Annex 6
Measurement of the variation of dipped beam inclination as a function of load
Scope
This annex specifies a method for measuring variations in motor vehicle dipped beam inclination, in relation to its initial inclination, caused by changes in vehicle attitude due to loading.
Definitions
Initial inclination
Stated initial inclination
The value of the dipped beam initial inclination specified by the motor vehicle manufacturer serving as a reference value for the calculation of permissible variations.
Measured initial inclination
The mean value of dipped beam inclination or vehicle inclination measured with the vehicle in condition No. 1, as defined in Annex 5, for the category of vehicle under test. It serves as a reference value for the assessment of variations in beam inclination as the load varies.
Dipped beam inclination
It may be defined as follows:
Either as the angle, expressed in milliradians, between the direction of the beam towards a characteristic point on the horizontal part of the cut off in the luminous distribution of the headlamp and the horizontal plane,
Or by the tangent of that angle, expressed in percentage inclination, since the angles are small (for these small angles, 1 per cent is equal to 10 mrad).
If the inclination is expressed in percentage inclination, it can be calculated by means of the following formula:
start formula start fraction h subscript 1 minus h subscript 2 over L end fraction times 100 end formula
where:
h1 is the height above the ground, in millimetres, of the above mentioned characteristic point, measured on a vertical screen perpendicular to the vehicle longitudinal median plane, placed at a horizontal distance L.
h2 is the height above the ground, in millimetres, of the centre of reference (which is taken to be the nominal origin of the characteristic point chosen in h1):
L is the distance, in millimetres, from the screen to the centre of reference.
Negative values denote downward inclination (see Figure 1).
Positive values denote upward inclination.
Figure 1
Dipped beam downward inclination of a category M1 vehicle
Figure shows the dipped beam inclination of a category M1 vehicle
Notes:
This drawing represents a category M1 vehicle, but the principle shown applies equally to vehicles of other categories.
Where the vehicle does not incorporate a headlamp levelling system, the variation in dipped beam inclination is identical with the variation in the inclination of the vehicle itself.
Measurement conditions
If a visual inspection of the dipped beam pattern on the screen or a photometric method is used, measurement shall be carried out in a dark environment (for example, a dark room) of sufficient area to allow the vehicle and the screen to be placed as shown in Figure 1. Headlamp centres of reference shall be at a distance from the screen of at least 10 m.
The ground on which measurements are made shall be as flat and horizontal as possible, so that the reproducibility of measurements of dipped beam inclination can be assured with an accuracy of 0.5 mrad (±0.05 per cent inclination).
If a screen is used, its marking, position and orientation in relation to the ground and to the median longitudinal plane of the vehicle, shall be such that the reproducibility of the measurement of the dipped beam inclination can be assured with an accuracy of 0.5 mrad (0.05 per cent inclination).
During measurements, the ambient temperature shall be between 10 and 30 °C.
Vehicle preparation
Measurements shall be carried out on a vehicle, which has travelled a distance of between 1,000 km and 10,000 km, preferably 5,000 km.
Tyres shall be inflated to the full load pressure specified by the vehicle manufacturer. The vehicle shall be fully replenished (fuel, water, oil) and equipped with all the accessories and tools specified by the manufacturer. Full fuel replenishment means that the fuel tank shall be filled to not less than 90 per cent of its capacity.
The vehicle shall have the parking brake released and the gearbox in neutral.
The vehicle shall be conditioned for at least 8 h at the temperature specified in paragraph 3.4. above.
If a photometric or visual method is used, headlamps with a well-defined dipped-beam cut off should preferably be installed on the vehicle under test in order to facilitate the measurements. Other means are allowed to obtain a more precise reading (for example, removal of the headlamp lens).
Test procedure
General
The variations in either dipped beam or vehicle inclination, depending on the method chosen, shall be measured separately for each side of the vehicle. The results obtained from both left and right headlamps under all the load conditions specified in Annex 5, shall be within the limits set out in paragraph 5.5. below. The load shall be applied gradually without subjecting the vehicle to excessive shocks.
Where an AFS is fitted, the measurements shall be carried out with the AFS in its neutral state.
Determination of the measured initial inclination
The vehicle shall be prepared as specified in paragraph 4. above and laden as specified in Annex 5 (first loading condition of the respective vehicle category). Before each measurement, the vehicle shall be rocked as specified in paragraph 5.4. below. Measurements shall be made three times.
If none of the three measured results differ by more than 2 mrad (0.2 per cent inclination) from the arithmetic mean of the results, that mean shall constitute the final result.
