Understanding ECE R112 Certification for KC Headlights

At KC HiLiTES, we strive to provide our customers with the highest quality vehicle lighting solutions. One common question we receive is about the ECE R112 certification for our headlamps. To help you understand what this certification means and why it’s important, we’ve put together this brief overview.

What is ECE R112 Certification?

The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) establishes ECE regulations to ensure vehicle lights meet stringent standards. These regulations are recognized in the European Union and other countries that adopt ECE standards, ensuring that vehicle lights are compliant and safe for use on public roads.

ECE R112 certification specifically applies to high-beam and auxiliary headlamps. This certification guarantees that the lamps have undergone rigorous testing to meet the necessary safety and performance criteria.

Certification Process

To achieve ECE R112 certification, headlamps must pass a series of comprehensive tests. These tests ensure the reliability, durability, and safety of the lamps, covering the following aspects:

1. Lens Scratch Resistance: This test ensures the lens can withstand scratches and continue to function effectively.
2. On/Off Switching: Reliability is crucial, so this test assesses the lamp’s ability to turn on and off consistently.
3. Thermal Endurance: Headlamps must operate under various temperature conditions without failing, which is tested through thermal endurance assessments.
4. Minimum and Maximum Light Output: This ensures the lamp provides sufficient illumination without being too dim or excessively bright.
5. Lens Breakability: The durability of the lens under impact is tested to ensure it doesn’t break easily.
6. Heat Resistance: This test checks the lamp’s functionality under high temperatures, ensuring it won’t fail due to heat.
