Automotive Lighting: Testing and Requirements 1 Day | Classroom Seminar I.D.# C0618
It has not been commonly known that automotive exterior lights are safety devices and must comply with governmental regula- tions. Since the 1930s, the SAE Lighting Standards Committee has been actively working with the automotive industry OEMs, lamp makers, tier-two suppliers, and human factor experts to develop automotive lighting standards. These standards have been widely used or referenced by the U.S. federal or state governments in establishing and enforcing the lighting regulations. This seminar emphasizes the safety importance of automotive lighting devices and provides important information on lighting functions, standards or regulations, testing and evaluations. This course has been approved by the Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR) for 6 Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Upon completion of this seminar, accredited reconstructionists should mail a copy of their course certificate and the $5 student CEU fee to ACTAR, PO Box 1493, North Platte, NE 69103. Learning Objectives By attending this seminar, you will be able to: • Describe the legal aspects and implications related to automotive lighting • Search for and use the lighting related standards for all exterior lighting devices • Establish or assist with lighting tests and evaluations Who Should Attend Automotive engineers and product development personnel who are responsible for lighting design, manufacturing, quality assurance, installation, vehicle interface and integration will benefit from attending this seminar. Regulatory personnel who are involved with the legal specifications of automotive lighting and law enforcement agencies or individuals responsible for lighting regulations will find the information valuable and relevant as will testing engineers or technicians who are responsible for evaluating and verifying the compliance of lighting standards and regulations. Prerequisites Participants should have a technical background and some knowledge related to automotive lighting devices; an under- graduate engineering or related degree is preferred.
