Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the
work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Stan-
dards, but in exceptional circumstances a technical committee may
propose the publication of a Technical Report of one of the following
types:
- type I, when the required support cannot be obtained for the publi-
cation of an International Standard, despite repeated efforts;
- type 2, when the subject is still under technical development or
where for any other reason there is the future but not immediate
possibility of an agreement on an International Standard;
- type 3, when a technical committee has collected data of a different
kind from that which is normally published as an International Stan-
dard (“state of the art”, for example).
Technical Reports of types 1 and 2 are subject to review within three
years of publication, to decide whether they can be transformed into
International Standards. Technical Reports of type 3 do not necessarily
have to be reviewed until the data they provide are considered to be no
longer valid or useful.
,
ISO/TR 9819, which is a Technical Report of type 3, was prepared by
Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Sub-Committee SC 8,
Lighting and signalling.

Introduction
0.1 Rationale
This Technical Report intends world-wide harmonization within the Member Bodies of ISO/TC 22 and
others using IS0 303. The following points are considered:
a) The compilation of photometric requirements of light signalling devices consists only of devices
specified in IS0 303 regarding location and colour. (Nos. 18 and 19 are new and incorporation
into IS0 303 is pending.)
b) Light signalling devices listed in the tables of the photometric values are either fully harmonized
with other national or international requirements or nearest to harmonization (e.g. see sheets 6
and 7).
c) The latest or current test documents are listed. Test documents are only mentioned without the
latest document index or date of issue. Thus the Technical Report will not be outdated by a change
of a test document resulting in a new index, etc.
d) As generally various approved light sources, filament lamps (bulbs) are possible for one light
signalling device, the filament lamp documents from NA, EU and the IEC are listed in clause 2.
Thus a change of those documents does not outdate the data sheets of this Technical Report.
e) The colour chosen is either the colour defined in the test document or in IS0 303 and which is
harmonized or compatible as far as possible.
f) The tables of the photometric values are those used for the standard light signalling devices.
Devices with more than one compartment or a special location, e.g., front direction indicator lamp,
are considered in clause 3. Thus exemptions of IS0 303 as well as the appropriate test documents
are taken into account.
g) The tables of luminous intensities are for the design of light signalling devices as well as testing.
For production sample(s), see note 1.
h) Canada has announced that they are in the process of harmonizing with Europe and the USA;
therefore the data sheets are already updated.
i) USA, FMVSS 108 and Canada CMVSS 108 have no specific requirements for “optional devices”:
the appropriate SAE Standard has therefore also been listed when the device is optional.
j)
The photometric test procedure, the test grid with the left (L) and right (R) test points and the
laboratory accuracy guideline are explained in the SAE Standards.
k) This document is not an exhaustive catalogue of all national and international regulations, but is
based on common data.

0.2 Sources
ThisTechnical Report is a compilation of specifications of North America (NA), Europe (EU) and
Japan, for use when light signalling devices as specified in IS0 303 are designed, tested or assessed.
It gives the differences between the listed requirements and may be used for further harmonization.
NOTE 1 Photometric characteristics of lights are not within the mandate of ISO. Instead, photometric charac-
teristics are being considered by a Working Group which was appointed jointly by the International Organization
for Standardization (Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles), the International Commission on
Illumination (Committee CIE TC 4-10, Automobile lighting systems) and the International Electrotechnical
Commission (Technical Committee I EC/TC 34, Lamps and related equipment).
This Working Group met for the first time in Brussels in 1952, and has been named “Groupe de Travail
Bruxelles 1952 (G.T.B.)“. G.T.B. drafted all the ECE Regulations and EEC-Directives dealing with lighting
devices which are cited in the “data sheets”.
In the USA and Canada, the SAE developed the relevant SAE Standards which were eventually totally or
partially integrated into both MVSS 108.
In Japan the JIS D 5500 was similarly developed by the Japanese Standards Association.

Road vehicles - Comparison tables of regulations on
photometric requirements of light signalling devices
1 Scope
This Technical Report establishes a comparison of regulations on the requirements for light signalling
devices to be installed into road vehicles and their trailers. It may be applied in the lack of detailed
specifications to choose the photometric requirements or standard for the appropriate lamps regarding
their design data and design test values. Sample(s) of light signalling devices taken from production or
stock, etc. are to be tested in compliance with the appropriate test documents under “performance
requirements” in NA and “conformity of production” in EU.

3 Tables of photometric requirements of light signalling devices with one
compartment
Specifications for light signalling devices with one compartment are given in the following individual
sheets.
For light signalling devices with more than one compartment, see IS0 303, appropriate clauses and
the appropriate test document(s). For different values needed for special location, as for the front
direction indicator lamp, see also the appropriate test document(s).

Each data sheet consists of
- a table with an angular grid of the photometric test points and the photometric test zone(s), and the
effective test angles;‘)
- a table of the design luminous intensities which are required in NA (USA and Canada), EU (ECE
and EEC) and Japan (JIS);l)t*)
- a table of the appropriate test document(s) and colour(s): only the latest test document(s) should
be consulted.
