DC or AC supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules - Performance requirements

IEC 62384:2020 is available as IEC 62384:2020 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 62384:2020 specifies performance requirements for electronic controlgear for use on DC or AC supplies up to 1 000 V (alternating current at 50 Hz or 60 Hz) and with an output frequency which can deviate from the supply frequency, associated with LED modules according to IEC 62031. Controlgear for LED modules specified in this document are designed to provide constant voltage or current. Deviations from the pure voltage and current types do not exclude the gear from this document. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2006 and Amendment 1:2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - scope extension (direct current from 250 V to 1 000 V); - new specifications for measuring the power factor for controlgear with settable/non-constant output (for instance, to allow for constant light output); - deletion of audio frequency requirements; - selection of current test circuit by module capacitance (instead of selecting by having or not having logic circuitry) plus test circuit setup changes.

Overview

EN IEC 62384:2020 - DC or AC supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules – Performance requirements (CLC adoption of IEC 62384:2020) specifies type-test performance requirements for electronic controlgear (LED drivers) intended to operate LED modules (per IEC 62031) on DC or AC supplies up to 1 000 V (50 Hz or 60 Hz). This second edition (2020) replaces the 2006 edition and its 2009 amendment and introduces technical revisions including extended DC scope, new power-factor measurement rules for settable/non-constant outputs, removal of audio-frequency requirements, and revised test-circuit selection based on module capacitance.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and design types
  • Applies to controlgear providing constant voltage or constant current (and deviations from pure types).
  • Intended for LED modules defined by IEC 62031.
• Voltage, current and start-up
  • Requirements for starting, connecting, and behavior during operation; expected satisfactory operation typically between 92% and 106% of rated supply voltage.
• Classification and marking
  • Classification by load, output voltage and current, with mandatory and optional marking requirements.
• Capacitive load handling
  • Test circuit selection now based on LED module input capacitance (high > ~100 nF vs low ≤ 100 nF) and includes specific tests for capacitive load current.
• Total circuit power and circuit power factor
  • Definition and measurement of total circuit power (driver + module) and circuit power factor (λ); new specifications for measuring power factor for controlgear with settable or non-constant outputs (e.g., constant light output).
• Reliability and safety tests
  • Operational tests for abnormal conditions, endurance testing, supply current measurements and test procedures (type tests only - not production tests).
• Testing guidance
  • Annexes include normative test setups and guidance on quoting product life and failure rates.

Applications and practical users

EN IEC 62384:2020 is used by:

• LED driver manufacturers for design verification and compliance testing.
• Test laboratories performing type tests, power-factor and capacitive-load measurements.
• Product compliance and certification bodies assessing conformity to European/CENELEC requirements.
• Lighting specifiers, OEMs and system integrators specifying compatible controlgear for LED modules.
• Regulatory and procurement teams referencing harmonized performance requirements.

Practical benefits include improved interoperability of LED modules and drivers, clearer test methods for high-capacitance modules, and consistent power-factor evaluation for devices with variable outputs.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62384 has been prepared by subcommittee 34C: Auxiliaries for
lamps, of IEC technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2006 and
Amendment 1:2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) scope extension (direct current from 250 V to 1 000 V);
b) new specifications for measuring the power factor for controlgear with settable/non-
constant output (for instance, to allow for constant light output);
c) deletion of audio frequency requirements;
d) selection of current test circuit by module capacitance (instead of selecting by having or
not having logic circuitry) plus test circuit setup changes.
