Control of conformity of production

         1. Tests

1.1.  Position of lamps
The position of the lamps as specified in paragraph 6. of this Regulation shall be checked in accordance with the general requirements set out in paragraph 5. of this Regulation. The values measured for the distances shall be such that the individual specifications applicable to each lamp are fulfilled.
1.2.  Visibility of lamps
1.2.1.  The angles of geometric visibility shall be checked in accordance with paragraph 2.11. of this Regulation. The values measured for the angles shall be such that the individual specifications applicable to each lamp are fulfilled except that the limits of the angles may have an allowance corresponding to the ±3° variation permitted in paragraph 5.3. of this Regulation for the mounting of the light-signalling devices.
1.2.2.  The visibility of red light towards the front and of white light towards the rear shall be checked in accordance with paragraph 5.9. of this Regulation.
1.3.  Alignment of passing-beam headlamps towards the front
1.3.1.  Initial downward inclination
(The initial downward inclination of the cut-off of the passing-beam shall be checked against the requirements of paragraph 6.2.5. of this Regulation).
1.4.  Electrical connections and tell-tales
The electrical connections shall be checked by switching on every lamp supplied by the electrical system of the motorcycle.
The lamps and tell-tales shall function in accordance with the provisions set out in paragraphs 5.10. to 5.12. of this Regulation and with the individual specifications, applicable to each lamp.
1.5.  Light intensities
1.5.1.  Driving-beam headlamps
The aggregate maximum intensity of the driving-beam headlamp(s) shall be such that the requirement in paragraph 6.1.9. of this Regulation is fulfilled.
1.6.  The presence, number, colour, arrangement and, where applicable, the category of lamps shall be checked by visual inspection of the lamps and their markings. These shall be such that the requirements set out in paragraph 5.13. of this Regulation and the individual specifications applicable to each lamp are fulfilled.
