   2.   ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
   2.1.   Definitions
   2.1.1.   Definition of ‘category’
   The term ‘category’ is used in this Regulation to describe different basic design of standardised LED light sources. Each category has a specific designation as for example: ‘LW1’, ‘LY2’, ‘LR2’.
   2.1.2.   Definition of ‘type’
   LED light sources of different ‘types’ are LED light sources within the same category which differ in such essential respects as:
   
               2.1.2.1.
            
            
               Trade name or mark;
               LED light sources bearing the same trade name or mark but produced by different manufacturers are considered as being of different types. LED light sources produced by the same manufacturer differing only by the trade name or mark may be considered to be of the same type.
            
         
               2.1.2.2.

            Failure condition behaviour
      In case of LED light source failure (no light emitted) the maximum current draw – when operated within the input voltage range in major function mode – operation shall be less than 20 mA (open circuit condition).
      Screen projection requirements
      The following test is intended to define the requirements for the apparent light emitting area of the LED light source and to determine whether the light emitting area is correctly positioned relative to the reference axis and reference plane in order to check compliance with the requirements.
      The position of the light emitting area is checked by the box system defined in Figure 3, which shows the projections when viewing along direction γ = 90° in the planes C90 and C180 (C, γ as defined in Figure 4). At least 95 per cent of the luminous flux emitted into the viewing direction has to come from the trapezoidal area defined by d1, d2 and c. Less than 70 per cent of the luminous flux shall be emitted from the rectangular area defined by d3 and c.

            Normalised luminous intensity distribution
      The following test is intended to determine the normalised luminous intensity distribution of the light source in an arbitrary plane containing the reference axis. The intersection of the reference axis and the upper edge of the box is used as the coordinate system origin.
      The light source is mounted on a flat plate with the corresponding mounting lug features. The plate is mounted to the goniometer table by a bracket, so that the reference axis of the light source lines up with one of the rotating axis of the goniometer. The corresponding measurement set-up is described in Figure 4.

         Set-up to measure the luminous intensity distribution
      
      
         
      Luminous intensity data is recorded for the major function with a standard photo-goniometer. The measurement distance should be chosen appropriately, to make sure that the detector is located in the far field of the light distribution.
      The measurements shall be performed in 3 C-planes, which contain the reference axis of the light source. The 3 C-planes shall be within C30 and C330 to avoid the connector shadows and they have to be at least 30° apart from each other. The test points for each plane for multiple polar angles γ are specified in Table 3.
      After measurement the data shall be normalised to 1 000 lm according to paragraph 3.1.11 using the luminous flux of the individual light source under test. The data shall comply with the tolerance band as defined in Table 3.
      C-planes: see CIE publication 70-1987, ‘The measurement of absolute intensity distributions’.

      Cumulative luminous flux distribution
      Measurement set-up
      This test is intended to determine the cumulative luminous flux within defined solid angles of the luminous intensity distribution.
      Goniophotometers of type I or II according to CIE publication No 70 -1987 with the capability of turning the light source around two axes perpendicular to the axis of light emission can be used. The intersection of the reference axis and the parallel plane to the reference plane in distance e is used as the coordinate system origin.

         Set-up to measure the luminous intensity distribution using a type I photogoniometer
      
      
         
      The light source is mounted on a flat plate with the corresponding mounting lug features. The plate is mounted to the goniometer table by a bracket in such way, that the reference axis of the light source lines up with the measurement axis of the goniometer. The corresponding measurement set-up is described in Figure 4.

      Cumulative luminous flux distribution
      Measurement and calculation procedure
      Data shall be recorded for the specified base temperature Tb from Table 1 at the location shown in Fig. 5.
      Luminous intensity distribution data shall be recorded within a solid angle of -40° < α < +40° and -40° < β < +40°. The measurement distance shall be chosen in such manner that the detector is located in the far field of the light distribution. An angular step size of 1° or less is required.
      After the measurement, the cumulative luminous flux distribution shall be calculated from the recorded data for various solid angles as specified in Table 3 according to CIE publication 84-1989, Section 4.3. Subsequently, the distribution shall be normalised to the total luminous flux determined for -40° < α < +40° and -40° < β < +40. The data shall comply with the tolerance band defined in Table 3.
      In order to secure a symmetrical distribution within each solid angle in Table 3 the luminous flux determination shall be done independently for all 4 quadrants and flux values shall not differ by more than 15 %.

