LED modules for general lighting - Performance requirements

IEC 62717:2014 specifies the performance requirements for LED modules, together with the test methods and conditions, required to show compliance with this standard. This first edition cancels and replaces IEC PAS 62717 published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC PAS 62717: - all terms and definitions are aligned with IEC 62504 and relevant documents of CIE. For example, general terms like "rated value" are shifted to IEC 62504. - a statement on the applicability on a population is included. - the normative references are completed and cleaned from standards that are not in use. - with regard to EMC, references to harmonic currents are given. - the change, which has an effect on most parts of the standard, is the split of failure mechanisms into abrupt failures and luminous flux depreciation. Consequently, new terms and definitions, new requirements for lumen maintenance and a complete new structure and contents of Annex C are introduced. - transition from tpmax to tprated is made, with the background that there is not one tpmax, but a choice of tp(rated) values, in combination with lifetime. - places where to mark (product, packaging, data sheets) are changed, and as a consequence of the split of failure mechanisms, new parameters are listed. Further, changes in the endurance test (ramping speed of temperature) are reflected in marking. - the concept of displacement factor instead of power factor is introduced. This led to new definitions, requirements and Annexes E and F. - the requirements on luminous efficacy are changed. - the requirements, associated with the family concept are reviewed. - statistics, based on confidence intervals are removed. This concerns requirements and limits for LED module power and luminous flux and deletion of Annex E. - new requirements for lumen maintenance are introduced. - as part of the endurance test, the maximum light decrease after accelerated operation life test is now fixed. - with regard to the discussion on type test and sample size, the number of pieces in a test sample is drastically reduced, see Table 7. - Annex A on measuring methods is completely restructured and reviewed, for example for ambient temperature and for shortening of stabilisation time when conducting subsequent light output measurements. - for electrical characteristics, the ageing time may be chosen as 500 h. - for photometric data file formats, reference is given to IEC 62722-1. - mistakes in the photometric code (Annex D) are corrected. - Annex G on optimised test duration is removed; instead, an INF sheet shall be published. - from the luminaire standard, a new Annex H on "Test equipment for temperature measurement" is taken over. - finally, the Bibliography is updated.

Modules de LED pour éclairage général - Exigences de performance

L'IEC 62717:2014 spécifie les exigences de performance pour les modules de LED, ainsi que les méthodes et les conditions d'essai, nécessaires pour démontrer la conformité à la présente norme. Cette première édition annule et remplace l'IEC PAS 62717 paru en 2011. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'IEC PAS 62717: - tous les termes et définitions sont alignés avec l'IEC 62504 et les documents pertinents de la CIE. Par exemple, les termes généraux comme "valeur nominale" sont décalés par rapport à l'IEC 62504; - une déclaration sur l'applicabilité d'une population est incluse; - les références normatives sont complétées et nettoyées des normes qui ne sont pas en usage; - en ce qui concerne la CEM, les références aux courants harmoniques sont données; - le changement, qui a un effet sur la plupart des parties de la norme, est la scission du mécanisme de défaillance sur les défaillances brutales et la baisse du flux lumineux. Par conséquent, de nouveaux termes et définitions, de nouvelles exigences pour la conservation du flux lumineux, une nouvelle structure complète et le contenu de l'annexe C sont introduits; - la transition de tpmax à tprated est faite, avec le fond qu'il n'y a pas un tpmax, mais un choix de tp (classé) des valeurs, en rapport avec la durée de vie; - les endroits où marquer (produits, emballages, feuilles de données) sont modifiés, en conséquence de la scission des mécanismes de défaillance, de nouveaux paramètres sont répertoriés. En outre, les changements dans l'essai d'endurance (vitesse de montée en température) sont pris en compte dans le marquage; - la notion de facteur de déplacement à la place du facteur de puissance est introduite. Cela a conduit à de nouvelles définitions, des exigences et les Annexes E et F; - les exigences en matière d'efficacité lumineuse sont modifiées; - les exigences associées à la notion de famille sont passés en revue; - les statistiques, basées sur des intervalles de confiance sont supprimés. Cela concerne les exigences et les limites de la puissance du module LED et du flux lumineux ainsi que la suppression de l'Annexe E; - de nouvelles exigences relatives à la conservation du flux lumineux sont introduites; - dans le cadre de l'essai d'endurance, la diminution maximum de lumière après l'essai accéléré de durée de fonctionnement est maintenant corrigée; - en ce qui concerne la discussion sur l'essai de type et la taille de l'échantillon, le nombre de pièces dans un échantillon de test est fortement réduite, voir Tableau 7; - l'Annexe A sur les méthodes de mesure est complètement restructurée et révisée, par exemple pour la température ambiante, raccourcir le temps de stabilisation lors des mesures de sortie de la lumière ultérieures; - pour les caractéristiques électriques, le temps de vieillissement peut être choisi comme 500 h; - pour les formats de fichiers de données photométriques référence est faite à l'IEC 62722-1; - les erreurs dans le code photométrique (Annexe D) sont corrigées; - l'Annexe G de la durée d'essai optimisée est supprimée; à la place, un bulletin INF est publiée; - depuis la norme du luminaire, une nouvelle Annexe H sur "l'équipement d'essai pour la mesure de la température" est prise en charge; - enfin, la bibliographie es

