I can't recall what the SVA manual said but current IVA manual says....
Lamp/reflector vertical position is measured from the ground:
In the case of the minimum height to the lower edge of the illuminated area (reflective surface on a reflector).
In the case of a Dipped Beam headlamp the minimum height will be measured to the apparent trace of the beam cut-off on the lens. If this point cannot be determined then you will take the lower edge of the illuminated area.
So a little subjective, depending on the inspectors opinion.
Personally, if you can, I'd set the bottom edge to be 500mm from the ground and take your 'c' spanner with you, just in case.
