       3.11. Standard gas-discharge light sources

       Standard (etalon) gas-discharge light sources shall comply requirements applicable to type approval light sources and to the specific requirements as stated in the relevant data sheet.

       In the case of a type emitting white and yellow light the standard light source shall emit white light.

       4. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION

       4.1. Gas-discharge light sources approved to this Regulation shall be so manufactured as to conform to the type approved by meeting the inscriptions and technical requirements set forth in paragraph 3 above and annexes 1 and 3 to this Regulation.

       4.2. In order to verify that the requirements of paragraph 4.1. are met, suitable controls of the production shall be carried out.

       4.3. The holder of the approval shall in particular:

       4.3.1. ensure existence of procedures for the effective control of the quality of products,

       4.3.2. have access to the control equipment necessary for checking the conformity to each approved type,

       4.3.3. ensure that data of test results are recorded and that related documents shall remain available for a period to be determined in accordance with the administrative service,

       4.3.4. analyse the results of each type of test, applying criteria of annex 7, in order to verify and ensure the stability of the product characteristics making allowance for variation of an industrial production,

       4.3.5. ensure that for each type of gas-discharge light source, at least the tests prescribed   in annex 6 to this Regulation are carried out,

       4.3.6. ensure that any collecting of samples giving evidence of non-conformity with the type of test considered shall give rise to another sampling and another test.  All the necessary steps shall be taken to re-establish the conformity of the corresponding production.

       4.4. The competent authority which has granted type-approval may at any time verify the conformity control methods applicable to each production unit.

       4.4.1. In every inspection, the test books and production survey records shall be presented to the visiting inspector.

       4.4.2. The inspector may take samples at random which will be tested in the manufacturer's laboratory.  The minimum number of samples may be determined according to the results of the manufacturer's own verification.

       4.4.3. When the quality level appears unsatisfactory or when it seems necessary to verify the validity of the tests carried out in application of paragraph 4.4.2. above, the inspector shall select samples, to be sent to the technical service which has conducted the type approval tests.

       4.4.4. The competent authority may carry out any tests prescribed in this Regulation. These tests will be on samples selected at random without causing distortion of
