               6.2.   Provisions concerning the passing-beam
         The system shall, prior to the subsequent test procedures, be set to the neutral state, emitting the Class C passing-beam.
         6.2.1.   For each side of the system (vehicle) the passing-beam in its neutral state shall produce from at least one lighting unit a ‘cut-off’ as defined in Annex 8 to this Regulation or,
         6.2.1.1.   The system shall provide other means, e.g. optical features or temporary auxiliary beams, allowing for unambiguous and correct aiming.
         6.2.1.2.   Annex 8 does not apply to the traffic-change function as described in paragraph 5.8 through 5.8.2.1 above.
         6.2.2.   The system or part(s) thereof shall be aimed according to the requirements of Annex 8 so that the position of the cut–off complies with the requirements indicated in the Table 2 of Annex 3 to this Regulation.
         6.2.3.   When so aimed, the system or part(s) thereof, if its approval is sought solely for provision of the passing-beam, needs to comply with the requirements set out in the relevant paragraphs below; if it is intended to provide additional lighting or light signalling functions according to the scope of this Regulation, it shall comply in addition with the requirements set out in the relevant paragraphs below, if not being adjustable independently.
         6.2.4.   When emitting a specified mode of the passing beam, the system shall meet the requirements in the respective section (C, V, E, W) of part A of Table 1 (photometric values) and in Table 2 (Imax and ‘cut-off’ positions) of Annex 3 to this Regulation, as well as section 1 (‘cut-off’ requirements) of Annex 8 to this Regulation.
         6.2.5.   A bending mode may be emitted, provided that:
         
                     6.2.5.1.
                  
                  
                     The system meets the respective requirements of part B of Table 1 (photometric values) and item 2.2 of Table 2 (‘cut-off’ provisions) of Annex 3 to this Regulation, when measured according to the procedure indicated in Annex 9, relevant to the category (either category 1 or category 2) of the bending mode, for which approval is sought;
                  
               
                     6.2.5.2.
                  
                  
                     When the T-signal corresponds to the vehicle's smallest turn radius to the left (or right), the sum of the luminous intensity values provided by all contributors of the right or the left side of the system shall be at least 2 500 cd at one or more points in the zone extending from H-H to 2 degrees below H-H and from 10 to 45 degrees left (or right).
                  
               
                     6.2.5.3.
                  
                  
                     If approval is sought for a category 1 bending mode, the use of the system is restricted to vehicles where provisions are taken such that the horizontal position of the ‘kink’ of the ‘cut-off’ which is provided by the system, complies with the relevant provisions of paragraph 6.22.7.4.5(i) of Regulation No 48;
                  
               
                     6.2.5.4.
                  
                  
                     If approval is sought for a category 1 bending mode, the system is designed so that, in the case of a failure affecting the lateral movement or modification of the illumination, it must be possible to obtain automatically either photometric conditions corresponding to paragraph 6.2.4 above or a state with respect to the photometric conditions which yields values not exceeding 1 300 cd in the zone IIIb, as defined in Annex 3 to this Regulation, and at least 3 400 cd in a point of ‘segment Imax’;
                     6.2.5.4.1.   However, this is not needed if, for positions relative to the system reference axis up to 5 degrees left, at 0,3 degree up from H-H, and greater than 5 degrees left, at 0,57 degree up, a value of 880 cd is in no case exceeded.
                  
               6.2.6.   The system shall be checked on the basis of the relevant instructions of the manufacturer, indicated in the safety concept according to paragraph 2.2.2.1 above.
         6.2.7.   A system or part(s) thereof, designed to meet the requirements of both right-hand and left-hand traffic must, in each of the two setting positions according to 5.4 above meet the requirements specified for the corresponding direction of traffic.
         6.2.8.   The system shall be so made that:
         
                     6.2.8.1.
                  
                  
                     Any specified passing-beam mode provides at least 2 500 cd at point 50 V from each side of the system;
                     The mode(s) of the Class V passing-beam are exempted from this requirement;
                  
               
                     6.2.8.2.
                  
                  
                     Other modes:
                     When signal inputs according to paragraph 6.1.4.3 of this Regulation apply, the requirements of the paragraph 6.2 above shall be fulfilled.
                  
