1. SUPPLEMENTARY GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
   1. Additional lamps
      1. In addition to the lamps specified in paragraph 5.16 of Appendix A, vehicles may be equipped with those lamps specified in part 9 of this standard.
      2. Where the installation of equipment or accessories for operational reasons invalidates the compliance of lamps originally fitted in accordance with this vehicle standard, additional lamp must be fitted to maintain compliance.
         1. Where additional lamps referred to in 8.1.2 above are fitted on TD (O4) category trailers and are front position lamps or front retro-reflectors and the construction (the shape of the bodywork with equipment or accessories) makes it impossible to comply with the requirements of paragraphs 6.9.4.1 or 6.16.4.1 of Appendix A, the lamps need only be fitted as close as possible to the prescribed width limitation; and
            1. In the case of front retro-reflectors, may be fitted to the equipment or accessories and if so may be either a device or material.
      3. Where the installation of equipment or accessories for operational reasons on TD (O4) category trailers would otherwise cause the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of front position lamps or front retro-reflectors to be completely and permanently hidden, such lamps need not be fitted. In this case, the additional lamps referred to in 8.1.2.1 above must be fitted instead.
      4. Additional direction indicator, hazard warning, stop, parking, end outline marker, rear and front position lamps and rear, front and side retro reflectors may be fitted to satisfy specific safety and operational requirements. These additional lamps shall be fitted as close as possible to the maximum height of the vehicle.
      5. Where additional lamps referred to in 8.1.4 above are fitted, the maximum height as specified in Appendix A for direction indicator lamps, stop lamps, parking lamps, end outline marker, rear and front position lamps and rear, front and side reflectors do not apply.
      6. In addition to the main-beam headlamps in paragraph 6.1 of Appendix A, driving lamp(s) up to a maximum of four may be installed, in which case the requirements of clause 9.3 of this standard must be met.
   2. Table 1 lists the colours and the relevant component lighting standards applicable for each type of lamp.
