the Member States relating to the type-approval of
motor vehicles and their trailers (1), as last amended
by Directive 98/91/EC of the European Parliament and
the Council (2), and in particular Article 13(2)
of
thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 76/761/EEC of
27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the
Member States relating to motor vehicle headlamps

headlamps and to incandescent electric filament lamps
for such headlamps (3), as last amended by the Act of
Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in
particular Article 10 thereof,

(1) Whereas Directive 76/761/EEC is one of

the
separate Directives of
the EC type-approval
procedure which has been established by
Directive 70/156/EEC; whereas, consequently,
the provisions laid down in Directive 70/156/EEC
relating to vehicle systems, components and
separate
technical units apply to Directive
76/761/EEC;

(2) Whereas,

in

particular, Article

and
Article 4(3) of Directive 70/156/EEC require
each separate Directive to have attached to it an
information document and also a type-approval

order to maintain the equivalence envisaged by
Article 9(2) of Directive 70//156/EEC between
certain separate Directives and the corresponding
the United Nations’ Economic
regulations of
Commission for Europe (UN-ECE) when those
regulations are amended; whereas, as a first step,
the
of Directive

2.1.2.2.

for the test of plastic material of which the lenses are made:

2.1.2.2.1. thirteen lenses (fourteen lenses in the case of headlamps referred to in point 1.7.);

2.1.2.2.2. six (ten) of these lenses may be replaced by six (ten) samples of material, at least 60 mm (cid:148)
80 mm in size, having a flat or convex outer surface and a substantially flat area (radius of

In the case of headlamps (*):

3.1.1.1.

on the lens, the trade name or mark of the manufacturer;

3.1.1.2.

on the lens and on the main body (**), spaces of sufficient size for the approval mark
referred to in point 5; these spaces shall be indicated on the drawings referred to in
Appendix 1;

3.1.1.3.

if designed to satisfy the requirements of both right-hand and left-hand traffic, markings
indicating the two settings of the optical unit on the vehicle or of the light source on the
reflector; these markings shall consist of the letters “R/D” for the position for right-hand
traffic and the letters “L/G” for the position for left-hand traffic;

3.1.1.4. All beams of lamps referred to in point 1.7 may bear on their light-emitting surface a centre

lamps); this need not be indicated separately if it is part of the international designation of
the relevant filament lamp category;

3.1.2.5.

a space of sufficient size to accommodate the approval mark which shall be indicated on
the drawings referred to in Appendix 2.

3.1.2.6. Other inscriptions than those covered by points 3.1.2.1. to 3.1.2.5. and 6. may be affixed,

on the condition that they do not adversely affect the luminous characteristics.

3.1.3.

In the case of gas-discharge light sources on the cap:

3.1.3.1.

the trade name or mark of the manufacturer;

3.1.3.2.

the international designation of the relevant category;

3.1.3.3.

designation of the relevant category;

(*)

(**)

In the case of headlamps designed to meet the requirements of traffic moving on one side of the road only
(either right or left) it is further recommended that the area which can be occulted to prevent discomfort to
users in a country where traffic moves on the side of the road opposite to that of the country for which the
headlamp was designed should be outlined indelibly on the front lens and explained in the maintenance book
of the vehicles. This marking is not necessary, however where the area is clearly apparent from the design.
If the lens cannot be separated from the main body of the headlamp, the provision of a marking area on the
lens will suffice.

GRANTING OF EC COMPONENT TYPE-APPROVAL

4.1.

If the relevant requirements are satisfied, EC type-approval pursuant to Article 4(3) and, if
applicable, Article 4(4) of Directive 70/156/EEC shall be granted.

NB: Nothing in this Directive shall prevent a Member State from prohibiting the combination of a
headlamp incorporating a lens of plastic material approved under this Directive with a mechanical
headlamp-cleaning device (with wipers).

4.2.

A model for the EC type-approval certificate is given in

Appendix 3 for applications referred to in point 2.1.;

4.2.2.

Appendix 4 for applications referred to in point 2.2.

4.3.

4.4.

4.5.

An approval number in accordance with Annex VII to Directive 70/156/EEC shall be
assigned to each type of headlamp approved. The same Member State shall not assign the
same number to another type of headlamp.

Where EC component type approval is requested for a type of lighting and light-signalling
device comprising a headlamp and other lamps, a single EC component type-approval
number may be assigned provided that the headlamp complies with the requirements of this
Directive and that each of the other lamps forming part of the lighting and light-signalling
device for which EC component type approval is requested complies with the separate
Directive applying to it.

An approval code shall be assigned to each type of light source approved. It consists of an
identification code comprising not more than two characters selected from the Arabic
numerals and capital
letters listed in footnote (***), preceded by a one-digit sequence
number assigned to the most recent major technical amendment to the relevant Annex of
Directive 76/761/EEC on the date EC type approval was granted. In this Directive the
sequence number is

— 2 for Annex VII,

— 0 for Annex IX.

The same Member State shall not assign the same code to another type of light source.

on headlamps referred to in items 1.3., 1.4., 1.5. and 1.7. meeting the requirements of this
Directive in respect of the driving beam, an indication of the maximum luminous intensity
expressed by a reference mark, placed near the rectangle surrounding the letter “e”; in the
case of reciprocally incorporated headlamps, indication of the maximum luminous intensity
of the driving beams as a whole shall be expressed as above.

The reference mark mentioned above is defined in

— paragraph 6.3.2.1.2. of the documents referred to in item 2.1., of Annexes IV and V,

— paragraph 8.3.2.1.2. of the documents referred to in item 2.1 of Annex VI,

On headlamps meeting the requirements of this Directive which are so designed that the
filament of the passing beam shall not be lit simultaneously with that of any other lighting
function with which it may be reciprocally incorporated: an oblique stroke (/) shall be
placed behind the passing lamp symbol in the approval mark.

On headlamps referred to in items 1.1., 1.3. and 1.4. meeting the requirements of Annex
“X” to this Directive only when supplied with a voltage of 6 V or 12 V, a symbol consisting
of the number 24 crossed out by an oblique cross (X) shall be placed near the filament

EC component type approval was granted, together with the sequence number (see point
5.2.2.) and, where necessary, the required arrow shall be marked:

5.4.2.3.1. either on the appropriate light-emitting surface;

5.4.2.3.2. or in a group,

in such a way that each of

the grouped, combined or reciprocally

incorporated lamps may be clearly identified.

5.4.3.2.

in addition, where the same lens is used, the latter may bear the different approval marks
relating to different types of headlamps or units of lamps, provided that the main body of
the headlamp, even if it cannot be separated from the lens, also comprises the space
described in item 3.1.1.2. above and bears the approval marks of the actual functions;

5.4.3.3.

if different types of headlamps comprise the same main body, the latter may bear the
different approval marks.

a front position lamp (A) approved in accordance with Annex II to Directive 76/758/EEC, sequence No 02,
for left-hand installation;

a headlamp (HCR) with a passing beam designed for right-hand and left-hand traffic and driving beam with
a maximum intensity comprised between 86 250 and 101 250 candelas (as indicated by the number 30)
approved in accordance with Annex V to Directive 76/761/EEC, sequence No 02, and incorporating a lens of

either:

a headlamp with a passing beam designed for both traffic systems and a driving beam with a
maximum luminous intensity comprised between 52 500 and 67 500 candelas (as indicated by the
