INTRODUCTION

This Regulation combines the provisions of the individual UN Regulations Nos. 19, 98, 112, 113, 119 and 123 into a single regulation, and is the outcome of the WP.29 decision to simplify the UN lighting and light-signalling regulations based on the initial proposal by the European Union and Japan.
The objective of this Regulation is to increase the clarity, consolidate and streamline the complexity of requirements in UN Regulations Nos. 19, 98, 112, 113, 119 and 123 and prepare for the future transition to performance based requirements, by reducing the number of regulations through an editorial exercise without changing any of the detailed technical requirements already in force up to the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
Although this Regulation departs from the traditional approach of having a separate regulation for each device, by combining all road illumination devices into a single regulation, this simplified regulation contains all provisions and operates according to the existing structure of series of amendments, their transitional provisions and supplements. The transitional provisions associated with a new series of amendments of this Regulation will be identified for each device as applicable, this also includes a list of devices and their applicable change indexes relating to the series of amendments.
It is expected that all Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement will adopt this Regulation and shall provide detailed explanation in case they are not in a position to adopt particular devices. These decisions will be registered in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/343 that records the status of the annexed regulations and of the amendments.
Regarding the requirements for approval markings, this Regulation includes the requirements for the use of the "Unique Identifier" and is conditional upon access to the UN secure internet database (in accordance with Schedule 5 of the 1958 Agreement (1)) where all type approval documentation is held. When the “Unique Identifier” is used there is no requirement for the devices to carry the conventional type approval markings (E-mark). If it is technically not possible to use the "Unique Identifier" (e.g. if the access to the UN internet database cannot be secured or the UN secure internet database is not operative) the use of conventional type approval markings is required until the use of the "Unique Identifier" is enabled.
1.   SCOPE
This Regulation applies to the following road illumination devices:
Headlamps emitting a driving-beam and/or an asymmetrical passing-beam for vehicles of categories L, M, N and T
Adaptive front-lighting systems (AFS) for vehicles of categories M and N

4.6.


Testing of the lamp
Depending on the light source used, the following conditions shall apply.












4.6.1.


In the case of replaceable filament light sources:












4.6.1.1.


In the case of filament light sources operating directly under vehicle voltage system conditions:
The lamp shall be checked by means of colourless standard (étalon) filament light sources as specified in UN Regulation No. 37.
During the testing of the lamp, except for cornering lamps, the power supply to the filament light source(s) shall be regulated so as to obtain the reference luminous flux at 13,2 V as indicated on the relevant data sheet of UN Regulation No. 37.
During the testing of cornering lamps, the power supply to the filament light source(s) shall be regulated so as to obtain the reference luminous flux at 13,2 V or 13,5 V as indicated on the relevant data sheet of UN Regulation No. 37.
However, if a filament light source of category H9 or H9B is used for the principal passing-beam, the applicant may choose the reference luminous flux at 12,2 V or 13,2 V as indicated in the relevant data sheet of UN Regulation No. 37 and a reference stating which voltage was chosen for type approval shall be made in item 9 in the communication form of Annex 1.












4.6.1.2.


In order to protect the standard (étalon) filament light source during the process of photometric measurement it is permissible to carry out the measurements at a luminous flux that differs from the reference luminous flux at 13,2 V. If the Technical Service chooses to carry out measurements in such a manner, the luminous intensity shall be corrected by multiplying the measured value by the individual factor F lamp of the standard (étalon) filament light source in order to verify the compliance with the photometric requirements where:
F lamp = Φ reference / Φ test

Φ reference is the reference luminous flux at 13,2 V as specified in the relevant data sheet of UN Regulation No. 37
Φ test is the actual luminous flux used for the measurement.
However, where the reference luminous flux of 12,2 V as specified in the data sheet for the category H9 or H9B is chosen, this procedure is not permitted.












4.6.2.


In the case of a gas-discharge light source:
A standard light source shall be used as specified in UN Regulation No. 99, which has been aged during at least 15 cycles, in accordance with paragraph 4. of Annex 4 to UN Regulation No. 99.
During testing of the lamp the voltage at the terminals of the ballast or at the terminals of the light source in case the ballast is integrated with the light source shall be regulated to maintain 13,2 V for a 12 V system, or at the vehicle voltage as specified by the applicant, with a tolerance of ±0,1 V.
The objective luminous flux of the gas-discharge light source may differ from that specified in UN Regulation No. 99. In this case, the luminous intensity values shall be corrected accordingly.












4.6.3.


In the case of replaceable LED light sources:
The lamp shall be checked by means of a standard light source as specified in UN Regulation No. 128.
During testing of the lamp, the voltage supplied to the light source(s) shall be regulated to maintain 13,2 V or 13,5 V (optionally for cornering lamps only) for a 12 V system or 28 V for a 24 V system, or at the vehicle voltage as specified by the applicant, with a tolerance of ±0,1 V.
The luminous intensity values produced shall be corrected. The correction factor is the ratio between the objective luminous flux and the value of the luminous flux found at the voltage applied. In the case of more than one LED light source, the mean value of the correction factors shall be applied, while each individual correction factor shall not deviate more than 5 per cent from this mean value.












4.6.4.