               6.3.   Provisions concerning the driving-beam

            This test consists of verifying that the vertical drift of the cut-off line under the influence of heat does not exceed a specified value for a system or part(s) of emitting a Class C (basic) passing-beam, or each specified passing-beam mode.
            If the test sample consists of more than one lighting unit or more than one assembly of lighting units which provide a cut-off, each of these is understood to be a test sample for the purpose of this test and must be tested separately.
            The test sample tested in accordance with paragraph 1 above shall be subjected to the test described in paragraph 2.1 below, without being removed from or readjusted in relation to its test fixture.
            If the test sample has a moving optical part, only the position closest to the average vertical angular stroke and/or the initial position according to the neutral state is chosen for this test.
            The test is confined to signal input conditions corresponding to a straight road, only.
            2.1.   Test
            For the purpose of this test, the voltage shall be adjusted as specified in paragraph 1.1.1.2 above.
            The test sample shall be operated and tested on Class C passing-beam, Class V passing-beam, Class E passing-beam and Class W passing-beam, whatever applies.
            The position of the cut-off line in its horizontal part between VV and the vertical line passing through point B50L (or R) shall be verified 3 minutes (r3) and 60 minutes (r60) respectively after operation.
            The measurement of the variation in the cut-off line position as described above shall be carried out by any method giving acceptable accuracy and reproducible results.
            2.2.   Test results
            2.2.1.   The result expressed in milliradians (mrad) shall be considered as acceptable for a passing beam headlamp when the absolute value Δ r1 = | r3 – r60 | recorded on the headlamp is not more than 1,0 mrad (Δ r1 ≤ 1,0 mrad) upward and not more than 2,0 mrad (Δ r1 ≤ 2,0 mrad) downwards.
            2.2.2.   However, if this value is:
            
                        Movement
                     
                     
                         
                     
                  
                        Upward
                     
                     
                        more than 1,0 mrad but not more than 1,5 mrad
                        (1,0 mrad < ΔrI ≤ 1,5 mrad)
                     
                  
                        Downward
                     
                     
                        more than 2,0 mrad but not more than 3,0 mrad
                        (2,0 mrad < ΔrI ≤ 3,0 mrad)
                     
                  A further sample of a headlamp mounted on a test fixture representative of the correct installation on the vehicle shall be tested as described in paragraph 2.1 after being subjected three consecutive times to the cycle as described below, in order to stabilize the position of mechanical parts of the headlamp:
            
                        (a)
                     
                     
                        Operation of the passing beam for one hour (the voltage shall be adjusted as specified in paragraph 1.1.1.2);
                     
                  
                        (b)
                     
                     
                        One hour period with the lamp switched off.
                     
                  After these three cycles, the headlamp type shall be considered as acceptable if the absolute values Δr measured according to paragraph 2.1 above on this further sample meet the requirements in paragraph 2.2.1 above.
            
               (1)  When the ‘test sample’ is grouped and/or reciprocally incorporated with signalling lamps, the latter shall be lit for the duration of the test, except for a daytime running lamp. In the case of a direction indicator lamp, it shall be lit in flashing operation mode with an on/off time ratio of approximately one to one.
            
               (2)  Should additional light sources be simultaneously lit when headlamp flashing is used, this shall not be considered as being normal use of the light sources simultaneously.
            
               (3)  All light sources of lighting functions even if no approval is sought according to this Regulation must be taken into account, except those covered by footnote 2.
            
               (4)  The Class W passing-beam, if any, is disregarded for lighting units providing or contributing to any other passing-beam class or lighting function.
            
               (5)  NaCMC represents the sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose, customarily referred to as CMC. The NaCMC used in the dirt mixture shall have a degree of substitution (DS) of 0,6-0,7 and a viscosity of 200-300 cP for a 2 per cent solution at 20 °C.
            
               (6)  The tolerance on quantity is due to the necessity of obtaining dirt that correctly spreads out on all types of plastic lens

                  1.3.   With respect to the verification of the change in vertical position of the ‘cut-off’ line for passing-beam under the influence of heat, the following procedure shall be applied:
            
                         
                     
                     
                        One of the sampled systems shall be tested according to the procedure described in paragraph 2.1 of Annex 4 after being subjected three consecutive times to the cycle described in paragraph 2.2.2 of Annex 4.
                     
