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 clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60809 has been prepared by subcommittee 34A: Lamps, of IEC
technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This consolidated version of IEC 60809 is based on the second edition (1995) [documents
34A/592/DIS and 34A/626/RVD], its Amendment 1 (1996) [documents 34A/653/FDIS and
34A/686/RVD], its Amendment 2 (2002) [documents 34A/979/FDIS and 34A/987/RVD], its
Amendment 3 (2004) [documents 34A/1077/FDIS and 34A/1081/RVD] and its Amendment 4
(2009) [documents 34A/1314/FDIS and 34A/1321/RVD].
It bears the edition number 2.4.
The origin (edition 2 or Amendment 1, 2, 3 or 4) of the standard sheets constituting this
consolidated edition may be identified by the headers of the sheets.
The committee has decided that the contents of this amendment and the base publication will
remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

LAMPS FOR ROAD VEHICLES –
DIMENSIONAL, ELECTRICAL AND LUMINOUS REQUIREMENTS
1 General
1.1 Scope
This International Standard is applicable to replaceable lamps (filament lamps and discharge
lamps) to be used in headlamps, fog-lamps and signalling lamps for road vehicles.
It is especially applicable to those lamps which are the subject of legislation. In particular, it
1)
includes the lamps contained in Regulations No.37 and No.99 of the Geneva Agreement of
20 March 1958 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE). However, the
standard may be used for other lamps falling under the scope of this standard.
The standard specifies the technical requirements with methods of tests and basic
interchangeability (dimensional, electrical and luminous) for lamps of normal production and
for standard (étalon) lamps.
For most of the requirements given in this standard, reference is made to the "relevant data
sheet". For all lamps listed in Clause 5 , data sheets are contained in this standard. For other
lamps, the relevant data are supplied by the lamp manufacturer or responsible vendor. It
could be based on national legislation.
Other requirements such as lamp life, lumen maintenance, torsion strength and resistance to
vibration and shock are specified in IEC 60810. The latter standard also gives information for
guidance of lighting equipment design, such as temperature limits and maximum lamp
outlines.
Road vehicle lamps for supplementary purposes which are not the subject of legislation are
specified in IEC 60983.
In countries which legislate for approval, for example under the terms of the aforementioned
ECE Regulations, it is suggested that reference is made to this standard for assessment of
compliance. IEC 60810 and IEC 60983 are not intended for that purpose.
NOTE In the various vocabularies and standards, different terms are used for "incandescent lamp" (IEV 845-07-04) and
"discharge lamp" (IEV 845-07-17). In this standard "filament lamp" and "discharge lamp" are used. However, where
only "lamp" is written both types are meant, unless the context clearly shows that it applies to one type only.

SIST EN 60809:1996/A4:2009
60809 Amend. 3 © IEC:2004 – 15 –
Additionally, halogen filament lamps meeting the requirements of 2.9 shall be marked with
a “U”.
NOTE Halogen filament lamps are filament lamps whose category designation starts with the letter “H”.
Inscriptions other than the above may be affixed.
NOTE An example of such an inscription is the approval mark conferred by an administrative authority.
Compliance shall be checked by the following:
a) presence and legibility - by visual inspection;
b) durability - by applying the following test on unused lamps:
The area of the marking on the lamp shall be rubbed by hand with a smooth cloth, dampened
with water, for a period of 15 s.
After this test, the marking shall still be legible.
If the marking is on the bulb, it shall not adversely affect the luminous characteristics.
2.3 Bulbs
Filament lamp bulbs shall exhibit no scores or spots which might impair their optical
performance.
2.4 Colour
2.4.1 Colour of light
The colour of the light emitted by the filament lamp shall be white, unless otherwise
prescribed on the relevant filament lamp data sheet. For some categories other colour(s) of
light are allowed.
The colorimetric characteristics of the light emitted, expressed in CIE chromaticity
co-ordinates, shall lie within the following limits:
– finished filament lamps emitting white light
limit towards blue: x ≥ 0,310
limit towards yellow: x ≤ 0,500
limit towards green: y ≤ 0,150 + 0,640 x
limit towards green: y ≤ 0,440
