EN 62612:2013

Self-ballasted LED lamps for general lighting services with supply voltages > 50 V - Performance requirements

IEC 62612:2013 specifies the performance requirements, together with the test methods and conditions, required to show compliance of LED lamps with integral means for stable operation, intended for domestic and similar general lighting purposes, having: - a rated power up to 60 W; - a rated voltage of > 50 V a.c. up to 250 V a.c.; - a lamp cap as listed in IEC 62560. This first edition of IEC 62612 cancels and replaces IEC/PAS 62612. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC/PAS 62612. a) The standard explicitly states that real life time tests are not part of the test regime. Instead, a period of up to 6 000 h is chosen in order to assess manufacturers' claims of maintenance. b) Technical features have been adapted to IEC/PAS 62717 (performance of LED modules) as far as possible. Examples are the family approach and the temperature measuring point. c) Marking requirements are shifted from the product to the packaging. d) The number of lamps to be tested is made test specific, not general. e) First requirements are given for setting the colour for colour adjustable lamps and the luminous flux level of dimmable lamps. f) The structure of tests is clearly divided between requirement and compliance. g) Statistical compliance is separated into individual and average. h) Light output requirements are extended to luminous intensity distribution, peak intensity, beam angle and efficacy. i) The use of the terms 'correlated colour temperature' and 'chromaticity coordinates' is corrected. j) The number of tolerance categories is reduced from 8 to 4, and split between initial and maintained values. k) Colour rendering is differently assessed at initial and maintained state. l) Three lumen maintenance categories are given instead of five. m) The endurance tests are completely re-established. n) The verification (formerly: assessment) clause is completed. o) Information for luminaire design is added. p) Stabilisation is more precise (Annex A on the method of measuring lamp characteristics) and extension is made for the additional photometric and colorimetric parameters. q) Annex B on measuring luminous flux is contained in Annex A. New Annex B provides the photometric code. r) Further annexes are added: Annex C and D for displacement factor, Annex E for life time metrics/reliability and Annex F for examples of LED dies and LED packages.

Lampes à LED autoballastées pour l'éclairage général avec des tensions d'alimentation > 50 V - Exigences de performances

La CEI 62612:2013 spécifie les exigences de performances, ainsi que les conditions et les méthodes d'essais, requises pour assurer la conformité des lampes à LED à dispositif de stabilisation incorporé, destinées à l'éclairage domestique et à l'éclairage général similaire, ayant: - une puissance assignée pouvant atteindre 60 W; - une tension assignée comprise entre 50 V c.a. et 250 V c.a.; - un culot de lampe tel qu'indiqué dans la CEI 62560. Cette première édition de la CEI 62612 annule et remplace la CEI/PAS 62612. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à la CEI/PAS 62612. a) La norme indique explicitement que les essais de durée de vie réelle ne font pas partie du régime d'essais. Au lieu de cela, on choisit une période pouvant atteindre 6 000 h pour évaluer les déclarations de maintien données par un fabricant. b) Des caractéristiques techniques ont été adaptées autant que possible à la CEI/PAS 62717 (performances des modules de LED). Des exemples incluent l'utilisation de familles et le point de mesure de la température. c) Les exigences de marquage s'appliquent au boîtier et non au produit. d) Le nombre de lampes à soumettre aux essais est spécifique aux essais. e) Les premières exigences sont données pour régler la couleur des lampes à couleur ajustable et le niveau de flux lumineux des lampes à variation d'intensité. f) La structure des essais est divisée entre exigences et conformité. g) La conformité statistique est divisée en individuelle et moyenne. h) Les exigences sur la lumière de sortie sont étendues à la distribution d'intensité lumineuse, l'intensité de crête, l'angle de faisceau et l'efficacité. i) L'utilisation des termes 'température de couleur proximale' et 'coordonnées trichromatiques' est corrigée. j) Le nombre de catégories de tolérance est réduit de 8 à 4 et divisé entre les valeurs initiales et valeurs de maintien. k) Le rendu des couleurs est évalué différemment à l'état initial et à l'état de maintien. l) Trois catégories de maintien de flux lumineux sont données au lieu de cinq. m) Les essais d'endurance sont entièrement rétablis. n) L'article sur la vérification (auparavant appelée évaluation) est complété. o) Des informations pour la conception de luminaires sont ajoutées. p) La stabilisation est plus précise (Annexe A sur la méthode de mesure des caractéristiques des lampes) et des paramètres photométriques et colorimétriques supplémentaires ont été ajoutés. q) L'Annexe B sur la mesure du flux lumineux est incluse dans l'Annexe A. Une nouvelle Annexe B fournit le code photométrique. r) D'autres annexes ont été ajoutées. L'Annexe C et l'Annexe D sur le facteur de déplacement, l'Annexe E sur les valeurs et la fiabilité de la durée de vie et l'Annexe F qui donne des exemples de puces de LED et de boîtier de LED.

LED-sijalke za splošno razsvetljavo z vgrajeno predstikalno napravo pri napajalni napetosti nad 50 V - Tehnične zahteve (IEC 62612:2013)

Ta mednarodni standard določa zahteve glede zmogljivosti, vključno s preskusnimi metodami in pogoji, ki so potrebni za preverjanje skladnosti sijalk LED z vključenimi sredstvi za stabilno delovanje, ki so namenjene za domačo in podobno splošno razsvetljavo ter imajo:
• nazivno moč do 60 W;
• nazivno napetost od 50 do 250 VAC;
• svetilno osnovo, kot je opredeljeno v standardu IEC 62560.
Te zahteve glede zmogljivosti so dodane k zahtevam iz standarda IEC 62560., Edina lastnost, podana s tem standardom, ko se ta uporablja za namene zamenjave, je informacija o največjem obsegu svetilke. Zahteve iz tega standarda se nanašajo na tipsko preskušanje. Ta standard zajema svetilke LED, ki namenoma proizvajajo belo svetlobo, osnovano na neorganskih svetilkah LED.
Priporočila za preskušanje celotnega proizvoda ali serije so v obravnavi. Življenjska doba svetilk LED 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 sprejetje ali zavrnitev proizvajalčevih trditev o življenjski dobi nad nazivno življenjsko dobo, kot je opredeljeno v točki v 7.1, je 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 obstaja več metod za ekstrapolacijo preskusnih podatkov. 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 priporočenih meritev življenjske dobe glej dodatek E. OPOMBA: Če žarnice delujejo v svetilki, se lahko podatki o zmogljivosti razlikujejo od vrednosti v tem standardu, predvsem zaradi komponent svetilke, ki vplivajo na delovanje žarnice.
