This document specifies the photometric and performance tests for headlamps used on railway vehicles. Unlike automotive headlamp standards (like ECE R112 for cars), railway headlamps operate under unique conditions: longer stopping distances, high vibration environments, dust, extreme weather, and the need for specific beam patterns that illuminate the track without blinding oncoming train drivers.