                  
                         
                     
                     
                        The system shall be considered as acceptable if Δr does not exceed 1,5 mrad.
                     
                  
                         
                     
                     
                        If this value exceeds 1,5 mrad but is not more than 2,0 mrad, a second sample shall be subjected to the test after which the mean of the absolute values recorded on both samples shall not exceed 1,5 mrad.
                     
                  1.4.   The chromaticity coordinates shall be conformed to.
            2.   MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR VERIFICATION OF CONFORMITY BY THE MANUFACTURER
            For each type of system the holder of the approval mark shall carry out at least the following tests, at appropriate intervals. The tests shall be carried out in accordance with the provision of this Regulation.
            If any sampling shows non-conformity with regard to the type of test concerned, further samples shall be taken and tested. The manufacturer shall take steps to ensure the conformity of the production concerned.
            2.1.   Nature of tests
            Tests of conformity in this Regulation shall cover the photometric characteristics and the verification of the change in vertical position of the cut-off line for passing-beam under the influence of heat.
            2.2.   Methods used in tests
            2.2.1.   Tests shall generally be carried out in accordance with the methods set out in this Regulation.
            2.2.2.   In any test of conformity carried out by the manufacturer, equivalent methods may be used with the consent of the competent authority responsible for approval tests. The manufacturer is responsible for proving that the applied methods are equivalent to those laid down in this Regulation.
            2.2.3.   The application of paragraphs 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 above requires regular calibration of test apparatus and its correlation with measurement made by a competent authority.
            2.2.4.   In all cases the reference methods shall be those of this Regulation, particular for the purpose of administrative verification and sampling.
            2.3.   Nature of sampling
            Samples of systems shall be selected at random from the production of a uniform batch. A uniform batch means a set of systems of the same type, defined according to the production methods of the manufacturer.
            The assessment shall, in general, cover series production from individual factories. However, a manufacturer may group together records concerning the same type from several factories provided these operate under the same quality system and quality management.
            2.4.   Measured and recorded photometric characteristics
            The sampled headlamps shall be subjected to photometric measurements at the points provided for in the Regulation, the reading being limited:
            
                         
                     
                     
                        To points Imax, HV (1), ‘HL’ and ‘HR’ (2) in the case of a driving beam;
                     
                  
                         
                     
                     
                        To points B50L, 50L, 50V, 75R if applicable, and 25LL in the case of the passing beam(s) (see Figure 1 in Annex 3).
                     
                  2.5.   Criteria governing acceptability
            The manufacturer is responsible for carrying out a statistical study of the test results and for defining, in agreement with the Type Approval Authority, criteria governing acceptability of his products in order to meet the specification laid down for verification of conformity of products in paragraph 9.1 of this Regulation.
            The criteria governing acceptability shall be such that, with a confidence level of 95 per cent, the minimum probability of passing a spot check in accordance with Annex 7 (first sampling) would be 0,95.
            
               (1)  When the driving beam is reciprocally incorporated with the passing beam, HV in the case of the driving beam shall be the same measuring point as in the case of the passing beam.
            
               (2)  ‘HL’ and ‘HR’: points on ‘H-H’ located at 2,6 degrees to the left and to the right of point HV respectively.

            2.1.2.1.   Method
            Photometric measurements shall be carried out on the samples before and after the test.
            These measurements shall be made according to Annex 9 to this Regulation, at the following points:
            
                         
                     
                     
                        B50L and 50V for the class C passing beam lighting;
                     
                  
                         
                     
                     
                        Imax for the driving beam of a system.
                     
