UNIFORM PROVISIONS CONCERNING THE APPROVAL OF DEVICES
FOR THE ILLUMINATION OF REAR REGISTRATION PLATES
OF POWER-DRIVEN VEHICLES AND THEIR TRAILERS
0. SCOPE
This Regulation applies to rear registration plate lamps for vehicles of Categories M, N, O, and T (1).
1.DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this Regulation:
1.1."Rear registration plate lamp" means the device for the illumination of rear registration
plates, hereinafter called "illuminating device", which illuminates the rear registration plate by reflection.  For the approval of this device, the illumination of the space to be occupied by the plate is determined.
1.2.The definitions given in Regulation No. 48 and its series of amendments in force at the time of
application for type approval shall apply to this Regulation.
1.3."Rear registration plate lamps of different types" means lamps which differ in such
essential respects as:
a) the trade name or mark;
b) the characteristics of the optical system, (levels of intensity, light distribution angles,
category of filament lamp, light source module, etc.);
c) the angle of incidence of the light on the surface of the plate.
2.APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL
The application for approval shall be submitted by the holder of the trade name or mark or by his duly accredited representative.  It shall specify whether the device is intended to illuminate
a wide plate (520 × 120 mm), tall plate (340 × 240 mm), plate for agricultural or forestry tractors
(120 × 165 mm), or any combination of those plates.  At the choice of the applicant, it will also specify that the device may be fitted in more than one or a field of positions in relation to the space to be occupied by this registration plate; these different positions shall be indicated by the applicant in the communication form.  It shall be accompanied by the following in respect of each type:−
a) drawings (three copies) in sufficient detail to permit identification of the type and showing
geometrically the position in which the illuminating device is to be fitted in relation to the
space to be occupied by the registration plate, and the outlines of the area adequately
illuminated.  The drawings must show the position intended for the approval number in
relation to the circle of the approval mark;
(1)
As defined in Annex 7 to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3), (document TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.1/Amend.2 as last amended by Amend.4).
b)    a brief technical description stating in particular, with the exception of lamps with
non-replaceable light sources:
(i) the category or categories of filament lamp prescribed; this filament lamp category
shall be one of those contained in Regulation No. 37; and/or
(ii) the light source module specific identification code; (1)
c) two samples, equipped with the lamp or lamps recommended.
3.MARKINGS
Illuminating devices submitted for approval must bear:
3.1.the trade name or mark of the maker or manufacturer of the illuminating device;
3.2.  a space of sufficient size for the approval mark; this space shall be shown in the drawings
mentioned in Paragraph 2 a) above;
3.3.in the case of lamps with non-replaceable light sources or light source module(s), the marking
of rated voltage of the range of voltage, and the rated wattage.
3.4.with the exception of lamps with non-replaceable light sources it must bear a clearly legible and
indelible marking indicating:
a) the category or categories of filament lamp(s) prescribed; and/or
b) the light source module specific identification code.
3.5.in the case of lamps with light source module(s), the light source module(s) shall bear:
3.5.1.the trade name or mark of the applicant; this marking must be clearly legible and indelible;
3.5.2.the specific identification code of the module; this marking must be clearly legible and indelible.
This specific identification code shall comprise the starting letters "MD" for "MODULE" followed by th
e approval marking without the circle as prescribed in Paragraph 4.4.1. below; this specific identification code shall be shown in the drawings mentioned in Paragraph 2 a) above.  The approval marking does not have to be the same as the one on the lamp in which the module is used, but both markings shall be from the same applicant.
3.5.3.the marking of the rated voltage and rated wattage.
4.APPROVAL
4.1.If the two samples of a type of illuminating device submitted in accordance with Paragraph 2
above satisfy the provisions of this Regulation, approval shall be granted.
