EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

In  the  context  of  a  people’s  Europe,  the  Commission  attaches  great  importance  to 
simplifying  and  clarifying  Community  law  so  as  to  make  it  clearer  and  more 
accessible to the ordinary citizen, thus giving him new opportunities and the chance 
to make use of the specific rights it gives him. 

This aim cannot be achieved so long as numerous provisions that have been amended 
several times, often quite substantially, remain scattered, so that they must be sought 
partly  in  the  original  instrument  and  partly  in  later  amending  ones.  Considerable 
research work, comparing many different instruments, is thus needed to identify the 
current rules. 

For  this  reason  a  codification  of  rules  that  have  frequently  been  amended  is  also 
essential if Community law is to be clear and transparent. 

On  1  April  1987  the  Commission  therefore  decided1  to  instruct  its  staff  that  all 
legislative acts should be codified after no more than ten amendments, stressing that 
this  is  a  minimum  requirement  and  that  departments  should  endeavour  to  codify  at 
even  shorter  intervals  the  texts  for  which  they  are  responsible,  to  ensure  that  the 
Community rules are clear and readily understandable. 

The  Conclusions  of 
the  Edinburgh  European  Council 
(December 1992) confirmed this2, stressing the importance of codification as it offers 
certainty as to the law applicable to a given matter at a given time. 

the  Presidency  of 

Codification  must  be  undertaken  in  full  compliance  with  the  normal  Community 
legislative procedure. 

Given  that  no  changes  of  substance  may  be  made  to  the  instruments  affected  by 
codification, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission have agreed, 
by  an  interinstitutional  agreement  dated  20  December  1994,  that  an  accelerated 
procedure may be used for the fast-track adoption of codification instruments. 

is 

this  proposal 

to  undertake  a  codification  of  Council 
The  purpose  of 
Directive 93/92/EEC  of  29  October  1993  on  the  installation  of  lighting  and 
light-signalling  devices  on  two  or  three-wheel  motor  vehicles3.  The  new  Directive 
will  supersede  the  various  acts  incorporated  in  it4;  this  proposal  fully  preserves  the 
content  of  the  acts  being  codified  and  hence  does  no  more  than  bringing  them 
together  with  only  such  formal  amendments  as  are  required  by  the  codification 
exercise itself. 

COM(87) 868 PV. 
See Annex 3 to Part A of the Conclusions. 
Carried out pursuant to the Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and the 
Council – Codification of the Acquis communautaire, COM(2001) 645 final.

The codification proposal was drawn up on the basis of a preliminary consolidation, 
in  all  official  languages,  of  Directive  93/92/EEC  and  the  instrument  amending  it, 
carried out by the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, by 
means  of  a  data-processing  system.  Where  the  Articles  have  been  given  new 
numbers,  the  correlation  between  the  old and  the  new  numbers  is  shown  in  a  table 
contained in Annex VIII to the codified Directive.

which do not differ in such essential respects as: 

1.1. 

the dimensions and outer shape of the vehicle; 

1.2. 

the number and positioning of the devices; 

1.3. 

the following are, likewise, considered not to be «vehicles of a different type»: 

1.3.1.

as to entail a change in the type, number, positioning and geometric visibility of the 
lamps prescribed for the vehicle type in question; 

1.3.2. 

vehicles on which optional lamps component type-approved by virtue of a Directive 
are fitted or are absent; 

2.

   EN 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
5.1. 

single lamp 

means a device or part of a device, having one function and one illuminating surface 
and one or more light sources. For the purpose of installation on a vehicle, a “single 
lamp”  also  means  any  assembly  of  two  independent  or  grouped  lamps,  whether 
identical  or  not,  having  the  same  function,  if  they  are  installed  such  that  the 
projections  of  the  illuminating  surfaces  of  the  lamps  on  a  given  transverse  plane 
occupy not less than 60 % of the smallest rectangle circumscribing the projections of 
the said illuminating surfaces. 

