Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on two or three-wheel motor vehicles (Codified version)  /* COM/2007/0768 final - COD 2007/0270 */  

	[pic] | COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES |Brussels, 5.12.2007COM(2007) 768 final2007/0270 (COD)Proposal for aDIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCILon the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on two or three-wheel motor vehicles (Codified version)(presented by the Commission)EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM1. 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.2. On 1 April 1987 the Commission therefore decided[1] 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.3. The Conclusions of the Presidency of the Edinburgh European Council (December 1992) confirmed this[2], stressing the importance of codification as it offers certainty as to the law applicable to a given matter at a given time.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.4. The purpose of this proposal is to undertake a codification of Council Directive 93/92/EEC of 29 October 1993 on the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on two or three-wheel motor vehicles[3]. The new Directive will supersede the various acts incorporated in it[4]; 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.5. 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.ê 93/92/EEC (adapted)2007/0270 (COD)Proposal for aDIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCILon the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on two or three-wheel motor vehicles(Text with EEA relevance)THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article Ö 95 Õ thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee[5],Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty[6],Whereas:ê1.  Council Directive 93/92/EEC of 29 October 1993 on the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on two or three-wheel motor vehicles[7] has been substantially amended[8]. In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Directive should be codified.ê 2000/73/EC Recital 1 (adapted)2.  Ö Directive 93/92/EEC is one of the separate Directives of the EC type-approval system provided for in Directive 2002/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 March 2002 relating to the type-approval of two or three-wheel motor vehicles and repealing Council Directive 92/61/EEC[9] and lays down technical prescriptions concerning the design and construction of two or three-wheel motor vehicles as regards the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices. These technical prescriptions concerned the approximation of the laws of the Member States to allow for the EC type-approval procedure provided for by Directive 2002/24/EC to be applied in respect of each type of vehicle. Consequently the provisions laid down in Directive 2002/24/EC relating to two or three-wheel motor vehicle systems, components and separate technical units apply to this Directive. Õê 93/92/EEC Recitals 1 and 3 (adapted)3.  In each Member State the lighting and light-signalling devices fitted to two or three-wheel vehicles Ö should Õ display certain technical characteristics laid down by mandatory provisions. It is necessary to draw up harmonised requirements concerning the fitting of Ö those Õ devices in order to enable the EC type-approval procedure laid down in Directive Ö 2002/24/EC Õ to be applied for each such vehicle.ê 2000/73/EC Recital 3 (adapted)4.  It should be specified that lighting devices type-approved for vehicles in categories M1 and N1, in accordance with the relevant directives, may also be installed on two- or three-wheel motor vehicles. Provision should also be made to permit the optional installation of front fog lamps, rear fog lamps, reversing lamps and hazard warning devices on three-wheel mopeds and light quadricycles.ê 93/92/EEC Recital 4 (adapted)5.  In order to facilitate access to the markets of non-Community countries an equivalence Ö should exist Õ as far as two-wheel motorcycles are concerned, between the requirements of this Directive and those of Regulation No 53 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe.ê6.  This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directives set out in Annex VII, Part B,ê 93/92/EEC (adapted)HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:Article 1This Directive applies to the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on all types of vehicle as defined in Article Ö 2(1) Õ of Directive 2002/24/EC.Article 2ê 93/92/EECThe procedure governing the granting of EC component type-approval in respect of the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on a type of two or three-wheel motor vehicle and the conditions governing the free movement of such vehicles shall be as laid down in Directive 2002/24/EC.ê 93/92/EEC (adapted)è1 Corrigendum 93/92/EEC (OJ L 81, 11.4.1995, p. 7)Article 31. In accordance with Article 11 of Directive 2002/24/EC , equivalence between the requirements laid down in this Directive for two-wheel motorcycles and those laid down in UN/ECE è1 Regulation No 53 (E/ECE/TRANS/505/Add.52/Amend. 