7. Intensity of light emitted
7.1. The intensity of the light emitted by each of the two samples submitted shall be:
| Side-marker lamp category | SM1 | SM2 | |
7.1.1. | Minimum intensity | In the axis of reference | 4.0 cd | 0.6 cd |
| Within the specified angular field, other than above | 0.6 cd | 0.6 cd | |
7.1.2. | Maximum intensity | Within the specified angular field1 | 25.0 cd | 25.0 cd |
7.1.3. | Angular field | Horizontal | ±45 deg. | ±30 deg. |
| Vertical | ±10 deg. | ±10 deg. | |
1 In addition, for red side-marker lamp, in the angular field from 60° to 90° in horizontal direction and ±20° in vertical direction towards the front of the vehicle, the maximum intensity is limited to 0.25 cd. | ||||
7.1.4. In the case of a lamp containing more than one light source:
The lamp shall comply with the minimum intensity required when any one light source has failed;
When all light sources are illuminated the maximum intensity specified may not be exceeded.
All light sources which are connected in series are considered to be one light source.
7.2. Outside the reference axis and within the angular fields defined in the diagrams in Annex 1 to this Regulation, the intensity of the light emitted by each of the two side-marker lamps supplied must:
7.2.1. In each direction corresponding to the points in the light distribution table reproduced in Annex 4 to this Regulation, be not less than the product of the minimum specified in paragraph 7.1. above by the percentage specified in the said table for the direction in question;
7.2.2. In no direction within the space from which the side-marker lamp is visible, exceed the maximum specified in paragraph 7.1. above;
7.2.3. The provisions of paragraph 2.2. of Annex 4 to this Regulation on local variations of intensity must be observed.
7.3. Annex 4, to which reference is made in paragraph 7.2.1. above, gives particulars of the measurement methods to be used.
8. Colour of light emitted
The colour of the light emitted inside the field of the light distribution grid defined at paragraph 2. of Annex 4 shall be amber. However it can be red, if the rearmost side-marker lamp is grouped or combined or reciprocally incorporated with the rear position lamp, the rear end-outline marker lamp, the rear fog lamp, the stop lamp, or is grouped with or has part of the light emitting surface in common with the rear retro-reflector. To check these colorimetric characteristics, the test procedure described in paragraph 9. of this Regulation shall be applied. Outside this field no sharp variation of colour shall be observed.
However, for lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps and other), the colorimetric characteristics should be verified with the light sources present in the lamp, in accordance with relevant subparagraphs of paragraph 9.1. of this Regulation.
9. Test procedure
9.1. All measurements, photometric and colorimetric shall be carried out with an uncoloured or coloured standard light source of the category prescribed for the device, supplied with the voltage:
(a) In the case of filament lamps, that is necessary to produce the reference luminous flux required for that category of filament lamp;
(b) In the case of LED light sources of 6.75 V or 13.5 V; the luminous flux value produced shall be corrected. The correction factor is the ratio between the objective luminous flux and the mean value of the luminous flux found at the voltage applied;
(c) In the case of lamps with non-replaceable light sources: 6.75 V and 13.5 V respectively;
(d) In the case of a system that uses an electronic light source control gear being part of the lamp[4] applying at the input terminals of the lamp the voltage declared by the manufacturer or, if not indicated, 6.75 V, 13.5 V or 28.0 V, respectively;
(e) In the case of a system that uses an electronic light source control gear not being part of the lamp, the voltage declared by the manufacturer shall be applied to the input terminals of the lamp.
9.2. The test laboratory shall require from the manufacturer the light source control gear needed to supply the light source and the applicable functions.
9.3. The voltage to be applied to the lamp shall be noted in the communication form in Annex 2 of this Regulation.
9.4. The limits of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of a light-signalling device shall be determined.
10. Modification of side-marker lamp type and extension of approval
10.1. Any modification of a side-marker lamp type shall be notified to the Type Approval Authority which approved the lamp. The Type Approval Authority may then either:
10.1.1. Consider that the modifications are unlikely to have an appreciable adverse effect and that, in any case, the side-maker lamp still meets the requirements; or
10.1.2. Require a further test report from the Technical Service responsible for conducting the tests.
10.2. Confirmation or refusal of approval, specifying the alterations, shall be communicated by the procedure specified in paragraph 5.3. of this Regulation to the Parties to the Agreement which apply this Regulation.
10.3. The Type Approval Authority issuing the extension of approval shall assign a series number to each communication form drawn up for such an extension and inform thereof the other Contracting Parties to the Agreement applying this Regulation by means of a communication form conforming to the model in Annex 2 to this Regulation.
11. Conformity of production
The conformity of production procedures shall comply with those set out in the Agreement, Appendix 2 (E/ECE/324-E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.2), with the following requirements:
11.1. Any side-marker lamp approved according to this Regulation shall be so manufactured as to conform to the type approved by meeting the requirements set forth in paragraphs 7. and 8. above.
11.2. The minimum requirements for conformity of production control procedures set forth in Annex 5 to this Regulation shall be complied with.
11.3. The minimum requirements for sampling by an inspector set forth in Annex 6 to this Regulation shall be complied with.
11.4. The Type Approval Authority which has granted type approval may at any time verify the conformity control methods applied in each production facility. The normal frequency of these verifications shall be once every two years.
