本规范为通用级子系统光源规范，规定了乘用车用气体放电光源（GDLS）子系统的试验要求。本测试规范的完整测试数据将由一级灯具制造商作为灯具组件PPAP的一部分提供给OEM。如果批准的GDL的任何部分出现设计、制造或部件变更，则需要重新测试。本文件适用于满足政府标准规定的设计、性能和验证要求的系统。该子系统被定义为镇流器、点火器和光源，应作为一个子系统进行测试，并在整个测试序列中视为一个测试样本。试样中任何部件的故障应构成整个试样的故障。试验期间，仅允许替换或更换光源。 在测试系统中，光源故障超过一次应构成GDLS故障。如果其他制造商的部件拟被批准用于GDLS，则这些可能的部件组合应被视为新的GDLS，并应进行测试。个别OEM可能需要进行额外测试，以满足特定的EMC、质量、可靠性和耐久性目标。以下试验应在以下条件下进行:新光源（胶囊）或镇流器设计或对现有胶囊或镇流器进行的工艺变更，可能会影响一个日历年的试验结果，如附录中“年度试验”表所示。（注:根据批准的控制计划以较短的时间间隔收集的生产过程控制数据，经客户负责工程师和采购代表批准后，可替换。 )

This specification is a general level subsystem light source specification that establishes test requirements of a Gas Discharge Light Source (GDLS) subsystem for use on passenger vehicles.The completed test data to this test specification is intended to be provided to the OEM by the Tier one lamp set maker as part of the lamp assembly PPAP. Re-testing shall be required if any portion of the approved GDLS experiences a design, manufacturing or component change.This document shall be applied to systems that meet the requirements for design, performance and validation established by government standards.The subsystem is defined as the ballast, igniter and light source and shall be tested as a subsystem and considered one test sample for the entire test sequence. A failure of any component in the test sample shall constitute a failure of the entire sample. Substitution or replacement of only the light source shall be allowed during testing. Failure of the light source more than once in a tested system shall constitute a failure of the GDLS. If other manufacture's components are intended to be approved for use in the GDLS, then those possible combinations of components shall be considered a new GDLS and shall also be tested.Additional testing may be required by individual OEM's to meet specific EMC, quality, reliability and durability objectives.The following tests are to be performed under the following conditions:New light source (capsule) or ballast designDesign or process change made to an existing capsule or ballast, which could affect the outcome of the testCompletion of one calendar year as noted in the "ANNUAL TESTS" Table shown in the Appendix. (Note: Production process control data, collected at a shorter interval per an approved control plan, may be substituted if approved by customer's responsible engineer and purchasing representative.)