In such a case, each of these lamps is, where approval is required, to be approved as 
a type “D” lamp; 

5.2. 

equivalent lamps 

means  lamps  having  the  same  function  and  authorized  in  the  country  in  which  the 
vehicle  is  registered;  such  lamps  may  have  different  characteristics  from  those 
installed  on  the  vehicle  when  it  is  approved  on  condition  that  they  satisfy  the 
requirements of this Annex; 

5.3. 

independent lamps 

means lamps having separate illuminating surfaces, light sources and lamp bodies; 

5.4. 

grouped lamps 

means lamps having separate illuminating surfaces and light sources, but a common

combined lamps 

means lamps having separate illuminating surfaces but a common light source and a 
common lamp body; 

5.6. 

reciprocally incorporated lamps 

means devices having separate light sources or a single light source operating under 
different  conditions  (e.g.  optical,  mechanical  or  electrical  differences),  totally  or 
partially common illuminating surfaces and a common lamp body; 

5.7. 

main-beam headlamp 

means the lamp used to illuminate the road over a long distance ahead of the vehicle; 

5.8. 

dipped-beam headlamp 

means  the  lamp  used  to  illuminate  the  road  ahead  of  the  vehicle  without  causing 
undue dazzle or discomfort to oncoming drivers or to other road users; 

EN 

12 

   EN 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
5.9. 

direction indicator lamp 

means the lamp used to indicate to other road users that the driver intends to change 
direction to the right or the left; 

5.10. 

stop lamp 

means the lamp used to indicate to other road users to the rear of the vehicle that the 
latter's driver is applying the service brake; 

5.11. 

front position lamp 

means the lamp used to indicate the presence of the vehicle when viewed from the 
front; 

5.12. 

rear position lamp 

means the lamp used to indicate the presence of the vehicle when viewed from the 
rear; 

5.13. 

front fog lamp 

means the lamp used to improve the illumination of the road in case of fog, snowfall, 
rainstorms or dust clouds; 

5.14. 

rear fog lamp 

means the lamp used to render the vehicle more readily visible from the rear in dense 
fog; 

5.15. 

reversing lamp 

means  the  lamp  used  to  illuminate  the  road  to  the  rear  of  the  vehicle  and  to  warn 
other road users that the vehicle is reversing or about to reverse; 

5.16. 

hazard warning signal 

means  the  simultaneous  operation  of  all  of  a  vehicle's  direction  indicator  lamps  to 
draw attention to the fact that the vehicle temporarily constitutes a special danger to 
other road users; 

5.17. 

rear registration plate lamp 

means  the  device  used  to  illuminate  the  space  intended  to  accommodate  the  rear 
registration plate; it may consist of several optical elements; 

5.18. 

retro- reflector 

means the device used to indicate the presence of a vehicle by the reflection of light 
emanating  from  a  light  source  not  connected  to  the  vehicle,  the  observer  being 
situated  near  that  source;  for  the  purposes  of  this  Annex  retro-reflecting  number 
plates are not considered to be retro- reflectors; 

EN 

13 

   EN 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
6. 

illuminating surface (see Appendix 1) 

6.1. 

light-emitting surface of a lighting device or retro- reflector 

means all or part of the exterior surface of the translucent material as declared in the 
request  for  approval  by  the  manufacturer  of  the  device  on  the  drawing  (see 
Appendix 1); 

6.2. 

illuminating surface of a lighting device (see points 5.7, 5.8, 5.13 and 5.15) 

means the orthogonal projection of the full aperture of the reflector or in the case of 
headlamps with an ellipsoidal reflector of the projection lens, on a transverse plane. 
If  the  lighting  device  has  no  reflector,  the  definition  of point 6.3  is  applied.  If  the 
light-emitting surface of the lamp extends over part only of the full aperture  of the 
reflector, then the projection of that part only is taken into account. In the case of a 
dipped-beam  headlamp,  the  illuminating  surface  is  limited  by  the  apparent  trace  of 
the  cut-off  on  to  the  lens.  If  the  reflector  and  lens  are  adjustable  relative  to  one 
another, the mean adjustment is used. 

