ANNEX 3

PHOTOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS

1.   MEASUREMENT METHODS








1.1.


When photometric measurements are taken, stray reflections shall be avoided by appropriate masking.












1.2.


In the event that the results of measurements are challenged, measurements shall be taken 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 angle subtended by the receiver from the reference centre of the light is between 10′ and 1°;










1.2.3.


The intensity requirement for a particular direction of observation shall be satisfied if the required intensity is obtained in a direction deviating by not more than one quarter of a degree from the direction of observation.








2.   MEASURING POINTS EXPRESSED IN DEGREES OF ANGLE WITH THE AXIS OF REFERENCE

Figure 2












2.1.1.


The directions H = 0° and V = 0° correspond to the axis of reference. On the vehicle they are horizontal, parallel to the median longitudinal plane of the vehicle and oriented in the required direction of visibility. They pass through the centre of reference. The values shown in the table give, for the various directions of measurement, the minimum intensities in cd.




3.   PHOTOMETRIC MEASUREMENT OF LAMPS EQUIPPED WITH SEVERAL LIGHT SOURCES
The photometric performance shall be checked:






3.1.


For non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps and other):
With the light sources present in the lamp, in accordance with paragraph 7.1.1 of this Regulation.










3.2.


For replaceable light sources:
When equipped with light sources at 6,75 V, 13,5 V or 28,0 V, the luminous intensity values produced shall be corrected. For filament lamps the correction factor is the ratio between the reference luminous flux and the mean value of the luminous flux found at the voltage applied (6,75 V, 13,5 V or 28,0 V).
For LED light sources the correction factor is the ratio between the objective luminous flux and the mean value of the luminous flux found at the voltage applied (6,75 V, 13,5 V or 28,0 V).
The actual luminous fluxes of each light source used shall not deviate more than ±5 per cent from the mean value. Alternatively and in case of filament lamps only, a standard filament lamp may be used in turn, in each of the individual positions, operated at its reference flux, the individual measurements in each position being added together.










3.3.


For any cornering lamp except those equipped with filament lamp(s), the luminous intensities, measured after one minute and after 30 minutes of operation, shall comply with the minimum and maximum requirements. The luminous intensity distribution after one minute of operation can be calculated from the luminous intensity distribution after 30 minutes of operation by applying at each test point the ratio of luminous intensities measured at 45° L 2,5° D after one minute and after 30 minutes of operation for a left-side lamp (the L angle should be substituted for the R angle for a right-side lamp).









ANNEX 4

COLOUR OF WHITE LIGHT

(Chromaticity coordinates)








1.


For checking the colorimetric characteristics, a source of light at a colour temperature of 2 856 K, corresponding to illuminant A of the international commission (CIE), shall be used. For lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps and other), or light sources (replaceable or non-replaceable) operated together with an electronic light source control gear, the colorimetric characteristics should be verified with the light sources present in the lamp, in accordance with paragraph 7 of this Regulation.












2.


The replaceable light source shall be subjected to the intensity, which produces the same colour as the illuminant A of the CIE.









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 geometric standpoint, if the differences do not exceed inevitable manufacturing deviations within the requirements of this Regulation.












1.2.


With respect to photometric performances, the conformity of mass-produced lamps shall not be contested if, when testing photometric performances of any lamp chosen at random and equipped with a standard light source, or when the lamps are equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps or other), and when all measurements are made at 6,75 V, 13,5 V or 28,0 V respectively:






1.2.1.


No measured value deviates unfavourably by more than 20 per cent from the values prescribed in this Regulation.










1.2.2.


If, in the case of a lamp equipped with a replaceable light source and if results of the test described above do not meet the requirements, tests on lamps shall be repeated using another standard light source.
















1.3.


The chromaticity coordinates shall be complied with when the lamp is equipped with a standard light source, or for lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps or other), when the colorimetric characteristics are verified with the light source present in the lamp.




2.   MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR VERIFICATION OF CONFORMITY BY THE MANUFACTURER
For each type of lamp 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 provisions 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 and colorimetric characteristics.
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 measurements made by a competent authority.












2.2.4.


In all cases the reference methods shall be those of this Regulation, particularly for the purpose of administrative verification and sampling.




2.3.   Nature of sampling
Samples of lamps shall be selected at random from the production of a uniform batch. A uniform batch means a set of lamps 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 lamp shall be subjected to photometric measurements for the minimum values at the points listed in Annex 4 and the required chromaticity coordinates.
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 the acceptability of his products in order to meet the specifications laid down for verification of conformity of products in paragraph 9.1 of this Regulation.
The criteria governing the 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 6 (first sampling) would be 0,95.





ANNEX 6

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR SAMPLING BY AN INSPECTOR

1.1.


The conformity requirements shall be considered satisfied from a mechanical and a geometric standpoint, in accordance with the requirements of this Regulation, if any, if the differences do not exceed inevitable manufacturing deviations.












1.2.


With respect to photometric performance, the conformity of mass-produced lamps shall not be contested if, when testing photometric performances of any lamp chosen at random and equipped with a standard light source, or when the lamps are equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps or other), and when all measurements are made at 6,75 V, 13,5 V or 28,0 V respectively:






1.2.1.


No measured value deviates unfavourably by more than 20 per cent from the values prescribed in this Regulation.










1.2.2.


If, in the case of a lamp equipped with a replaceable light source and if results of the test described above do not meet the requirements, tests on lamps shall be repeated using another standard light source.










1.2.3.


Lamps with apparent defects are disregarded.
















1.3.


The chromaticity coordinates shall be complied with when the lamp is equipped with a standard light source, or for lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps or other), when the colorimetric characteristics are verified with the light source present in the lamp.

30 per cent




2.3.3.   Or, if the conditions of paragraph 1.2.2 for samples A and B are not fulfilled.
3.   REPEATED SAMPLING
In the cases of A3, B2, B3 a repeated sampling, third sample C of two lamps and fourth sample D of two lamps, selected from stock manufactured after alignment, is necessary within two months' time after the notification.
3.1.   The conformity is not contested
3.1.1.   Following the sampling procedure shown in Figure 1 of this Annex the conformity of mass-produced lamps shall not be contested if the deviations of the measured values of the lamps are:
3.1.1.1.   Sample C







C1:


One lamp


0 per cent




One lamp not more than


20 per cent




C2:


Both lamps more than


0 per cent
