Overview
EN 60901:1996 (adopted as SIST EN 60901:2001) is a CLC European standard that defines performance specifications for single‑capped fluorescent lamps intended for general lighting service. The standard focuses on the type testing of lamp performance - establishing the requirements that a lamp type must meet under specified test conditions. Note: the standard addresses type testing only; conditions of compliance and statistical assessment methods were indicated as under consideration.
Key topics
Although EN 60901:1996 is concise in scope, the standard is concerned with the core performance parameters and test methods typical for fluorescent lamp type approval. Key technical topics include:
- Type testing requirements for single‑capped fluorescent lamps used in general lighting
- Performance characteristics that determine suitability for general lighting service (e.g., light output, electrical behaviour and stability) - as specified for type verification
- Test conditions and measurement procedures under which performance is assessed
- Classification and marking related to the tested lamp type for identification in specifications and procurement
- Scope limitation: the standard explicitly applies to type testing; procedures for batch acceptance and statistical quality assessment are not included within this edition
(Descriptions above reflect the standard’s intent to define performance testing scope rather than prescriptive numeric limits. For precise test methods and limits consult the full standard document.)
Applications
EN 60901:1996 is used where reliable, repeatable type performance verification of single‑capped fluorescent lamps is required:
- Manufacturers - for product development, internal type verification and declaration of lamp performance
- Test laboratories and certification bodies - to perform standardized type tests and issue conformity reports
- Procurement teams and specifiers - to reference a recognized performance baseline in tenders and product specifications
- Regulators and standards committees - as a reference for national adoption and alignment of lamp performance requirements
- Lighting designers and facility managers - when verifying that a lamp type meets expected operational performance for general lighting applications
Related standards
- National adoptions (e.g., SIST EN 60901:2001) and other CLC/European publications on fluorescent and discharge lamps
- International IEC lamp performance and testing standards (for complementary electrical, photometric and lifetime testing)