In the case of LED modules:
All measurements on lamps equipped with LED module(s) shall be made at 6,3 V, 13,2 V or 28,0 V respectively, if not otherwise specified within this Regulation. LED modules operated by an electronic light source control gear shall be measured with the input voltage as specified by the applicant or with a supply and operating device which replace this control gear for the photometric test.












4.6.5.


In the case of non-replaceable light sources, only, if allowed according to the requirements of paragraph 4:
All measurements on lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources shall be made at 6,3 V or 6,75 V (optionally for cornering lamps only), 13,2 V or 13,5 V (optionally for cornering lamps only) or 28,0 V or at other vehicle voltage as specified by the applicant. The test laboratory may require from the applicant the special power supply needed to supply the light sources. The test voltages shall be applied to the input terminals of the lamp.












4.6.6.


In the case of a lamp that uses a light source control gear being part of the lamp, the voltage declared by the applicant shall be applied to the input terminals of that lamp.












4.6.7.


In the case of a lamp that uses a light source control gear not being part of the lamp the voltage declared by the applicant shall be applied to the input terminals of that light source control gear. The test laboratory shall require from the applicant the special light source control gear needed to supply the light source and the applicable functions. The identification of that light source control gear if applicable and/or the voltage applied, including the tolerances, shall be noted in the communication form in Annex 1.












4.6.8.


In the case of headlamps or AFS equipped with different kinds of light sources, the part of the lamp equipped:

The sharpness and linearity of the cut-off, if applicable, shall be tested according to the requirements in Annex 5 or 6 respectively.












4.9.


Except for cornering lamps, complementary tests shall be done according to the requirements in Annex 7 to ensure that in use there is no excessive change in photometric performance.












4.10.


Lamps with asymmetrical "cut-off" line designed to satisfy the requirements both of right hand and of left hand traffic may be adapted for traffic on a given side of the road either by an appropriate initial setting when fitted on the vehicle or by selective setting by the user. Such initial or selective setting may consist, for example, of fixing either the optical unit at a given angle on the vehicle or the light source(s) producing the principal passing-beam at a given angle/position in relation to the optical unit.
In all cases, only two different and clearly distinct settings, one for right hand and one for left-hand traffic, shall be possible, and the design shall preclude inadvertent shifting from one setting to the other or setting in an intermediate position.
Where two different setting positions are provided for the light source(s) producing the principal passing-beam, the components for attaching this light source(s) to the reflector must be so designed and made so that, in each of its two settings, this light source(s) will be held in position with the precision required for headlamps designed for traffic on only one side of the road.

For cornering lamps the colour of the light emitted inside the field of the light distribution grid defined in Annex 4, Figure A4-XII shall be white. Outside this field, no sharp variation of colours shall be observed.












4.16.1.


The colorimetric characteristics of the lamps incorporating LED modules shall be measured according to paragraph 4.3.2. of Annex 9.












4.17.


In the case of headlamps or AFS with adjustable reflector the requirements of paragraphs 5.1. to 5.4. are applicable for each mounting position indicated according to paragraph 3.1.3. For verification the following procedure shall be used:












4.17.1.


Each applied position is realized on the test goniometer with respect to a line joining the centre of the light source and point HV on a aiming screen. The adjustable reflector/system or part(s) thereof is then moved into such a position that the light pattern on the screen corresponds to the relevant aiming prescriptions;












4.17.2.


With the reflector/system or part(s) thereof initially fixed according to paragraph 4.17.1., the device or part(s) thereof must meet the relevant photometric requirements of paragraphs 5.1. to 5.4.;












4.17.3.


Additional tests shall be made after the reflector/system or part(s) thereof has been moved vertically ±2° or at least into the maximum position, if less than 2°, from its initial position by means of the headlamps/systems or part(s) thereof adjusting device. Having re-aimed the headlamp/system or part(s) thereof as a whole (by means of the goniometer for example) in the corresponding opposite direction the light output in the following directions shall be controlled and lie within the required limits:






passing-beam:


for headlamp points B 50 L and 75 R (B 50 R and 75 L, respectively);




 


for AFS points B 50 L and 75 R, or 50 R if applicable;




 


for class AS, BS, CS, DS, and ES, points HV and 0,86 D-V;




driving-beam:


IM and point HV (percentage of IM).
















4.17.4.


If the applicant has indicated more than one mounting position, the procedure of paragraphs 4.17.1. to 4.17.3. shall be repeated for all other positions;












4.17.5.


If the applicant has not asked for special mounting positions, the headlamp/system or part(s) thereof shall be aimed for measurements of paragraphs 5.1. to 5.4. with the relevant adjusting device(s) in its mean position. The additional test of paragraph 4.17.3. shall be made with the reflector/system or part(s) thereof moved into its extreme positions (instead of ±2°) by means of the relevant adjusting device(s).




5.   SPECIFIC TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS








5.1.


Technical requirements concerning driving-beam of the Class A, B, D (GDL), BS, CS, DS or ES (GDL) (symbols “R”, "HR", “DR”, "XR”, "R-BS”, “WR-CS”, “WR-DS” or “WR-ES”)












5.1.1.


