            This proposed Directive is to form part of the Coimn^ity type-
approval procedure referred to in Council Directive 7Q/156/ESG
6 February 1970 ( l )*
            This proposal concerns only technical requirements for the con­
struction and testing of main-beam or dipped-beam headlights and their
lamps for motor vehicles , as technical requirements for their installa­
tion are included in another proposal concerning the installation of
lighting and the light signalling devices ( 2 ),
           In elaborating this directive the Commission was of the opinion
that in order to facilitate commercial exchange beyond the borders of
the Community , it was necessary to take into account existing interna­
tional prescriptions and in particular those of the United Nation 's
Economic Commission for Europe ( 3 ) in this perspective the Commission
has also examined the possibility to give to the marks granted by this
organisation the same effects as of the SEC type approval mark .          This
possibility has been descarded as some Kember States have not ratified
to the Agreement of March 1953 of the United Nations concerning the
adoption of uniform conditions of approval and reciprocal recognition
of approval for motor vehicle equipment and parts , in which framework
the activities of the Economic Commission fcr          Europe are carried out .
These particular Member States can therefore not defend their interests
during the activities of this organisation .
           irticle 7 incorporates the present directive in the EEC type-
approval procedure .

 ---pagebreak---               Since certain Member States do not operate a typeapproval
system it" 'is neoessary to insert some provisions in order to ensure
 that vehicles complying with the requirements set out in the Direc - -
 tive can be used in these States .           ( Art , 8 ) ( l ).
              The directive is applicable to motor vehicles with at least ,
 four wheels and a maximum design speed exceeding 25 km/h (Article 9 )*
              Article 10 contains the procedure ,for adapting directive to
 technical progress .       This procedure is set out in Article 13 of the
Council Directive of 6 February , 1970. relating to the type^approval of
motor vehicles and trailers .                              •.    •.
              Article 11 contains two deadlines : before expiry of the
first deadline the Member States shall adopt and publish the measures
necessary in order to comply with the Directive .                  The second deadline "
sets the date on which all of the Member States must simultaneously ■"
implement the common rules (Artiole 11 ( l ) )»
              Finally f the Commission must be informed in good time of all
draft provisions drawn up by the Member States in the field referred
 to in the direotive in order to enable it to comment thereon (Article 11

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission        ;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee ;
Whereas the technical requirements which motor vehicles must statisfy
pursuant to national laws relate inter alia       to their main-beam and
dipped-beam headlights ;
Whereas these requirements differ from one Member State to another , ;•
whereas it is therefore necessary that all Member States adopt the
same requirements either in addition to or in place of their existing
requirements , in order , in particular , to allow the EEC type-approval
procedure which was the subject of the Council Directive (70/156/E3C)^^
of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member
States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trai­
lers      to be applied in respect of each type of vehicle ;
Whereas      common requirements for the installation of lighting and
light signalling devices on motor vehicles and trailers were laid
down by the Council Directive of                (2) }
Whereas common requirements for the construction of other lighting
and light signalling devices have been or will b£ laid down at a
later date ;
Whereas a harmonised             type-approval procedure for main-beam
and dipped .-beam headlights and their lamps makes it possible for
each Member State to check compliance with the common construction
and testing requirements and to inform the other Member States of its
findings by sending a copy of the                type-approval certificate
completed for each type of main-beam and dipped-beam headlight and
  its lamps $ whereas the placing of an EEC type-approval mark on all
main-beam and dipped-beam headlights and their lamps manufactured in
conformity ^ith the approved type obviates any need for technical checks ,
on these in the other Member States ;

whereas to facilitate trade with' the third countries it is advisable to
take into account the technical requirements in this field adopted by the
UH Economic Commission for Europe in its Regulation IIo 1 ( Uniform Regula­
tions for the approval of motor vehicle headlights emitting an asymmetrical
passing "beam or a driving beam or both) and Ho 2 ( Uniform Regulations
concerning approval of incandescent electrio lamps for headlights emitting
an asymmetrical pc.ssing beam or a driving beam or both ), -/hich are annexed
to the Agreement of 20 March 1952 5
Whereas the approximation of national laws relating to motor vehicles entails
reciprocal recognition by Member States of the tests carried out by thera
individually on the basis of the common requirements :    whereas if the system
is to function properly these requirements must be applied by all Member .
States with effect from the same date ;