If any measurement differs from the arithmetic mean of the results by more than 2 mrad (0.2 per cent inclination), a further series of 10 measurements shall be made, the arithmetic mean of which shall constitute the final result.
Measurement methods
Any method may be used to measure variations of inclination provided that the readings are accurate to within ±0.2 mrad (±0.02 per cent inclination).
Treatment of vehicle in each loading condition
The vehicle suspension and any other part likely to affect dipped beam inclination shall be activated according to the methods described below.
However, the technical authorities and manufacturers may jointly propose other methods (either experimental or based upon calculations), especially when the test poses particular problems, provided such calculations are clearly valid.
M1 category vehicles with conventional suspension
With the vehicle standing on the measuring site and, if necessary, with the wheels resting on floating platforms (which shall be used if their absence would lead to restriction of the suspension movement likely to affect the results of measurements), rock the vehicle continuously for at least three complete cycles, for each cycle, first the rear and then the front end of the vehicle is pushed down.
The rocking sequence shall end with the completion of a cycle. Before making the measurements, the vehicle shall be allowed to come to rest spontaneously. Instead of using floating platforms, the same effect can be achieved by moving the vehicle backwards and forwards for at least a complete wheel revolution.
M2, M3 and N category vehicles with conventional suspension
If the treatment method for category M1 vehicles described in paragraph 5.4.1. is not possible, the method described in paragraphs 5.4.2.2. or 5.4.2.3. may be used.
With the vehicle standing on the measuring site and the wheels on the ground, rock the vehicle by temporarily varying the load.
With the vehicle standing on the measuring site and the wheels on the ground, activate the vehicle suspension and all other parts, which may affect the dipped beam inclination by using a vibration rig. This can be a vibrating platform on which the wheels rest.
Vehicles with non-conventional suspension, where the engine has to be running.
Before making any measurement wait until the vehicle has assumed its final attitude with the engine running.
Measurements
The variation of the inclination of the dipped beam shall be assessed for each of the different loading conditions in relation to the measured initial inclination determined in accordance with paragraph 5.2. above.
If the vehicle is fitted with a manual headlamp levelling system, the latter shall be adjusted to the positions specified by the manufacturer for given loading conditions (according to Annex 5).
To begin with, a single measurement shall be made in each loading condition. Requirements have been met if, for all the loading conditions, the variation in inclination is within the calculated limits (for example, within the difference between the stated initial inclination and the lower and upper limits specified for approval) with a safety margin of 4 mrad (0.4 per cent inclination).
If the result(s) of any measurement(s) does (do) not lie within the safety margin indicated in paragraph 5.5.1. or exceed(s) the limit values, a further three measurements shall be made in the loading conditions corresponding to this (these) result(s) as specified in paragraph 5.5.3.
For each of the above loading conditions:
If none of the three measured results differs by more than 2 mrad (0.2 per cent inclination) from the arithmetic mean of the results, that mean shall constitute the final result.
If any measurement differs from the arithmetic mean of the results by more than 2 mrad (0.2 per cent inclination), a further series of 10 measurements shall be made, the arithmetic mean of which shall constitute the final result.
If a vehicle is fitted with an automatic headlamp levelling system which has an inherent hysteresis loop, average results at the top and bottom of the hysteresis loop shall be taken as significant values.
All these measurements shall be made in accordance with paragraphs 5.5.3.1. and 5.5.3.2.
Requirements have been met, if, under all loading conditions, the variation between the measured initial inclination determined in accordance with paragraph 5.2. and the inclination measured under each loading condition is less than the values calculated in paragraph 5.5.1. (without safety margin).
If only one of the calculated upper or lower limits of variation is exceeded, the manufacturer shall be permitted to choose a different value for the stated initial inclination, within the limits specified for approval.

[12] Contracting Parties to the respective regulations can still prohibit the use of mechanical cleaning systems when headlamps with plastic lenses, marked "PL", are installed.
[14] New vehicle types which do not comply with this provision may continue to be approved until 18 months after the entry into force of Supplement 4 to the 03 series of amendments.
[15] The Contracting Parties not applying Regulation No. 87 may prohibit the presence of DRL (as specified in paragraph 5.22.) on the basis of national regulations.
[16] New vehicle types which do not comply with this provision may continue to be approved until 18 months after the entry into force of Supplement 4 to the 03 series of amendments.
[17] In case of additional "two symmetrically placed lighting units" the horizontal distance may be 200 mm (C in the figure).
[18] Traffic directions being separated by means of road construction, or, a corresponding lateral distance of opposing traffic is identified. This implies a reduction of undue glare from vehicles headlamps in opposing traffic.
