Foreword

Clauses 5, 6, 7 of this Standard are mandatory; the rest are recommendatory.

This Standard was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.

This Standard uses redrafting method to modify and adopt United Nations

Economic Commission for Europe ECE R91-2008 Uniform Provisions on the

Certification of Motor Vehicles and Their Side Trailers (E/ECE/324-

E/ECE/TRANS/505 Rev.1/Add.90/Rev.2,19 September 2008), including three

amendments (E/ECE/324-E/ECE/TRANS/505 Rev.1/Add.90/Rev.2/Amend. 1,

4 November 2008; E/ECE/324/Rev.1/Add.90/Rev.2/Amend.2-E/ECE/TRANS/

505/Rev.1/Add.90/Rev.2/Amend.2, 25 January 2011; E/ECE/324/Rev.1/

Add.90/Rev.2/Amend. 3-E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.1/Add.90/ Rev.2/Amend. 3. 7,

July 2011). It is not equivalent with ECE R91-2008 on consistency. The main

differences are as follows.

- deleted the terms of management;

- deleted the annex of "Minimum requirements for production conformance

control procedures";

- deleted the annex of "Minimum requirements for inspector sampling";

- added inspection rules.

The main technical requirements, such as the general requirements -

photometric characteristics - light color - test method are consistent with the

above regulations.

This Standard replaces GB 18099-2000 Photometric characteristics of side-

marker lamps for motor vehicles and their trailers. Compared with the previous

edition, the main changes are as follows.

- modified Clause 2 "Normative references" of the previous edition;

- modified Clause 3 "Definitions" of the previous edition to "Terms and

definitions";

- modified Clause 5 "Test methods" of the previous edition to Clause 6 "Test

methods" of this edition;

- modified Clause 6 "Inspection rules" of the previous edition to Clause 7

"Inspection rules" of this edition;

- added the category definition of the side-marker lamps;

Photometric characteristics of

side-marker lamps for motor vehicles and their trailers

1 Scope

This Standard specifies the technical requirements, test methods and

inspection rules of side-marker lamps for motor vehicles and their trailers.

This Standard is applicable to side-marker lamps irrespective of types used by

M, N and O categories of vehicles.

2 Normative references

The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of

this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated

references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any

amendments) applies.

GB 4599, Motor vehicle headlamps equipped with filament lamps

GB 4785, Prescription for installation of the external lighting and light-

signaling devices for motor vehicles and their trailers

GB 15766.1, Lamps for road vehicles - Dimensional electrical and luminous

requirements

ECE R37, Uniform provisions concerning the approval of filament lamps for

use in approved lamp units of power-driven vehicles and of their trailers

3 Terms and definitions

The terms and definitions specified in GB 4785, GB 15766.1 and ECE R37 as

well as the following ones apply to this Standard.

3.1 SM1 category of side-marker lamps

side-marker lamps applicable to all types of vehicles

3.2 SM2 category of side-marker lamps

side-marker lamps applicable to M1 category of vehicles

4 Different types of side-marker lamps

It refers to the side-marker lamps which have differences in the following

aspects.

a) Trade names or trademarks;

b) Characteristics of the optical system (luminous intensity level, light

distribution angle, type of filament lamp or light source module used, etc.);

however, filament lamp color or filter color change does not affect the type

of change.

5 Requirements

5.1 General

5.1.1 The side-marker lamps shall be designed and manufactured to, under

normal conditions of use, even when subjected to vibration, meet the

requirements for use and comply with the provisions of this Standard.

5.1.2 The replaceable light source used for the side-marker lamps shall be

the one complying with the provisions of GB 15766.1 or ECE R37. The design

of side-marker lamps should make replaceable light source be only loaded in

its correct design position.

5.1.3 The light source modules used for the side-marker lamps should only

be installed in their correct design positions and should only be disassembled

by using tools. If more than one light source modules are used in a side-marker

lamp, the light source modules with different characteristics in the same lamp

house shall not be interchangeable. The light source module should be able to

prevent movement. In the mechanical structure, the light source module should

not be interchangeable with the replaceable light source specified in GB

15766.1 or ECE R37.

5.2 Light color and color characteristics

The light color and chromaticity characteristics of the side-marker lamps shall

comply with the provisions of GB 4785. Beyond the geometrical visibility range

specified in 5.3.1, a significant change in light color shall not be observed.

5.3 Photometric characteristics

5.3.1 The geometrical visibility of the side-marker lamps shall comply with the

provisions of GB 4785. The luminous intensity should be consistent with the

provisions of Table 1.

measurement, to make its optical properties tend to be stable.

6.1.5 The measurement distance should ensure that the inverse square law

of distance in photometry can be applied.

6.1.6 Observed from the reference center, the angle of the light receiver is

between 10' and 1°.

6.1.7 The angle deviation of each measuring direction should not be more

than 15'.

6.2 Measurements of photometric characteristics, light color and color

characteristics

6.2.1 For side-marker lamps with a single replaceable filament lamp source,

in the absence of an electronic light source controller, it shall use the

appropriate type of colorless or colored standard bulb to measure under its

reference luminous flux.

6.2.2 For side-marker lamps that use multiple replaceable filament lamp

sources, in the absence of an electronic light source controller, it shall use

filament bulbs of batch production to measure under the corresponding voltage

of 13.5 V or 28.0 V. The measured luminous intensity values shall be corrected.

The correction factor is the ratio of the reference luminous flux of each lamp to

the average of the luminous flux at the test voltage (13.5 V or 28.0 V). The

actual luminous flux of each filament lamp used shall deviate from its mean

value by not more than ± 5%. The photometric characteristics shall also use

standard bulbs one by one at the position of each bulb. Measure at the

reference luminous flux. Add the measurement result of each position.

6.2.3 For side-marker lamps with non-replaceable light sources, in the

absence of an electronic light source controller, it should use the light source of

side-marker lamp installation to measure at corresponding load voltage of 13.5

V or 28.0 V.

6.2.4 For side-marker lamps that use electronic light source controller and of

which the controller is used as one part of side-marker lamp, it shall measure

at the input terminal of side-marker lamp at the voltage specified by the

manufacturer. If the manufacturer does not specify the voltage, it shall measure

at corresponding load voltage of 13.5 V or 28.0 V.

6.2.5 For side-marker lamps that use electronic light source controller and of

which the controller is used as one part of side-marker lamp, it shall measure

at the input terminal of side-marker lamp at the voltage specified by the

manufacturer.

6.2.6 For side-marker lamps of which the light sources used is not filament
