       1.2. "Coating" means any product or products applied in one or more layers to the outer face of a lens;

       1.3. "Headlamps of different "types" mean headlamps which differ in such essential respects as:

       1.3.1. the trade name or mark;

       1.3.2. the characteristics of the optical system;

       1.3.3. the inclusion or elimination of components capable of altering the optical effects by reflection, refraction, absorption and/or deformation during operation;

       1.3.4. the kind of beam produced (passing beam, driving beam or both);

       1.3.5. the materials constituting the lenses and coating, if any;

       1.3.6. the category