12. Penalties for non-conformity of production
12.1. The approval granted in respect of a side-marker lamp may be withdrawn if the foregoing conditions are not satisfied.
12.2. If a Contracting Party to the Agreement applying this Regulation withdraws an approval it has previously granted, it shall forthwith so notify the other Contracting Parties applying this Regulation, by means of a communication form conforming to the model in Annex 2 to this Regulation.
13. Production definitively discontinued
If the holder of an approval completely ceases to manufacture a side-marker lamp approved in accordance with this Regulation, he shall so inform Type Approval Authority which granted the approval. Upon receiving the relevant communication, that Authority shall inform the other Parties to the Agreement applying this Regulation, by means of a communication form conforming to the model in Annex 2 to this Regulation.
14. Names and addresses of Technical Services responsible for conducting approval tests, and of Type Approval Authorities
The Contracting Parties to the Agreement applying this Regulation shall communicate to the United Nations secretariat the names and addresses of the Technical Services responsible for conducting approval tests and of the Type Approval Authorities which grant approval and to which communication forms certifying approval or extension or refusal or withdrawal of approval, issued in other countries, are to be sent.

A rear position lamp (R) approved in accordance with Regulation No. 7, 01 series of amendments;
A rear fog lamp (F) approved in accordance with Regulation No. 38, 01 series of amendments;
A reversing lamp (AR) approved in accordance with Regulation No. 23, 01 series of amendments;
A stop lamp (S1) approved in accordance with Regulation No. 7, 01 series of amendments;
A side-marker lamp (SM1) approved in conformity with the present Regulation in its original form.
Lamp reciprocally incorporated as grouped with a headlamp
Example 3
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 front direction indicator approved in accordance with the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 6 and grouped with a side-marker lamp in accordance with this Regulation in the original form.
or: A headlamp with a passing-beam designed for right-hand and left-hand traffic and a driving-beam approved in Germany (E 1) in accordance with the requirements of Regulation No. 1 as amended by the 01 series of amendments, which is reciprocally incorporated with the same front direction indicator and the same side-marker lamp as above.
or even: Either of the above-mentioned headlamps approved as a single lamp.
The main body of the headlamp shall bear the only valid approval number, for instance:

Light source modules
MD E3 17325
The light source module bearing the identification code shown above has been approved together with a lamp approved in Italy (E 3) under approval number 17325.
Annex 4
Photometric measurements
2.1.1. Minimum values:
0.6 cd at any point other than the reference axis, at which it shall be 4.0 cd.
2.1.2. Maximum values:
25.0 cd at any point
2.2. SM2 category of side-marker lamps
2.2.1. Minimum values:
0.6 cd, at any point
2.2.2. Maximum values:
25.0 cd, at any point
2.3. For SM1 and SM2 category of side-marker lamps it may be sufficient to check only five points selected by the Type Approval Authority.
2.4. Within the field of light distribution shown above as a grid the light pattern should be substantially uniform, i.e. the light intensity in every direction within a part of the field formed by the grid lines shall meet at least the lowest minimum value applicable to the respective grid lines.
2.5. However in the case where a device is intended to be installed with its H plane at a mounting height less than 750 mm above the ground, the photometric intensity is verified only up to an angle of 5° downwards.
3. Photometric measurement of lamps
The photometric performance shall be checked:
3.1. For non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps and other): with the light sources present in the lamp, in accordance with the relevant subparagraph of paragraph 9.1. of this Regulation.
3.2. For replaceable light sources:
When equipped with light sources at 6.75 V, 13.5 V or 28.0 V, the luminous intensity values produced shall be corrected. For filament lamps the correction factor is the ratio between the reference luminous flux and the mean value of the luminous flux found at the voltage applied (6.75 V, 13.5 V or 28.0 V).
For LED light sources the correction factor is the ratio between the objective luminous flux and the mean value of the luminous flux found at the voltage applied (6.75 V, 13.5 V or 28.0 V).
The actual luminous fluxes of each light source used shall not deviate more than ±5 per cent from the mean value. Alternatively and in case of filament lamps only, a standard filament lamp may be used in turn, in each of the individual positions, operated at its reference flux, the individual measurements in each position being added together.
3.3. For any signalling lamp except those equipped with filament lamp(s), the luminous intensities, measured after one minute and after 30 minutes of operation, shall comply with the minimum and maximum requirements. The luminous intensity distribution after one minute of operation can be calculated from the luminous intensity distribution after 30 minutes of operation by applying at each test point the ratio of luminous intensities measured at HV after one minute and after 30 minutes of operation.
Annex 5
Minimum requirements for conformity of production control procedures
For each type of side-marker 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 Type Approval 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. above requires regular calibration of test apparatus and its correlation with measurements made by a Type Approval 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 side-marker lamps shall be selected at random from the production of a uniform batch. A uniform batch means a set of side-marker 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 4 and the required chromaticity coordinates.
2.5. Criteria governing acceptability
The manufacturer is responsible for carrying out a statistical study of the test results and for defining, in agreement with the Type Approval Authority, criteria governing the acceptability of his products in order to meet the specifications laid down for verification of conformity of products in paragraph 11.1. of this Regulation.
The criteria governing the acceptability shall be such that, with a confidence level of 95 per cent, the minimum probability of passing a spot check in accordance with Annex 6 (first sampling) would be 0.95.
