According to SVA 9.1 Annex.1 there should be an " 'E', 'e' , Identity symbol or BS mark "
on each lens. Only if they are a combined cluster is it ok to have a single E mark or equivalent. It is then up to the applicant to prove, if requested, that the equivalent mark complies with UK standards.
Having just reread the section in the SVA manual detailing reasons for failure I noted that nowhere does it state that not having an E mark or equivalent is a cause to fail ?
It only states, quote - " except in the case of a headlamp,not of a similar brightness when compared with a lamp bearing an appropriate approval mark as given in annex 1" end quote.
So I read that as long as the lamp brightness can be compared to a similar E marked lamp the actual lamp doesn't need an E mark ????
Can any one enlighten (pardon the pun) us.
