Examples of possible markings for grouped lamps situated at the front of the vehicle

The vertical and horizontal lines schematize the shape of the lighting device.  These are not part of the approval mark.

Note: The three examples shown above correspond to a lighting device bearing an approval mark relating to:

A front position lamp approved in accordance with the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 7;

A headlamp with a passing beam designed for right-hand and left-hand traffic and a driving beam with a maximum intensity comprised between 86,250 and 101,250 candelas, approved in accordance with the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 8;

A daytime running lamp approved in accordance with Regulation No. 87 in its original form;

A front direction indicator lamp of category 1a approved in accordance with the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 6.

       Lamp reciprocally incorporated with a headlamp

The above example corresponds to the marking of a lens intended to be used in different types of headlamps, namely:

       either:

a headlamp with a passing beam designed for right-hand and left-hand traffic and a driving beam with a maximum intensity comprised between 86,250 and 101,250 candelas, approved in Germany (E 1) in accordance with the requirements of Regulation No. 8 as amended by the 02 series of amendments,
which is reciprocally incorporated with
a daytime running lamp approved in accordance with Regulation No. 87 in its original form;
