Overview
EN IEC 62031:2020/A11:2021 is a CENELEC amendment to the harmonized European standard for LED modules for general lighting - safety specifications. Amendment A11 updates Annexes ZA and ZZ to clarify normative references and the relationship with the EU Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU), enabling the standard to be cited for conformity purposes. The amendment was approved in November 2021 and is published in English, French and German.
Key topics
This amendment and the underlying standard define safety requirements for LED modules used in general lighting applications. Key technical topics and normative references include:
- Electrical safety and protection (alignment with Low Voltage Directive safety objectives)
- Photobiological safety (references IEC 62471 and IEC/TR 62778 for blue‑light hazard assessment)
- Compatibility with luminaires and controlgear (references such as IEC 60598-1 and IEC 61347-1)
- Terminology and product definitions (IEC 62504)
- Mechanical and thermal considerations relevant to safe operation
- Normative alignment through Annex ZA (mapping to international publications) and Annex ZZ (relationship to Directive 2014/35/EU)
Note: Annex ZA lists the normative international standards incorporated by reference; Annex ZZ provides a correspondence table showing how clauses of EN IEC 62031 map to the safety objectives of the LVD (useful for presumption of conformity when cited in the Official Journal).
Applications
EN IEC 62031:2020/A11 is intended for practical use in:
- LED module manufacturers - to design and document safe LED modules for general lighting and meet European safety expectations
- Test laboratories - to develop test plans and evaluate conformity to safety clauses and referenced standards
