                                          DIRECTIVE …/…/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

                                                                      of […]

               relating to the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on wheeled agricultural and forestry tractors

                                                                (Codified version)

                                                              EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1.    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 78/933/EEC of 17 October 1978 on the approximation of  the
       laws of the Member States relating to the installation of lighting and light-signalling  devices  on  wheeled  agricultural  and  forestry
       tractors[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 bring 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 78/933/EEC  and
       the instruments 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 IV to the codified Directive.

                                          DIRECTIVE …/…/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

                                                                      of […]

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:

                                            ê 

   1) Council Directive 78/933/EEC of 17 October 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the steering equipment of
      wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors[7] has been substantially amended several times[8]. In the interests of clarity  and  rationality
      the said Directive should be codified.

   2) Directive 78/933/EEC is one of the separate Directives of the EC type-approval system provided  for  in  Council  Directive  74/150/EEC  as
      replaced by Directive 2003/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on type-approval of agricultural or  forestry
      tractors, their trailers and interchangeable towed machinery, together with their systems, components  and  separate  technical  units  and
      repealing Directive 74/150/EEC[9] and lays down technical prescriptions concerning the design and construction of wheeled  agricultural  or
      forestry tractors as regards the steering equipment. These technical prescriptions concern the approximation of  the  laws  of  the  Member
      States to enable the EC type-approval procedure provided for in Directive 2003/37/EC to be applied in respect  of  each  type  of  tractor.
      Consequently, the provisions laid down in  Directive  2003/37/EC  relating  to  agricultural  or  forestry  tractors,  their  trailers  and
      interchangeable towed machinery, together with their systems, components and separate technical units apply to this Directive.

   3) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member  States  concerning  the  time-limits  for  transposition  into
      national law and application of the Directives set out in Annex III, Part B,

                                            ê 78/933/EEC

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

                                                                    Article 1

1. ‘Agricultural or forestry tractor’ means any motor vehicle, fitted with wheels or  endless  tracks,  having  at  least  two  axles,  the  main
function of which lies in its tractive power and which is specially designed to tow, push, carry or power certain tools,  machinery  or  trailers
intended for agricultural or forestry use. It may be equipped to carry a load and passengers.

No Member State may refuse to grant EC type-approval or national type-approval of a tractor on grounds relating to the installation  of  lighting
and light-signalling devices, whether mandatory or optional, listed in 1.5.7 to 1.5.21 of Annex I if these are installed in accordance  with  the
requirements set out in that Annex.

                                                                    Article 3

No Member State may refuse or prohibit the sale, Ö registration, Õ entry into  service  or  use  of  any  tractor  on  grounds  relating  to  the
installation of lighting and light-signalling devices, whether mandatory or optional, listed in 1.5.7 to 1.5.21 of Annex I if they are  installed
in accordance with the requirements set out in that Annex.

                                            ê 78/933/EEC

                                                                    Article 4

A Member State which has granted EC type-approval shall take the necessary measures to ensure that it is informed of any modification to  any  of
the parts or characteristics referred to in 1.1 of Annex I. The competent authorities of that Member State shall determine whether further  tests
should be carried out on the modified tractor type and a fresh report drawn up. Where such tests reveal failure to comply with  the  requirements
of this Directive, the modification shall not be approved.

                                              INSTALLATION OF LIGHTING AND LIGHT-SIGNALLING DEVICES

1.    DEFINITIONS

1.1.  Tractor type with regard to the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices

      ‘Tractor type with regard to the installation of lighting and light-signalling  devices’  means  tractors  which  do  not  differ  in  such
       essential respects as:

1.1.1.      the dimensions and exterior shape of the tractor;

1.1.2.      the number and positioning of the devices.

      The following are likewise considered not to be tractors of a different type: tractors which differ within the meaning of 1.1.1  and  1.1.2
       above, 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 tractor type in question, and tractors on which optional lamps are fitted or are absent.

1.2.  Transverse plane

      ‘Transverse plane’ means a vertical plane perpendicular to the median longitudinal plane of the tractor.

1.3   Unladen tractor

      ‘Unladen tractor’ means the tractor  in  running  order,  as  defined  in  2.4  of  Annex  I,  model  information  document,  to  Directive
       Ö 2003/37/EC Õ.

1.4.  Laden tractor

      ‘Laden tractor’ means the tractor loaded to its technically permissible maximum weight, as stated by the manufacturer, who shall  also  fix
       the distribution of this weight between the axles.

1.5.  Lamp

      ‘Lamp’ means a device designed to illuminate the road (headlamp) or to emit a  light  signal.  Rear  registration-plate  lamps  and  reflex
       reflectors shall likewise be regarded as lamps.

