Overview

SIST EN IEC 60810:2018/A2:2022, published by CLC, is an important amendment to the European standard that specifies performance requirements for lamps, light sources, and LED packages used in road vehicles. This standard aligns with the international standard IEC 60810:2017/AMD2:2022 and ensures harmonized safety, quality, and functional criteria for automotive lighting components across member countries. The amendment enhances and updates requirements related to luminous performance, color characteristics, UV radiation, and physical properties of these lighting elements to reflect technological advancements and regulatory needs.

Key Topics

• Scope of Application
  This standard covers incandescent lamps, discharge lamps, LED packages, and other light sources specifically designed for road vehicles. It ensures vehicle lighting components meet stringent quality and performance benchmarks to optimize safety and reliability.

• Performance and Test Conditions
  Updated test procedures define precise conditions for measuring luminous flux, color maintenance, UV emission, and mechanical robustness under operational stresses. The standard mandates aging tests and specific operational times before color and luminous measurements are taken to ensure durability and consistency.

• White Colour Groups for Discharge Lamps and LEDs
  The amendment introduces a classification of white color groups with corresponding nominal correlated color temperature (CCT) values and chromaticity coordinates:

  • Cool White (CW) – 5700 K, x ≤ 0.345
  • Neutral White (NW) – 4500 K, 0.345 < x < 0.405 (default group)
  • Warm White (WW) – 3500 K, x ≥ 0.405

  These color groups align with UN Regulation No. 48 and IEC 60809:2021, providing a standardized method for color measurement using CIE chromaticity coordinates.

• Updated Reference Standards
  EN IEC 60810:2018/A2 replaces references to IEC 60809:2014 with the updated IEC 60809:2021 standard for dimensional, electrical, and luminous requirements of lamps and light sources for road vehicles.

• Physical Requirements
  The amendment specifies maximum mass limits for new LED light source types and emphasizes proper support for cables and accessories to avoid undue mechanical stress on lamp holders.

Applications

• Automotive Lighting Industry
  Manufacturers of vehicle lighting components can use SIST EN IEC 60810:2018/A2:2022 to ensure that their products meet the highest performance standards for headlamps, signal lamps, clearance lamps, and LED modules. This compliance supports market access and regulatory approvals in Europe and beyond.

• Vehicle Safety and Regulation Compliance
  Regulators and vehicle manufacturers rely on this standard to ensure that lighting systems deliver consistent luminous output, correct color temperature, and controlled UV radiation, all critical for road safety and visibility.

• Product Development and Quality Assurance
  Quality engineers and product developers working with automotive lighting can integrate the testing methodologies and performance requirements detailed in this standard to optimize durability, color stability, and overall lighting effectiveness.

Related Standards

• IEC 60809:2021 – Sets dimensional, electrical, and luminous requirements for lamps and light sources in road vehicles; a foundational reference adopted by SIST EN IEC 60810:2018/A2:2022.

• UN Regulation No. 48 – International regulation defining requirements for vehicle lighting colors and photometric characteristics, used as a basis for color grouping in the standard.

• EN IEC 60810:2018 – The original performance requirements standard for vehicle lighting sources, updated by this Amendment 2 (2022).

Practical Value

Utilizing SIST EN IEC 60810:2018/A2:2022 helps manufacturers, regulatory bodies, and automotive lighting engineers:

• Achieve consistent and accurate color metrics for white light groupings critical for driver visibility and signaling.
• Ensure high-performance durability through rigorous aging and luminous flux retention tests.
• Comply with international and European regulations, simplifying entry into multiple markets.
• Maintain updated mass and mechanical installation criteria to enhance the reliability of LED and discharge lamps.

By adhering to this amendment, stakeholders guarantee enhanced safety, reliability, and quality of vehicle lighting systems suited for evolving automotive technologies and regulatory landscapes.

AMENDMENT 2
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