                  2.1.2.2.   Results
            The variation between the photometric values measured on each sample before and after the test shall not exceed 10 per cent including the tolerances of the photometric procedure.
            2.2.   Resistance to atmospheric and chemical agents
            2.2.1.   Resistance to atmospheric agents
            Three new samples (lenses or samples of material) shall be exposed to radiation from a source having a spectral energy distribution similar to that of a black body at a temperature between 5 500 K and 6 000 K. Appropriate filters shall be placed between the source and the samples so as to reduce as far as possible radiation with wave lengths smaller than 295 nm and greater than 2 500 nm. The samples shall be exposed to an energetic illumination of 1 200 W/m2 ± 200 W/m2 for a period such that the luminous energy that they receive is equal to 4 500 MJ/m2 ± 200 MJ/m2. Within the enclosure, the temperature measured on the black panel placed on a level with the samples shall be 50 °C ± 5 °C. In order to ensure a regular exposure, the samples shall revolve around the source of radiation at a speed between 1 and 5 min– 1.
            The samples shall be sprayed with distilled water of conductivity lower than 1 mS/m at a temperature of 23 °C ± 5 °C, in accordance with the following cycle:
            Spraying: 5 minutes; drying: 25 minutes.
            2.2.2.   Resistance to chemical agents
            After the test described in paragraph 2.2.1 above and the measurement described in paragraph 2.2.3.1 below have been carried out, the outer face of the said three samples shall be treated as described in paragraph 2.2.2.2 with the mixture defined in paragraph 2.2.2.1 below.
            2.2.2.1.   Test mixture
            The test mixture shall be composed of 61,5 per cent n-heptane, 12,5 per cent toluene, 7,5 per cent ethyl tetrachloride, 12,5 per cent trichloroethylene and 6 per cent xylene (volume per cent).
            2.2.2.2.   Application of the test mixture
            Soak a piece of cotton cloth (as per ISO 105) until saturation with the mixture defined in paragraph 2.2.2.1 above and, within 10 seconds, apply it for 10 minutes to the outer face of the sample at a pressure of 50 N/cm2, corresponding to an effort of 100 N applied on a test surface of 14 × 14 mm.
            During this 10-minute period, the cloth pad shall be soaked again with the mixture so that the composition of the liquid applied is continuously identical with that of the test mixture prescribed.
            During the period of application, it is permissible to compensate the pressure applied to the sample in order to prevent it from causing cracks.
            2.2.2.3.   Cleaning
            At the end of the application of the test mixture, the samples shall be dried in the open air and then washed with the solution described in paragraph 2.3 (Resistance to detergents and hydrocarbons) at 23 °C ± 5 °C. Afterwards the samples shall be carefully rinsed with distilled water containing not more than 0,2 per cent impurities at 23 °C ± 5 °C and then wiped off with a soft cloth.
            2.2.3.   Results
            2.2.3.1.   After the test of resistance to atmospheric agents, the outer face of the samples shall be free from cracks, scratches, chipping and deformation, and the mean variation in transmission Δt = (T2 – T3)/T2 measured on the three samples according to the procedure described in Appendix 2 to this annex shall not exceed 0,020 (Δtm < 0,020).
            2.2.3.2.   After the test of resistance to chemical agents, the samples shall not bear any traces of chemical staining likely to cause a variation of flux diffusion, whose mean variation Δd = (T5 – T4)/T2 measured on the three samples according to the procedure described in Appendix 2 to this annex shall not exceed 0,020 (Δdm < 0,020).
            2.2.4.   Resistance to light source radiation
            If necessary the following test shall be done:
            
                         
                     
                     
                        Flat samples of each light transmitting plastic component of the system are exposed to the light of the light source. The parameters such as angles and distances of those samples shall be the same as in the system. These samples shall have the same colour and surface treatment, if any, as the parts of the system.
                     
                  
                         
                     
                     
                        After 1 500 hours of continuous exposure, the colorimetric specification of the transmitted light must be met with a new light source, and the surface of the samples shall be free of cracks, scratches, scaling or deformation.
                     
                  
                         
                     
                     
                        The UV-resistance testing of internal materials to light source radiation is not necessary if light sources according to Regulation No 37 and/or low-UV-type gas discharge light sources and/or low-UV-type LED modules are being applied or if provisions are taken, to shield the relevant system components from UV radiation, e.g. by glass filters.