1.5.1.      Equivalent lamps

      ‘Equivalent lamps’ means lamps having the same function and authorised in the country in which the tractor is registered;  such  lamps  may
       have different characteristics from those installed on the tractor when it is approved, on condition that they satisfy the requirements of
       this Annex.

1.5.2.      Independent lamps

      ‘Independent lamps’ means lamps having separate lenses, separate light sources, and separate lamp bodies.

1.5.3.      Grouped lamps

      ‘Grouped lamps’ means devices having separate lenses and separate light sources, but a common lamp body.

1.5.4.      Combined lamps

      ‘Combined lamps’ means devices having separate lenses but a common light source and a common lamp body.

1.5.5.      Reciprocally incorporated lamps

      ‘Reciprocally incorporated lamps’ means devices having separate  light  sources  (or  a  single  light  source  operating  under  different
       conditions), totally or partially common lenses and a common lamp body.

1.5.6.      Concealable illuminating lamp

      ‘Concealable illuminating lamp’ means a headlamp capable of being partly or completely hidden when not in use. This result may be  achieved
       by means of a movable cover, by displacement of the headlamp or by  any  other  suitable  means.  The  term  «retractable»  is  used  more
       particularly to describe a concealable lamp the displacement of which enables it to be inserted within the bodywork.

1.5.6.1.    Variable-position lamps

      ‘Variable position lamps’ means lamps installed on the tractor which can move in relation to it and whose lenses cannot be concealed.

1.5.7.      Main-beam headlamp

      ‘Main-beam headlamp’ means the lamp used to illuminate the road over a long distance ahead of the tractor.

1.5.8.      Dipped-beam headlamp

      ‘Dipped-beam headlamp’ means the lamp used to illuminate the road ahead of the tractor  without  causing  undue  dazzle  or  discomfort  to
       oncoming drivers and other road-users.

1.5.9.      Front fog-lamp

      ‘Front fog-lamp’ means the lamp used to improve the illumination of the road in case of fog, snowfall, rainstorms or dust clouds.

1.5.10.     Reversing lamp

      ‘Reversing lamp’ means the lamp used to illuminate the road to the rear of the tractor and to warn other road-users  that  the  tractor  is
       reversing or about to reverse.

1.5.11.     Direction-indicator lamp

      ‘Direction-indicator lamp’ means the lamp used to indicate to other road-users that the driver intends to change direction to the right  or
       to the left.

1.5.12.     Hazard-warning signal

      ‘Hazard-warning signal’ means the device permitting the simultaneous operation of all of a tractor's  direction  indicator  lamps  to  draw
       attention to the fact that the tractor temporarily constitutes a special danger to other road-users.

1.5.13.     Stop lamp

      ‘Stop lamp’ means the lamp used to indicate to other road-users to the rear of the  tractor  that  the  latter's  driver  is  applying  the
       service brake.

1.5.14.     Rear registration-plate lamp

      ‘Rear registration-plate lamp’ means the device used to illuminate the space intended to accommodate the rear registration  plate;  it  may
       consist of different optical elements.

1.5.15.     Front position (side) lamp

      ‘Front position (side) lamp’ means the lamp used to indicate the presence and the width of the tractor when the latter is viewed  from  the
       front.

1.5.16.     Rear position (side) lamp

      ‘Rear position (side) lamp’ means the lamp used to indicate the presence and the width of the tractor when the latter is  viewed  from  the
       rear.

1.5.17.     Rear fog-lamp

      ‘Rear fog-lamp’ means the lamp used to render the tractor more readily visible from the rear in dense fog.

1.5.18.     Parking lamp

      ‘Parking lamp’ means the lamp used to draw attention to the presence of a stationary tractor, without a trailer, in  a  built-up  area.  In
       such circumstances it replaces the front and rear position (side) lamps.

1.5.19.     End-outline marker lamp

      ‘End-outline marker lamp’ means the lamps fitted to the extreme outer edge as close as possible to the top  of  the  tractor  and  intended
       clearly to indicate the tractor's overall width. This signal is intended, for certain tractors, to complement the tractor's front and rear
       position (side) lamps by drawing particular attention to its bulk.

1.5.20.     Reflex reflector

      ‘Reflex reflector’ means a device used to indicate the presence of a tractor by the reflection of light emanating from a light  source  not
       connected to the tractor, the observer being situated near the source.

      For the purposes of this Directive the following are not considered as reflex reflectors:

         – retro-reflecting number plates,

         – other plates and retro-reflecting signals which must be used to comply with a  Member  State's  specifications  for  use  as  regards
           certain categories of vehicles or certain methods of operation.

1.5.21.     Work lamp

      ‘Work lamp’ means a device for illuminating a working area or process.

