Heavy Duty Lighting Standards Committee
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.
