Headlamp Standards

This SAE Recommended Practice is intended as a guide toward standard practice and is subject to change to keep pace with experience and technical advances. This document establishes performance requirements and guidelines for coating materials and plastic substrate testing.

This SAE Standard provides test methods, performance requirements, installation requirements, and guidelines for snowmobile headlamps.

Headlamps should illuminate the traffic scene ahead of the vehicle in such a way that the driver can operate the vehicle safely and in a relaxed manner. At the same time, negative effects on drivers of other vehicles, pedestrians and other people should be minimized. Various technical...

This SAE Recommended Practice provides test procedures, performance requirements, and guidelines for cleaners intended for use on motor vehicles.

1.1 This practice provides a framework to evaluate retroreflective sheeting performance in nighttime driving conditions without a need for field evaluations through a set of sign viewing scenarios representing common use-cases. The evaluation of performance of a specific sheeting is achieved by...

5.1 This practice describes procedures used to measure photometric quantities that relate to the visual perception of retroreflected light. The most significant usage is in the relation to the nighttime vehicle headlamp, retroreflector, and driver's eye geometry. For this reason the CIE...

This SAE Standard provides test procedures and performance requirements for off-highway vehicle headlamps.

Scope. This standard establishes, unless otherwise specified, the minimum requirements for engineering acceptance for the operation, performance, and reliability of what is commonly termed as the seven (7) inch round Forward Lighting Driving Headlamp, for military vehicles, with Light...

5.1 Measurements made by this test method are related to visual observations of retroreflective sheeting as seen by the human eye when illuminated by tungsten-filament light sources such as a motor vehicle headlamp. 5.2 The values determined relate to the visual effects for a given geometric...

5.1 This practice describes a procedure for measuring the chromaticity of retroreflectors in a nighttime, that is, retroreflective, geometry of illumination and observation. CIE Standard Source A has been chosen to represent a tungsten automobile headlamp. Although the geometry must be...

This document specifies general requirements and test methods for portable dental equipment for use in non-permanent healthcare environments. Portable dental equipment within the scope of this document includes portable dental units, portable patient chairs, portable operator's stools, portable...

Purpose. This standard defines an assessment and standardizes the test methodology for validation performed by experts regarding performance of Headlamp Cleaning Systems. It does not replace regular test and validation work covered by other standards. This work includes a complete subjective...

This document specifies general requirements and test methods for portable dental equipment for use in non-permanent healthcare environments. Portable dental equipment within the scope of this document includes portable dental units, portable patient chairs, portable operator's stools, portable...

This document specifies general requirements and test methods for portable dental equipment for use in non-permanent healthcare environments. Portable dental equipment within the scope of this document includes portable dental units, portable patient chairs, portable operator's stools, portable...

Purpose. This standard stipulates the requirements, test conditions and test procedures for function, material and durability testing of nozzle jets, as well as nozzle jets with telescopic drives, used in vehicles with high pressure headlamp washer systems (referred to as nozzles or drives).

This SAE Standard provides test procedures, performance requirements, design guidelines, and installation guidelines for motorcycle headlamps.

This Approved Method describes photometric testing procedures and reporting guidelines for reflector type lamps and LED based lamps that mimic this traditional style of lamp. The application of the described procedures and guidelines will improve reproducibility within a laboratory, and will...

5.1 The chromaticity of the stripe is determined by means of the tristimulus values X, Y and Z for the CIE 1931 (2°) standard observer for CIE standard illuminant A, which are converted to the chromaticity coordinates (x, y) and shown in the CIE 1931 (x, y)-chromaticity diagram. Refer to Practice...

Material Description. This specification covers the properties of a glass fiber reinforced, heat stabilized, pellet form, injection molding grade, Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) polyester and Polycarbonate (PC) blend. Symbols. The material abbreviations according to ISO 11469 are shown in Table 1...

Material Description. This specification details the requirements and properties of Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) silicone rubber compositions that are suitable for use as supplied as an adhesive or sealer. Uses include polycarbonate lens to reflectors (e.g., in composite headlamps),...
