IEC 60969:2001 pdf free download Self-ballasted lamps for general lighting services – Performance requirements
1 Scope
This standard specifies the performance requirements together with the test methods and conditions required to show compliance of tubular fluorescent and other gas-discharge lamps with integrated means for controlling starting and stable operation (self-ballasted lamps) intended for domestic and similar general lighting purposes having:
– a rated wattage up to 60 W;
– a rated voltage of 1 00 V to 250 V;
– Edison screw or bayonet caps.
The requirements of this standard relate only to type testing.
Recommendations for whole product testing or batch testing are under consideration.
These performance requirements are additional to the requirements in IEC 60968.
2 Definitions
2.1
self-ballasted lamp
a unit which cannot be dismantled without being permanently damaged, provided with a lamp cap and incorporating a light source and any additional elements necessary for starting and for stable operation of the light source
2.2
type
lamps that, independent of the type of cap or base, are identical in photometric and electrical rating
2.3
rated voltage
the voltage or voltage range marked on the lamp
2.4
test voltage
the voltage at which tests are carried out
2.5
rated wattage
the wattage marked on the lamp
2.6
rated frequency
the frequency marked on the lamp or declared as such by the manufacturer or responsiblevendor
2.7
rated luminous flux
the flux marked on the lamp or declared as such by the manufacturer or responsible vendor
2.8
lumen maintenance
the luminous flux at a given time in the life of a lamp divided by the initial value of theluminous flux of the lamp and expressed as a percentage of the initial luminous flux
2.9
initial values
the photometric and electrical characteristics at the end of the 100 h ageing period
2.10
life (of an individual lamp)
the length of time during which a complete lamp operates to burn-out or to any other criterionof life performance laid down in this standard
2.11
average life (life to 50 % failures)
the length of time during which 50 % of the lamps reach the end of their individual lives
2.12
rated average life (rated life to 50 % failures)
the life declared by the manufacturer or responsible vendor as being the expected time atwhich 50 % of any large number of lamps reach the end of their individual lives
2.13
colour
the colour characteristics of a lamp are defined by the colour appearance and the colourrendition
a) The actual colour of the lamp is called colour appearance and is defined in terms of thespectral tristimulus values (colour co-ordinates) according to the recommendations ofthe clE.
b) The spectral characteristics of the light emitted by the lamp have an effect on the appearance of the objects it illuminates; this effect is called colour rendition.
2.14
rated colour
the colour appearance as declared by the manufacturer or responsible vendor,or the colourcorresponding to the colour designation marked on the lamp
