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.

normal use. They shall, moreover, exhibit no fault in design or manufacture.
2.2 Lamp marking
The following information shall be legibly and durably marked on all filament lamps:
– the trade name or mark of the manufacturer or responsible vendor;
– the nominal voltage;
– the international designation of the relevant category;
– the nominal wattage (in the sequence: high wattage filament/low wattage filament for dual
filament lamps); this need not be indicated separately if it is part of the international
designation of the relevant filament lamp category.

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.

relevant lamp data sheet.
The luminous flux specified on the relevant filament lamp data sheet applies for filament
lamps emitting white light, unless a special colour is stated there.
In the case where selective-yellow colour is allowed the luminous flux of the filament lamp
with selective-yellow (outer) bulb shall be at least 85 % of the specified luminous flux of the
relevant filament lamps with colourless bulb.
Compliance shall be checked by the tests specified in annex C.
2.8 Check on optical quality
This requirement applies only to double filament lamps with internal shield for headlamps
emitting an asymmetrical dipped beam when the relevant regulation requires such a test.
The check on optical quality shall be carried out at a voltage such that the test luminous flux
is obtained.
2.8.1 12 V lamps emitting white light
The sample which most nearly conforms to the requirements laid down for the standard
filament lamp shall be tested in an appropriate standard headlamp and it shall be verified that
the assembly comprising the aforesaid headlamp and the filament lamp being tested meets
the light-distribution requirements laid down for the dipped beam in the relevant regulation,
directive or standard.
2.8.2 6 V and 24 V lamps emitting white light
The sample which most nearly conforms to the rated dimension values shall be tested in an
appropriate standard headlamp and it shall be verified that the assembly comprising the
aforesaid headlamp and the filament lamp being tested meets the light-distribution
requirements laid down for the dipped beam in the relevant regulation, directive or standard.
Deviations not exceeding 10 % of the minimum values will be acceptable.
2.8.3 Lamps emitting selective-yellow light

2.10 Standard (étalon) filament lamps
Standard filament lamps shall fulfil the additional requirements as specified on the relevant
filament lamp data sheets.
Bulbs of standard (étalon) filament lamps emitting white light shall not alter the CIE chromaticity
co-ordinates of a luminous source having a colour temperature of 2 856 K by more than
0,010 units in the x and/or y direction. For standard (étalon) filament lamps emitting amber or red
light, changes of the bulb temperature shall not affect the luminous flux which might impair
photometric measurements of signalling devices. Moreover, for amber standard (étalon) filament
lamps the colour shall be in the lower part of the tolerance area, i.e. towards the red.
3 Requirements and test conditions for discharge lamps
3.1 General requirements
Discharge lamps shall be so designed as to be and to remain in good working order when in
normal use. They shall, moreover, exhibit no fault in design or manufacture.
3.2 Lamp marking
The following information shall be legibly and durably marked on the cap of the discharge
lamps:
– the trade name or mark of manufacturer or responsible vendor;
– the nominal wattage;
– the international designation of the relevant category.
Inscriptions other than the above may be affixed.
NOTE 1 An example of such inscription is the approval mark conferred by an administrative authority.
NOTE 2 The ballast used for starting and operating the discharge lamps should be marked with type and trade
mark identification and with the nominal voltage and wattage, as indicated on the relevant data sheet.

In case of yellow, the colorimetric characteristics shall lie within the area formed by the
following limits:
limit towards red
y ≥ 0,138 + 0,580 x
limit towards green
y ≤ 1,29 x – 0,100
limit towards white y ≥ – x + 0,940 and y ≥ 0,440
limit towards spectral value
y ≤ – x + 0,992
The minimum red content of the light of a discharge lamp emitting white light shall be such
that:
