... Introduction a0c0
... This Regulation combines the provisions of the individual UN Regulations Nos. 19, 98, 112, 113, 119 and 123 into a single regulation, and is the outcome of the WP.29 decision to simplify the UN lighting and light-signalling regulations based on the initial proposal by the European Union and Japan. a0c0
... The objective of this Regulation is to increase the clarity, consolidate and streamline the complexity of requirements in UN Regulations Nos. 19, 98, 112, 113, 119 and 123 and prepare for the future transition to performance based requirements, by reducing the number of regulations through an editorial exercise without changing any of the detailed technical requirements already in force up to the date of entry into force of this Regulation. a0c0
... Although this Regulation departs from the traditional approach of having a separate regulation for each device, by combining all road illumination devices into a single regulation, this simplified regulation contains all provisions and operates according to the existing structure of series of amendments, their transitional provisions and supplements. The transitional provisions associated with a new series of amendments of this Regulation will be identified for each device as applicable, this also includes a list of devices and their applicable change indexes relating to the series of amendments. a0c0
... It is expected that all Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement will adopt this Regulation and shall provide detailed explanation in case they are not in a position to adopt particular devices. These decisions will be registered in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/343 that records the status of the annexed regulations and of the amendments. a0c0
... Regarding the requirements for approval markings, this Regulation includes the requirements for the use of the "Unique Identifier" and is conditional upon access to a secure internet database established by UNECE (in accordance with Schedule 5 of the 1958 Agreement [1]) where all type approval documentation is held. When the "Unique Identifier" is used there is no requirement for the lamps to carry the conventional type approval markings (E-mark). If it is technically not possible to use the "Unique Identifier" (e.g. if the access to the UNECE internet database cannot be secured or the database is not operational), the use of conventional type approval markings is required until the use of the "Unique Identifier" is enabled. a0c0

5.4.1. Aiming procedure a0c0
5.4.1.1. For a correct aiming the passing beam shall produce a sufficiently sharp "cut-off" to permit a satisfactory visual adjustment with its aid as indicated in paragraph 1 of Annex 6. The aiming shall be carried out using a flat vertical screen set up at a distance of 10 or 25 m forward of the headlamp and at right angles to the H-V. The screen shall be sufficiently wide to allow examination and adjustment of the "cut-off" of the passing beam over at least 3° on either side of the V-V line. The "cut-off" shall be substantially horizontal and shall be as straight as possible from at least 3° L to 3° R. a0c0
5.4.1.2. The headlamp shall be aimed according to paragraph 3. of Annex 6. a0c0
... If, however, vertical adjustment cannot be performed repeatedly to the required position within the allowed tolerances, the instrumental method of Annex 6, paragraphs 4 and 5 shall be applied to test compliance with the required minimum quality of the "cut-off" line and to perform the beam vertical adjustment. a0c0
5.4.2. When so aimed, the headlamp must, if its approval is sought solely for provision of a passing beam[10], comply with the requirements set out in paragraphs 5.4.4.; if it is intended to provide both a passing beam and a driving beam, it shall comply with the requirements set out in paragraphs 5.4.4. and 5.1. a0c0
[10] Such a special "passing beam" headlamp may incorporate a driving beam not subject to requirements. a0c0
5.4.3. Where a headlamp so aimed does not meet the requirements set out in paragraphs 5.4.4. and 5.1., its alignment may be changed, except for headlamps that have no mechanism to adjust horizontal aim, on condition that the axis of the beam is not displaced laterally by more than 0.5 degree to the right or left and vertically by not more than 0.25 degree up or down. To facilitate alignment by means of the "cut-off", the headlamp may be partially occulted in order to sharpen the "cut-off". However, the "cut-off" should not extend beyond the line H-H. a0c0
5.4.4. The passing beam shall meet the requirements as shown in the applicable table below and the applicable figure as shown in Annex 4. a0c0

Alternatively and in case of filament light sources only, a standard filament light source 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. a0c0
5.6.3.3. For any cornering lamp except those equipped with filament light source(s), the luminous intensities, measured after one minute and after 10 minutes of operation, shall comply with the minimum and maximum requirements. The luminous intensity distributions after one and after 10 minutes of operation shall be calculated from the luminous intensity distribution measured after photometric stability has occurred by applying at each test point the ratio of luminous intensities measured at 45°L 2.5°D for a left-side lamp (the L angle should be substituted for the R angle for a right-side lamp): a0c0
... (a) After one minute; a0c0
... (b) After 10 minutes; and a0c0