            At the end of the test, the samples shall be dried at 50 °C ± 5 °C. The surface of the samples shall be cleaned with a moist cloth.
            2.3.2.   Resistance to hydrocarbons
            The outer face of these three samples shall then be lightly rubbed for one minute with a cotton cloth soaked in a mixture composed of 70 per cent n-heptane and 30 per cent toluene (volume per cent), and shall then be dried in the open air.
            2.3.3.   Results
            After the above two tests have been performed successively, the mean value of the variation in transmission Δt = T2 – T3)/T2 measured on the three samples according to the procedure described in Appendix 2 to this annex shall not exceed 0,010 (Δtm ≤ 0,010).
            2.4.   Resistance to mechanical deterioration
            2.4.1.   Mechanical deterioration method
            The outer face of the three new samples (lenses) shall be subjected to the uniform mechanical deterioration test by the method described in Appendix 3 to this annex.

                  METHOD OF MEASUREMENT OF THE DIFFUSION AND TRANSMISSION OF LIGHT
               
               1.   EQUIPMENT (see Figure 1 below)
               The beam of a collimator K with a half divergence β/2 = 17,4 × 10 – 4 rad 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 degrees.
               An annular diaphragm DD, with angles αo/2 = 1 deg and αmax/2 = 12 degrees 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 of the lens L2 shall be so chosen that the image of Dτ completely covers the receiver R.
               For L2 it is recommended to use a focal distance of about 80 mm.
               When the initial incident flux is referred to 1 the absolute precision of each reading shall be better than 0,001.

                  SPRAY TESTING METHOD
               
               1.   TEST EQUIPMENT
               1.1.   Spray gun
               The spray gun used shall be equipped with a nozzle 1,3 mm in diameter allowing a liquid flow rate of 0,24 ± 0,02 l/minute at an operating pressure of 6,0 bars – 0/+ 0,5 bar.
               Under these operation conditions the fan pattern obtained shall be 170 mm ± 50 mm in diameter on the surface exposed to deterioration, at a distance of 380 mm ± 10 mm from the nozzle.
               1.2.   Test mixture
               The test mixture shall be composed of:
               
                            
                        
                        
                           Silica sand of hardness 7 on the Mohs scale, with a grain size between 0 and 0,2 mm and an almost normal distribution, with an angular factor of 1,8 to 2;
                        
                     
                            
                        
                        
                           Water of hardness not exceeding 205 g/m3 for a mixture comprising 25 g of sand per litre of water.
                        
                     2.   TEST
               The outer surface of the lamp lenses shall be subjected once or more than once to the action of the sand jet produced as described above. The jet shall be sprayed almost perpendicular to the surface to be tested.
               The deterioration shall be checked by means of one or more samples of glass placed as a reference near the lenses to be tested. The mixture shall be sprayed until the variation in the diffusion of light on the sample or samples measured by the method described in Appendix 2, is such that: Δd = (T5 – T4)/T2 = 0,0250 ± 0,0025.
               Several reference samples may be used to check that the whole surface to be tested has deteriorated homogeneously.

                  ADHESIVE TAPE ADHERENCE TEST
               
               1.   PURPOSE
               This method allows to determine under standard conditions the linear force of adhesion of an adhesive tape to a glass plate.
               2.   PRINCIPLE
               Measurement of the force necessary to unstick an adhesive tape from a glass plate at an angle of 90 degrees.
               3.   SPECIFIED ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS
               The ambient conditions shall be at 23 °C ± 5 °C and 65 ± 15 per cent relative humidity.
               4.   TEST PIECES
               Before the test, the sample roll of adhesive tape shall be conditioned for 24 hours in the specified atmosphere (see paragraph 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 performed under the ambient conditions specified in paragraph 3 above.
               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 degrees. 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 Newton per centimetre of width of the tape.

            With respect to the verification of the change in vertical position of the cut-off line for passing-beam under the influence of heat, the following procedure shall be applied:
            
                         
                     
                     
                        One of the systems of sample A after sampling procedure in Figure 1 of this annex shall be tested according to the procedure described in paragraph 2.1 of Annex 4 after being subjected three consecutive times to the cycle described in paragraph 2.2.2 of Annex 4.
                     
                  
                         
                     
                     
                        The system shall be considered as acceptable if Δr does not exceed 1,5 m rad upwards and does not exceed 2,5 mrad downwards.
                     
                  
                         
                     
                     
                        If this value exceeds 1,5 mrad but is not more than 2,0 mrad upwards or exceeds 2,5 mrad but is not more than 3,0 mrad downwards, the second system of sample A shall be subjected to the test after which the mean of the absolute values recorded on both samples shall not exceed 1,5 m rad upwards and shall not exceed 2,5 mrad downwards.
                     
