Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to the design, manufacture, and acceptance of light-signalling devices for L1 to L5 category vehicles (motorcycles and mopeds). It covers front and rear position lamps, stop lamps, direction indicators, reversing lamps, and rear license plate illuminating devices. This standard is mandatory for all manufacturers targeting the Chinese motorcycle market.
Technical requirements
GB 17510-2025 specifies the type approval criteria and general requirements for motorcycle light-signalling devices. It introduces new regulations for devices with illuminated logos, sequential turn signals, and infrared radiation generators. The standard also defines specific design rules for mixed-function lamps, such as rear position lamps combined with stop lamps. The standard outlines strict photometric requirements for various lamp categories, including the newly added "D" type lamps and reversing lamps. It defines the minimum and maximum luminous intensity within specified photometric angle ranges. Additionally, it sets forth requirements for interdependent lamp systems and light source failure conditions to ensure safety. Regarding light sources, the standard mandates compliance with UN R37 or UN R128 for replaceable light sources. For non-replaceable light sources, such as LED modules, manufacturers must ensure anti-misoperation designs and proper electrical interfaces. The color and chromaticity of all devices must align with the referenced GB 4785 standard.
Testing methods
The standard details testing procedures within a controlled dark room environment with specific temperature and humidity conditions. Key evaluations include luminous intensity distribution measurements at various angles, chromaticity testing at the HV point, and specific voltage application methods for both replaceable and non-replaceable light sources. For non-filament sources like LEDs, tests measure luminous intensity stability at 1 minute and 10 or 30 minutes after illumination.
FAQs
