1 Scope

This document applies to electric light sources in road vehicle lighting devices and/or light signal devices (see Note 1).

It is particularly applicable to light sources listed in UN Resolution R.E.5 and light sources subject to other regulations.

This document specifies the technical requirements for interchangeability, including dimensions, optoelectronic performance, as well as corresponding measurement methods.

IEC 60810 specifies requirements for light source life, torsion strength, vibration and impact resistance.

IEC 60983 specifies small road motor vehicle bulbs for auxiliary purposes that are not covered by regulations.

Note 1: In this document, the terms "bulb" and "light source" refer to the same product, as these two terms are interchangeable in this document.

Note 2: In different vocabularies and standards, different terms are used for "incandescent lamp" (845-07-04 in GB/T 2900.65-2004), "discharge lamp" (845-07-17 in GB/T 2900.65- 2004), "LED lamp". In this document, "filament lamp", "discharge lamp", "LED light source" are used. However, when only "lamp" and "light source" are written, it refers to lamps of these three technologies, unless the context clearly indicates that it is used to refer to lamps of a certain technology only. In UN regulations, the term "light source" is used for products specified in this document.

Note 3: "Device" in this document refers to equipment used for lighting purposes. For example, equipment used as headlights or signal lights.

Note: Government agencies may check product conformity according to local regulatory requirements. Headlight used to illuminate the road ahead of the vehicle and will not dazzle people in front of the vehicle, especially drivers of oncoming vehicles. Note: The term is "passing beam" in UN regulations. Luminous flux at the end of aging. 10% of the same type of light sources tested have reached their respective life time. Note: Weibull distribution method is usually used. The minimum and/or maximum values that the characteristics of the lamp must meet when it is working under specified conditions. The ratio -of the luminous flux to the initial luminous flux at a given time within the working life when the light source is working under specified conditions. […]