In the case of a road illumination device designed to provide a driving-beam and a passing-beam, measurements of the luminous intensity of the driving-beam shall be taken with the same alignment as for measurements under paragraphs 5.2. to 5.4.
In the case of a road illumination device providing a driving-beam only, it shall be so adjusted that the area of maximum luminous intensity is centred on the point of intersection of lines H-H and V-V; such a device needs to meet only the requirements referred to in paragraph 5.1.3.
For devices where more than one light source is used to provide the driving-beam, these light sources shall be operated simultaneously to determine the maximum value of the luminous intensity (IM).
It is also possible that a part of the driving beam produced by one of these light sources will be used exclusively for short time signals "flash to pass" as declared by the applicant. This shall be indicated in the relevant drawing and a remark shall be made in the communication form.












5.1.2.


Irrespective of the type of light source used to produce the principal passing-beam, several light sources are allowed to be used for each individual driving-beam.












5.1.3.


Requirements for the luminous intensity distribution of the driving-beams:

Measurement conditions with respect to bending modes












5.3.4.1.


In the case of a system or part(s) thereof, which provide a bending mode, the requirements of paragraphs 5.3.2. (passing-beam), and /or 5.3.3. (driving-beam) apply for all states, corresponding to the turn radius of the vehicle. For verification with respect to the passing-beam and the driving-beam the following procedure shall be used:












5.3.4.1.1.


The system shall be tested in the neutral state (central/straight), and, in addition in the state(s) corresponding to the smallest turn radius of the vehicle in both directions using the signal generator, if applicable.












5.3.4.1.1.1.


Compliance with the requirements of paragraphs 5.3.2.5.2. and 5.3.2.5.4. shall be checked for both category 1 and category 2 bending modes without additional horizontal re-aim.












5.3.4.1.1.2.


Compliance with the requirements of paragraphs 5.3.2.5.1. and 5.3.3., whichever applies, shall be checked:






(a)


In case of a category 2 bending mode: without additional horizontal re-aim;










(b)


In case of a category 1 or a driving-beam bending mode: after having horizontally re-aimed the relevant installation unit (by means of the goniometer for example) in the corresponding opposite direction.
















5.3.4.1.2.


When testing a category 1 or category 2 bending mode, for a turn radius of the vehicle other than specified in paragraph 5.3.4.1.1. it shall be observed whether the light distribution is substantially uniform and no undue glare occurs. If this cannot be confirmed the compliance with the requirement laid down in Table 9 shall be checked.












5.3.5.


Other provisions












5.3.5.1.


It shall be stated by means of a form conforming to the model in Annex 1, which lighting unit(s) provide a "cut-off" as defined in Annex 5, that projects into a zone extending from 6 degrees left to 4 degrees right and upwards from a horizontal line positioned at 0,8 degrees down.












5.3.5.2.


It shall be stated by means of a form conforming to the model in Annex 1, which Class E passing-beam mode(s), if any, comply with a "data set" of Table 14.












5.3.6.


Photometric requirements for conformity of production












5.3.6.1.


General
The general requirements for the Production Conformity tests are defined in Annex 2 and Annex 3. Additionally the specific tests described in relation to the photometric requirements concerning adaptive front-lighting systems (AFS) shall apply as described below.
These requirements apply only for the entire system and apply to half of the sum of the respective measured values from all lighting units of the system applied for this function or mode, or, from all lighting units as indicated in the respective requirement.
As an alternative to the re-alignment procedure as described in paragraph 1.2.3. of Annex 2, the intensity requirement of column A, B or C of Tables 17 to 32 for a particular direction of observation shall be deemed to be satisfied if that requirement is met in a direction deviating by not more than one-quarter of a degree from the direction of observation.

Notes to Table 32






(*)


Angular positions are indicated for right-hand traffic.










(**)


The photometric requirements for each single measuring point (angular position) of this lighting function apply to half of the sum of the respective measured values from all lighting units of the system applied for this function.
Each of the lines defined in part A of Table 32, in conjunction with the test points as prescribed in part B of Table 32 shall be measured individually corresponding to the signal provided by the signal generator.
In the case where the passing beam, which meets the requirements of paragraph 5.3.6.2., is continuously operated in conjunction with the adaptation of the driving beam, the photometric requirements in Part B of Table 32 shall not be applied.




















5.4.


Technical requirements concerning headlamps to provide a passing-beam of the Class AS, BS, CS, DS and ES (symbols “C-AS”, “C-BS”, “WC-CS”, “WC-DS” and “WC-ES”












5.4.1.


Aiming procedure












5.4.1.1.


For a correct aiming the passing beam shall produce a sufficiently sharp "cut-off" to permit a satisfactory visual adjustment with its aid as indicated in paragraph 1 of Annex 6. The aiming shall be carried out using a flat vertical screen set up at a distance of 10 or 25 m forward of the headlamp and at right angles to the H-V. The screen shall be sufficiently wide to allow examination and adjustment of the "cut-off" of the passing beam over at least 3° on either side of the V-V line. The "cut-off" shall be substantially horizontal and shall be as straight as possible from at least 3° L to 3° R.












5.4.1.2.


The headlamp shall be aimed according to paragraph 3. of Annex 6.
If, however, vertical adjustment cannot be performed repeatedly to the required position within the allowed tolerances, the instrumental method of Annex 6, paragraphs 4 and 5 shall be applied to test compliance with the required minimum quality of the "cut-off" line and to perform the beam vertical adjustment.