1) ç is hereby acknowledged.2. The authorities of the Member States which grant EC component type-approval shall accept approvals granted in accordance with the requirements of UN/ECE Regulation No 53 as well as component type-approval marks as an alternative to the corresponding approvals granted in accordance with the requirements of this Directive.Article 4Ö The Õ amendments necessary to adapt Ö the requirements of Õ Annexes I to VI to Ö this Directive to take account of Õ technical progress shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure Ö referred to Õ in Article [Ö 13(3) Õ of Council Directive 70/156/EEC[10]].Article 5Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the Ö main Õ provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.êArticle 6Directive 93/92/EEC, as amended by the Directive listed in Annex VII, Part A, is repealed, without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directives set out in Annex VII, Part B.References to the repealed Directive shall be construed as references to this Directive and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table set out in Annex VIII.Article 7This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union .It shall apply from [...].ê 93/92/EECArticle 8This Directive is addressed to the Member States.Done at Brussels, […]For the European Parliament For the CouncilThe President The President[…] […]ê 93/92/EEC (adapted)LIST OF ANNEXESANNEX I: | Definitions and general requirements |Appendix 1: | Lamp surfaces, axis and centre of reference, and angles of geometric visibility |Appendix 2: | Definition of lamp colours |ANNEX II: | Requirements concerning two-wheel mopeds |Appendix 1: | Visibility of red lights towards the front and white lights towards the rear |Appendix 2: | Arrangement drawing |Appendix 3: | Information document in respect of the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on a type of two-wheel moped |Appendix 4: | Certificate of EC component type-approval in respect of the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on a type of two-wheel moped |ANNEX III: | Requirements concerning three-wheel mopeds and light quadricycles |Appendix 1: | Visibility of red lights towards the front and white lights towards the rear |Appendix 2: | Arrangement drawing |Appendix 3: | Information document in respect of the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on a type of three-wheel moped |Appendix 4: | Certificate of EC component type-approval in respect of the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on a type of three-wheel moped |ANNEX IV: | Requirements concerning two-wheel motorcycles |Appendix 1: | Visibility of red lights towards the front and white lights towards the rear |Appendix 2: | Arrangement drawing |Appendix 3: | Information document in respect of the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on a type of two-wheel motor cycle |Appendix 4: | Certificate of EC component type-approval in respect of the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on a type of two-wheel motorcycle |ANNEX V: | Requirements concerning motorcycles with side-car |Appendix 1: | Visibility of red lights towards the front and white lights towards the rear |Appendix 2: | Arrangement drawing |Appendix 3: | Information document in respect of the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on a type of motorcycles with side-car |Appendix 4: | Certificate of EC component type-approval in respect of the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on a type of motorcycles with side-car |ANNEX VI: | Requirements concerning tricycles |Appendix 1: | Visibility of red lights towards the front and white lights towards the rear |Appendix 2: | Arrangement drawing |Appendix 3: | Information document in respect of the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on a type of tricycle |Appendix 4: | Certificate of EC component type-approval in respect of the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on a type of tricycle |Ö ANNEX VII: Õ | Ö Part A: Repealed Directive with its amendment Õ |Ö Part B: List of time-limits for transposition into national law and application Õ |Ö ANNEX VIII: Õ | Ö Correlation table Õ |ê 93/92/EEC (adapted)ANNEX IDEFINITIONS AND GENERAL REQUIREMENTSA. DEFINITIONSFor the purposes of this Directive the following definitions shall apply:1. vehicle typewith regard to the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices, means vehicles 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. vehicles which differ within the meaning of points 1.1 and 1.2, but not in such a way 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. transverse planemeans a vertical plane perpendicular to the median longitudinal plane of the vehicle;3. unladen vehiclemeans the vehicle without a driver, passenger or load, but with a full complement of fuel and its normal on-board tool kit;4. devicemeans a component or combination of components used in order to perform one or several functions;5. lampmeans a device designed to illuminate the road or to emit a light signal to other road users. Rear registration plate lamps and retro reflectors are likewise regarded as lamps;5.1. single lampmeans 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 lampsmeans 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 lampsmeans lamps having separate illuminating surfaces, light sources and lamp bodies;5.4. grouped lampsmeans lamps having separate illuminating surfaces and light sources, but a common lamp body;5.5. combined lampsmeans lamps having separate illuminating surfaces but a common light source and a common lamp body;5.6. reciprocally incorporated lampsmeans 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 headlampmeans the lamp used to illuminate the road over a long distance ahead of the vehicle;5.8. dipped-beam headlampmeans 