                  
                         
                     
                     
                        However, if this value of 1,5 mrad upwards and 2,5 mrad downwards on sample A is not complied with, the two systems of sample B shall be subjected to the same procedure and the value of Δr for each of them shall not exceed 1,5 mrad upwards and shall not exceed 2,5 mrad downwards.

            1.   CUT-OFF DEFINITION
            The ‘cut-off’, when projected on the aiming screen shall be sufficiently sharp to permit aiming; it shall comply with the following requirements.
            1.1.   Shape (see Figure 1)
            The ‘cut-off’ shall provide:
            
                        (a)
                     
                     
                        A straight ‘horizontal part’ towards the left;
                     
                  
                        (b)
                     
                     
                        A raised ‘elbow – shoulder’ part towards the right.
                     
                  In each case the ‘elbow – shoulder’ part shall have a sharp edge.
            2.   VISUAL AIMING PROCEDURE
            2.1.   The system shall, prior to the subsequent test procedures, be set to the neutral state. The instructions below apply to the beams of those lighting units, which are specified by the applicant to be aimed.
            2.2.   The beam shall be visually aimed by means of the ‘cut-off’ (see Figure 1 below). 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 section 9 of Annex 1) forward of the headlamp and at right angles to the H-V axis. 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.
            2.3.   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 (25 cm) below the H-H line.

                  2.5.   Where a headlamp so aimed does not meet the requirements set out in Annex 3 its alignment may be changed, provided that the axis of the beam is not displaced:
            
                         
                     
                     
                        Horizontally, from line A by more than: 0,5° to the left or 0,75° to the right;
                     
                  
                         
                     
                     
                        Vertically not more than 0,25° up or down from line B.
                     
                  2.6.   If, however, vertical adjustment cannot be performed repeatedly to the required position within the tolerances described in paragraph 2.5 above, the instrumental method described in paragraph 3 below shall be applied to test compliance with the required minimum quality of the ‘cut-off’ (as defined in paragraph 2.7 below) and to perform the vertical and horizontal adjustment of the beam.
            2.7.   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 9.8 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 the requirements of paragraph 2.1 to 2.3 above comply with at least one set of measurements.
            2.7.1.   Not more than one ‘cut-off’ shall be visible (1).
            2.7.2.   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 Εβ - log E(β + 0,1°)) where β = the vertical position in degrees.
                     
                  
                         
                     
                     
                        The value of G shall not be less than 0,13 (minimum sharpness) and not greater than 0,40 (maximum sharpness).
                     
                  2.7.3.   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 1a of paragraph 3 below):
            
                        (a)
                     
                     
                        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:
                        (d2 (log E)/dβ2 = 0).
                     
                  
                        (b)
                     
                     
                        The maximum vertical distance between the inflection points determined shall not exceed 0,2°.
                     
                  2.8.   If a partial beam provides a horizontal ‘cut-off’ only: no special requirements for horizontal adjustment apply if not specified by the applicant.
            2.9.   Any ‘cut-off’ of a lighting unit not designed to be separately aimed, according to the applicants specification, must comply with the relevant requirements.
            2.10.   Lighting units when aimed using a method specified by the applicant in accordance with the provisions of the paragraphs 5.2 and 6.2.1.1 of this Regulation: the shape and position of the ‘cut-off’, if any, shall comply with the respective requirements of Table 2 of Annex 3 to this Regulation.
            2.11.   For each further mode of passing-beam, the shape and position of the ‘cut-off’, if any, shall comply automatically with the respective requirements of Table 2 of Annex 3. to this Regulation.
            2.12.   A separate initial aiming and/or adjustment process according to the applicant's specification, based on the provisions of paragraphs 2.1 through 2.6 above, may apply to lighting units intended to be installed separately.
            3.   VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT
            If the ‘cut-off’ complies with the quality requirements of paragraph 2 of this Annex, the beam adjustment may be performed instrumentally.