5.4.2.


When so aimed, the headlamp must, if its approval is sought solely for provision of a passing beam, (10) comply with the requirements set out in paragraphs 5.4.4.; if it is intended to provide both a passing beam and a driving beam, it shall comply with the requirements set out in paragraphs 5.4.4. and 5.1.












5.4.3.


Where a headlamp so aimed does not meet the requirements set out in paragraphs 5.4.4. and 5.1., its alignment may be changed, except for headlamps that have no mechanism to adjust horizontal aim, on condition that the axis of the beam is not displaced laterally by more than 0,5 degree to the right or left and vertically by not more than 0,25 degree up or down. To facilitate alignment by means of the "cut-off", the headlamp may be partially occulted in order to sharpen the "cut-off". However, the "cut-off" should not extend beyond the line H-H.












5.4.4.


The passing beam shall meet the requirements as shown in the applicable table below and the applicable figure as shown in Annex 4.

Notes:

For Class ES headlamps the voltage applied to the terminals of the ballast(s) is either 13,2 V ± 0,1 V for 12 V systems or as otherwise specified (see Annex 12).






 



                        "D" means under the H-H line.










 



                        "U" means above the H-H line.










 



                        "R" means right of the V-V line.










 



                        "L" means left of the V-V line.

5.5.2.1.


The luminous intensity shall be measured either with white light or coloured light as prescribed by the applicant for use of the fog lamp in normal service. Variations in homogeneity detrimental to satisfactory visibility in the zone above the line 5 from 10 degrees left to 10 degrees right are not permitted.












5.5.2.2.


At the request of the applicant, two front fog lamps constituting a matched pair corresponding to paragraph 3.3.2.4.3. may be tested separately. In this case the specified requirements for lines 6, 7, 8, 9 and the Zone D in Table 36 apply to half the sum of readings of the right-hand and left-hand side front fog lamp. However each of the two front fog lamps shall meet at least 50 per cent of the minimum value required for line 6. Additionally, each of the two front fog lamps that constitute the matched pair are only required to meet the requirements of line 6 and line 7 from 5° inwards to 10° outwards.












5.5.2.3.


Inside the field between lines 1 to 5 in Figure A4-XI of Annex 4, the beam pattern should be substantially uniform. Discontinuities in intensities detrimental to satisfactory visibility between the lines 6, 7, 8 and 9 are not permitted.












5.5.2.4.


In the light-distribution as specified in Table 36, single narrow spots or stripes inside the area including the measuring points 1 to 10 and line 1 or inside the area of line 1 and line 2 with not more than 175 cd are allowed, if not extending beyond a conical angle of 2° aperture or a width of 1°. If multiple spots or stripes are present they shall be separated by a minimum angle of 10°.












5.5.2.5.


If the specified luminous intensity requirements are not met, a re-aim of the cut-off position within ±0,5° vertical and/or ±2° horizontal is allowed. In the re-aimed position all photometric requirements shall be met.












5.5.3.


Other photometric requirements












5.5.3.1.


In the case of front fog lamps equipped with gas-discharge light sources with the ballast not integrated with the light source, the luminous intensity shall exceed 1 080 cd in the measuring point at 0° horizontal and 2° D vertical four seconds after activation of the fog lamp which has not been operated for 30 minutes or more.












5.5.3.2.


To adapt to dense fog or similar conditions of reduced visibility, it is permitted to automatically vary the luminous intensities provided that:






(a)


An active electronic light source control gear is incorporated into the front fog lamp function system;










(b)


All intensities are varied proportionately.




The system, when checked for compliance according to the provisions of paragraph 4.6.6., is considered acceptable if the luminous intensities remain within 60 per cent and 100 per cent of the values specified in Table 36.












5.5.3.2.1.


An indication shall be inserted in the communication form (Annex 1, item 9).












5.5.3.2.2.


The Technical Service responsible for type approval tests shall verify that the system provides automatic modifications, such that good road illumination is achieved and no discomfort is caused to the driver or to other road users.

Technical requirements concerning cornering lamps (symbol K)












5.6.1.


Intensity of light emitted












5.6.1.1.


For the left-hand device, the minimum intensity of the light at the specified measuring points shall be as follows:






(a)


2,5D – 30L: 240 cd










(b)


2,5D – 45L: 400 cd










(c)


2,5D – 60L: 240 cd




The same values apply symmetrically for a right-hand device. (Shown in Annex 4 Figure A4-XII)












5.6.1.2.


The intensity of the light emitted in all directions shall not exceed:






(a)


300 cd above the 1,0U, L and R line;










(b)


600 cd between the horizontal plane and the 1,0U, L and R Line; and










(c)


14 000 cd below the 0,57 D, L and R line.
















5.6.1.3.


In the case of a single lamp containing more than one light source when all light sources are illuminated the maximum intensities shall not be exceeded.












5.6.1.4.


Failure of a single lamp containing more than one light source:












5.6.1.4.1.


In a single lamp containing more than one light source, a group of light sources, wired so that the failure of any one of them causes all of them to stop emitting light, shall be considered to be one light source.












5.6.1.4.2.