1.6.  Illuminating surface of a lamp

1.6.1.      Illuminating surface of a lighting device

      ‘Illuminating surface of a lighting device’ (1.5.7 to 1.5.10) means the orthogonal projection of the full aperture of the  reflector  in  a
       transverse plane. If the lamp glass (or glasses) extend(s) 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 on the side of  the  cut-
       off by the apparent projection of the line of the cut-off on to the lens. If the reflector and glass are adjustable, the  mean  adjustment
       should be used.

1.6.2.      Illuminating surface of a signalling lamp other than a reflex reflector

      ‘Illuminating surface of a signalling lamp other than a reflex reflector’ (1.5.11 to 1.5.19) 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 shall be used.

1.6.3.      Illuminating surface of a reflex reflector

      ‘Illuminating surface of a reflex reflector’ (1.5.20) means the orthogonal projection of the reflecting surface of the reflex 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
       reflex reflector and parallel to this axis. To determine the lower, upper and lateral limits of the illuminating  surface,  only  vertical
       and horizontal planes shall be used.

1.6.4.      Exterior light-emitting surfaces

      ‘Exterior light-emitting surfaces’, for a defined direction of observation, means  the  orthogonal  projection  of  the  surface  of  light
       emission in a plane perpendicular to the direction of observation (see drawing in Appendix 1).

1.7.  Axis of reference

      ‘Axis of reference’ means the characteristic axis of the light signal determined by the manufacturer of the lamp for use as  the  direction
       of reference (H = 0°, V = 0°) for photometric measurements and when fitting the lamp on the tractor.

1.8.  Centre of reference

      ‘Centre of reference’ means the intersection of the  axis  of  reference  with  the  exterior  light-emitting  surface,  specified  by  the
       manufacturer of the lamp.

1.9.  Angles of geometric visibility

      ‘Angles of geometric visibility’ means the angles which determine the field of the  minimum  solid  angle  in  which  the  exterior  light-
       emitting surface of the lamp must be visible. That field of the solid angle is determined by the segments of a 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  exterior  light-emitting
       surface of the lamp.

      This shall not apply to any obstacles existing at the time when the lamp is approved if approval is required.

1.10. Extreme outer edge

      ‘Extreme outer edge’ on either side of the tractor means the plane  parallel  with  the  median  longitudinal  plane  of  the  tractor  and
       coinciding with its lateral outer edge, disregarding the projection:

1.10.1.     of tyres near their point of contact with the ground and connections for tyre-pressure gauges;

1.10.2.     of any anti-skid devices which may be mounted on the wheels;

1.10.3.     of rear-view mirrors;

1.10.4.     of side direction indicator lamps, end-outline marker lamps, front and rear position (side) lamps and parking lamps;

1.10.5.     of customs seals affixed to the tractor and devices for securing and protecting such seals.

1.11. Overall width

      ‘Overall width’ means the distance between the two vertical planes defined in 1.10 above.

1.12. A single lamp

      ‘A single lamp’ means any combination of two or more lamps, whether identical or not, having the same function and colour, if it  comprises
       devices, the projection of whose aggregate light-emitting surfaces in a given transverse plane occupies 60 % or more of the  area  of  the
       smallest rectangle circumscribing the projections of  the  light-emitting  surfaces  of  the  aforementioned  lamps,  provided  that  such
       combination is, where approval is required, approved as a single lamp.

      This possible combination does not apply to main-beam headlamps, dipped-beam headlamps and front fog lamps.

1.13. Two lamps or an even number of lamps

      ‘Two lamps’ or ‘an even number of lamps’ means a single light-emitting surface in the shape of a band, if placed symmetrically in  relation

3.    GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

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

3.1.1.      Tractors must be equipped with electrical connectors to enable a  detachable  light-signalling  system  to  be  used.  In  particular
       tractors must be fitted with the permanently connected socket outlet recommended in  standard  ISO  R  1724  (Electrical  connections  for
       vehicles with 6 or 12 volt electrical systems applying more specifically to private motor  cars  and  lightweight  trailers  or  caravans)
       (first edition, April 1970) or ISO R 1185 (Electrical connections between towing and towed vehicles having 24 volt electrical systems used
       for international commercial transport purposes) (first edition, March 1970). In the case of standard ISO R 1185, the function of  contact
       2 shall be restricted to the rear position (side) lamp and to the end-outline marker lamp on the left-hand side.

3.2.  The illuminating lamps described in 1.5.7, 1.5.8 and 1.5.9 must be so fitted that a correct  setting  of  their  alignment  can  easily  be
       performed.

3.3.  For all light-signalling devices, the reference axis of the lamp when fitted to the tractor must be parallel with the bearing plane of  the
       tractor on the road and with the longitudinal plane of the tractor. In each direction a tolerance of ± 3° shall be allowed.  In  addition,
       any specific instructions as regards fitting laid down by the manufacturer must be complied with.

