8
 E/ECE/324/Rev.1/Add.86/Rev.3
E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.1/Add.86/Rev.3

6.5.2. The design of the device shall be such that the light source can be fixed in no
other position but the correct one.
6.5.3. The light source holder shall conform to the characteristics given in IEC
Publication 60061. The holder data sheet relevant to the category of light
source used, applies.

7. Intensity of light
7.1. The luminous intensity of the light emitted by each lamp shall not be less
than 400 cd in the axis of reference.
7.2. Outside the reference axis and within the angular fields defined in the
arrangement diagram in Annex 6 to this Regulation, the intensity of the light
emitted by each lamp must:
7.2.1. In each direction corresponding to the points in the table of standard light
distribution reproduced in Annex 3 to this Regulation, be not less than the
minimum specified in paragraph 7.1. above, multiplied by the percentage
specified in the said table of the direction in question, and
7.2.2. Not exceed 1,200 cd in any direction the lamp is visible.
7.3. Moreover, throughout the field defined in the diagram in Annex 6, the
intensity of the light emitted must not be less than 1.0 cd.
7.4. 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 and when all light sources are illuminated the maximum intensity shall
not be exceeded.
A group of light sources, wired so that the failure of any one of them causes
all of them to stop emitting light, shall be considered to be one light source.

8. Apparent surface
The area of the apparent surface in the direction of the axis of reference of the
lamp shall be not less than 25 cm² and not more than 200 cm².

9. Colour of light
The colour of the light shall be white. It shall be measured under the
conditions as prescribed in paragraph 10. below.

10. Test procedure

10.1. All measurements, photometric and colorimetric, when not supplied by an
electronic light source control gear, 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;

9
E/ECE/324/Rev.1/Add.86/Rev.3
E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.1/Add.86/Rev.3

(b) In the case of LED light sources of 6.75 V, 13.5 V or 28.0 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.
10.2. In the case of a system that uses an electronic light source control gear being
part of the lamp3, all measurements, photometric and colorimetric, shall be
made applying at the input terminals of the lamp a voltage of 6.75 V, 13.5 V
or 28.0 V respectively.
10.3. 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. The test laboratory shall require
from the manufacturer the light source control gear needed to supply the light
source and the applicable functions.
The voltage to be applied to the lamp shall be noted in the communication
form in Annex 1 of this Regulation.
10.4. For any lamp except those equipped with filament lamps, 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.
10.5. The limits of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of a
light-signalling device shall be determined.

11. Heat resistance test

11.1. The lamp shall be subjected to a one-hour test of continuous operation
following a warm-up period of 20 minutes. The ambient temperature shall be
23 °C + 5 °C. The light source used shall be a light source of the category
specified for the lamp, and shall be supplied with a current at a voltage such
that it gives the specified average power at the corresponding test voltage.
However, for lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament
lamps and other), the test shall be made with the light sources present in the
lamp, in accordance with paragraph 10.2. of this Regulation.
11.2. Where only the maximum power is specified, the test shall be carried out by
regulating the voltage to obtain a power equal to 90 per cent of the specified
power. The specified average or maximum power referred to above shall in
all cases be chosen from the voltage range of 6, 12 or 24 V at which it
reaches the highest value; for lamps equipped with non-replaceable light
sources (filament lamps and other) the test conditions set in paragraph 10.2.
of this Regulation shall be applied.
11.3. After the lamp has been stabilized at the ambient temperature, no distortion,
deformation, cracking or colour modification shall be perceptible. In case of

3
For the purpose of this Regulation, "being part of the lamp" means to be physically included in the
lamp body or to be external, separated or not, from the lamp body but supplied by the lamp
manufacturer as part of the lamp system.

 E/ECE/324/Rev.1/Add.86/Rev.3
E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.1/Add.86/Rev.3

doubt the intensity of light according to paragraph 7. above shall be

measured. At that measurement the values shall reach at least 90 per cent of
the values obtained before the heat resistance test on the same device.

12. Modifications of a type of daytime running lamp

and extension of approval
12.1. Every modification of the type of lamp shall be notified to the Type Approval
Authorities which approved the type of lamp. The Type Approval Authority
may then either:
12.1.1. Consider that the modifications made are unlikely to have an appreciable
adverse effect and that in any case the lamp still complies with the
requirements; or
12.1.2. Require a further test report from the Technical Service responsible for
conducting the tests.
12.2. Confirmation or refusal of approval, specifying the alterations shall be
communicated by the procedure specified in paragraph 5.1.4. above to the
Parties to the Agreement applying this Regulation.
12.3. The Type Approval Authority issuing the extension of approval shall assign a
series number for such an extension and inform thereof the other Parties to
the Agreement applying this Regulation by means of a communication form
conforming to the model in Annex 1 to this Regulation.

