Subsequent numbers shall be assigned to other countries in the chronological order in which they ratify or accede to the Agreement Concerning the Adoption of Uniform Technical Prescriptions for Wheeled Vehicles, Equipment and Parts which can be Fitted and/or be Used on Wheeled Vehicles and the Conditions for Reciprocal Recognition of Approvals Granted on the Basis of these Prescriptions, and the numbers thus assigned shall be communicated by the Secretary-General of the United Nations to the Contracting Parties to the Agreement.
[6]/  Technical requirements for filament lamps: see Regulation No. 37.
[7]/  HIR1 and/or H9 filament lamps shall only be permitted to produce passing beam in conjunction with the installation of headlamp cleaning device(s) conforming to Regulation No. 45.  In addition, with respect to vertical inclination, the provision of paragraph 6.2.6.2.2. of Regulation No. 48, 01 series of amendments, shall not be applied when these lamps are installed.
This restriction shall apply as long as there is no general agreement on the use of levelling devices and headlamp cleaners with respect to the level of the performance of the headlamp.
[8]/  A headlamp is regarded as satisfying the requirements of this paragraph if the filament lamp can be easily fitted into the headlamp and the positioning lugs can be correctly fitted into their slots even in darkness.
[9]/  The test screen must be sufficiently wide to allow examination of the "cut-off" over a range of at least 5° on either side of the line vv.
[10]/  If the beam does not have a cut-off with a clear "elbow", the lateral adjustment shall be effected in the manner which best satisfies the requirements for illumination at points 75 R and 50 R for right-hand traffic and for points 75 L and 50 L for left-hand traffic.
[11]/  Such a special "passing beam" headlamp may incorporate a driving beam not subject to requirements.
[12]/  The limit of realignment of 1° towards the right or left is not incompatible with upward or downward vertical realignment.  The latter is limited only by the requirements of paragraph 6.3. However, the horizontal part of the "cut-off" should not extend beyond the line hh (the provisions of paragraph 6.3. are not applicable to headlamps intended to meet the requirements of this Regulation only for provision of a passing beam).
[13]/  Illumination values in any point of zones A and B, which also lies within zone III, shall not exceed 0.7 lux.
