A3 1. | When photometric measurements are taken, stray reflexions shall be avoided by appropriate masking. | a0c0 | ||
A3 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: | a0c0 | ||
A3 2.1. | The distance of measurement shall be such that the law of the inverse of the square of the distance is applicable; | a0c0 | ||
A3 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°; |
a0c0 | ||
A3 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. | a0c0 | ||
A3 3. | In the case where the device may be installed on the vehicle in more than one or in a field of different positions the photometric measurements shall be repeated for each position or for the extreme positions of the field of the reference axis specified by the manufacturer. | a0c0 | ||
A3 4. |
If visual examination of a light appears to reveal substantial local variations of intensity, a check shall be made to ensure that, outside the axes, no intensity measured within the rhombus defined by the extreme directions of measurement is below 75 cd (see diagram below). |

A3 5. | Photometric measurement of lamps equipped with several light sources | a0c0 | ||
A3 | The photometric performance shall be checked: | a0c0 | ||
A3 5.1. | For non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps and other): | a0c0 | ||
A3 |
With the light sources present in the lamp, in accordance with paragraph 7.1. of this Regulation. |
a0c0 | ||
A3 5.2. | For replaceable light source(s): | a0c0 | ||
A3 |
When equipped with light source(s) at 6.75V, 13.5V or 28.0V, 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 (6.75V, 13.5V or 28.0V). When equipped with LED light source(s) at 6.75V, 13.5V or 28.0V; the luminous flux value produced shall be corrected. The correction factor is the ratio between the objective luminous flux and the value of the luminous flux found at the voltage applied. |
a0c0 | ||
A3 |
The actual luminous fluxes of each light source used shall not deviate more than 5 per cent from the mean value. |
a0c0 | ||
A4 | 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. | a0c0 | ||

A4 | 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. | a0c0 | ||
A4 | 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. | a0c0 | ||
A4 2.1. | Nature of tests | a0c0 | ||
A4 | Tests of conformity in this Regulation shall cover the photometric and colorimetric characteristics. | a0c0 | ||
A4 2.2. | Methods used in tests | a0c0 | ||
A4 2.2.1. | Tests shall generally be carried out in accordance with the methods set out in this Regulation. | a0c0 | ||
A4 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. | a0c0 | ||
A4 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. | a0c0 | ||
A4 2.2.4. | In all cases the reference methods shall be those of this Regulation, particularly for the purpose of administrative verification and sampling. | a0c0 | ||
A4 2.3. | Nature of sampling | a0c0 | ||
A4 | 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. | a0c0 | ||
A4 | 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. | a0c0 | ||
A4 2.4. | Measured and recorded photometric characteristics | a0c0 | ||
A4 |
The sampled lamp shall be subjected to photometric measurements for the minimum values at the points listed in Annex 3 and for the required chromaticity coordinates. |
a0c0 | ||
A4 2.5. | Criteria governing acceptability | a0c0 | ||
A4 |
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 10.1. of this Regulation. |
a0c0 | ||
A4 | 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 5 (first sampling) would be 0.95. | a0c0 | ||