13. 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:
13.1. Lamps approved under this Regulation shall be so manufactured as to
conform to the type approved by meeting the requirements set forth in
paragraphs 6., 7., 8. and 9. above.
13.2. The minimum requirements for conformity of production control procedures
set forth in Annex 4 to this Regulation shall be complied with.
13.3. The minimum requirements for sampling by an inspector set forth in Annex 5
to this Regulation shall be complied with.
13.4. 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.

14. Penalties for non-conformity of production

14.1. The approval granted in respect of a type of daytime running lamp pursuant
to this Regulation may be withdrawn if the requirements are not complied
with or if a daytime running lamp bearing the approval mark does not
conform to the type approved.

11
E/ECE/324/Rev.1/Add.86/Rev.3
E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.1/Add.86/Rev.3

14.2. If a 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 1 to this Regulation.

15. Production definitively discontinued

If the holder of the approval completely ceases to manufacture a type of
daytime running lamp approved in accordance with this Regulation, he shall
so inform the Type Approval Authority which granted the approval. Upon
receiving the relevant communication, that Authority shall inform thereof the
other Parties to the Agreement applying this Regulation by means of a

Lamp reciprocally incorporated with a headlamp

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 daytime running lamp approved in accordance with Regulation No. 87 in its
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 01 series of amendments,
which is reciprocally incorporated with
the same daytime running lamp as above;
or even: either of the above-mentioned headlamps approved as a single lamp.

Annex 3

Photometric measurements
1. When photometric measurements are taken, stray reflections shall be avoided
by appropriate masking.
2. In the event that the results of measurements are challenged, measurements
shall be taken in such way as to meet the following requirements:
2.1. The distance of measurement shall be such that the law of the inverse of the
square of the distance is applicable:
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°:
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.
3. In the case where the daytime running lamp 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
in the field of the reference axis specified by the manufacturer.
4. Photometric measurement of lamps
The photometric performance shall be checked:
4.1. For non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps or other):
With the light sources present in the lamp, in accordance with paragraph 10.
of this Regulation.
4.2. 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.
4.3. For any daytime running 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

18
 E/ECE/324/Rev.1/Add.86/Rev.5
E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.1/Add.45/Rev.4
Annex 3

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.

5.1. The direction H = 0° and V = 0° corresponds to the reference axis. (On the
vehicle, it is horizontal, parallel to the median longitudinal plane of the
vehicle and oriented in the required direction of visibility). It passes through
the centre of reference. The values shown in the table give, for the various
directions of measurement, the minimum intensities as a percentage of the
minimum required in the axis for each lamp (in the direction H = 0° and
V = 0°).
5.2. Within the field of light distribution of paragraph 3. above schematically
shown as a grid, the light pattern should be substantially uniform, i.e. in so
far as the light intensity in each direction of a part of the field formed by the
gird lines shall meet at least the lowest minimum value being shown on the
gird lines surrounding the questioned direction as a percentage.

Minimum requirements for conformity of production control

procedures
1. General
1.1. The conformity requirements shall be considered satisfied from a mechanical
and geometric standpoint, if the differences do not exceed inevitable
manufacturing deviations within the requirements of this Regulation.
1.2. With respect to photometric performances, the conformity of mass-produced
lamps shall not be contested if, when testing photometric performances of
any lamp chosen at random and equipped with a standard light source, or
when the lamps are equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament
lamps or other), and when all measurements are made at 6.75 V, 13.5 V or
28.0 V respectively:
1.2.1. No measured value deviates unfavourably by more than 20 per cent from the
values prescribed in this Regulation.
1.2.2. If, in the case of a lamp equipped with a replaceable light source and if
results of the test described above do not meet the requirements, tests on
lamps shall be repeated using another standard light source.
1.3. The chromaticity coordinates shall be complied with when the lamp is
equipped with a standard light source, or for lamps equipped with non-
replaceable light sources (filament lamps or other), when the colorimetric
characteristics are verified with the light source present in the lamp.
2. Minimum requirements for verification of conformity by the manufacturer
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.
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.

The sampled lamp shall be subjected to photometric measurements for the
minimum values at the points listed in Annex 3 to this Regulation 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 13.1. 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 5 (first sampling) would be 0.95.
