mark;

       2.4.2. the characteristics of the optical system;

       2.4.3. the inclusion or elimination of components capable of altering the optical effects by reflection, refraction, absorption and/or deformation during operation; the fitting or elimination of filters intended solely to change the colour of the beam but not its light distribution does not constitute a change of type;

       2.4.4. the rated voltage;

       2.4.5. the shape of the filament or filaments;

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

       2.4.7. the materials constituting the lens and coating, if any.

       3. APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL

       3.1. The application for approval shall be submitted by the owner of the trade name or mark or by his duly accredited representative.  It shall specify:

       3.1.1. whether the HSB unit is intended to provide both a passing beam and a driving beam or only one of these beams;

       3.1.2. where the HSB unit is intended to provide a passing beam, whether it is designed for both right-hand and left-hand traffic or for right-hand or left-hand traffic only.

       3.2. Every application for approval shall be accompanied by:

       3.2.1. drawings in triplicate, sufficiently detailed to permit identification of the type and giving a front view of the HSB unit (with, if applicable, details of the lens moulding) and a cross-section; also the filament(s) and shield(s) shall be shown on the drawings at a scale of 2:1 both in front view and in side view; the drawing must 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;

       3.2.3. samples as follows:

       3.2.3.1. for approval of an HSB unit emitting uncoloured light: five samples,

       3.2.3.2. for approval of an HSB unit emitting coloured light: two coloured-light samples and five uncoloured-light samples of the same type, differing from the type submitted, only in that the lens or filter is not coloured,

       3.2.3.3. in the case of HSB units which emit coloured light, which differ from uncoloured-light units only in the colour of light emitted and which have already satisfied the requirements of paragraphs 6., 7. and 8. below, it will be sufficient to submit only one sample of a coloured-light unit to undergo the tests described in paragraph 9. below.

       3.2.4. For the test of plastic material of which the lenses are made:

       3.2.4.1. thirteen lenses.

       3.2.4.1.1. Six of these lenses may be replaced by six samples of material at least 60 x 80 mm in size, having a flat or convex outer surface and a substantially flat area (radius of curvature not less than 300 mm) in the middle measuring at least 15 x 15 mm.

       3.2.4.1.2. Every such lens or sample
