Transport Canada has moved to allow U.S.-specification adaptive driving beam systems in Canada. The newly-released Revision 8 of TSD 108 now includes the ADB design, construction, performance, and testing requirements from U.S. FMVSS 108, so vehicles can be sold with U.S. ADB in Canada.
The U.S. specification is the latest ADB standard to be recognized in Canada; rest-of-world UN/ECE R123 + R48 ADB is permitted (as this DVNewsletter goes live, we do not know if or when this reference will be updated to include R149). And SAE J3069 is also recognized; Canada might be the world’s only country to do so. Several high-volume vehicle models have been available for some years in Canada with J3069 ADB.
