Automotive Lighting & Sensors

The automotive lighting industry is extremely innovative and headlamps and signalling lamps have become increasingly complex. Advanced Front Lighting Systems (AFS), Adaptive Driving Beams (ADB), LEDs, matrix beams, and Pulse-Width Modulation are common and optional or standard on most motor vehicles. Your lighting and signalling products must meet the legal requirements for several markets. This includes headlamps, rear combination lamps, retroreflectors (or reflex reflectors), and their replaceable light sources. This also includes rear marking plates, contour marking for trucks, and tractors and trailers containing retroreflective and fluorescent materials. In addition, it includes red, yellow, and blue warning lamps and beacons and flash lights used on special and emergency vehicles. The DEKRA testing laboratories hold the required accreditations to demonstrate compliance with the standards of any market.
  • Material Analysis
    Determination of the chemical composition of metallic materials (spectral analysis, CS combustion)
  • Night-vision assist
    Monitors the road with an infrared camera and reveals obstacles
  • Lighting assist
    Light is adapted to the environment so as to offer good vision
  • Approval on the Chinese Market
    Complete support for application of the CCC-mark, China Compulsory Certification mark issued by CQC
  • Approval on the Indian Market
    E.g. by ICAT and ARAI (Pune), Factory audit and type approval testing, Requirements in AIS Standards, Witness testing by ICAT or ARAI
  • Spectroradiometer-applications
