This certification mark can be applied to LED (Light Emitting Diode) module and package which can be used in various light source of vehicle.
LED is used not only for switch indicator, interior light, but also for headlamps, DRL(Daytime Running Light), fog-lamps, signalling lamps, Rear Combination Lamp that require elevated reliability. LED have higher efficiency and longer life-time compare to existing filament bulb and HID (High Intensity Discharge Lamp). Also, the size of light source is small so it gives more flexibility to lamp design.
LED used for vehicle requires high reliability and it needs to be stable in more harsh condition than general lighting. It can be assessed according to AEC Q102.
The testing item is LED package which using vehicle component (ex. LEDs of Interior light in car). This LED package will be performed test according AEC Q-102 and parts of UL 8750. Main standard AEC Q-102 consists of reliability testing.
Main testing of reliability testing are as below;
And parts of testing of UL 8750 are:
In conclusion, it is the evaluation and certification of the reliability test (verifies that the LED package can work well even in harsh environments).
The voluntary certification mark with the statement “Safety tested” is issued for products, indicating that the product was tested and certified by the independent third-party organisation of TÜV SÜD Product Service for conformity with the essential technical safety requirements.
Periodic surveillance and/or monitoring of the manufacture of a product constitutes the basic premise for certification that includes the award of a certification mark. Certification always requires product testing and regular factory inspections.
As a third-party expert organisation, TÜV SÜD Product Service verifies that the manufacturer is able to maintain consistent quality in line with the requirements throughout high-volume production and has established the necessary quality system, including incoming goods inspections, lists of materials and final product testing.
In addition, calibration of the necessary measuring and monitoring equipment must be ensured. Surveillance and/or monitoring covers the testing of safety-critical components and other materials used. If unauthorised changes are made to the product, the certificate will become invalid and the TÜV SÜD certification mark may no longer be used.
