2.34.                                "Gonio(photo)meter system (if not otherwise specified in a particular Regulation)" means a system used for the photometric measurements specified by the angular coordinates in degrees on a sphere with a vertical polar axis according to CIE publication No. 70, Vienna 1987, i.e. corresponding to a gonio(photo)meter system with a horizontal ("elevation") axis fixed to the ground and a second, moveable ("rotation") axis perpendicular to the fixed horizontal axis (see Annex 14 to this Regulation).  Note: The above mentioned CIE publication specifies a procedure to correct the angular coordinates in the case where an alternative gonio(photo)meter system is used.
2.35.                                "H plane" means the horizontal plane containing the centre of reference of the lamp.
2.36.                                "Sequential activation" means an electrical connection where the individual light sources of a lamp are wired such that they are activated in a predetermined sequence.

3.1.                                    The application for approval of a vehicle type with regard to the installation of its lighting and light signalling devices shall be submitted by the manufacturer or his duly accredited representative.
3.2.                                    It shall be accompanied by the following documents and particulars in triplicate:
3.2.1.                              A description of the vehicle type with regard to the items mentioned in paragraphs 2.2.1. to 2.2.4. above, together with the restrictions on loading, particularly the maximum permissible load in the boot;
3.2.2.                              A list of the devices prescribed by the manufacturer for the lighting and light-signalling assembly. The list may include several types of device for each operation. Each type shall be duly identified (component, type-approval mark, name of manufacturer, etc.), in addition the list may include in respect of each function the additional annotation "or equivalent devices";
3.2.3.                              A layout drawing of the lighting and light signalling equipment as a whole, showing the position of the various devices on the vehicle;
3.2.4.                              If necessary, in order to verify the conformity to the prescriptions of the present Regulation, layout drawing(s) for each individual lamp showing the illuminating surface as defined in paragraph 2.9., the light-emitting surface as defined in paragraph 2.8., the axis of reference as defined in paragraph 2.11. and the centre of reference as defined in paragraph 2.12. This information is not necessary in the case of the rear registration plate lamp (paragraph 2.7.13.);
3.2.5.                              The application shall include a statement of the method used for the definition of the apparent surface (see paragraph 2.10.).
