receiver R; the diameter of the lens L2 shall be such that it does not diaphragm the light diffused by the sample in a cone with a half top angle of β/2 = 14 deg. An annular diaphragm DD, with angles α0/2 = 1 deg and αmax/2 = 12 deg is placed in an image focal plane of the lens L2. The non-transparent central part of the diaphragm is necessary in order to eliminate the light arriving directly from the light source. It shall be possible to remove the central part of the diaphragm from the light beam in such a manner that it returns exactly to its original position. The distance L2 Dτ and the focal length F2 of the lens L2 shall be so chosen that the image of Dτ completely covers the receiver R. For L2 it is recommended to use a focal distance of about 80 mm. When the initial incident flux is referred to 1 the absolute precision of each reading shall be better than 0,001. 2. MEASUREMENTS The following readings shall be taken: Reading With sample With central part of DD Quantity represented T1 No No Incident flux in initial reading T2 Yes (before test) No Flux transmitted by the new material in a field of 24 deg T3 Yes (before test) No Flux transmitted by the tested material in a field of 24 deg T4 Yes (before test) Yes Flux diffused by the new material T5 Yes (before test) Yes Flux diffused by the tested material

TEST The outer surface of the lamp lenses shall be subjected once or more than once to the action of the sand jet produced as described above. The jet shall be sprayed almost perpendicular to the surface to be tested. The deterioration shall be checked by means of one or more samples of glass placed as a reference near the lenses to be tested. The mixture shall be sprayed until the variation in the diffusion of light on the sample or samples measured by the method described in Appendix 2, is such that: Δd = (T5 – T4) / T2 = 0,0250 ± 0,0025. Several reference samples may be used to check that the whole surface to be tested has deteriorated homogeneously.

ANNEX 6 Appendix 4 ADHESIVE TAPE ADHERENCE TEST 1. PURPOSE This method allows to determine under standard conditions the linear force of adhesion of an adhesive tape to a glass plate. 2. PRINCIPLE Measurement of the force necessary to unstick an adhesive tape from a glass plate at an angle of 90 deg. 3. SPECIFIED ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS The ambient conditions shall be at 23 οC ± 5 οC and 65 ± 15 per cent relative humidity. 4. TEST PIECES Before the test, the sample roll of adhesive tape shall be conditioned for 24 hours in the specified atmosphere (see paragraph 3. above). Five test pieces each 400 mm long shall be tested from each roll. These test pieces shall be taken from the roll after the first three turns were discarded. 5. PROCEDURE The test shall be under the ambient conditions specified in paragraph 3. Take the five test pieces while unrolling the tape radially at a speed of approximately 300 mm/s, then apply them within 15 seconds in the following manner: Apply the tape to the glass plate progressively with a slight length- wise rubbing movement of the finger, without excessive pressure, in such a manner as to leave no air bubble between the tape and the glass plate. Leave the assembly in the specified atmospheric conditions for 10 minutes. Unstick about 25 mm of the test piece from the plate in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the test piece. Fix the plate and fold back the free end of the tape at 90 deg. Apply force in such a manner that the separation line between the tape and the plate is perpendicular to this force and perpendicular to the plate. Pull to unstick at a speed of 300 mm/s ± 30 mm/s and record the force required. 6. RESULTS The five values obtained shall be arranged in order and the median value taken as a result of the measurement. This value shall be expressed in Newton per centimetre of width of the tape.

ANNEX 7 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR SAMPLING BY AN INSPECTOR 1. GENERAL 1.1. The conformity requirements shall be considered satisfied from a mechanical and a geometrical standpoint, if the differences do not exceed inevitable manufacturing deviations within the requirements of this Regulation. This condition also applies to colour. With respect to photometric performances, the conformity of mass- produced systems shall not be contested if, when testing photometric performances of any system chosen at random and equipped with a light source energized, and if applicable corrected, as prescribed in paragraphs 1. and 2. of Annex 9 to this Regulation. No value deviates unfavourably by more than 20 per cent from the value prescribed in this Regulation; 1.2.1.1. For the following values of the passing beam and its modes, the maximum unfavourable deviation may be respectively: — maximum values at point B50L 0,2 lx equivalent 20 per cent and 0,3 lx equivalent 30 per cent; — maximum values at zone III, HV and segment BLL: 0,3 lx equivalent 20 per cent and 0,45 lx equivalent 30 per cent; — maximum values at segments E, F1, F2 and F3: 0,2 lx equivalent 20 per cent and 0,3 lx equivalent 30 per cent; — minimum values at BR, P, S50, S50LL, S50RR, S100, S100LL, S100RR, and those required by footnote 4 of Table 1 in Annex 3 of this Regulation (B50L, HV, BR, BRR, BLL): half of the required value is equivalent to 20 per cent and three quarters of the required value equivalent to 30 per cent; 1.2.1.2. for the driving beam, HV being situated within the isolux 0,75 Emax, a tolerance of + 20 per cent for maximum values and –20 per cent for minimum values is observed for the photometric values at any measuring point specified in paragraph 6.3.2. of this Regulation. 1.2.2. If the results of the test described above do not meet the requirements, the alignment of the system may be changed, provided that the axis of the beam is not displaced laterally by more than 0,5 deg to the right or left and not by more than 0,2 deg up and down. These provisions do not apply to lighting units as indicated under paragraph 6.3.1.1. of this Regulation. 1.2.3. If the results of the tests described above do not meet the requirements, tests shall be repeated using another standard (étalon) light source and/or another supply and operating device. 1.2.4. Systems with apparent defects are disregarded. 1.2.5. The reference mark is disregarded. 2. FIRST SAMPLING In the first sampling four systems are selected at random.