In case of failure of any one light source in a single lamp containing more than one light source, at least one of the following provisions shall apply:






(a)


The light intensity complies with the minimum intensity required in the table of standard light distribution in space as shown in Annex 4, Figure L; or










(b)


A signal for activation of a tell-tale indicating failure, as indicated in paragraph 6.20.8. of UN Regulation No. 48, is produced, provided that the luminous intensity at 2,5°D 45°L for a left-side lamp (the L angle should be substituted for the R angle for a right-side lamp) is at least 50 per cent of the minimum intensity required. In this case a note in the communication form states that the lamp is only for use on a vehicle fitted with a tell-tale indicating failure.
















5.6.2.


Measurement methods












5.6.2.1.


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












5.6.2.2.


In the event that the results of measurements are challenged, measurements shall be taken in such a way as to meet the following requirements:












5.6.2.2.1.


The distance of measurement shall be such that the law of the inverse of the square of the distance is applicable;












5.6.2.2.2.


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°;












5.6.2.2.3.


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.












5.6.2.3.


Measuring points expressed in degrees of angle with the axis of reference are shown in Annex 4, Figure A4-XII.
The values shown in the table give, for the various directions of measurement, the minimum intensities in cd.












5.6.2.4.


Horizontal and vertical angles for the field of geometric visibility are shown in Annex 4, Figures A4-XIII. 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.












5.6.3.


Photometric measurement of lamps equipped with several light sources. The photometric performance shall be checked:












5.6.3.1.


In case of non-replaceable light sources, with the light sources present in the lamp, in accordance with paragraph 4.6.












5.6.3.2.


In case of replaceable light sources, in addition to paragraph 4.6.
The luminous intensity values produced shall be corrected.






(a)


For filament light sources the correction factor is the ratio between the reference luminous flux and the mean value of the luminous flux found at the voltage applied (13,2 V or 13,5 V);










(b)


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 light sources only, a standard filament light source 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.












5.6.3.3.


For any cornering lamp except those equipped with filament light source(s), the luminous intensities, measured after one minute and after 10 minutes of operation, shall comply with the minimum and maximum requirements. The luminous intensity distributions after one and after 10 minutes of operation shall be calculated from the luminous intensity distribution measured after photometric stability has occurred by applying at each test point the ratio of luminous intensities measured at 45°L 2,5°D for a left-side lamp (the L angle should be substituted for the R angle for a right-side lamp):






(a)


After one minute;










(b)


After 10 minutes; and










(c)


After photometric stability has occurred.




Photometric stability has occurred means the variation of the luminous intensity for the specified test point is less than 3 per cent within any 15 minute period.

ANNEX 2
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. This condition also applies to colour.












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 (étalon) light source and/or non-replaceable light source(s) and/or LED module(s), as present in the lamp;












1.2.1.


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












1.2.1.1.


For class A, B and D headlamps corresponding to paragraph 5.2. of this Regulation for the values B 50 L (or R) and zone III, the maximum unfavourable deviation may be respectively:






B 50 L (or R):


170 cd equivalent 20 per cent




 


255 cd equivalent 30 per cent




Zone III:


255 cd equivalent 20 per cent




 


380 cd equivalent 30 per cent
















1.2.1.2.


For AFS corresponding to paragraph 5.3. of this Regulation no value measured and corrected according to the prescriptions of paragraph 4.6. to this Regulation, deviates unfavourably from the value prescribed in column B of the Tables 17 to 32, if applicable.












1.2.1.3.


For class BS, CS, DS and ES headlamps corresponding to paragraph 5.4. of this Regulation for values in zone I, the maximum unfavourable deviation may be respectively:






Zone I:


255 cd equivalent 20 per cent




 


380 cd equivalent 30 per cent
















1.2.1.3.1.


If the results of the test described above do not meet the requirements, the alignment of the headlamp may be changed, provided that the axis of the beam is not displaced laterally by more than 0,5 degree, to the right or left and not by more than 0,2 degree up and down.












1.2.1.4.


For front fog lamps corresponding to paragraph 5.5. of this Regulation Table 37 shall apply;












1.2.2.


or, in case of class A, B or D headlamps corresponding to paragraph 5.2. of this Regulation, if












1.2.2.1.


For the passing-beam, the values prescribed in this Regulation are met at one point within a circle of 0,35 degrees around points:






 


in case of class A or B headlamps B 50 L (or R) (with a tolerance of 85 cd), 75 R (or L), 50 V, 25 R, 25 L, and in the entire area of zone IV which is not more than 0,52 degrees above line 25 R and 25 L;

ANNEX 5
Aiming procedure, instrumental verification of the "cut-off" for asymmetric passing-beams
1.   VISUAL AIMING PROCEDURE








1.1.


The luminous intensity distribution of a principal passing-beam headlamp or of at least one lighting unit for a class C passing beam of an AFS in its neutral state shall incorporate a "cut-off" (see Figure A5-I), which enables the headlamp to be adjusted correctly for the photometric measurements and for the aiming on the vehicle.
The "cut-off" shall provide:






(a)


For right hand traffic beams:






(i)


A straight "horizontal part" towards the left;










(ii)


A raised "elbow - shoulder" part towards the right.














(b)


For left hand traffic beams:






(i)


A straight "horizontal part" towards the right;










(ii)


A raised "elbow - shoulder" part towards the left.