    c ) The components by whioh the lamp is fixed to the reflector shall
         be so made that , even in darkness , the lanp can be fixed in no
         position but the correct one ( l ).
     d) Headlights designed to s-atisfy the requirements both of Member
         States in which traffic moves on the right and of those in
         which it moves on the left may be adapted for traffic on a
         given side of the road either by an appropriate initial adjust­
         ment when the vehicle is fitted out or by selective setting by
         the driver . Such initial adjustment or selective setting shall
         consist , for example , of fixing either the optical unit at a
         given angle on the vehicle or the lamp at given angle - in rela­
         tion to . the optioal unit . In all cases , only two precisely-
         differentiated setting positions , one for right-hand and one
         for left-hand traffic , shall be possible , and the design shall
         preclude inadvertent Shifting of the headlight from one posi­
         tion to another or its setting in an intermediate position .
         Where two different setting positions are provided for the lamp ,
         the components attaching the lanp to the reflector must be so
         designed and manufactured that , in . each of its two setting ,
         the lamp will be held in position with the precision required for
         headlights intended for traffic on only one side of the road .
         Conformity with the requirements of this item shall be verified
         visually and , where necessary , by a test fitting .
• Illumination .
    a) Headlights shall be' so made that the passing-beam filaments of
      .. suitable lamps give adequate illumination without dazzle , while
         the driving-beam filaments of suitable lanpS also give good
         illumination .
         The illumination produced by the headlight shall be checked on a
         vertical soreen set at a distance of 25 m in front of the head­
         light and at right angles to its axis ( see figures 1 and 2 in
         Annex T) , and with a standard lamp designed for a nominal vol­
         tage of 12 V , having a smooth and colourless bulb , and exhibiting
         the following characteristics at th : t voltage s
( l ) It is considered that an arrangement satisfies the requirements
        of this item , provided that the lamp can be easily fitted into
        the headlight and that the positioning lug can be correctly fitted
        into its lsot even in darkness , i.e. provided that the slot is
        of just sufficient size .    It is considered that an arrangement - •

         to permit of satisfactory adjustment with its aid . The " cut-off "
         shall be a horizontal straight line on the side opposite to the
         direction of the traffic for which the headlight is intended ;
         on the other side it should be horizontal or within an angle
         of 15° above the horizontal .
         The headlight shall be so adjusted that t

               of right-hand traffic , the " cut-off" on the left half of
               the screen ( l ) is horizontal and , in the case of headlights
               designed to meet the requirements of left-hand traffic ,
               the " cut-off" on the right half of the screen is horizontal ;
         ii )  this horizontal part of the " cut-off" is' situated on the
               screen 25 cm below the outline of the horizontal plane
               passing through the focus of the headlight ( see figures 1
               and 2 in Annex V) j

               1 and 2 ( 2 ) .
         When so adjusted , the headlight shall , if it is intended to pro­
         vide a passing beam and a driving beam , comply with the require­
         ments referred to in o ) and d ) of this item . If it is intended
         primarily to provide a passing beam , it needs comply only with
         the requirements referred to in c ) ( 3 ).
( 1 ) The adjustment screen shall be sufficiently wide to allow exami­
      nation of the " cut-off " over a range of at least 5° from the line
      vv .
( 2 ) If , in the case of a headlight designed to satisfy the requirements
      of this annex with respeot to the passing beam only , the focal axis
      diverges appreciably from the general direction of the beam , lateral
      adjustment shall be effected in the manner which best satisfies the
      requirements for illumination at points 75 and 50 .

     Where a headlight so adjusted does not meet the requirements refer­
     red to in o ) and d ) , its adjustment may be changed , provided that
     the axis of the bean or the point of intersection E specified in
     figure 1 and 2 of JLNB3X V iabove is not laterally displaced by more
     than 1° (« 44 on ) to the right or loft ( l ).    To facilitate adjust­
     ment by means of the " cut-off", the headlight may be partially oc­
     culted in order to sharpen the " cut-off".
     If the headlight is designed solely to provide a . driving beam , it
     shall be so adjusted that the area of maximum illumination is cen­
     tred on the point of intersection of the lines hh and w . Such a
     headlight need meets only the requirements referred to in d ) .

        figure 4 below ) drawn through the intersection of this plane with
         the axis of the corresponding centering cylinder .
    2 . The drawing is not mandatory with respect to the design of the
        shield and filaments .
    3 * The value established for Q-Q * applies solely to the standard lamp
        used for the approval testing of a headlight ; the dimensions of
        the shield must be such that the points Q' are situated within the
        edge of the shield .
    4 * The tolerances indicated relate to th& test required for . the
        approval' of a lamp type .
