Overview

SIST EN IEC 60810:2018/A2:2022 sets out the performance requirements for lamps, light sources, and LED packages used in road vehicles. Developed by CLC (CENELEC) as an amendment to the existing European standard EN IEC 60810:2018, this standard brings requirements in line with current technology and international regulations. It applies to both conventional and LED-based automotive lighting components, focusing on their safety, functionality, and compatibility.

This document is essential for manufacturers, suppliers, and regulatory bodies in the automotive lighting sector who need to ensure that lighting and signalling devices for road vehicles meet stringent quality and performance benchmarks.

Key Topics

• Scope of Application: Covers incandescent lamps, other light sources, and LED packages for road vehicles.
• Performance Requirements: Specifies the criteria for luminous flux, colour groups (including cool white, neutral white, and warm white), UV radiation, colour maintenance, and mass limitations for various lamp and LED models.
• Testing and Measurement: Details the conditions and methods for testing luminous properties and colour, including the referencing of appropriate international standards such as IEC 60809:2021 for dimensional, electrical, and luminous requirements.
• Marking and Identification: Outlines requirements for marking lamps and packages with appropriate identifiers regarding their colour groups and technical attributes for traceability and compliance.
• Compliance with International Regulations: Aligns with United Nations and international standardization for consistent interpretation and adoption across markets.

Applications

The SIST EN IEC 60810:2018/A2:2022 standard is broadly relevant for:

• Automotive Lighting Manufacturers: Assuring product quality by adhering to defined requirements for performance and safety, suitable for both OEM and aftermarket products.
• Vehicle Assembly and Design: Ensuring built-in lighting and signalling devices are standardized, facilitating regulatory approval and optimal vehicle safety.
• Testing Laboratories: Using precise methods for photometric and colourimetric measurement as defined in the standard to validate compliance.
• Regulatory Authorities: Enabling consistent conformity assessment and harmonized market surveillance within the European Economic Area and beyond.
• Procurement Specialists: Specifying and sourcing compliant lamps, light sources, and LED packages as part of the supply chain for road vehicles.

These applications help to ensure that lighting and signalling systems in vehicles deliver reliable performance, meet legal requirements, and support road safety agendas.

Related Standards

For comprehensive compliance and integration with other regulatory requirements, the following standards are closely associated with SIST EN IEC 60810:2018/A2:2022:

• IEC 60809:2021: "Lamps and light sources for road vehicles - Dimensional, electrical, and luminous requirements" - the foundational reference for testing and measurement protocols within EN IEC 60810.
• UN Regulation No. 48: Provides global technical regulations for the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on vehicles.
• CIE 015: Standard for chromaticity coordinates measurement, referenced for colour grouping and assessment.
• ISO/IEC Directives: Framework for the drafting and adoption of international standards to ensure harmonization and clarity.

Practical Value

Implementing SIST EN IEC 60810:2018/A2:2022 ensures products meet up-to-date automotive lighting standards, promoting interoperability and market acceptance. Adherence supports swift regulatory approval and enhances the reliability, safety, and energy efficiency of automotive light sources-contributing to improved road safety and customer satisfaction. This standard is a crucial part of the technical and regulatory landscape for today’s road vehicle manufacturers and their supply chains.

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
