EN 60809:1996/A3:2004

Lamps for road vehicles - Dimensional, electrical and luminous requirements

Covers incandescent lamps to be used in headlights, foglights and signalling lights for road vehicles and specifies the technical requirements with methods of test and basic interchangeability (dimensional, electrical and luminous). Applies amongst others to lamps which may be the subject of legislation. In particular covers those lamps contained in regulation no. 37 of Geneva agreement of 20 March 1958 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) concerning the adaption of uniform conditions of approval and reciprocal recognition of approval of motor vehicle equipment and parts.

Sijalke za cestna vozila – Dimenzijske, električne in svetlobne zahteve (IEC 60809:1995/A3:2004)

Zajema sijalke, ki se uporabljajo v žarometih, meglenkah in signalnih lučeh za cestna vozila, in določa tehnične zahteve z metodami preskušanja in osnovne zamenljivosti (dimenzijske, električne in svetlobne). Med drugim se uporablja tudi za sijalke, ki so lahko predmet zakonodaje. Zajema predvsem sijalke iz Uredbe št. 37 Ženevskega sporazuma z dne 20. marca 1958 Ekonomske komisije Združenih narodov za Evropo (ECE) v zvezi s prilagoditvijo enotnih pogojev za odobritev in vzajemno priznavanje odobritve opreme in delov motornih vozil.

LAMPS FOR ROAD VEHICLES –
DIMENSIONAL, ELECTRICAL AND
LUMINOUS REQUIREMENTS
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be c
