LAMPS, LIGHT SOURCES AND LED PACKAGES FOR
ROAD VEHICLES – PERFORMANCE 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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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.
This redline version of the official IEC Standard allows the user to identify the changes
made to the previous edition. A vertical bar appears in the margin wherever a change
has been made. Additions are in green text, deletions are in strikethrough red text.
International Standard IEC 60810 has been prepared by subcommittee 34A: Lamps, of IEC
technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2014 and
Amendment 1:2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) update and clarification of the title and scope;
b) introduction of new LED light sources;
c) introduction of requirements for LED light sources;
d) introduction of guidelines on LED package robustness validation for LED packages.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
34A/2021/FDIS 34A/2033/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.

LAMPS, LIGHT SOURCES AND LED PACKAGES FOR
ROAD VEHICLES – PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
1 Scope
This document is applicable to lamps (filament lamps, discharge lamps, LED light sources)
and LED packages to be used in road vehicles, i.e. in headlamps, fog-lamps, signalling lamps
and interior lighting. It is especially applicable to those lamps and light sources which are
listed in IEC 60809. However, the standard may also be used for other lamps falling under the
scope of this standard.
It specifies requirements and test methods for the measurement of performance charac-
teristics such as lamp life, luminous flux maintenance, torsion strength, glass bulb strength
and resistance to vibration and shock. Moreover, information on temperature limits, maximum
lamp outlines and maximum tolerable voltage surges is given as guidance for lighting and
electrical equipment design.
For some of the requirements given in this document, reference is made to data given in
tables. For lamps not listed in such tables, the relevant data are supplied by the lamp
manufacturer or responsible vendor.
The performance requirements are additional to the basic requirements specified in
IEC 60809. They are, however, not intended to be used by authorities for legal type-approval
purposes.
NOTE 1 In the various vocabularies and standards, different terms are used for "incandescent lamp"
(IEC 60050-845:1987, 845-07-04) and "discharge lamp" (IEC 60050-845:1987, 845-07-17). In this document,
"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.
NOTE 2 This document does not apply to luminaires.
NOTE 3 In this document, the term LED light source is used, in other standards the term LED lamps can be used
to describe similar products.

LAMPS, LIGHT SOURCES AND LED PACKAGES FOR
ROAD VEHICLES – PERFORMANCE 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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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 60810 has been prepared by subcommittee 34A: Lamps, of IEC
technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2014 and
Amendment 1:2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) update and clarification of the title and scope;
b) introduction of new LED light sources;
c) introduction of requirements for LED light sources;
d) introduction of guidelines on LED package robustness validation for LED packages.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
34A/2021/FDIS 34A/2033/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

LAMPS, LIGHT SOURCES AND LED PACKAGES FOR
ROAD VEHICLES – PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
1 Scope
This document is applicable to filament lamps, discharge lamps, LED light sources and LED
packages to be used in road vehicles, i.e. in headlamps, fog-lamps, signalling lamps and
interior lighting. It is especially applicable to those lamps and light sources which are listed in
IEC 60809.
It specifies requirements and test methods for the measurement of performance charac-
teristics such as lamp life, luminous flux maintenance, torsion strength, glass bulb strength
and resistance to vibration and shock. Moreover, information on temperature limits, maximum
lamp outlines and maximum tolerable voltage surges is given as guidance for lighting and
electrical equipment design.
For some of the requirements given in this document, reference is made to data given in
tables. For lamps not listed in such tables, the relevant data are supplied by the lamp
manufacturer or responsible vendor.
The performance requirements are additional to the basic requirements specified in
IEC 60809. They are, however, not intended to be used by authorities for legal type-approval
purposes.
NOTE 1 In the various vocabularies and standards, different terms are used for "incandescent lamp"
(IEC 60050-845:1987, 845-07-04) and "discharge lamp" (IEC 60050-845:1987, 845-07-17). In this document,
"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.
NOTE 2 This document does not apply to luminaires.
NOTE 3 In this document, the term LED light source is used, in other standards the term LED lamps can be used
to describe similar products.

