Overview
IEC 60810:2003/AMD1:2008 is an amendment to the international standard IEC 60810, which specifies performance requirements for lamps used in road vehicles. Published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this 2008 amendment updates guidance on the use, handling, and safety of both halogen filament lamps and discharge lamps commonly employed in automotive lighting systems.
The amendment introduces new symbols and instructions intended to improve user safety and lamp reliability, fostering consistent application across the automotive lighting industry. It serves as an essential reference for manufacturers, designers, and safety regulators involved in the development and deployment of vehicle lighting solutions.
Key Topics
- Performance Requirements Update: Reinforces and clarifies lamp performance criteria under operational conditions, ensuring durability and functionality in road vehicle applications.
- Handling and Use Instructions:
- Updated guidance on safe handling for halogen filament lamps and discharge lamps.
- Emphasis on correct use to prevent damage and maximize lamp lifespan.
- New Safety Symbol System:
- Introduction of graphical symbols as alternatives or complements to textual instructions.
- Symbols cover aspects such as:
- High operating temperatures,
- Avoiding direct bulb contact,
- Use of protective gloves and eye protection,
- Avoidance of damaged bulbs,
- Power-off before handling,
- UV radiation emission,
- Use within luminaires with protective shields,
- Warning of dangerous voltage.
- Design Recommendations:
- Annex F provides guidance for equipment manufacturers on labeling and instruction presentation.
- Visual and Textual Information:
- Standardizes minimum symbol sizes for clear visibility (minimum 5 mm height for symbols and 2 mm for letters).
Applications
The amendment is vital for a variety of stakeholders in the road vehicle lighting domain:
- Automotive Lamp Manufacturers: Ensures compliance with global safety and performance standards, integrating updated symbols and instructions into product design, packaging, and manuals.
- Automotive Designers and Engineers: Facilitates the incorporation of lamps that meet stringent performance and safety criteria, enhancing vehicle lighting reliability and user safety.
- Safety Inspectors and Regulatory Authorities: Provides standard benchmarks to verify manufacturer claims and enforce safety compliance throughout the supply chain.
- Service and Maintenance Professionals: Enhances understanding of proper lamp handling and replacement procedures to prevent injuries and equipment damage.
- End Users and Consumers: Improves awareness through recognizable symbols, assisting in safe use and handling of vehicle lamps.
Related Standards
IEC 60810 Amendment 1 complements and interacts with a range of related international standards in electrical and automotive lighting technology, including but not limited to:
- IEC 34 (Lamps and Related Equipment) - parent committee standards defining general lamp characteristics and requirements.
- ISO 6742 (Lighting and Light-Signalling Devices for Vehicles) - focusing on photometric and signaling performance.
- IEC 60598 (Luminaires) - covering requirements for luminaires that house vehicle lamps.
- Electropedia terms and definitions - harmonizing terminology used across electrical and electronic standards worldwide.
These standards collectively support harmonization of road vehicle lighting performance, safety, and interoperability internationally.