3.4.  In the absence of specific instructions, the height and alignment of the lamps shall be checked with the unladen tractor placed on a  flat,

3.7.  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 requirements applicable to it.

3.8.  The maximum height above ground shall be measured from the highest point and the minimum height from the lowest point of  the  illuminating
       surface.

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

3.10. No red light shall be visible towards the front and no white light other than that from the reversing lamp or work lamps shall  be  visible
       towards the rear.

      This requirement is considered to have been met if:

3.10.1.     for the visibility of a red light towards the front: there is no direct visibility of a red light if viewed  by  an  observer  moving
       within zone 1 in a transverse plane situated 25 m in front of the tractor (see Appendix 2, Figure 1);

3.10.2.     for the visibility of a white light towards the rear: there is no direct visibility of a white light if viewed by an observer  moving
       within zone 2 in a transverse plane situated 25 m behind the tractor (see Appendix 2, Figure 2).

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

3.10.3.1.   as regards height, by two horizontal planes which are 1 m and 2·2 m respectively above the ground;

3.10.3.2.   as regards width, by two vertical planes which make an angle of 15° towards the front and rear respectively, and towards the  outside
       by reference to the median plane of the tractor, passing through the point (or points) of contact of vertical planes  which  are  parallel
       with the median longitudinal plane of the tractor, and limiting the overall width of the tractor when on wide track.

      If there are several points of contact, the one furthest towards the front shall be selected for zone 1 and the one  furthest  towards  the
       rear shall be selected for zone 2.

3.11. The electrical connections must be such that the front and rear position (side) lamps, the end-outline marker lamps if they exist, and  the

3.12. The electrical connections must be such that the main-beam and dipped-beam headlamps, and the front and rear fog lamps cannot  be  switched
       on unless the lamps referred to in 3.11 are also switched on. This requirement shall not  apply,  however,  to  main-beam  or  dipped-beam
       headlamps when their luminous warnings consist of the intermittent lighting up at short intervals of  the  dipped-beam  headlamps  or  the
       intermittent lighting up of the main-beam headlamps or the alternate lighting up at short  intervals  of  the  dipped-beam  and  main-beam
       headlamps.

3.13. The colours of the light emitted by the lamps or reflectors are as follows:

         – main-beam headlamp: white,

       of use without the aid of tools.

3.15.4.     It must be possible to move illuminating devices into the position of use and to switch  them  on  by  means  of  a  single  control,
       without excluding the possibility of moving them into the position of use without switching them on. However, in the case of grouped-main-
       beam and dipped-beam headlamps, the control referred to above is required only to activate the dipped-beam headlamps.

3.15.5.     It must not be possible deliberately, from the driver's seat, to stop the movement of switched-on headlamps  before  they  reach  the
       position of use. If there is a danger of dazzling other road users by the movement of headlamps, they may light up  only  when  they  have
       reached their final position.

3.15.6.     At temperatures of − 30 to + 50 °C an illuminating device must be capable of reaching the fully-open position  within  three  seconds

      with a parking lamp only, but solely in the case of direction-indicator lamps in category 5.

4.5.10.     Electrical connections

      Direction-indicator lamps shall switch on independently of the other lamps. All direction-indicator lamps on one side of  a  tractor  shall
       be switched on and off by means of one control and must flash in phase.

4.5.11.     Operational tell-tale

      Mandatory for all direction indicator lamps not directly visible to the driver. It may be optical or auditory or both.

      If it is optical, it shall be a flashing light which, in the event of the malfunction of any of the direction indicator  lamps  other  than
       the repeating side direction-indicator lamps, is either extinguished, or remains alight without flashing, or  shows  a  marked  change  of
       frequency. If it is entirely auditory, it shall be clearly audible and shall show a marked  change  of  frequency  in  the  event  of  any
       malfunction.

      If a tractor is equipped to draw a trailer, it must be equipped with a special optical operational tell-tale  for  the  direction-indicator
       lamps on the trailer unless the tell-tale of the drawing vehicle allows the failure of any one of the  direction-indicator  lamps  on  the
       tractor combination thus formed to be detected.

4.5.12.     Other requirements

      The light shall be a flashing light flashing 90 ± 30 times per minute.

      Operation of the light-signal control shall be followed within not more than one second by the appearance of the light and within not  more
       than one and one-half seconds by its first extinction.

      If a tractor is authorised to draw a trailer, the control of the direction-indicator lamps on the tractor shall also operate the  indicator
       lamps of the trailer.

      In the event of failure, other than a short-circuit, of one direction-indicator lamp, the others must continue to flash but  the  frequency
       under this condition may be different from that specified.
