Overview

EN IEC 62386-216:2018 (also published as IEC 62386-216:2018) is part of the IEC/CENELEC Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) series. It defines particular requirements for control gear implementing load referencing (device type 15). The standard specifies a bus system for digital control of electronic lighting equipment, aligned with IEC 61347 (all parts) and extended to include DC supplies. EN IEC 62386-216:2018 is intended to be used together with the general requirements in IEC 62386-101 and IEC 62386-102.

Key topics and technical requirements

This part 216 focuses on device-specific behavior and communication needed for reliable load referencing. Major technical topics included are:

• Scope and applicability: control gear that implements load referencing in accordance with IEC 62386-102.
• Electrical specification: interface electrical requirements for device type 15.
• Interface power supply: power behaviour and supply considerations for the bus and devices.
• Transmission protocol structure and timing: messaging format and timing constraints necessary for interoperability.
• Method of operation:
  • Reference measurement procedures used for load referencing.
  • Load referencing mechanisms specific to device type 15.
  • Load deviation handling and thresholds.
  • Failure status reporting and classification.
• Declaration of variables and the definition of commands, including application extended commands and special commands (for example, enabling device type data).
• Normative references to related parts of the IEC 62386 series and harmonized standards.

(These topics reflect the clause structure and requirements contained in the standard; implementers should consult the full text for exact command formats and variable definitions.)

Applications and who uses this standard

EN IEC 62386-216:2018 is applied in:

• Control gear manufacturers who design DALI-compliant devices with load-referencing features (device type 15).
• Lighting system designers and integrators specifying interoperable digital lighting controls in commercial, industrial, and architectural projects.
• Product compliance and test laboratories validating conformity with DALI/IEC 62386 requirements.
• Building automation engineers and OEMs integrating lighting control into broader control systems where accurate load referencing and DC supply support are required.

Benefits include consistent interoperability, predictable failure reporting, and standardized communication for load-referenced control gear.

Related standards

• IEC 62386-101 – General requirements: system components
• IEC 62386-102 – General requirements: control gear (required companion)
• IEC 61347 – Lamp control gear safety standards (harmonized reference)
• EN IEC 62386-216:2018 is the CENELEC-adopted version of IEC 62386-216:2018.

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 62386-216 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment. The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 34/491/FDIS 34/513/RVD
