If different types of headlamps comprise the same main body, the latter may bear the different approval marks.
4.3.3.2. Annex 5, Figure11 , to this Regulation gives examples of approval marks relating to the above case.
5. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
5.1. Each sample shall conform to the specifications set forth in Paragraphs 6 and 7 below.
5.2. Headlamps shall be so made as to retain their prescribed photometric characteristics and to remain in good working order when in normal use, in spite of the vibrations to which they may be subjected.
5.3. Headlamps shall be fitted with a device enabling them to be so adjusted on the vehicle as to comply with the rules applicable to them. Such a device need not be fitted on components in which the reflector and the diffusing lens cannot be separated provided the use of such units is confined to vehicles on which the headlamps setting can be adjusted by other means. Where a headlamp providing a driving beam and a headlamp providing a passing beam, each equipped with its own filament lamp, are assembled to form a composite unit, the adjusting device shall enable each optical system individually to be duly adjusted.
However, this shall not apply to headlamps assemblies whose reflectors are indivisible. For this type of assembly, the requirements of Paragraph 6 shall apply.
5.4. The components by which the filament lamp is fixed to the reflector shall be so made that, even in darkness, the filament lamp can be fixed in no position but the correct one. The filament lamp-holder shall conform to the dimensional characteristics as given in the following data sheets of IEC Publication 61-2:
5.5. Headlamps designed to satisfy the requirements both of countries in which traffic moves on the right and of those in which it moves on the left may be adapted for traffic on a given side of the road either by an appropriate initial adjustment when the vehicle is fitted out or by selective setting by the driver. Such initial adjustment or selective setting shall consist, for example, of fixing either the optical unit at a given angle on the vehicle or the filament lamp at a given angle in relation to the optical unit. In all cases, only two precisely differentiated setting positions, one for right-hand and one for left-hand traffic, shall be possible, and the design shall preclude inadvertent shifting of the headlamp from one position to another or its setting in an intermediate position. Where two different setting positions are provided for the filament lamp, the components attaching the filament lamp to the reflector must be so designed and manufactured that, in each of its two settings, the filament lamp will be held in position with the precision required for headlamps intended for traffic on only one side of the road.
5.6. Complementary tests shall be done according to the requirements of Annex 4 to ensure that in use there is no excessive change in photometric performance.
5.7. Conformity with the requirements of Paragraphs 5.2 to 5.5 shall be verified visually and, where necessary, by a test fitting.
5.8 If the lens of the headlamp is of plastic material, tests shall be done according to the requirements of Annex 7.
6. ILLUMINATION
6.1. Headlamps shall be so made that with suitable R2 and/or HS1 filament lamp(s) they provide adequate illumination without dazzle in the case of passing beam and good illumination in the case of the driving beam.
6.1.1. The illumination produced by the headlamp shall be checked on a vertical screen set at a distance of 25 m in front of the headlamp and at right angles to its axis (see annex 6).
6.1.2. The headlamp shall be checked by means of (a) standard (etalon) filament lamp(s) designed for a rated voltage of 12 V, any selective-yellow filters 6/ being replaced by geometrically identical uncoloured filters with a transmission factor of at least 80%. During the checking of the headlamp the voltage at the terminals of the filament lamp shall be regulated so as to obtain the following characteristics:
6.1.3. The dimensions determining the position of the filament(s) and the shield inside the standard filament lamp are shown on the relevant data sheet of Regulation No. 37.
6.1.4. The bulb of the standard filament lamp shall be of such optical shape and quality that it does not cause any reflection or refraction adversely affecting the light distribution. Compliance with this requirement shall be checked by measuring the light distribution obtained when a standard headlamp is fitted with the standard (etalon) filament lamp.