6.3. 

illuminating  surface  of  a  light-signalling  device  other  than  a  retro-reflector 
(see points 5.9 to 5.12, 5.14, 5.16 and 5.17) 

means  the  orthogonal  projection  of  the  lamp  in  a  plane  perpendicular  to  its  axis  of 
reference  and  in  contact  with  the  exterior  light-emitting  surface  of  the  lamp,  this 
projection  being  bounded  by  the  edges  of  screens  situated  in  this  plane,  each 
allowing  only  98 %  of  the  total  luminous  intensity  of  the  light  to  persist  in  the 
direction of the axis of reference; to determine the lower, upper and lateral limits of 
the illuminating surface, only screens with horizontal or vertical edges are used; 

6.4. 

illuminating surface of a retro-reflector (see point 5.18)  

means  the  orthogonal  projection  of  a  retro  reflector  in  a  plane  perpendicular  to  its 
axis  of  reference  and  bounded  by  planes  touching  the  outer  edges  of  the  light 
projection  surface  of  the  retro  reflector  and  parallel  to  this  axis.  To  determine  the 
lower,  upper  and  lateral  limits  of  the  illuminating  surface,  only  horizontal  and 
vertical planes are used; 

7. 

apparent surface 

for a defined direction of observation means, at the request of the manufacturer or his 
duly accredited representative, the orthogonal projection of either: 

– 

the boundary of the illuminating surface projected on the exterior surface of the 
lens (a-b), or 

– 

the light-emitting surface (c-d), 

in  a  plane  perpendicular  to  the  direction  of  observation  and  tangential  to  the  most 
exterior point of the lens (see drawings at Appendix 1); 

EN 

14 

   EN 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
8. 

axis of reference 

means  the  characteristic  axis  of  the  lamp,  determined  by  the  manufacturer  (of  the 
lamp)  for  use  as  the  direction  of  reference  (H = 0°,  V = 0°)  for  angles  of  field  for 
photometric measurements and when fitting the lamp on the vehicle; 

9. 

centre of reference or reference centre 

means  the  intersection  of  the  axis  of  reference  with  the  light-emitting  surface,  the 
centre of reference being specified by the lamp manufacturer; 

10. 

angles of geometric visibility 

means the angles which determine the field of the minimum solid angle in which the 
apparent  surface  of  the  lamp  must  be  visible.  That  field  is  determined  by  the 
segments of the sphere of which the centre coincides with the centre of reference of 
the lamp and the equator is parallel with the ground. These segments are determined 
in relation to the axis of reference. The horizontal angles ⌦ β ⌫ correspond to the 
longitude and the vertical angles ⌦ α ⌫ to the latitude. There must be no obstacle 
on the inside of the angles of geometric visibility to the propagation of light from any 
part of the apparent surface of the lamp observed from infinity. 

If  measurements  are  taken  closer  to  the  lamp,  there  must  be  a  parallel  shift  in  the 
direction  of  observation  to  achieve  the  same  accuracy.  No  account  is  taken  of 
obstacles  on  the  inside  of  the  angles  of  geometric  visibility,  if  they  were  already 
present when the lamp was type-approved. 

If, when the lamp is installed, any part of the apparent surface of the lamp is hidden 
by any further parts of the vehicle, proof must be furnished that the part of the lamp 
not  hidden  by  obstacles  still  conforms  to  the  photometric  values  prescribed  for  the 
approval of the device as an optical unit (see Appendix 1); 

11. 

extreme outer edge 

on either side of the vehicle means the plane parallel to the median longitudinal plane 
of  the  vehicle  and  coinciding  with  its  lateral  outer  edge,  disregarding  the 
projection(s) of: 

11.1. 

the rear-view mirrors; 

11.2. 

the direction indicator lamps; 

12. 

overall width 

means the distance between the two vertical planes defined in point 11; 

13. 

distance between two lamps pointing in the same direction 

means  the  distance  between  the  orthogonal  projections,  in  a  plane  perpendicular  to 
the  axes  of  reference,  of  the  outlines  of  the  two  illuminating  surfaces  as  defined,

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS 

The  lighting  and  light-signalling  devices  must  be  so  installed  that  under  normal 
conditions of use and notwithstanding any vibration to which they may be subjected, 
they  retain  the  characteristics  laid  down  and  enable  the  vehicle  to  comply  with  the 
requirements  of  this  Directive.  In  particular,  it  must  not  be  possible  for  the 
adjustment of the lamps to be inadvertently disturbed. 

The  illuminating  lamps  must  be  so  fitted  that  their  alignment  can  easily  be  set 
correctly. 

