COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 27 July 1976
►M3 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to motor vehicle headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamps and to light sources (filament lamps and others) for use in approved lamp units of motor vehicles and of their trailers ◄
(76/761/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament ( 1 ),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee ( 2 ),
Whereas the technical requirements which motor vehicles must satisfy pursuant to national laws relate inter alia to headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamps and their filament lamps;
Whereas these requirements differ from one Member State to another; whereas it is therefore necessary that all Member States adopt the same requirements either in addition to or in place of their existing rules, in order, in particular, to allow the EEC type-approval procedure which was the subject of Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers ( 3 ), to be introduced in respect of each type of vehicle;
Whereas in Directive 76/756/EEC ( 4 ), the Council laid down the common requirements for the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on motor vehicles and their trailers;
Whereas a harmonized type-approval procedure for headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamps and their filament lamps makes it possible for each Member State to check compliance with the common construction and testing requirements and to inform the other Member States of its findings by sending a copy of the component type-approval certificate completed for each type of such headlamp or filament lamp; whereas the placing of an EEC component type-approval mark on all headlamp devices manufactured in conformity with the approved type obviates any need for technical checks on these headlamp devices in the other Member States;
Whereas it is desirable to take into account the technical requirements adopted by the UN Economic Commission for Europe in its Regulations No 1 (‘Uniform provisions for the approval of motor vehicle headlights emitting an asymmetrical passing beam or a driving beam or both’) ( 5 ) and No 2 (‘Uniform provisions concerning approval of incandescent electrical lamps for headlights emitting an asymmetrical passing beam or a driving beam or both’) (5) , which are annexed to the Agreement of 20 March 1958 concerning the adoption of uniform conditions for approval and reciprocal recognition of approval for motor vehicles equipment and parts;
Whereas the approximation of national laws relating to motor vehicles entails reciprocal recognition by Member States of the checks carried out by each of them on the basis of the common requirements,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1

( 6 ) In the case of headlamps designed to meet the requirements of traffic moving on one side of the road only (either right or left) it is further recommended that the area which can be occulted to prevent discomfort to users in a country where traffic moves on the side of the road opposite to that of the country for which the headlamp was designed should be outlined indelibly on the front lens and explained in the maintenance book of the vehicles. This marking is not necessary, however where the area is clearly apparent from the design.
( 7 ) If the lens cannot be separated from the main body of the headlamp, the provision of a marking area on the lens will suffice.
