          1. Scope
         This Regulation applies to daytime running lamps for vehicles of category L, M, N and T[1].
2.                                          Definitions
         For the purposes of this Regulation:
2.1.                                    "Daytime running lamp" means a lamp or an interdependent lamp system facing in a forward direction used to make the vehicle more easily visible when driving during daytime;
2.2.                                    The definitions given in Regulation No. 48 and its series of amendments in force at the time of application for type approval shall apply to this Regulation;
2.3.                                    "Daytime running lamps of different types" means lamps or interdependent lamp systems which differ in such essential respects as:
           (a)   The trade name or mark;
           (b)   The characteristics of the optical system, (levels of intensity, light distribution angles, category of light source, light source module, etc.);
         A change of the colour of the light source or the colour of any filter does not constitute a change of type.
2.4.                                    References made in this Regulation to standard (étalon) filament lamp(s) and to Regulation No. 37 shall refer to Regulation No. 37 and its series of amendments in force at the time of application for type approval.
References made in this Regulation to standard (étalon) LED light source(s) and to Regulation No. 128 shall refer to Regulation No. 128 and its series of amendments in force at the time of application for type approval.
3.                                          Application for approval
3.1.                                    The application for approval shall be transmitted by the holder of the trade name or mark or his duly accredited representative.
At the choice of the applicant, it will specify that the daytime running lamp may be installed on the vehicle with different inclinations of the reference axis in respect to the vehicle reference planes and to the ground or rotate around its reference axis; these different conditions of installation shall be indicated in the communication form.
All the interdependent lamps of an interdependent lamp system shall be submitted for type approval by the same applicant.
3.2.                                    For each type of daytime running lamp, the application shall be accompanied by:
3.2.1.                              Drawings (three copies) in sufficient detail to permit identification of the type of the daytime running lamp and showing geometrically the position(s) in which the daytime running lamp may be mounted on the vehicle, the axis of observation to be taken as the axis of reference in the tests (horizontal angle H = 0°, vertical angle V = 0°) and the point to be taken as the centre of reference
