IEC 60810:2014 is applicable to lamps (filament lamps, discharge lamps and LED light sources) to be used in headlamps, fog-lamps and signalling lamps for road vehicles. It is especially applicable to those lamps which are listed in IEC 60809. However, the standard may also be used for other lamps falling under the scope of this standard. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition, published in 2003, its Amendments 1 (2008) and 2 (2013). This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) introduction of new gas discharge light sources;
b) introduction of requirements for non-replaceable filament lamps;
c) introduction of requirements and test conditions for LED packages.
