Paragraph 9., amend to read:

"9.	COLOUR OF LIGHT

The colour of the light emitted inside the field of the light distribution grid defined at paragraph 3 of annex 3 shall be white. It shall be measured by using a source of light at a colour temperature of 2856 K (corresponding to illuminant A of the International Commission on Illumination, CIE). However, for lamps equipped with non-replaceable light sources (filament lamps and other), the colorimetric characteristics should be verified with the light sources present in the lamp, in accordance with paragraph 10.2. of this Regulation.

The colour of the light emitted inside the light distribution grid defined at paragraph 3 of annex 3 must be within the limits of the trichromatic co-ordinates prescribed in annex 4 to this Regulation. Outside this field no sharp variation of colour shall be observed."