For  all  light-signalling  devices  the  reference  axis  of  the  lamp  when  fitted  to  the 
vehicle must be perpendicular to the median longitudinal plane of the vehicle in the 
case  of  side  retro  reflectors  and  parallel  to  that  plane  in  the  case  of  all  other 
signalling devices. In each direction a tolerance of 3° is allowed. 

In addition, any specific instructions as regards fitting laid down by the manufacturer 
must be complied with. 

The  height  and  alignment  of  lamps  are  checked,  in  the  absence  of  specific 
instructions, with the vehicle unladen and located on a flat horizontal surface, with its 
median longitudinal plane being vertical and its handlebars or steering wheel in the 
dead-ahead position. The tyre pressure must be that specified by the manufacturer for 
the specific loading conditions laid down. 

5. 

In the absence of specific requirements, lamps constituting a pair must: 

5.1. 

be installed on the vehicle symmetrically in relation to the median longitudinal plane; 

5.2. 

be symmetrical to each other in relation to the median longitudinal plane; 

5.3. 

fulfil the same colorimetric requirements; 

5.4. 

have substantially identical photometric characteristics. 

6. 

In  the  absence  of  specific  instructions,  lamps  having  different  functions  may  be 
independent  or  be  grouped,  combined  or  reciprocally  incorporated  in  one  device, 
provided that each such lamp complies with the requirement applicable to it.

9.1. 

9.2. 

The  maximum  height  above  ground  is  measured  from  the  highest  point,  and  the 
minimum  height  from  the  lowest  point,  of  the  illuminating  surface.  The  minimum 
height  above  ground  of  dipped-beam  headlamps  must  be  measured  from  the  lower 
edge of the lens, or of the reflector if the latter is higher. 

In the absence of specific requirements no lamps other than direction indicator lamps 
and the hazard warning signal may emit a flashing light. 

No  red  lamp  must  be  visible  towards  the  front  and  no  white  lamp  other  than  any 
reversing  lamp  fitted  visible  towards  the  rear.  This  condition  is  checked  as  follows 
(see  drawings  according  to  the  types  of  two  or  three-wheel  vehicles  set  out  in 
Appendix 1 to Annexes II to VI): 

for the visibility of a red lamp towards the front: there must be no direct visibility of 
a  red  lamp  if  viewed  by  an  observer  moving  within  Zone  1  in  a  transverse  plane 
situated 25 m in front of the foremost part of the vehicle; 

for the visibility of a white lamp towards the rear: there must be no direct visibility of 
a white lamp if viewed by an observer moving within Zone 2 in a transverse plane 
situated 25 m behind the rearmost part of the vehicle; 

9.3. 

Zones  1  and  2,  as  seen  by  the  observer,  are  limited  in  their  respective  planes  as 
follows: 

9.3.1. 

as regards height, two horizontal planes which are 1 m and 2.2 m respectively above 
the ground; 

9.3.2. 

as regards width, by two vertical planes making an angle of 15° towards the front and 
rear  respectively,  and  outside  the  vehicle  by  reference  to  the  median  longitudinal 
plane  of  the  vehicle.  These  planes  contain,  respectively,  the  vertical  lines  of 
intersection  of  the  vertical  planes  parallel  to  the  longitudinal  median  plane  of  the 
vehicle and representing its overall width, and of the transverse planes representing 
the overall length of the vehicle. 

10. 

11. 

The  electrical  connections  must  be  such  that  the  front  position  lamp  or  the 
dipped-beam headlamp, if there is no front position lamp, the rear position lamp and 
the rear registration plate lamp can only be switched on and off simultaneously. 

In the absence of specific requirements, the electrical connections must be such that 
the  main-beam  headlamp,  the  dipped-beam  headlamp  and  the  fog  lamp  cannot  be 
switched on until the lamps referred to in point 10 have also been switched on. This 
requirement  does  not  apply,  however,  to  main-beam  or  dipped-beam  headlamps 
when their optical warnings consist of the intermittent lighting up at short intervals of 
the  main-beam  headlamp,  or  the  intermittent  lighting  up  at  short  intervals  of  the 
dipped-beam  headlamp,  or  the  alternate  lighting  up  at  short  intervals  of  the  main-
beam and dipped-beam headlamps.