A5  Aiming procedure, instrumental verification of the "cut-off" for asymmetric passing-beams a0c0
A5 1. Visual aiming procedure a0c0
A5 1.1. The luminous intensity distribution of a principal passing-beam headlamp or of at least one lighting unit for a class C passing beam of an AFS in its neutral state shall incorporate a "cut-off" (see Figure A5-I), which enables the headlamp to be adjusted correctly for the photometric measurements and for the aiming on the vehicle. a0c0
A5  The "cut-off" shall provide: a0c0
A5  (a) For right hand traffic beams: a0c0
A5  (i) A straight "horizontal part" towards the left; a0c0
A5  (ii) A raised "elbow - shoulder" part towards the right. a0c0
A5  (b) For left hand traffic beams: a0c0
A5  (i) A straight "horizontal part" towards the right; a0c0
A5  (ii) A raised "elbow - shoulder" part towards the left. a0c0
A5  In each case the "elbow-shoulder" part shall have a sharp edge. a0c0
A5 1.2. The headlamp or AFS shall be visually aimed by means of the "cut-off" (see Figure A5-I) as follows. The aiming shall be carried out using a flat vertical screen set up at a distance of 10 m or 25 m (as indicated in item 9 of Annex 1) forward of the headlamp or AFS and at right angles to the H-V axis as shown in Annex 4. The screen shall be sufficiently wide to allow examination and adjustment of the "cut-off" of the passing-beam over at least 5° on either side of the V-V line. a0c0
A5 1.2.1. For vertical adjustment: the horizontal part of the "cut-off" is moved upward from below line B and adjusted to its nominal position one per cent (0.57 degrees) below the H-H line; a0c0
A5  Figure A5-I a0c0
A5  Visual aiming of the cut-off a0c0
A5  a0c0
A5  Note: The scales are different for vertical and horizontal lines. a0c0
A5 1.2.2. For horizontal adjustment: the "elbow - shoulder" part of the "cut-off" shall be moved: a0c0
A5  For right hand traffic from right to left and shall be horizontally positioned after its movement so that: a0c0
A5  (a) Above the line 0.2° D its "shoulder" shall not exceed the line A to the left; a0c0
A5  (b) The line 0.2° D or below its "shoulder" should cross the line A; and a0c0
A5  (c) The kink of the "elbow" is basically located within ± 0.5 degrees to the left or right of the V-V line; a0c0
A5  or a0c0
A5  For left hand traffic from left to right and shall be horizontally positioned after its movement so that: a0c0
A5  (a) Above the line 0.2° D its "shoulder" shall not exceed the line A to the right; a0c0
A5  (b) On the line 0.2° or below its "shoulder" cross the line A; and a0c0
A5  (c) The kink of the "elbow" should be primarily on the V-V line; a0c0
A5 1.2.3. Where a headlamp or AFS so aimed does not meet the requirements set out in paragraphs this Regulation 5.2. to 5.4. of this Regulation respectively, its alignment may be changed, provided that the axis of the beam is not displaced: a0c0
A5  Horizontally from line A by more than: a0c0
A5  (a) 0.5° to the left or 0.75° to the right, for right hand traffic; or a0c0
A5  (b) 0.5° to the right or 0.75° to the left, for left hand traffic; and a0c0
A5  Vertically not more than 0.25° up or down from line B. a0c0
A5 1.2.4. If, however, vertical adjustment cannot be performed repeatedly to the required position within the tolerances described in paragraph 1.2.3., the instrumental method of paragraph 2. shall be applied to test compliance with the required minimum quality of the "cut-off" and to perform the vertical and horizontal adjustment of the beam. a0c0
A5 1.2.5. When so aimed, a headlamp, if its approval is sought solely for provision of a passing-beam[9], need comply only with the requirements set out in paragraphs 5.2. to 5.4. of this Regulation; if it is intended to provide both a passing-beam and a driving-beam, it shall comply with the requirements set out in paragraphs 5.1. to 5.4. of this Regulation. a0c0
A5 2. Instrumental verification of the "cut-off" line for asymmetric passing-beams a0c0
A5 2.1. General a0c0
A5  In the case where paragraph 1.2.4. applies, the quality of the "cut-off" line shall be tested according to the requirements set out in paragraph 2.2. and the instrumental vertical and horizontal adjustment of the beam shall be performed according to the requirements set out in paragraph 2.3. a0c0
A5  Before carrying out the measurement of the quality of "cut-off", and the instrumental aiming procedure, a visual pre-aim in accordance with paragraphs 1.2.1. and 1.2.2. is required. a0c0
A5 2.2. Measurement of the quality of the "cut-off" a0c0
A5  To determine the minimum sharpness, measurements shall be performed by vertically scanning through the horizontal part of the "cut-off" in angular steps of 0.05° at either a measurement distance of: a0c0
A5  (a) 10 m with a detector having a diameter of approximately 10 mm; or a0c0
A5  (b) 25 m with a detector having a diameter of approximately 30 mm. a0c0
A5  The measuring distance at which the test was carried out shall be recorded in item 9. of the communication form (see Annex 1 to this Regulation). a0c0
A5  To determine the maximum sharpness, measurements shall be performed by vertically scanning through the horizontal part of the "cut-off" in angular steps of 0.05° exclusively at a measurement distance of 25 m and with a detector having a diameter of approximately 30 mm. a0c0
A5  The "cut-off" quality shall be considered acceptable if the requirements of paragraphs 2.2.1. to 2.2.3. comply with at least one set of measurements. a0c0
A5 2.2.1. Not more than one "cut-off" shall be visible[1] a0c0
A5 2.2.2. Sharpness of "cut-off" a0c0
A5  The sharpness factor G is determined by scanning vertically through the horizontal part of the "cut-off" at 2.5° from the V-V where: a0c0
A5  G = (log Eβ - log E(β + 0.1°)) where β = the vertical position in degrees and E = the illumination on the aiming screen. a0c0
A5  The value of G shall not be less than 0.13 (minimum sharpness) and not greater than 0.40 (maximum sharpness). a0c0
A5 2.2.3. Linearity a0c0
A5  The part of the horizontal "cut-off" that serves for vertical adjustment shall be horizontal between 1.5° and 3.5° from the V-V line (see Figure A5-II). a0c0
A5  The inflection points of the "cut-off" gradient at the vertical lines at 1.5°, 2.5° and 3.5° shall be determined by the equation: a0c0
A5  The maximum vertical distance between the inflection points determined shall not exceed 0.2°. a0c0
A5  (d2 (log E) / dβ2 = 0). a0c0

