ECE homologation
Philips automotive products and services are

Equipment Manufacturer market and the
aftermarket. Manufactured from high-quality
products and tested to the highest
specifications, our products are designed to
maximise the safety and comfort of our
customers' driving experience. Our entire
product range is thoroughly tested, controlled
and certified (ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and QSO
9000) to the highest ECE requirements. Put
simply, this is quality you can trust.
High quality and visibility
VisionPlus provides you with a better reactivity
thanks to an earlier recognition of obstacles
and traffic signs. Brake lighting is also visible
earlier, thanks to a more powerful light output.
Drivers can reduce their braking distance by up
to 3 metres at 100 km/h. Light is a
fundamental part of the driving experience and
light is the first and only part of the safety
circle that actually helps prevent accidents.
High-quality quartz glass
UV-quartz glass is stronger than hard glass and
highly resistant to temperature extremes and
vibrations, which eliminates the risk of
explosion. Philips quartz-glass lamps (filament
2 650ºC and glass 800ºC) are able to
withstand severe thermal shock. With the
capability of increased pressure inside the
lamp, UV-quartz glass is able to produce a
more powerful light
Resistance to humidity
Only a burning bulb made of quartz glass
(filament 2650°c, glass 800°c) can resist
thermal shocks: if a drop of cold water touches
the hot bulb, which can happen when you
drive through water with a broken headlight
unit.
