Annex 3

PHOTOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS

1. When  photometric  measurements  are  taken,  stray  reflections  shall  be  avoided  by appropriate masking.

2. In the event that the results of measurements are challenged, measurements shall be taken in such a way as to meet the following requirements:

2.1. the distance of measurement shall be such that the law of the inverse of the square of the distance is applicable:

2.2. the measuring equipment shall be such that the angle subtended by the receiver from the reference centre of the light is between 10' and 1 degrees :

2.3. the intensity requirement for a particular direction of observation shall be satisfied if the required intensity is obtained in a direction deviating by not more than one-quarter of a degree from the direction of observation.

3. Table of standard light distribution

3.1. The direction H = 0 degrees  and V = 0 degrees  corresponds to the reference axis.  (On the vehicle, it is horizontal, parallel to the median longitudinal plane of the vehicle and oriented in the required direction of visibility).  It passes through the centre of reference. The values shown in the table give, for the various directions of measurement, the minimum intensities as a percentage of the minimum required in the axis for each lamp (in the direction H = 0 degrees  and V = 0 degrees ).

3.2. Within the field of light distribution of paragraph 3 above schematically shown as a grid, the light pattern should be substantially uniform, i.e. in so far as the light intensity in  each direction of a part of the field formed by the grid lines shall meet at least the lowest minimum value being shown on the grid lines surrounding the questioned direction as a percentage.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION CONTROL PROCEDURES

1. GENERAL

1.1. The conformity requirements shall be considered satisfied from a mechanical and geometric  standpoint,  if  the  differences  do  not  exceed  inevitable  manufacturing deviations within the requirements of this Regulation.

1.2. With respect to photometric performances, the conformity of mass-produced lamps shall not be contested if, when testing photometric performances of any lamp chosen at random and equipped with a standard filament lamp, or when the lamps are equipped with   non-replaceable   light   sources   (filament   lamps   or   other),   and   when   all measurements are made at 6.75 V, 13.5 V or 28.0 V respectively:

1.2.1. no measured value deviates unfavourably by more than 20% from the values prescribed in this Regulation.

1.2.2. If, in the case of a lamp equipped with a replaceable light source and if results of the test described above do not meet the requirements, tests on lamps shall be repeated using another standard filament lamp.

1.3. The chromaticity coordinates shall be complied with when the lamp is equipped with a standard filament lamp, or for lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps or other), when the colorimetric characteristics are verified with the light source present in the lamp.

2. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR VERIFICATION OF CONFORMITY BY THE MANUFACTURER

 For each type of lamp the holder of the approval mark shall carry out at least the following tests, at appropriate intervals. The tests shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation.

 If any sampling shows non-conformity with regard to the type of test concerned, further samples shall be taken and tested. The manufacturer shall take steps to ensure the conformity of the production concerned.

2.1. Nature of tests

 Tests of conformity in this Regulation shall cover the photometric and colorimetric characteristics.

2.2. Methods used in tests

2.2.1. Tests shall generally be carried out in accordance with the methods set out in this Regulation.

2.2.2. In any test of conformity carried out by the manufacturer, equivalent methods may be used with the consent of the competent authority responsible for approval tests. The manufacturer is responsible for proving that the applied methods are equivalent to those laid down in this Regulation.

2.2.3. The application of paragraphs 2.2.1. and 2.2.2. requires regular calibration of test apparatus and its correlation with measurements made by a competent authority.

2.2.4. In all cases the reference methods shall be those of this Regulation, particularly for the purpose of administrative verification and sampling.

2.3. Nature of sampling

 Samples of lamps shall be selected at random from the production of a uniform batch. A uniform batch means a set of lamps of the same type, defined according to the production methods of the manufacturer.

 The assessment shall in general cover series production from individual factories. However, a manufacturer may group together records concerning the same type from several factories, provided these operate under the same quality system and quality management.

2.4. Measured and recorded photometric characteristics

 The sampled lamp shall be subjected to photometric measurements for the minimum values at the points listed in annex 3 and the chromaticity coordinates listed in annex 4, provided for in the Regulation.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR SAMPLING BY AN INSPECTOR

1. GENERAL

1.1. The conformity requirements shall be considered satisfied from a mechanical and a geometric standpoint, in accordance with the requirements of this Regulation, if any, if the differences do not exceed inevitable manufacturing deviations.

1.2. With respect to photometric performance, the conformity of mass-produced lamps shall not be contested if, when testing photometric performances of any lamp chosen at random and equipped with a standard filament lamp, or when the lamps are equipped with   non-replaceable   light   sources   (filament   lamps   or   other),   and   when   all measurements are made at 6.75 V, 13.5 V or 28.0 V respectively:

1.2.1. no measured value deviates unfavourably by more than 20% from the values prescribed in this Regulation.

1.2.2. If, in the case of a lamp equipped with a replaceable light source and if results of the test described above do not meet the requirements, tests on lamps shall be repeated using another standard filament lamp.

1.2.3. Lamps with apparent defects are disregarded.

1.3. The chromaticity coordinates shall be complied with when the lamp is equipped with a standard filament lamp, or for lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps or other), when the colorimetric characteristics are verified with the light source present in the lamp.

 B3:in the case of A2

   one lamp....................................................................................0%

   one lamp more than..................................................................20%

   but not more than...................................................................30%

2.2.2. or, if the conditions of paragraph 1.2.2. for sample A are not fulfilled.

2.3. Approval withdrawn

 Conformity shall be contested and paragraph 14. applied if, following the sampling procedure in Figure 1 of this annex, the deviations of the measured values of the lamps are:

2.3.1. sample A

 A4: one lamp not more than...........................................................20%

   one lamp more than.................................................................30%

 A5: both lamps more than.............................................................20%

2.3.2. sample B

 B4:  in the case of A2

   one lamp more than..................................................................0%

   but not more than....................................................................20%

   one lamp more than................................................................20%

 B5:  in the case of A2

   both lamps more than............................................................20%


 B6:  in the case of A2

   one lamp....................................................................................0%

   one lamp more than.................................................................30%

2.3.3. or, if the conditions of paragraph 1.2.2. for samples A and B are not fulfilled.

3. REPEATED SAMPLING

 In the cases of A3, B2, B3 a repeated sampling, third sample C of two lamps and fourth sample D of two lamps, selected from stock manufactured after alignment, is necessary within two months ' time after the notification.

3.1. The conformity is not contested

3.1.1. Following the sampling procedure shown in Figure 1 of this annex the conformity of mass-produced lamps shall not be contested if the deviations of the measured values of the lamps are:

3.1.1.1. sample C

 C1: one lamp ..................................................................................0%

   one lamp not more than…………..........................................20%

 C2: both lamps more than ...............................................................0%

   but not more than.....................................................................20%

 go to sample D