LAMPS, LIGHT SOURCES AND LED PACKAGES FOR
ROAD VEHICLES – PERFORMANCE 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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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.
This consolidated version of the official IEC Standard and its amendments has been
prepared for user convenience.
IEC 60810 edition 5.2 contains the fifth edition (2017-09) [documents 34A/2021/FDIS and
34A/2033/RVD], its amendment 1 (2019-04) [documents 34A/2106/CDV and
34A/2129/RVC] and its amendment 2 (2022-04) [documents 34A/2272/FDIS and
34A/2277/RVD].
In this Redline version, a vertical line in the margin shows where the technical content
is modified by amendments 1 and 2. Additions are in green text, deletions are in
strikethrough red text. A separate Final version with all changes accepted is available
in this publication.

LAMPS, LIGHT SOURCES AND LED PACKAGES FOR
ROAD VEHICLES – PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
1 Scope
This document is applicable to filament lamps, discharge lamps, LED light sources and LED
packages to be used in road vehicles, i.e. in headlamps, fog-lamps, signalling lamps and
interior lighting. It is especially applicable to those lamps and light sources which are listed in
IEC 60809.
It specifies requirements and test methods for the measurement of performance charac-
teristics such as lamp life, luminous flux maintenance, torsion strength, glass bulb strength
and resistance to vibration and shock. Moreover, information on temperature limits, maximum
lamp outlines and maximum tolerable voltage surges is given as guidance for lighting and
electrical equipment design.
For some of the requirements given in this document, reference is made to data given in
tables. For lamps not listed in such tables, the relevant data are supplied by the lamp
manufacturer or responsible vendor.
The performance requirements are additional to the basic requirements specified in
IEC 60809. They are, however, not intended to be used by authorities for legal type-approval
purposes.
NOTE 1 In the various vocabularies and standards, different terms are used for "incandescent lamp"
(IEC 60050-845:1987, 845-07-04) and "discharge lamp" (IEC 60050-845:1987, 845-07-17). In this document,
"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.
NOTE 2 This document does not apply to luminaires.
NOTE 3 In this document, the term LED light source is used, in other standards the term LED lamps can be used
to describe similar products.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their
content constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition
cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including
any amendments) applies.

LAMPS, LIGHT SOURCES AND LED PACKAGES FOR
ROAD VEHICLES – PERFORMANCE 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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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.
This consolidated version of the official IEC Standard and its amendment has been
prepared for user convenience.
IEC 60810 edition 5.1 contains the fifth edition (2017-09) [documents 34A/2021/FDIS and
34A/2033/RVD] and its amendment 1 (2019-04) [documents 34A/2106/CDV and 34A/2129/
RVC].
In this Redline version, a vertical line in the margin shows where the technical content
is modified by amendment 1. Additions are in green text, deletions are in strikethrough
red text. A separate Final version with all changes accepted is available in
this publication.

International Standard IEC 60810 has been prepared by subcommittee 34A: Lamps, of IEC
technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This fifth edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) update and clarification of the title and scope;
b) introduction of new LED light sources;
c) introduction of requirements for LED light sources;
d) introduction of guidelines on LED package robustness validation for LED packages.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendment will
remain unchanged until the stability 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.
IMPORTANT – The 'colour inside' logo on the cover page of this publication indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct
understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a
colour printer.

LAMPS, LIGHT SOURCES AND LED PACKAGES FOR
ROAD VEHICLES – PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
1 Scope
This document is applicable to filament lamps, discharge lamps, LED light sources and LED
packages to be used in road vehicles, i.e. in headlamps, fog-lamps, signalling lamps and
interior lighting. It is especially applicable to those lamps and light sources which are listed in
IEC 60809.
It specifies requirements and test methods for the measurement of performance charac-
teristics such as lamp life, luminous flux maintenance, torsion strength, glass bulb strength
and resistance to vibration and shock. Moreover, information on temperature limits, maximum
lamp outlines and maximum tolerable voltage surges is given as guidance for lighting and
electrical equipment design.
For some of the requirements given in this document, reference is made to data given in
tables. For lamps not listed in such tables, the relevant data are supplied by the lamp
manufacturer or responsible vendor.
The performance requirements are additional to the basic requirements specified in
IEC 60809. They are, however, not intended to be used by authorities for legal type-approval
purposes.
NOTE 1 In the various vocabularies and standards, different terms are used for "incandescent lamp"
(IEC 60050-845:1987, 845-07-04) and "discharge lamp" (IEC 60050-845:1987, 845-07-17). In this document,
"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.
NOTE 2 This document does not apply to luminaires.
NOTE 3 In this document, the term LED light source is used, in other standards the term LED lamps can be used
to describe similar products.
