This document is applicable to electric light sources (see Note 1) for use in automotive applications, for example in road illumination devices andlor light signalling devices for road vehicles.
It is especially applicable to light sources listed in UN Resolution R.E.5 and light sources subject to other legislations.
This document specifies the technical requirements for interchangeability for example dimensional, electrical and photometrical characteristics, and includes test methods.
For the light sources listed in this document, the data sheets are contained either in this document or are included by reference to UN Resolution R.E.5.
Performance requirements are specified in IEC 60810. for example life, torsion strength, resistance to vibration and shock.