6.2. The passing beam must produce a sufficiently sharp "cut-off" to permit satisfactory adjustment with its aid. The "cut-off" must be a horizontal straight line on the side opposite to the direction of the traffic for which the headlamp is intended; on the other side it should be horizontal or within an angle of 15 degrees above the horizontal. The headlamp shall be so adjusted that:
6.2.1. In the case of headlamps designed to meet the requirements of right-hand traffic, the "cut-off" on the left half of the screen7/ is horizontal and, in the case of headlamps designed to meet the requirements of left-hand traffic, the "cut-off" on the right half of the screen is horizontal;
6.2.2. This horizontal part of the "cut-off" is situated on the screen 25 cm below the outline of the horizontal plane passing through the focus of the headlamp (See Annex 6 to this Regulation);
6.2.3. The screen is in the position indicated in Annex 68/.
When so adjusted, the headlamp shall, if it is intended to provide a passing beam and a driving beam, comply with the requirements referred to in Paragraphs 6.3 and 6.4 below. If it is intended primarily to provide a passing beam, it need comply only with the requirements referred to in Paragraph 6.39/.
Where a headlamp so adjusted does not meet the requirements referred to in Paragraphs 6.3 and 6.4, its adjustment may be changed, provided that the axis of the beam or the point of intersection HV specified Annex 6 to this Regulation is not laterally displaced by more than 1 degrees (= 44 cm) to the right or left10/. To facilitate adjustment by means of the "cut-off", the headlamp may be partially occulted in order to sharpen the "cut-off".
If the headlamp is designed solely to provide a driving beam, it shall be so adjusted that the area of maximum illumination is centred on the point of intersection of the lines hh and vv. Such a headlamp need meet only the requirements referred to in Paragraph 6.5.
If, in the case of a headlamp designed to satisfy the requirements of this Regulation with respect to the passing beam only, the focal axis diverges appreciably from the general direction of the beam, lateral adjustment shall be effected to the manner which best satisfies the requirements for illumination at points 75 and 50.
The limit of non-adjustment of 1? to the right or left is not incompatible with vertical non-adjustment. The latter is limited only by the requirements of Paragraph 6.4.
6.3. The illumination produced on the screen by the passing beam shall meet the requirements of the following Table11/:
It is understood that, where the flux of the standard filament lamp used for measurement is other than 450 lumens, the measurements as taken will be corrected proportionally to the rates of the fluxes. There shall be no lateral variations detrimental to good visibility in any of the zones, I, II, III and IV.
Headlamps designed to meet the requirements of both right-hand and left-hand traffic must, in each of the two setting positions of the optical unit or of the filament lamp, meet the requirements set forth above for the corresponding traffic system.
6.4. The illumination values in zones "A" and "B" */ as shown in Figure PIC in Annex 6 shall be checked by the measurement of the photometric values of points 1 to 8 on this Figure; these values shall lie within the following limits:
1 + 2 + 3 > 0.3 lux, and 4 + 5 + 6 > 0.6 lux, and 0.7 lux > 7 > 0.1 lux and 0.7 lux > 8 > 0.2 lux
These new values shall not be required for headlamps which have been approved before the application date of Supplement 3 to the 01 series of amendments to this Regulation (2 December 1992) nor to the extensions of such approvals.
6.5. In the case of headlamps with an adjustable reflector the requirements of Paragraphs 6.2 to 6.4 are applicable for each mounting position indicated according to Paragraph 2.1. For verification the following procedure shall be used:
6.5.1. Each applied position is realized on the test goniometer with respect to a line joining the centre of the light source and point HV on the aiming screen. The adjustable reflector is then moved into such a position that the light pattern on the screen corresponds to the aiming prescriptions of Paragraphs 6.1, 6.2 and/or 6.4;
6.5.2. With the reflector initially fixed according to Paragraph 6.5.1, the headlamp must meet the relevant photometric requirements of Paragraphs 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4;
6.5.3. Additional tests are made after the reflector has been moved vertically +/- 2 degrees or at least into the maximum position, if less than 2 degrees , from its initial position by means of the headlamps adjusting device. Having re-aimed the headlamp as a whole (by means of the goniometer for example) in the corresponding opposite direction the light output in the following directions shall be controlled and lie within the required limits: passing beam: points HV and 75R (75L respectively);
driving beam: points HV (percentage of Emax).
6.5.4. If the applicant has indicated more than one mounting position, the procedure of Paragraphs 6.5.1 to 6.5.3 shall be repeated for all the other positions;
6.5.5. If the applicant has not asked for special mounting positions, the headlamp shall be aimed for measurements of Paragraphs 6.2 to 6.4 with the headlamps adjusting device in its mean position. The additional tests of Paragraph 6.5.3 shall be made with the reflector moved into its extreme positions (instead of +/- 2 degrees ) by means of the headlamps adjusting device.
