New Standard
BSR/UL 4700-202X, Standard for Safety for LiDAR and LiDAR Systems (new standard) Stakeholders: LiDAR and LiDAR Systems industry, automotive and trucking manufacturing industry, Autonomous products industry
Project Need: To obtain national recognition of a standard covering safety requirements of automotive LiDAR and LiDAR systems.>
These requirements will cover automotive LiDAR and LiDAR systems for use in vehicles as defined in this standard. The LiDAR and LiDAR systems’ ability to safely withstand simulated abuse conditions will be evaluated based upon the manufacturer’s specified parameters of use. The performance of these devices will not be evaluated. This standard includes requirements for the evaluation LiDAR and LiDAR systems concerning mechanical safety, electrica safety, laser safety, cybersecurity, and functional safety.
Directly and materially affected interests wishing to receive more information or to submit comments are requested to contact the standards developer directly within 30 days of the publication of this announcement. Claims of conflict or duplication should be communicated to the above contact by August 9, 2020.