            The cumulative luminous flux distribution of the minor function may be verified by measuring the ratio of major and minor function under a fixed angle and multiplication of this factor with the luminous flux of the major function.
      In case of doubt that cumulative luminous flux distributions of major and minor function differ, the procedure as described above for the major function shall be repeated for the minor function.

      The LW2 thermal interface is located within the reference plane (shaded area in Figure 5) and described in detail in IEC Publication 60061 as indicated in Table 1 on sheet LW2/1. It shall be attached to an appropriate heat sink or thermal management system.
      The luminous flux given in Table 1 shall be achieved once the base temperature Tb measured at the location shown in Figure 5 is stabilised.

         MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES BY THE MANUFACTURER
      
      1.   General
      The conformity requirements shall be considered satisfied from a photometric, geometrical, visual and electrical standpoint if the specified tolerances for production LED light sources in the relevant data sheet of Annex 1 and the relevant data sheet for the caps are met.
      2.   Minimum requirements for verification of conformity by the manufacturer
      For each type of LED light source the manufacturer or the holder of the approval mark shall carry out tests, in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation, at appropriate intervals.
      2.1.   Nature of tests
      Tests of conformity of these specifications shall cover their photometric, geometrical and optical characteristics.
      2.2.   Methods used in tests
      
               
                  2.2.1.
               
               
                  Tests shall generally be carried out in accordance with the methods set out in this Regulation.
               
            
               
                  2.2.2.
               
               
                  The application of paragraph 2.2.1 of this annex requires regular calibration of test apparatus and its correlation with measurements made by a competent authority.
               
            2.3.   Nature of sampling
      Samples of LED light sources shall be selected at random from the production of a uniform batch. A uniform batch means a set of LED light sources of the same type, defined according to the production methods of the manufacturer.
      2.4.   Inspected and recorded characteristics
      The LED light sources shall be inspected and test results recorded following the grouping of characteristics as listed in Annex 6, Table 1.
      2.5.   Criteria governing acceptability
      The manufacturer or the holder of approval is responsible for carrying out a statistical study of the test results in order to meet the specifications laid down for verification of conformity of production in paragraph 4.1 of this Regulation.
      Compliance shall be assured if the level of acceptable non-compliance per grouping of characteristics given in Table 1 of Annex 6 is not exceeded. This means that the number of LED light sources not complying with the requirement for any grouping of characteristics of any LED light sources type does not exceed the qualifying limits in the relevant Tables 2, 3 or 4 of Annex 6.
      
         Note: Each individual LED light source requirement shall be considered as a characteristic.

         MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR SPOT CHECKS BY THE TYPE APPROVAL AUTHORITY
      
      1.   General
      The conformity requirements shall be considered satisfied from a photometric, geometrical, visual and electrical standpoint if the specified tolerances for production LED light sources in the relevant data sheet of Annex 1 and the relevant data sheet for the caps are met.
      2.   The conformity of mass-produced LED light sources shall not be contested if the results are in agreement with Annex 8 to this Regulation.
      3.   Conformity shall be contested and the manufacturer requested to make the production meet the requirements if the results are not in agreement with Annex 8 to this Regulation.
      4.   If paragraph 3 of this annex is applied, a further sample of 250 LED light sources, selected at random from a recent production run, shall be taken within two months.
   
   
      ANNEX 8
      
         COMPLIANCE APPROVED BY SPOT CHECK
      
      Compliance approved or disapproved shall be decided according to the values in Table 1. For each grouping of characteristics LED light sources shall be either accepted or rejected according to the values in Table 1 (*).