In each case the "elbow-shoulder" part shall have a sharp edge.












1.2.


The headlamp or AFS shall be visually aimed by means of the "cut-off" (see Figure A5-I) as follows. The aiming shall be carried out using a flat vertical screen set up at a distance of 10 m or 25 m (as indicated in item 9 of Annex 1) forward of the headlamp or AFS and at right angles to the H-V axis as shown in Annex 4. The screen shall be sufficiently wide to allow examination and adjustment of the "cut-off" of the passing-beam over at least 5° on either side of the V-V line.












1.2.1.


For vertical adjustment: the horizontal part of the "cut-off" is moved upward from below line B and adjusted to its nominal position one per cent (0,57 degrees) below the H-H line;








Figure A5-I Visual aiming of the cut-off











Note:



The scales are different for vertical and horizontal lines.












1.2.2.


For horizontal adjustment: the "elbow – shoulder" part of the "cut-off" shall be moved:
For right hand traffic from right to left and shall be horizontally positioned after its movement so that:






(a)


Above the line 0,2° D its "shoulder" shall not exceed the line A to the left;










(b)


The line 0,2° D or below its "shoulder" should cross the line A; and










(c)


The kink of the "elbow" is basically located within +/-0,5 degrees to the left or right of the V-V line;




or
For left hand traffic from left to right and shall be horizontally positioned after its movement so that:






(a)


Above the line 0,2° D its "shoulder" shall not exceed the line A to the right;










(b)


On the line 0,2° or below its "shoulder" cross the line A; and










(c)


The kink of the "elbow" should be primarily on the V-V line;
















1.2.3.


Where a headlamp or AFS so aimed does not meet the requirements set out in paragraphs this Regulation 5.2. to 5.4. of this Regulation respectively, its alignment may be changed, provided that the axis of the beam is not displaced:
Horizontally from line A by more than:






(a)


0,5° to the left or 0,75° to the right, for right hand traffic; or










(b)


0,5° to the right or 0,75° to the left, for left hand traffic; and




Vertically not more than 0,25° up or down from line B.












1.2.4.


If, however, vertical adjustment cannot be performed repeatedly to the required position within the tolerances described in paragraph 1.2.3., the instrumental method of paragraph 2. shall be applied to test compliance with the required minimum quality of the "cut-off" and to perform the vertical and horizontal adjustment of the beam.












1.2.5.


When so aimed, a headlamp, if its approval is sought solely for provision of a passing-beam9, need comply only with the requirements set out in paragraphs 5.2. to 5.4. of this Regulation; if it is intended to provide both a passing-beam and a driving-beam, it shall comply with the requirements set out in paragraphs 5.1. to 5.4. of this Regulation.




2.   INSTRUMENTAL VERIFICATION OF THE "CUT-OFF" LINE FOR ASYMMETRIC PASSING-BEAMS








2.1.


General
In the case where paragraph 1.2.4. applies, the quality of the "cut-off" line shall be tested according to the requirements set out in paragraph 2.2. and the instrumental vertical and horizontal adjustment of the beam shall be performed according to the requirements set out in paragraph 2.3.
Before carrying out the measurement of the quality of "cut-off", and the instrumental aiming procedure, a visual pre-aim in accordance with paragraphs 1.2.1. and 1.2.2. is required.












2.2.


Measurement of the quality of the "cut-off"
To determine the minimum sharpness, measurements shall be performed by vertically scanning through the horizontal part of the "cut-off" in angular steps of 0,05° at either a measurement distance of:






(a)


10 m with a detector having a diameter of approximately 10 mm; or










(b)


25 m with a detector having a diameter of approximately 30 mm.




The measuring distance at which the test was carried out shall be recorded in item 9. of the communication form (see Annex 1 to this Regulation).
To determine the maximum sharpness, measurements shall be performed by vertically scanning through the horizontal part of the "cut-off" in angular steps of 0,05° exclusively at a measurement distance of 25 m and with a detector having a diameter of approximately 30 mm.
The "cut-off" quality shall be considered acceptable if at least one set of measurements complies with the requirements of paragraphs 2.2.1. to 2.2.3.












2.2.1.


Not more than one "cut-off" shall be visible (1)













2.2.2.


Sharpness of "cut-off"
The sharpness factor G is determined by scanning vertically through the horizontal part of the "cut-off" at 2,5° from the V-V where:
G = (log Eβ - log E(β + 0,1°)) where β = the vertical position in degrees and E = the illumination on the aiming screen.
The value of G shall not be less than 0,13 (minimum sharpness) and not greater than 0,40 (maximum sharpness).












2.2.3.


Linearity
The part of the horizontal "cut-off" that serves for vertical adjustment shall be horizontal between 1,5° and 3,5° from the V-V line (see Figure A5-II).
The inflection points of the "cut-off" gradient at the vertical lines at 1,5°, 2,5° and 3,5° shall be determined by the equation:
The maximum vertical distance between the inflection points determined shall not exceed 0,2°.




(d2 (log E) / dβ2 = 0).








2.3.


Vertical and horizontal adjustment
If the "cut-off" complies with the quality requirements of paragraph 2.2. the beam adjustment may be performed instrumentally.








Figure A5-II Measurement of cut-off quality











Note:


The scales are different for vertical and horizontal lines.