LED-moduli za splošno razsvetljavo - Tehnične zahteve (IEC 62717:2014)

Ta mednarodni standard določa zahteve glede zmogljivosti za LED-module skupaj s preskusnimi metodami in pogoji, ki so potrebni za preverjanje skladnosti s tem standardom. Na sliki 1 so shematsko prikazani naslednji tipi LED-modulov:
1. tip: integrirani LED-moduli za uporabo pri enosmernem napajanju do 250 V ali izmeničnem napajanju do 1000 V pri 50 Hz ali 60 Hz.
2. tip: LED-moduli, ki delujejo z delom ločene kontrolne naprave, priključene na omrežno napetost, in vsebujejo dodatna krmilna sredstva znotraj (»polintegrirani«) za delovanje pod konstantno napetostjo, tokom in močjo.
3. tip: LED-moduli, pri katerih je celotna kontrolna naprava ločena od modula (neintegrirana)
za delovanje pod konstantno napetostjo, tokom in močjo. Zahteve iz tega standarda se nanašajo samo na tipsko preskušanje.
Priporočila za preskušanje celotnega proizvoda ali serije so v obravnavi.
Ta standard zajema LED-module, ki temeljijo na neorganski tehnologiji LED, ki proizvaja belo
svetlobo.
Življenjska doba LED-modulov je v večini primerov precej daljša od preskusnih časov v praksi.
Posledično ni mogoče preveriti proizvajalčeve trditve o življenjski dobi z zadostno mero zanesljivosti, ker projekcija preskusnih podatkov v prihodnost ni standardizirana. Zaradi tega je sprejetje ali zavrnitev proizvajalčevih trditev o življenjski dobi nad nazivno življenjsko dobo, kot je opredeljeno v točki v 6.1, zunaj področja uporabe tega standarda.
Namesto preverjanja veljavnosti življenjske dobe ta standard določa kode vzdrževanja lumnov pri opredeljenem končnem preskusnem času. Zato številka kode ne predvideva napovedi dosegljive življenjske dobe. Kategorije, ki jih predstavljajo kode, so kategorije znižanja vrednosti lumnov, ki delujejo v skladu z informacijami proizvajalca, ki so na voljo pred začetkom preskusa.
Za preverjanje trditve o življenjski dobi je potrebna ekstrapolacija podatkov preskusa. Presoja se splošna metoda projiciranja podatkov meritev zunaj omejenega preskusnega časa.
Merilo za uspel/neuspel preskus življenjske dobe, kot je določeno v tem standardu, se razlikuje od nazivnih meritev proizvajalcev. Za razlago meritev priporočene življenjske dobe glej dodatek C.
OPOMBA: Če moduli delujejo v svetilki, se lahko podatki o zmogljivosti razlikujejo od vrednosti v tem standardu, predvsem zaradi komponent svetilke, ki vplivajo na delovanje LED-modulov.
Ločena elektronska kontrolna naprava za LED-module, omenjena pri 2. in 3. tipu, ni
del preskušanja na podlagi zahtev tega standarda.

Overview

EN 62717:2017 (identical to EN 62717:2017 / IEC 62717:2014 with modifications) sets the performance requirements, test methods and conditions for LED modules used in general lighting. It updates earlier guidance (IEC PAS 62717) and aligns terminology with related documents (for example IEC 62504 and CIE publications). The standard is widely used for product design, compliance testing and market surveillance in Europe and references relevant EU regulations for ecodesign and energy labelling.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and tests: Defines required measurements and test conditions (photometric, electrical, thermal and endurance tests) and clarifies measurement methods in a restructured Annex A.
• Terms and definitions: Updated and aligned with IEC 62504; introduces new terms such as tprated (replacing tpmax) and distinguishes abrupt failures from luminous flux depreciation.
• Lumen maintenance and lifetime: New requirements and test structures for lumen maintenance (luminous flux depreciation) and a fixed maximum light decrease after accelerated life tests.
• Energy efficiency: Introduces the Energy Efficiency Index (EEI = Pcor / Pref) and changes to luminous efficacy requirements. Power corrections are specified (e.g., direct-mains LED modules Pcor = Pmeasured × 1.00; modules requiring external controlgear Pcor = Pmeasured × 1.10).
• Power quality: Moves from composite power factor to displacement factor as the primary metric; annexes updated for measurement and recommended values.
• Marking and product information: New requirements for markings on product, packaging and public datasheets (useful luminous flux, CCT, beam angle, rated life, switching cycles, dimming warnings, lumen maintenance factor, spectral data and more).
• Directional vs non-directional: Specific clauses for directional LED modules (beam angle, useful luminous flux measured in 90° or 120° cones) and for non-directional modules.
• Sampling and conformity: Market surveillance guidance and reduced test sample sizes; a minimum sampling size of 20 modules for verification is specified.

