Overview

IEC 62707-1:2013/AMD1:2018 is an amendment to the international standard focusing on LED binning for automotive applications. Published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this amendment updates Part 1 of the LED-binning standard, which covers general requirements and introduces a white colour grid specifically intended for automotive use. By standardizing LED binning and testing protocols, this document ensures consistency and reliability in automotive LED lighting components.

The standard applies exclusively to LED packages designed for automotive environments. It provides detailed procedures for testing and categorizing LEDs based on optical and electrical measurements, vital for quality control and uniform performance in automotive lighting systems.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Application
    IEC 62707-1:2013/AMD1:2018 applies to encapsulated LED packages used in automotive applications. It defines the criteria and methodologies for binning-sorting individual LEDs by luminous flux, colour, and intensity to ensure uniformity in production and performance.

  • Binning Test Procedure
    A comprehensive outline of the binning test procedure includes:

    • Temperature Pre-conditioning: Stabilizing ambient, solder, case, and junction temperatures at 23°C ± 5°C to ensure consistent testing conditions.
    • Pulse Definition & Measurement Intervals: Specifies detailed timings for electrical and optical measurements, such as stabilization times (1–5 ms), integration times (1–40 ms), and total pulse duration not exceeding 51 ms during binning tests.
    • Binning Currents: Defines appropriate binning current values depending on LED power and technology (InGaN and AlInGaP), ensuring measurements at typical operating conditions.
  • Measurement Accuracy
    Annex C recommends accuracy standards for optical and electrical measurements:

    • Luminous flux and intensity should have reproducibility tolerance within ±8% and absolute uncertainty within ±11%.
    • Forward voltage reproducibility and uncertainty limits are ±0.050 V and ±0.100 V respectively.
    • Calibration must trace back to national standards to guarantee measurement traceability and reliability.
  • White Colour Grid for Automotive LEDs
    The amendment includes provisions for a white colour grid designed to standardize white light output characteristics in automotive LEDs, crucial for consistent lighting quality and regulatory compliance.

Applications

IEC 62707-1:2013/AMD1:2018 is essential for manufacturers, suppliers, and quality assurance professionals involved in automotive LED lighting production. Key applications include:

  • Automotive Headlamps and Signal Lights
    Ensuring LED components meet precise optical and electrical specifications for reliable vehicle lighting performance and safety.

  • LED Binning for Uniform Colour and Luminous Output
    Critical in maintaining consistent visual appearance and operational standards across automotive lighting product lines.

  • Supplier Quality Control
    Enables systematic sorting and categorizing of LED batches to meet OEM specifications and regulatory requirements.

  • Product Development and Testing
    Facilitates optimized LED designs by using standardized measurement and testing procedures to assess performance under defined conditions.

Related Standards

  • IEC 62707 Series
    Covers general LED binning methods and additional parts addressing specific technologies or applications beyond Part 1.

  • ISO/IEC Guide 98-3:2008
    Referenced in Annex C for guidelines on measurement uncertainty, commonly known as the "Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement" providing foundational principles for all measurements in this standard.

  • Other IEC Standards on Lighting and Measurement
    Standards relating to automotive lighting regulations, photometric measurements, and LED technology interoperability contribute to a comprehensive framework supporting IEC 62707-1:2013/AMD1:2018.

Summary

IEC 62707-1:2013/AMD1:2018 serves as a critical amendment that enhances the LED binning process, emphasizing reliable and standardized measurement procedures tailored to automotive applications. By adopting these general requirements and the white colour grid, manufacturers can ensure high quality, safety, and regulatory compliance of LED lighting components in vehicles. This standard is indispensable for advancing automotive LED technology with consistent performance metrics, fostering innovation and uniformity across global markets.

5.2 Temperature pre-conditioning
Before starting the binning test procedure, the LED package temperatures shall be stabilized
as follows:
Each of T , T , T , T shall be 23 °C ± 5 °C
a s c j
where
T is the ambient temperature of the air surrounding the LED package;
a
T is the solder temperature of the LED package;
s
T is the temperature at the T point of the LED package;

5.3 Pulse definition and measurement intervals
During the binning test procedure, the following times and time-intervals (in millisecond, ms)
shall be applied, see Table 5 and Figure 5.
Where a certain range is given, the LED package manufacturer shall choose an appropriate
value.
This choice of the LED package manufacturer shall be made taking into account the following
parameters:
• measurement equipment capability,
• typical input power of the LED package,
• typical heat capacity of the LED package,
• typical thermal conductivity of the LED package,
• typical thermal time-constant of the LED package,
• typical increase of T during the measurement e.g. by monitoring changes in forward
j
voltage.
NOTE In this context, “typical” means: representative for the product family.
The integrating times for the measurements shall be chosen by the LED package
manufacturer to ensure stabilization of the measurement and to avoid an excessive increase
of the junction temperature (T ) of the LED package during the integration time.
j
It is recommended that the increase of junction temperature (T ) during the integration time
j
should not be greater than 5 K.
