This SAE Recommended Practice provides standardized laboratory tests, test methods, and performance requirements applicable to signal and marking devices used on vehicles 2032 mm or more in overall width.
Rationale
Document was modified by SAE Staff to bring it up to date with SAE practices for abbreviations, document names, addresses and etc.
Changed 2.1 title to Applicable “Documents” per SAE Editorial review
Moved Reference for SAE J578 Color to Related Documents because it is not mentioned in the standard
Added SAE J2721 Recommended Corrosion Test Methods for Commercial Vehicle Components to section 2.1.1
Added Section 2.1.3 for ISO documents
Created Section 2.2 Related Documents
Created Section 2.2.1 SAE Publications
Moved all SAE related documents relevant to the standard but not referenced in the standard to section 2.2.1
Modified 3.8 to “A lighting device which does not allow the passage of gas or water between the interior environment and the exterior environment per SAE Editorial review
4.2 Changed name of section to Moisture Intrusion Tests
Added statement in 4.2 - Choose one or more of the following tests in sections 4.2.1, 4.2.2 or 4.2.3 based on product application and with agreement between the manufacturer and customer
Removed sentence in 4.2.1 - Devices tested to 4.2.2 and complying with 5.2.2 of this document can be excluded from this test
Removed Section 4.2.1.2.5 - 5 minute operation of lamp during test. The committee consensus was that it was not adding any relevance to the test and removing it would make it consistent with J575. Renumbered remaining section
Added Section 4.2.3 IP rated Sealing test
Changed title of 4.3 to Dust Integrity Tests
Added statement in 4.3 - Choose one or more of the following tests in sections 4.3.1 or 4.3.2 4.2.3 based on product application and with agreement between the manufacturer and customer
Removed Statement from section 4.3 Devices tested to 4.2.2 and complying with 5.2.2 of this document can be excluded from this test.
Changed 4.3.1 to SAE Dust Tests and renumbered section to reflect that change
Changed Section 4.3.2 to IP Rated dust Test
Removed Section 4.3.2.8 - 5 minute operation of lamp during test. The committee consensus was that it was not adding any relevance to the test and removing it would make it consistent with J575. Renumbered remaining section
Removed Section 4.4.2.5 - 5 minute operation of lamp during test. The committee consensus was that it was not adding any relevance to the test and removing it would make it consistent with J575.
Added section 4.4.3 Additional Corrosion Testing
Added section 4.5.3 Testing Procedures for LED based lighting
Eliminated use of oven in Section 4.6 similar to what was done in J575
Added section 5.5.2 Testing procedure for LED based lighting
Changed wording in 5.8.2 to be more clear – remain was changed to become
The Heavy-Duty Lighting Standards Committee is part of the Lighting Systems Group under the leadership of the Lighting Systems Steering Committee that reports to the Motor Vehicle Council (MVC). The Committee is responsible for developing and maintaining SAE Standards, Recommended Practices, and Information Reports related to lamps, reflective devices and associated safety equipment for multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, trailers and buses of 2032 mm or more in overall width. Heavy-duty lighting technical standards developed by this committee are essentially patterned after the corresponding lighting device standards for vehicles less than 2032 mm in overall width, but with unique environmental and physical attributes of the Heavy duty trucking market in mind. Participants in the SAE Heavy-Duty Lighting Standards Committee include OEMs, suppliers, consulting firms, government, and other interested parties.
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A redline comparison of the current version against a revision is accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.

SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