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;5.9. direction indicator lampmeans 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 lampmeans 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 lampmeans the lamp used to indicate the presence of the vehicle when viewed from the front;5.12. rear position lampmeans the lamp used to indicate the presence of the vehicle when viewed from the rear;5.13. front fog lampmeans the lamp used to improve the illumination of the road in case of fog, snowfall, rainstorms or dust clouds;5.14. rear fog lampmeans the lamp used to render the vehicle more readily visible from the rear in dense fog;5.15. reversing lampmeans 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 signalmeans 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 lampmeans the device used to illuminate the space intended to accommodate the rear registration plate; it may consist of several optical elements;5.18. retro- reflectormeans 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;6. illuminating surface (see Appendix 1)6.1. light-emitting surface of a lighting device or retro- reflectormeans 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 surfacefor 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);8. axis of referencemeans 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 centremeans 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 visibilitymeans 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 Ö β Õ correspond to the longitude and the vertical angles Ö α Õ 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 edgeon 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 widthmeans the distance between the two vertical planes defined in point 11;13. distance between two lamps pointing in the same directionmeans 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, according to the case, in point 6;ê 93/92/EEC14. operational telltalemeans the telltale showing whether a device that has been actuated is operating correctly or not;15. circuit-closed telltalemeans a telltale showing that a device has been switched on but not showing whether it is operating correctly or not.B. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS1. 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.2. The illuminating lamps must be so fitted that their alignment can easily be set correctly.3. 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.4. 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.7. 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.8. In the absence of specific requirements no lamps other than direction indicator lamps and the hazard warning signal may emit a flashing light.9. 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):9.1. 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;9.2. 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. 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.11. 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.12. Telltales12.1. All telltales must be clearly visible to the driver in the normal driving position.12.2. Where provision has been made for a circuit-closed telltale it may be replaced by an operational telltale.13. Colours emitted by the lampsThe colours emitted by the lamps are as follows:Main-beam headlamps: | white, |Non-triangular front retro-reflector: | white, |Dipped-beam headlamp: | white, |Direction-indicator lamp: | amber, |Stop lamp: | red, |Front position lamp: | white, |Rear position lamp: | red, |Front fog lamp: | white/yellow, |Rear fog lamp: | red, |Reversing lamp: | white, |Hazard warning signal: | amber, |Rear registration plate lamp: | white, |Non-triangular side retro-reflector: | amber, |Non-triangular rear retro-reflector: | red, |Pedal retro-reflector: | amber. |The definition of lamp colours must be as laid down in Appendix 2.14. All lighting and light-signalling devices must be component type-approved. However, pending the entry into force of harmonized provisions concerning lighting and light-signalling devices on mopeds with engines of no more than 0,5 kW and a maximum speed not exceeding 25 km/h, such mopeds may be fitted with dipped-beam headlamps and/or rear position lamps which have not been approved. In such cases, the manufacturer must declare that the devices concerned conform to ISO standard 6742/1. Specific additional requirements will be laid down in accordance with the procedure outlined in Article [13 of Directive 70/156/EEC].Appendix 1Lamp surfaces, axis and centre of reference, and angles of geometric visibility[pic]NB : Notwithstanding the drawing the apparent surface is to be considered as tangent to the light-emitting surface.Appendix 2Definition of lamp coloursTRICHROMATIC COORDINATESRed | Limit towards yellow | y ≤ 0,335 |Limit towards purple | z ≤ 0,008 |White | Limit towards blue | x ≥ 0,310 |Limit towards yellow | x ≤ 0,500 |Limit towards green | y ≤ 0,150 + 0,640x |Limit towards green | y ≤ 0,440 |Limit towards purple | y ≥ 0,050 + 0,750x |Limit towards red | y ≥ 0,382 |Yellow | Limit towards red | y ≥ 0,138 + 0,580x |Limit towards green | y ≤ 1,29x − 0,100 |Limit towards white | y ≥ − x + 0,940 |y ≥ 0,440 |Limit towards the spectral value | y ≤ − x + 0,992 |Amber | Limit towards yellow | y ≤ 0,429 |Limit towards red | y ≥ 0,398 |Limit towards white | z ≤ 0,007 |A source having a colour temperature of 2 856 K is used to check the above limits (International Commission on Illumination (ICI) Standard A)._____________ANNEX IIREQUIREMENTS CONCERNING TWO-WHEEL MOPEDSê 93/92/EEC (adapted)1.