            3.1.   Vertical adjustment
            Moving upward from below the line B (see Figure 2 below), 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)/dv2 = 0) is determined and positioned on the line B situated one per cent below H-H.
            3.2.   Horizontal adjustment
            The applicant shall specify one of the following horizontal aim methods:
            
                        (a)
                     
                     
                        The ‘0,2 D line’ method (see Figure 2 below).
                        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 Εβ – 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.

                        The ‘3 line’ method (see Figure 3 below)
                        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 Εβ – 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.

               PHOTOMETRIC MEASUREMENT PROVISIONS
            
            1.   GENERAL PROVISIONS
            1.1.   The system or part(s) thereof shall be mounted on a gonio(photo)meter system.
            1.2.   The luminous intensity values shall be determined by means of a photoreceptor contained within a square of 65 mm side and set up to a distance of at least 25 m forward of the centre of reference of each lighting unit perpendicular to the measurement axis from the origin of the gonio(photo)meter system.
            1.3.   During photometric measurements, stray reflections should be avoided by appropriate masking.
            1.4.   The luminous intensities are measured at a nominal distance of 25 m.
            1.5.   The angular coordinates are specified in degrees on a sphere corresponding to a gonio(photo)meter system as defined in Regulation No 48 (see Diagram 1).

            v: latitudinal planes perpendicular to the polar axis
            Polar Axis
            1.6.   Any equivalent photometric method is acceptable, if the accordingly applicable correlation is observed.
            1.7.   Any offset of the centre of reference of each lighting unit, with respect to the goniometer rotation axes, should be avoided. This applies especially to the vertical direction and to lighting units producing a ‘cut-off’.
            An aiming screen shall be used and may be located at a shorter distance than that of the photoreceptor.
            1.8.   The photometric requirements for each single measuring point (angular position) of a lighting function or mode as specified in this Regulation 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;
            1.8.1.   However in those cases where a provision is specified for one side only, the division by the factor of 2 does not apply. These cases are: paragraphs 6.2.5.2, 6.2.8.1, 6.3.2.1.1, 6.3.2.1.2, 6.3.4.1, 6.4.6 and footnote 4 of Table 1 of Annex 3.
            1.9.   The lighting units of the system shall be measured individually; however, simultaneous measurements may be performed on two or more lighting units of an installation unit, being equipped with the same light source types with respect to their power supply (either power controlled or not), if they are sized and situated such, that their illuminating surfaces are completely contained in a rectangle of not more than 300 mm in horizontal extend and not more than 150 mm vertical extend, and, if a common centre of reference is specified by the manufacturer.
            1.10.   The system shall prior to the subsequent test procedures be set to the neutral state.
            1.11.   The system or part(s) thereof shall be so aimed before starting the measurements that the position of the ‘cut-off’ complies with the requirements indicated in the Table 2 of Annex 3 to this Regulation. Parts of a system measured individually and having no ‘cut-off’ shall be installed on the goniometer under the conditions (mounting position) specified by the applicant.
            2.   MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO LIGHT SOURCES
            2.1.   In the case of replaceable filament lamps operated directly under vehicle voltage system conditions:
            
                         
                     
                     
                        The system or parts thereof shall be checked by means of an uncoloured standard (étalon) filament lamp(s) designed for a rated voltage of 12 V. During checking of the system or part of, the voltage at the terminals of the filament lamp(s) shall be regulated so as to obtain the reference luminous flux 13,2 volts as indicated at the relevant data sheet of Regulation No 37.
                     
                  
                         
                     
                     
                        For the measurements, the flux of this filament lamp may differ from the reference luminous flux at 13,2 V specified in Regulation No 37. In this case, the luminous intensity shall be corrected accordingly by the individual factor of the standard (étalon) filament lamp (F = Φ obj./Φ (Voltage)).
                     
                  
                         
                     
                     
                        The system or parts thereof shall be considered acceptable if the requirements of paragraph 6. of this Regulation are met with at least one standard (étalon) filament lamp, which may be submitted with the system.
                     
                  2.2.   In the case of a replaceable gas-discharge light source:
            
                         
                     
                     
                        The voltage applied at the terminals of the ballast(s) or at the terminals of the light source(s) in case the ballast is integrated with the light source, is 13,2 V +/- 0,1 for 12 V systems.
                     
