SANS 20210 Lighting Equipment Type Approval Testing

The SANS 20210 standard is a key requirement for automotive lighting equipment manufacturers aiming to ensure compliance with international safety and performance standards. This testing service covers the entire process of type approval, ensuring that your products meet stringent requirements before they reach the market.

Our state-of-the-art facilities allow us to perform comprehensive tests on various components and assemblies of automotive lighting systems. From headlamps to taillights, our experts ensure that each part undergoes rigorous scrutiny against international standards such as SANS 20210, ISO 7398, and IEC 60945.

Our testing process begins with a thorough review of your product design documentation. This helps us understand the intended use and performance requirements of the lighting equipment. Next, we prepare the specimens according to industry best practices, ensuring that they accurately represent the final products you wish to type approve.

The actual testing involves multiple phases, including electrical safety checks, optical characteristics assessment, and environmental stress tests. We employ advanced instruments like oscilloscopes, photometers, and climatic chambers to gather precise data on light output, color consistency, and resistance against extreme conditions such as temperature fluctuations and humidity.

Once the testing is complete, our experienced engineers analyze all collected data and compare it with the specified requirements outlined in SANS 20210. If any discrepancies are found, we work closely with you to identify root causes and suggest necessary modifications until full compliance is achieved.

The final step of this service is issuing a comprehensive report detailing all test results along with recommendations for future improvements if needed. This report serves as proof that your lighting equipment meets the highest safety and quality standards demanded by regulatory bodies worldwide.
