2.2.4.1.2. every such lens or sample of material shall be produced by the method to be used in mass production;
2.2.4.2. a reflector to which the lenses can be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

4. APPROVAL
4.1. General
4.1.1. If all the samples of a type of headlamp submitted pursuant to paragraph 2 above satisfy the provisions of this Regulation, approval shall be granted.
4.1.2. Where grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps satisfy the requirements of more than one Regulation, a single international approval mark may be affixed provided that each lamp of the grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps satisfies the provisions applicable to it. This requirement shall not apply to headlamps fitted with a two-filament bulb when a single beam is approved.
