different "types" are gas-discharge light sources within the same category which differ in such essential respects as:

       2.1.2.1. Trade name or mark; [1/]

       2.1.2.2. Bulb design, in so far as these differences affect the optical results;

       2.1.2.3. Bulb colour.  A yellow bulb or an additional yellow outer bulb, solely intended to change the colour but not the other characteristics of a gas-discharge light source emitting white light, does not constitute a change of type of the gas-discharge light source.

       2.2. Application for approval

       2.2.1. Application for approval shall be submitted by the owner of the trade name or mark, or by his duly accredited representative.

       2.2.2. Every application for approval shall be accompanied (see also paragraph 2.4.2.) by:

       2.2.2.1. Drawings in triplicate, sufficiently detailed to permit identification of the type;

       2.2.2.2. A technical description including ballast identification;

       2.2.2.3. Three samples of each colour which has been applied for;

       2.2.2.4. One sample of the ballast.

       2.2.3. In the case of a type of gas-discharge light source differing only by the trade name or mark from a type that has already been approved, it shall be sufficient to submit:

       2.2.3.1. A declaration by the manufacturer that the type submitted is (except in the trade name or mark) identical to and has been produced by the same manufacturer as the type already approved, the latter being identified by its approval code;

       2.2.3.2. Two samples bearing the new trade name and mark.

       2.2.4. The competent authority shall verify the existence of satisfactory arrangements for ensuring effective control of the conformity of production before type approval is granted.

       2.3. Inscriptions

       2.3.1. Gas-discharge light sources submitted for approval shall bear on the cap:

       2.3.1.1. The trade name or mark of the applicant;

       2.3.1.2. The international designation of the relevant category;

       2.3.1.3. The rated wattage; this need not be indicated separately if it is part of the international designation of the relevant category;

       2.3.1.4. A space of sufficient size to accommodate the approval mark.

       2.3.2. The space mentioned in paragraph 2.3.1.4. shall be indicated in the drawings accompanying the application for approval.

       2.3.3. Other inscriptions than those covered by paragraphs 2.3.1. and 2.4.4. may be affixed on the cap.

       2.3.4. The ballast used for the type approval of the light source shall be marked with type and trade mark identification and with the rated voltage and wattage, as indicated on the relevant lamp data sheet.

       2.4. Approval

       2.4.1. If all samples of a type of gas-discharge light source which are submitted in accordance with paragraphs 2.2.2.3. or 2.2.3.2. comply with the requirements of this Regulation when tested with the ballast according to paragraph 2.2.2.4., approval shall be granted.

       2.4.2. An approval code shall be assigned to each