6.6. Measurements of the illumination produced on the screen by the driving beam shall be taken with the same headlamp adjustment as for measurements under 6.3 above, or, in the case of a headlamp providing a driving beam only, in accordance with the final Paragraph of 6.2. In the case where more than one light source is used to provide the main beam, the combined functions shall be used to determine the maximum value of the illumination (Emax).
The illumination produced on the screen by the driving beam shall meet the following requirements:
The point of intersection HV of the lines hh and vv shall be situated within the isolux 90% of maximum illumination. This maximum value shall not less than 32 lux. Starting from point of intersection HV, horizontally to the right and left, illumination shall be not less than 16 lux up to a distance of 1.125 m and not less than 4 lux up to a distance of 2.25 m. (Where the flux of the standard filament lamp used for measurements is other than 700 lumens, the measurements as taken must be corrected proportionally to the ratio of the fluxes.)
6.7. The screen illumination values mentioned under 6.3 and 6.5 above shall be measured by means of a photo-electric cell, the useful area of which shall be contained within a square of 65 mm side.
7. GAUGING OF DISCOMFORT

4/ Requirements for HSB units with a rated voltage of 24 volts are under consideration.
5/ All photometric measurements shall be made at the rated voltage specified in paragraph 7.1.
6/ If, in the case of an HSB unit designed to meet the requirements of this Regulation in respect of the passing beam only, the focal axis diverges appreciably from the general direction of the beam, lateral adjustment shall be effected in the manner which best satisfies the requirements for illumination at points 75 R and 50 R for right-hand traffic and 75 L and 50 L for left-hand traffic.
7/ The test screen shall be wide enough to allow examination of the "cut-off" over a range of at least 5 degrees on either side of the line vv.
8/ If the beam does not have a "cut-off" with a clear "elbow", lateral adjustment shall be effected in the manner which best satisfies the requirements for illumination at points 75 R and 50 R for right-hand traffic and 75 L and 50 L for left-hand traffic.
9/ An HSB unit designed to emit a passing beam may incorporate a driving beam not subject to this specification.
10/ The limit of realignment of 1 degrees to the right or left is not incompatible with vertical realignment upward or downward. The latter is limited only by the requirements of paragraph 8.3. However, the horizontal part of the "cut-off" should not extend beyond the line hh (the provisions of paragraph 8.3. are not applicable to HSB units intended to meet the requirements of this Regulation only for provision of a passing beam).
11/ Notwithstanding the provisions of article 3 of the 1958 Agreement concerning the Adoption of Uniform Conditions of Approval and Reciprocal Recognition of Approval for Motor Vehicle Equipment and Parts, the approval of an HSB unit under this Regulation shall not prevent the Contracting Parties to the Agreement applying this Regulation from prohibiting, on vehicles registered in their territory, the use of HSB units emitting a beam of either white or selective yellow light.

10/ See the corresponding footnote in the text of the Regulation.
1/ When the driving beam is reciprocally incorporated with the passing beam, HV in the case of the driving beam shall be the same measuring point as in the case of the passing beam.
2/ HL and HR: points on "hh" located at 1.125 m to the left and to the right of point HV respectively.
1/ Should two filaments be simultaneously lit when headlamp flashing is used, this shall not be considered as being normal use of both filaments simultaneously.
2/ When the tested headlamp is grouped and/or reciprocally incorporated with signalling lamps, the latter shall be lit for the duration of the test. In the case of a direction indicator lamp, it shall be lit in flashing operation mode with an on/off time ratio of approximately one to one.
3/ NaCMC represents the sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose, customarily referred to as CMC. The NaCMC used in the dirt mixture shall have a degree of substitution (DS) of 0.6-0.7 and a viscosity of 200-300 cP for a 2% solution at 20 degrees C.
4/ The tolerance on quantity is due to the necessity of obtaining a dirt that correctly spreads out on all the plastic lens.
5/ 50 V is situated 375 mm below HV on the vertical line v-v ont he screen at 25 m distance.
1/ For L2 it is recommended to use a focal distance of about 80 mm.
