2.1.                                    The definitions given in Regulation No. 48 and the series of amendments in force at the time of application for the type of approval shall apply to this Regulation.
2.2.                                    "Side-marker lamp" means a lamp used to indicate the presence of the vehicle when viewed from the side;
2.3.                                    "Side-marker lamps of different types" means lamps which differ in such essential respects as:
(a) The trade name or mark;
             (b) The characteristics of the optical system (levels of intensity, light distribution angles, category of light source, light source module, etc.);
A change of the colour of the light source or the colour of any filter does not constitute a change of type.
2.4.                                    References made in this Regulation to standard (étalon) filament lamp(s) and to Regulation No. 37 shall refer to Regulation No. 37 and its series of amendments in force at the time of application for type approval.
References made in this Regulation to standard (étalon) LED light source(s) and to Regulation No. 128 shall refer to Regulation No. 128 and its series of amendments in force at the time of application for type approval.
3.                                          Application for approval
3.1.                                    The application for approval shall be submitted by the holder of the trade name or mark or by his duty accredited representative.
At the choice of the applicant, it will specify that the device may be installed on the vehicle with different inclinations of the reference axis in respect to the vehicle reference planes and to the ground or rotate around its reference axis; these different conditions of installation shall be indicated in the communication form. It shall specify:
3.1.1.                              Whether the side-marker lamp is intended to emit amber or red light.
3.2.                                    For each type of side-marker lamp the application shall be accompanied by:
3.2.1.                              Drawings in triplicate, sufficiently detailed to permit identification of the type of lamp and showing geometrically in what position(s) it may be mounted on the vehicle; the axis of observation to be taken as the axis of reference in the tests (horizontal angle H = 0°, vertical angle V = 0°); the point to be taken as the centre of reference in the said tests; the vertical and horizontal tangents to the illuminating surface and their distances from the centre of reference of the lamp. The drawings shall show the position intended for the approval number and the additional symbols in relation to the circle of the approval mark.
3.2.2.                              A brief technical description stating, in particular, with the exception of lamps with non-replaceable light sources:
             (a) The category or categories of filament lamp(s) prescribed; this filament lamp category shall be one of those contained in Regulation No. 37
