This standard provides test methods and requirements for snowmobile headlamps.
Rationale
Today’s manufacturing technology has developed to the state of the art to allow increases in photometric capability. This capability and the state of manufacturing indicates that the minimum high beam candlepower consistantly produces over 12 000 candela and more than 18 000 candelas. Owing to this fact, the minimum candela at ½ down in the photometric Table 1 – Upper Beam, has been raised to 18 000 candelas minimum.
The section reference numbers to the required SAE J575 tests have been renumbered to agree with the latest J575 numbers. Due to this document being widely used as an industry standard, it has been raised to an SAE standard.
The majority of testing laboratories photometer at 100 ft (30.5 m). To accommodate this, the test distance is changed to a minimum distance of 60 ft (18.3 m).
The Snowmobile Technical Committee develops and maintains SAE Standards, Recommended Practices, and Information Reports related to snowmobiles and their components or systems. The committee also maintains liaison with groups such as the Snowmobile Safety and Certification Committee, Inc. (SSCC), Transport Canada, the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), SAE-related committees and other organizations as necessary. Participants in the SAE Snowmobile Technical 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.

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.
