       2.4.3. Inclusion of additional components capable of altering the optical effects by reflection, refraction, absorption and/or deformation during operation;

       2.4.4. The rated voltage (the same approval number may be granted if the only change is of rated voltage);

       2.4.5. The rated wattage;

       2.4.6. The shape of the filaments);

       2.4.7. The kind the beam produced (passing beam, driving beam of both);

       2.4.8. Suitability for right-hand or left-hand traffic or for both traffic systems;

       2.4.9. The colour of the light emitted;

       2.4.10. The materials constituting the lens and coating, if any.

       3. APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL

       3.1. The application for approval shall be submitted by the owner of the trade name or mark or by his duly accredited representative.  It shall specify:

       3.1.1. Whether the SB unit is intended to provide both a passing beam and a driving beam, or only one of these beams;

       3.1.2. Whether, if the headlamp is intended to provide a passing beam, it is designed for both left-hand and right-hand traffic or for either left-hand or right-hand traffic only;

       3.1.3. Where applicable, that it is designed for agricultural or forest tractors and other slow- moving vehicles (see annex 1).

       3.2. Every application for approval shall be accompanied by:

       3.2.1. Drawings in triplicate, sufficiently detailed to permit identification of the type and   giving a front view of the unit (with, if applicable, details of the lens moulding) and a cross-section; also the filament(s) and shield(s) shall be shown on the drawings at a scale of 2 : I both in front view and in side view; the drawing must show the position intended for the approval number and the additional symbols in relation to the circle of the approval mark;

       3.2.2. Brief technical description;

       3.2.3. Samples as follows:

       3.2.3.1. For approval of an SB unit to emit white light: five samples;

       3.2.3.2. For approval of a unit to emit coloured light: one coloured-light sample, and five white- light samples differing from the type submitted only in that the lens or filter is not coloured.

       3.2.3.3. In the case of SB units differing only in that they are designed to emit coloured light from a type designed to emit white light and which has previously satisfied the tests in paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 below, it will be sufficient to submit one sample of the coloured- light type to undergo only the tests given in paragraph 9.

       3.2.4. For the test of plastic material of which the lenses are made:

       3.2.4.1. thirteen lenses;

       3.2.4.1.1. six of these lenses may be replaced by six samples of material at least 60 x 80 nun in size, having a flat or convex outer surface and a substantially flat area (radius of curvature