2.3.1.


Vertical adjustment
Moving upward from below the line B (see Figure A5-III), a vertical scan is carried out through the horizontal part of the "cut-off" at 2,5° from V-V. The inflection point (where d2 (log E) / dβ2 = 0) is determined and positioned on the line B situated one per cent below H-H.












2.3.2.


Horizontal adjustment
The applicant shall specify one of the following horizontal aim methods:






(a)


The "0,2 D line" method (see Figure A5-III).




A single horizontal line at 0,2° D shall be scanned from 5° left to 5° right after the lamp has been aimed vertically. The maximum gradient "G" determined using the formula G = (log Eβ - log E(β + 0,1°)) where β is the horizontal position in degrees, shall not be less than 0,08.
The inflection point found on the 0,2 D line shall be positioned on the line A.








Figure A5-III Instrumental vertical and horizontal adjustment - horizontal line scan method











Note:


The scales are different for vertical and horizontal lines.










(b)


The "3 line" method (see Figure A5-IV)




Three vertical lines shall be scanned from 2° D to 2° U at 1°R, 2°R, and 3°R after the lamp has been aimed vertically. The respective maximum gradients "G" determined using the formula:
G = (log Eβ – log E(β + 0,1°))
where β is the vertical position in degrees, shall not be less than 0,08. The inflection points found on the three lines shall be used to derive a straight line. The intersection of this line and the line B found while performing vertical aim shall be placed on the V line.

1.1.


The luminous intensity distribution of the symmetrical passing-beam headlamps and front fog lamp shall incorporate a "cut-off" line which enables the lamp to be adjusted correctly for the photometric measurements and for the aiming on the vehicle. The characteristics of the "cut-off" line shall comply with the requirements set out in paragraphs 2. to 4.:




2.   SHAPE OF THE "CUT-OFF" LINE








2.1.


For visual adjustment of the lamp the "cut-off" line shall provide:












2.1.1.


A horizontal line for vertical adjustment of the symmetrical passing-beam headlamp extending to either side of the V-V line (see Figure A6-I) as specified in paragraph 5.4.1.1. of this Regulation.












2.1.2.


A horizontal line for vertical adjustment of the front fog lamp extending to 4° either side of the V-V line (see Figure A6-II).

Figure A6-II Shape and position of the cut-off line of the front fog lamp




3.   ADJUSTMENT OF THE SYMMETRICAL PASSING-BEAM HEADLAMP AND FRONT FOG LAMP.








3.1.


Horizontal adjustment: the cut-off line shall be so positioned that the projected beam pattern appears approximately symmetrical to the V-V line. When the front fog lamp is designed for use in pairs or has otherwise an asymmetric beam pattern, it shall be horizontally aligned according to the specification of the applicant, or otherwise in such a way that the cut-off line appears symmetrical to the V-V line.












3.2.


Vertical adjustment: after horizontal adjustment of the lamp according to paragraph 3.1., the vertical adjustment shall be performed in such a way that the beam with its "cut-off" line is moved upwards from the lower position until the "cut-off" line is situated at nominal vertical position. For nominal vertical adjustment the "cut-off" line is positioned on the V-V line






(a)


At 0,57 degree (1 per cent) below the h-h line for symmetrical headlamps of the Classes AS, BS, CS, DS and ES;










(b)


At 1 degree below the h-h line for front fog lamps.




If the horizontal part is not straight but slightly curved or inclined, the "cut-off" line shall not exceed the vertical range formed by two horizontal lines which are situated from 3° left to 3° right of the V-V line at:






(a)


0,2° for Class BS headlamps and front fog lamps;










(b)


0,3° for Classes AS, CS, DS and ES headlamps;




above and below the nominal position of the "cut-off" (see Figures A6-I and A6-II respectively).












3.3.


If the vertical positions of three attempts to adjust the cut-off differ by more than:






(a)


0,2°for Class BS headlamps and front fog lamps;










(b)


0,3° for Classes AS, CS, DS and ES headlamps;




the horizontal part of the "cut-off" line is assumed not to provide sufficient linearity or sharpness for performing visual adjustment. In this case the quality of "cut-off" shall be tested instrumentally for compliance with requirements as follows.




4.   MEASUREMENT OF THE QUALITY OF "CUT-OFF"








4.1.


Measurements shall be performed by vertically scanning through the horizontal part of the "cut-off" line in angular steps not exceeding 0,05°:






(a)


At either a measurement distance of 10 m and a detector with a diameter of approximately 10 mm;










(b)


Or at a measurement distance of 25 m and a detector with a diameter of approximately 30 mm.




The "cut-off" quality shall be considered acceptable if at least one measurement at 10 m or 25 m complies with the requirements of paragraphs 4.1.1. to 4.1.3.
The measuring distance at which the test was determined shall be noted down in the communication form according to Annex 1, paragraph 9.2.6.
The scanning is performed from its lower position upwards through the "cut-off" line along the vertical lines at:






(a)


- 3° to -1,5° and +1,5° to +3° from the V-V line for headlamps










(b)


- 2,5° and + 2,5° from the V-V line for front fog lamps.




When so measured, the quality of the "cut-off" line shall meet the following requirements:












4.1.1.


Not more than one "cut-off" line shall be visible (1).












