IEC 62560 pdf download.Self-ballasted LED-lamps for general lighting services by voltage > 50 V – Safety specifications
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the safety and interchangeability requirements, together with the test methods and conditions required to show compliance of LED-lamps with integrated means for stable operation (self-ballasted LED-lamps), intended for domestic and similar general lighting purposes, having: – a rated wattage up to 60 W; – a rated voltage of > 50 V up to 250 V; – caps according to Table 1 . The requirements of this standard relate only to type testing. Recommendations for whole product testing or batch testing are identical to those given in Annex C of IEC 62031 . NOTE Where in this standard the term “lamp(s)” is used, it is understood to stand for “self-ballasted LED- lamp(s)”, except where it is obviously assigned to other types of lamps.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions of IEC/TS 62504 (in preparation), IEC 62031 and the following apply. 3.1 self-ballasted LED-lamp unit which cannot be dismantled without being permanently damaged, provided with a lamp cap and incorporating a LED light source and any additional elements necessary for stable operation of the light source NOTE Lamp caps are given in IEC 60061 -1 . 3.2 rated voltage voltage or voltage range marked on the lamp 3.3 rated wattage wattage marked on the lamp 3.4 rated frequency frequency marked on the lamp 3.5 cap temperature rise Δt s surface temperature rise (above ambient) of a standard test lampholder fitted to the lamp, when measured in accordance with the standard method, in case of an Edison screw cap or a bayonet cap NOTE The standard method for Edison screw cap or bayonet cap is that given in IEC 60360. 3.6 live part conductive part which may cause an electric shock in normal use 3.7 type lamps that have an identical electrical rating and a similar cap 3.8 type test test or series of tests made on a type test sample for the purpose of checking compliance of the design of a given product with the requirements of the relevant standard 3.9 type test sample sample consisting of one or more similar units submitted by the manufacturer or responsible vendor for the purpose of the type test
4 General requirements and general test requirements
4.1 The lamps shall be so designed and constructed that in normal use they function reliably and cause no danger to the user or surroundings. In general, compliance is checked by carrying out all the tests specified. 4.2 Self-ballasted LED-lamps are non-repairable, factory-sealed units. They shall normally not be opened for any tests. In the case of doubt based on the inspection of the lamp and the examination of the circuit diagram, and in agreement with the manufacturer or responsible vendor, either the output terminals shall be short-circuited or, in agreement with the manufacturer, lamps specially prepared so that a fault condition can be simulated shall be submitted for testing (see Clause 1 3).4.3 In general, all tests are carried out on each type of lamp or, where a range of similar lamps is involved, for each wattage in the range or on a representative selection from the range, as agreed with the manufacturer. 4.4 When the lamp fails safely during one of the tests, it is replaced, provided that no fire, smoke or flammable gas is produced. Further requirements on failing safe are given in Clause 1 2.
5 Marking
5.1 Lamps shall be clearly and durably marked with the following mandatory markings: a) mark of origin (this may take the form of a trademark, the manufacturer’s name or the name of the responsible vendor); b) rated voltage or voltage range (marked “V” or “volts”); c) rated wattage (marked “W” or “watts”); d) rated frequency (marked in “Hz”). 5.2 In addition, the following information shall be given by the lamp manufacturer on the lamp or immediate lamp wrapping or container or in installation instructions. a) Burning position, if restricted, shall be marked with the appropriate symbol. Symbol examples are shown in Annex B. b) rated current (marked “A” or “ampere”); c) “For lamps with a weight significantly higher than that of the lamps for which they are a replacement, attention should be drawn to the fact that the increased weight may reduce the mechanical stability of certain luminaires and lampholders and may impair contact making and lamp retention.”