                  
                         
                     
                     
                        The system or parts thereof using a replaceable gas-discharge light source shall comply with the photometric requirements set out in the relevant paragraphs of this Regulation with at least one standard (étalon) light source, which has been aged during at least 15 cycles, as specified in Regulation No 99. The luminous flux of this gas-discharge light source may differ from the objective luminous flux specified in Regulation No 99.
                     
                  
                         
                     
                     
                        In this case, the measured photometric values shall be corrected accordingly.
                     
                  2.3.   In the case of a non-replaceable light source operating directly under vehicle voltage system conditions:
            
                         
                     
                     
                        All measurements on lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps and other) shall be made at 6,3 V, 13,2 V or 28,0 V, or at a voltage as specified by the applicant with respect to any other vehicle voltage system.
                     
                  2.4.   In the case of a light source, replaceable or non-replaceable, which is operated independently from vehicle supply voltage and fully controlled by the system, or in the case of a light source supplied by a special power supply, the test voltage as specified in paragraph 2.3 above shall be applied to the input terminals of that system/power supply. The test laboratory may require from the manufacturer this special power supply needed to supply the light sources.
            2.5.   LED module(s) shall be measured at 6,3 V, 13,2 V or 28,0 V respectively, if not otherwise specified within this Regulation. LED module(s) operated by an electronic light source control gear, shall be measured as specified by the applicant.
            3.   MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO BENDING MODES
            3.1.   In the case of a system or part(s) thereof, which provide a bending mode, the requirements of paragraphs 6.2 (passing-beam), and/or 6.3 (driving-beam) of this Regulation 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:
            
                        3.1.1.
                     
                     
                        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.
                        3.1.1.1.   Compliance with the requirements of paragraphs 6.2.5.2 and 6.2.5.4.1 of this Regulation shall be checked for both Category 1 and Category 2 bending modes without additional horizontal re-aim.
                        3.1.1.2.   Compliance with the requirements of paragraphs 6.2.5.1 and 6.3 of this Regulation, 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.

                        is the spectral luminous efficiency;
                     
                  
                        (λ) (unit: nm)
                     
                     
                        is the wavelength.
                     
                  This value shall be calculated using intervals of one nanometre.
            4.2.   UV-radiation
            The UV-radiation of a low-UV-type LED module shall be such that:
            
               
            Where:
            
                         
                     
                     
                        S(λ) (unit: 1) is the spectral weighting function;
                     
                  
                         
                     
                     
                        km = 683 lm/W is the maximum value of the luminous efficacy of radiation.
                     
                  (For definitions of the other symbols see paragraph 4.1.1 above).
            This value shall be calculated using intervals of one nanometre. The UV-radiation shall be weighted according to the values as indicated in the Table UV below:

            4.3.1.   Illuminance
            4.3.1.1.   For each existing class of passing-beam and for the driving-beam, a photometric measurement shall be carried out after one minute of operation of the respective lighting units and for the following test points:
            
                        Passing-beam
                     
                     
                        :
                     
                     
                        25 RR
                     
                  
                        Driving-beam
                     
                     
                        :
                     
                     
                        HV
                     
                  4.3.1.2.   Operation of the lighting units mentioned in paragraph 4.3.1.1 above shall then be continued until photometric stability has occurred; this condition is considered to be fulfilled if the variation of the illuminance for the test points indicated in paragraph 4.3.1.1 above is less than 3 per cent within any 15 minutes period. After photometric stability has occurred, aiming for complete photometry shall be performed and the photometric values at all required test points shall be determined.
            4.3.1.3.   The ratio between the photometric values measured after one minute of operation and those measured after photometric stability has occurred shall be calculated for the test points indicated in paragraph 4.3.1.1 above. This ratio shall then be applied to all other applicable test points to determine their photometric values after one minute of operation.
            4.3.1.4.   The illuminance values determined after one minute of operation and after occurrence of photometric stability shall comply with applicable photometric 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 of this annex, shall both be within the required colour boundaries.
            5.   THE MEASUREMENT OF THE OBJECTIVE LUMINOUS FLUX OF LED MODULE(S) PRODUCING THE CLASS C (BASIC) 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 2.2.2 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 application.
                        Before the test the 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 of this annex.