A5  (a) The "0.2 D line" method (see Figure A5-III). a0c0
A5  A single horizontal line at 0.2° D shall be scanned from 5° left to 5° right after the lamp has been aimed vertically. The maximum gradient "G" determined using the formula G = (log Eβ - log E(β + 0.1°)) where β is the horizontal position in degrees, shall not be less than 0.08. a0c0

A6 3. Adjustment of the symmetrical passing-beam headlamp and front fog lamp. a0c0
A6 3.1. Horizontal adjustment: the cut-off line shall be so positioned that the projected beam pattern appears approximately symmetrical to the V-V line. When the front fog lamp is designed for use in pairs or has otherwise an asymmetric beam pattern, it shall be horizontally aligned according to the specification of the applicant, or otherwise in such a way that the cut-off line appears symmetrical to the V-V line. a0c0
A6 3.2. Vertical adjustment: after horizontal adjustment of the lamp according to paragraph 3.1., the vertical adjustment shall be performed in such a way that the beam with its "cut-off" line is moved upwards from the lower position until the "cut-off" line is situated at nominal vertical position. For nominal vertical adjustment the "cut-off" line is positioned on the V-V line a0c0
A6  (a) At 0.57 degree (1 per cent) below the h-h line for symmetrical headlamps of the Classes AS, BS, CS, DS and ES; a0c0
A6  (b) At 1 degree below the h-h line for front fog lamps. a0c0

A6  (b) 0.3° for Classes AS, CS, DS and ES headlamps; a0c0
A6  the horizontal part of the "cut-off" line is assumed not to provide sufficient linearity or sharpness for performing visual adjustment. In this case the quality of "cut-off" shall be tested instrumentally for compliance with requirements as follows. a0c0
A6 4. Measurement of the quality of "cut-off" a0c0
A6 4.1. Measurements shall be performed by vertically scanning through the horizontal part of the "cut-off" line in angular steps not exceeding 0.05°: a0c0

A6  (b) Or at a measurement distance of 25 m and a detector with a diameter of approximately 30 mm. a0c0
A6  The measurement of the "cut-off" quality shall be considered acceptable if the requirements of the paragraph 4.1.1. to 4.1.3. comply with at least one measurement at 10 m or 25 m. a0c0
A6  The measuring distance at which the test was determined shall be noted down in the communication form according to Annex 1, paragraph 9.2.6. a0c0

A6  (b) - 2.5° and + 2.5° from the V-V line for front fog lamps. a0c0
A6  When so measured, the quality of the "cut-off" line shall meet the following requirements: a0c0
A6 4.1.1. Not more than one "cut-off" line shall be visible[1]. a0c0
A6 4.1.2. Sharpness of "cut-off": if scanned vertically through the horizontal part of the "cut-off" line along the ± 2.5 -lines, the maximum value measured for: a0c0
A6  G = (log Eβ - log E(β+ 0.1°) ) a0c0
A6  is called the sharpness factor G of the "cut-off" line. The value of G shall not be less than: a0c0
A6  (a) 0.13 for Class BS headlamps; a0c0
A6  (b) 0.08 for Classes AS, CS, DS, ES headlamps and front fog lamps. a0c0
A6 4.1.3. Linearity: the part of the "cut-off" line which serves for vertical adjustment shall be horizontal from 3°L to 3°R of the V-V line. This requirement is deemed to be met if the vertical positions of the inflection points according to paragraph 3.2. above at 3° left and right of the V-V line do not differ by more than: a0c0
A6  (a) 0.2° for Class BS headlamps and front fog lamps; a0c0
A6  (b) 0.3° for Classes AS, CS, DS and ES headlamps; a0c0
A6  from the nominal position at the V-V line. a0c0
A6 5. Instrumental vertical adjustment a0c0
A6  If the "cut-off" line complies with the above quality requirements, the vertical beam adjustment can be performed instrumentally. For this purpose the inflection point where d2 (log E) / dv2 = 0 is positioned on the V-V line in its nominal position below the h-h-line. The movement for measuring and adjusting the "cut-off" line shall be upwards from below the nominal position. a0c0
