This Malaysian Standard is applicable to replaceable lamps (filament lamps and discharge lamps) 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, as well as for future developments, e.g. such where the light is produced by light emitting diodes (LED).
It specifies requirements and test methods for the measurement of performance characteristics
such as lamp life, lumen 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 for the guidance of lighting and
electrical equipment design.
For some of the requirements given in this standard, reference is made to data given in
tables. For lamps not listed in such tables, the relevant data are suppl
