one side-marker 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 side-marker lamps and fourth sample D of two side-marker 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 side-marker lamps shall not be contested if the deviations of the measured values of the side-marker lamps are :
3.1.1.1. sample C
C1: one side-marker lamp..............................................................0 %
one side-marker lamp not more than......................................20 %
C2: both side-marker lamps more than .........................................0 %
but not more than ...................................................................20 %
go to sample D
3.1.1.2. sample D
D1: in the case of C2
both side-marker lamps...........................................................0 %
3.1.2. or, if the conditions of paragraph 1.2.2. for sample C are fulfilled.
3.2. The conformity is contested
3.2.1. Following the sampling procedure shown in Figure 1 of this annex the conformity of mass-produced side-marker lamps shall be contested and the manufacturer requested to make his production meet the requirements (alignment) if the deviations of the measured values of the side-marker lamps are:
3.2.1.1. sample D
D2: in the case of C2
one side-marker lamp more than .............................................0 %
but not more than....................................................................20 %
one side-marker lamp not more than......................................20 %
