Overview

EN 61347-1:2015/A1:2021 (Lamp controlgear - Part 1: General and safety requirements) is the CENELEC adoption of IEC 61347-1:2015 with Amendment A1. It specifies general and safety requirements for lamp controlgear intended for use on d.c. supplies up to 1 000 V and/or a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V (50/60 Hz). The amendment clarifies definitions, marking and terminal requirements, and adds provisions for surge protective devices (SPD) and SELV identification. This European standard supports conformity to the EU Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) via Annex ZZ.

Key Topics

• Scope and applicability: General safety rules for lamp controlgear; not to be applied where a specific EN 61347-2 part exists.
• Voltage range: Covers controlgear for use on d.c. and a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V.
• New/updated definitions: Introduction of surge protective device (SPD) as a defined term.
• Marking and identification:
  • Requirements for marking controlgear incorporating SPDs (protective earth symbol where earth connection required).
  • SELV circuits must be identified with the SELV symbol readable with normal or corrected vision.
  • Indication “Integrated SPD” for Class I products when applicable.
• Terminals:
  • Integral terminals must comply with IEC 60598-1 clauses for screw and screwless terminals.
  • Non-integral terminals are required to meet relevant IEC terminal standards; use in accordance with their ratings.
• Relationship to EU legislation:
  • Annex ZZ maps clauses to the safety objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage Directive).
  • Note: EMF aspects are covered separately (EN 62493).

Applications

EN 61347-1 is used by:

• Manufacturers and designers of ballasts, LED drivers and other lamp controlgear to ensure product safety and market access in Europe.
• Product safety engineers and compliance teams for CE marking under the Low Voltage Directive.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies performing safety assessments and type testing.
• Regulatory and procurement professionals specifying safe lamp controlgear for luminaires, lighting systems and emergency lighting.

Practical value: helps ensure electrical safety, correct terminal and marking practices, and clarity on surge protection and SELV identification for lighting controlgear across residential, commercial and industrial applications.

• IEC/EN 60598-1 (luminaires)
• IEC 60664-1 (insulation coordination)
• IEC 60529 (IP code)

Annex ZZ
(informative)
Relationship between this European Standard and the safety
objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU [2014 OJ L96] aimed to be
covered
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request relating to
harmonized standards in the field of the Low Voltage Directive, M/511, to provide one voluntary means
of conforming to safety objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to the
making available on the market of electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits
[2014 OJ L96].
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZZ.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding safety objectives of
that Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.
