General comments The tests shall be carried out in still air at an ambient temperature of 23 degrees C + 5 degrees C. During the various phases of the test, precautions shall be taken to avoid a thermal shock to the headlamp glass. If the manufacturer of the cleaning device has the intention to provide several positions of the cleaning device and the headlamps, only the headlamp in its worst position to the cleaning device must be tested. If a cleaning fluid is used the additional nozzles for the non-simulated side must be present on the test fixture for checking the fluid consumptions. 2. Test equipment 2.1. Test mixture 2.1.1. For headlamp with the outside lens in glass: A mixture of water and polluting agent to be applied to the headlamp shall be composed of: 9 parts by weight of silica sand with a particle size of 0-100 microns corresponding to distribution prescribed in paragraph 2.1.3, 1 part by weight of vegetable carbon dust (beechwood) with a particle size of 0-100 microns, 0.2 parts by weight of NaCMC 1/, and an appropriate quantity of distilled water with a conductivity of < 1 mS/m. 2.1.2. For headlamp with the outside lens in plastic material: The mixture of water and polluting agent to be applied to the headlamp shall be composed of: 9 parts by weight of silica sand with a particle size of 0-100 microns corresponding to distribution prescribed in paragraph 2.1.3, 1 part by weight of vegetable carbon dust (beechwood) with a particle size of 0-100 microns, 0.2 parts by weight of NaCMC [1/], 5 parts by weight of sodium chloride (pure at 99%) 13 parts by weight of distilled water with a conductivity of < 1 mS/m, and 2 +/- 1 parts by weight of surface-actant. Particle size (in microns) Particle size distribution (in %) 0 to 5 12 +/- 2 5 to 10 12 +/- 3 10 to 20 14 +/- 3 20 to 40 23 +/- 3 40 to 80 30 +/- 3 80 to 100 9 +/- 3 2.1.4. The mixture shall be fit for applying to the headlamp by the spray gun specified under 2.3 below. The mixture shall be used not earlier than two hours and not later than 24 hours after preparation. It shall be given into the gun immediately before use. 2.2. The photometric measuring equipment shall be equivalent to that used in connection with the approval of headlamps. 2.3. A power supply of sufficient capacity (during the cleaning period the voltage drop must not be more than 1%), a voltmeter for short time measurements (oscillograph), a spray gun at an operating pressure of about 500 kPa with a flow cup and a nozzle of 1.5 mm diameter. 2.4. If not tested on the vehicle, the headlamp(s) and the cleaner shall be mounted on a test fixture which reproduces the installation on the vehicle and permits normal operation of both cleaner and headlamp (s). 2.5. For the purpose of the test on electrically operated devices the power supply shall be adjusted in such a way that under load at the contacts of the largest consumer the voltage is 13.0 V in the case or 12 V systems and 27.0 V in the case of 24 V systems. As far as the measurements of illumination are concerned, they shall be carried out on the basis of the approval tests for the headlamps. In case of doubt only measurements performed with a standard filament lamp are valid. 3. Photometric measurements of the headlamp when clean The light-emitting surface of the headlamp shall be clean and the headlamp cleaner shall be in the stationary position. The photometric measurements shall be made in compliance with the specifications of the relevant Regulation, as well as the measurements prescribed in paragraph 4 below. The illumination shall then be measured at the measuring points specified in paragraph 7 of this Regulation. 4. Evaluation of cleaning efficiency 4.1. After the headlamp(s) has been operated for 10 minutes the dirt mixture shall be applied evenly to its entire light-emitting surface using the spray gun mentioned above. The mixture shall then be dried either by operating the headlamp or using hot air. This procedure shall be repeated, if necessary until the luminous intensity in all measuring points has been reduced below 20 % of the values according to paragraph 3 of this annex. At least the luminous intensity in one of the several measuring points shall be between 15 and 20 %. 4.1.1. The values to be used during the tests for the duration of the cleaning period and the consumption of cleaning fluid during this period shall be the values declared by the manufacturer. The fluid consumption shall be measured as the mean value over several cleaning periods as specified by the manufacturer. 4.1.2. After the headlamp has cooled down and not later than two hours after the dirt has dried the headlamps shall be switched on and the headlamp cleaner shall be operated for the cleaning period specified by the manufacturer. This cleaning period shall not exceed 10 s. 4.2. If a cleaning fluid is used for the cleaning operation, the test shall be performed with distilled water with a conductivity of not more than 10 micros /cm. 4.3. If the cleaner is designed to be manually operated, the cleaning shall be accomplished with a maximum of five operations within the time-limit specified in paragraph 4.1.2. above. 4.4. Where the cleaner is not electrically operated, the operating conditions for the test shall be specified by the technical service in accordance with the manufacturer. 4.5. After the cleaning operation, the headlamp shall have been allowed to dry. Then the illumination at the measuring points shall be measured again as required in paragraph 3 above and values thus obtained shall comply with the requirements specified in paragraph 7 of this Regulation. 4.6. If the result of the measurements does not meet the requirements according to paragraph 4.5. above it is permitted, in the case of a headlamp cleaner operated with a cleaning fluid, to try to achieve better results by adjusting the jet of the fluid.

[1/] Adherence to this Regulation is not incompatible with the existence of national regulations which do not accept vehicles approved with headlamp cleaners of capacity class 25. [2/] Headlamp cleaners shall not be considered as different in type because of differences in fluid consumption, cleaning period or the fitting of cleaning elements, provided that compliance with this Regulation is verified by the technical service responsible for the approval tests. This is also valid, if headlamps to be cleaned differ only by the filament lamp used, the design for left hand or right hand traffic, the colour of the light or by parts of the headlamp which do not influence the effectiveness of the headlamp cleaner. In the case of different filament lamps only the headlamp version with the highest power consumption is to be tested.