4.1.2.


Sharpness of "cut-off": if scanned vertically through the horizontal part of the "cut-off" line along the ±2.5 -lines, the maximum value measured for:
G = (log Eβ - log E(β+ 0,1°) )
is called the sharpness factor G of the "cut-off" line. The value of G shall not be less than:






(a)


0,13 for Class BS headlamps;










(b)


0,08 for Classes AS, CS, DS, ES headlamps and front fog lamps.
















4.1.3.


Linearity: the part of the "cut-off" line which serves for vertical adjustment shall be horizontal from 3°L to 3°R of the V-V line. This requirement is deemed to be met if the vertical positions of the inflection points according to paragraph 3.2. above at 3° left and right of the V-V line do not differ by more than:






(a)


0,2° for Class BS headlamps and front fog lamps;










(b)


0,3° for Classes AS, CS, DS and ES headlamps;




from the nominal position at the V-V line.




5.   INSTRUMENTAL VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT
If the "cut-off" line complies with the above quality requirements, the vertical beam adjustment can be performed instrumentally. For this purpose the inflection point where d2 (log E) / dv2 = 0 is positioned on the V-V line in its nominal position below the h-h-line. The movement for measuring and adjusting the "cut-off" line shall be upwards from below the nominal position.


(1)  This paragraph should be amended when an objective test method is available.

Method of measurement of the diffusion and transmission of light

1.   EQUIPMENT (see figure A8-I)
The beam of a collimator K with a half divergence β/2 = 17,4 x 104 rd 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°.
An annular diaphragm DD, with angles αo/2 = 1° and αmax /2 = 12° 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
                         (1) of the lens L2 shall be so chosen that the image of Dτ completely covers the receiver R.
When the initial incident flux is referred to 1 000 units, the absolute precision of each reading shall be better than 1 unit.





2.   MEASUREMENTS
The following readings shall be taken:

Measurement of the force necessary to unstick an adhesive tape from a glass plate at an angle of 90°.
3.   SPECIFIED ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS
The ambient conditions shall be at 23 °C ± 5 °C and 65 ± 15 per cent RH.
4.   TEST PIECES
Before the test, the sample roll of adhesive tape shall be conditioned for 24 hours in the specified atmosphere (see para. 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°. 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 Newtons per centimetre of width of the tape.




(*1)  This test concerns front fog lamps equipped with gas-discharge light sources, headlamps and AFS.

4.3.1.


Luminous intensity












4.3.1.1.


A photometric measurement of the device shall be made after 1 minute of operation for the specific function at the test point specified below. For these measurements, the aim can be approximate but must be maintained for before and after ratio measurements.
Test points to be measured:






Passing-beam:


25R in case of headlamps of classes A, B and D




 


50V in case of headlamps of classes AS, BS, CS, DS, ES




 


25RR in case of AFS




Driving-beam:


H – V




Front fog lamps:


horizontal 0° vertical 2,5°D
















4.3.1.2.


The lamp shall continue operation until photometric stability has occurred. The moment at which the photometry is stable is defined as the point in time at which the variation of the photometric value is less than 3 per cent within any 15 minutes period. After stability has occurred, aim for complete photometry shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of the specific device. Photometer the lamp at all test points required for the specific device.












4.3.1.3.


Calculate the ratio between the photometric test point value determined in paragraph 4.3.1.1. and the point value determined in paragraph 4.3.1.2.












4.3.1.4.


Once stability of photometry has been achieved, apply the ratio calculated above to each of the remainder of the test points to create a new photometric table that describes the complete photometry based on one minute of operation.












4.3.1.5.


The luminous intensity values, measured after one minute and after photometric stability has occurred, shall comply with the minimum and maximum requirements.












4.3.2.


Colour
The colour of the light emitted measured after one minute and measured after photometric stability has been obtained, as described in paragraph 4.3.1.2., shall both be within the required colour boundaries.




5.   THE MEASUREMENT OF THE OBJECTIVE LUMINOUS FLUX OF LED MODULE(S) PRODUCING THE PRINCIPAL PASSING-BEAM SHALL BE CARRIED OUT AS FOLLOWS:








5.1.


The LED module(s) shall be in the configuration as described in the technical specification as defined in paragraph 3.1.3. of this Regulation. Optical elements (secondary optics) shall be removed by the Technical Service at the request of the applicant by the use of tools. This procedure and the conditions during the measurements as described below shall be described in the test report.












5.2.


One module of each type shall be submitted by the applicant with the light source control gear, if applicable, and sufficient instructions.
Suitable thermal management (e.g. heat sink) may be provided, to simulate similar thermal conditions as in the corresponding headlamp or AFS application.
Before the test each LED module shall be aged at least for seventy-two hours under the same conditions as in the corresponding headlamp application.
In the case of use of an integrating sphere, the sphere shall have a minimum diameter of one meter, and at least ten times the maximum dimension of the LED module, whichever is the largest. The flux measurements can also be performed by integration using a goniophotometer. The prescriptions in CIE - Publication 84 - 1989, regarding the room temperature, positioning, etc., shall be taken into consideration.
The LED module shall be burned in for approximately one hour in the closed sphere or goniophotometer.
The flux shall be measured after stability has occurred, as explained in paragraph 4.3.1.2.