Practical applications and who uses this standard

• LED module manufacturers - design validation, conformity marking and technical datasheets.
• Test and certification laboratories - measurement methods, endurance and photometric testing.
• Luminaire designers and system integrators - selecting modules with verified lumen maintenance, thermal behaviour and spectral data.
• Regulatory bodies and market surveillance - verifying compliance with EU ecodesign and labelling rules (e.g., Reg. EC 244/2009, EU 1194/2012, EU 874/2012).
• Procurement and spec writers - setting performance criteria (EEI, lumen maintenance, beam angle, lifetime).

Z1.5 Functionality requirements
Z1.5.1 Starting and warm-up time
Non integrated LED modules (Type 3) are deemed to fulfil the starting and warm-up
times requirements according to Commission Regulation (EU) No. 1194/2012.
For Type 1 and Type 2 LED modules the following applies:
The starting time requirements for LED modules that are intended to be switched on
and off via a communication protocol (and normally not by switching the mains supply
on and off) shall be determined disregarding the time required by the communication
protocol.
The test for starting and warm-up times shall be carried out in accordance with
FprEN 60969:2016, B.3.
Starting time is determined as the period from the start of the test to when the LED
module has fully completed the starting sequence (LED module has started and
remains alight).
Warm-up time is the time taken from the start of the test to when the LED module
achieves the required percentage of its stable luminous flux.

accordance with 7.1 and 7.2, the distortion shall be measured according to
EN 61000-3-2 and the power factor λ be calculated according to the relation given in
F.1.
NOTE In view of future regulations, EN 62717 defines - the primary metric displacement factor and its
associated measurement method and recommended values – instead of the composite power factor metric.
Definitions related to power quantities are given in Table 2 of IEC/TR 61000-1-7:2016.

Annex A
(normative)
Method of measuring LED module characteristics
For general conditions of measurement see EN 13032-4.
For the application of EN 13032-4:2015, independent LED modules shall be regarded
as luminaires.
The test voltage, current or power shall be the rated voltage, current or power. In the
case of a range, measurements shall be carried out at the input value corresponding
to the most adverse effect to the temperature of the LED module.
LED modules do not require any ageing prior to testing. However, the manufacturer
may define an ageing period of up to 500 h.
For temperature measurement, equipment as specified in the informative Annex H
may be used.
Maintenance (10.2) and supply switching (10.3.3) operation shall be conducted in the
temperature interval (tp rated-5, tp rated) at a rated maximum ambient temperature
specified by the manufacturer, with a tolerance of (+0 K, -5 K). In case there is no
rated maximum ambient temperature, the ambient temperature range (20°C to 25°C)
shall be used. For the supply switching test, the temperature requirement is applicable
only to the ON time. The value of tp rated shall not be exceeded. An appropriate heat
sink or additional heating may need to be applied to obtain the correct t value. For
p rated
testing purposes, the tp-point shall be marked easily accessible. Even if the location is
different for t and t , the value of t shall not be exceeded.
p c c
For directional LED modules the useful luminous flux (Z1.3) is obtained by luminous
intensity integration according to EN 13032-4:2015, 6.3 "Partial luminous flux"
For non-directional LED modules (6.4) the total luminous flux shall be measured
according to EN 13032-4. Also the partial luminous flux within a solid angle of π sr of
the LED module shall be evaluated to check the non-directionality.
NOTE 1 Once the non-directionality is verified for one module, for modules of the same type, only the total
luminous flux has to be measured.
Luminous intensity distribution shall be measured in accordance with EN 13032-4 and
EN 61341.
NOTE 2 EN 13032-4 refers to EN 61341 for beam angle evaluation.
Chromaticity coordinates of a LED module shall be measured in accordance with 7.1,
Colorimetric Measurements of EN 13032-4:2015.
All test results shall be presented as if testing had been executed at the maximum
recommended operating temperature (t ) of the LED module. Tests may be
p rated
performed at different temperatures; for this, the relation between the two
temperatures (t and a different t where this t shall be within the range of
p rated p p
manufacturer’s provided data) has to be established beforehand in an unambiguous
manner by data provided by the LED module manufacturer. In case of doubt the
reference measurement is performed at tp rated. Depending on the type of control circuit
the LED module manufacturer is using, the tp measurement shall be done at the most
onerous condition of operation. The value of t shall be reported in Clause 4.
p rated
The manufacturer shall provide, on request, information on the method used to
reproduce the claimed characteristics declared at t -point.
