Fluorescent induction lamps - Safety specifications

IEC 62532:2011 specifies the safety requirements for fluorescent induction lamps for general lighting purposes. It also specifies the method a manufacturer should use to show compliance with the requirements of this standard on the basis of whole production appraisal in association with his test records on finished products. This method can also be applied for certification purposes. Details of a batch test procedure, which can be used to make limited assessment of batches, are also given in this standard.

Lampes à fluorescence à induction - Spécifications de sécurité

La CEI 62532:2011 spécifie les exigences de sécurité pour les lampes à fluorescence à induction pour l'éclairage général. Elle spécifie aussi la méthode qu'il convient que le fabricant utilise pour démontrer la conformité de ses produits aux exigences de la présente norme, méthode basée sur l'évaluation de la qualité de la production globale, associée aux résultats d'essais enregistrés sur les produits finis. Cette méthode peut aussi être appliquée à des fins de certification. Des précisions sont également données dans la présente norme sur la procédure de contrôle par lots, qui peut être utilisée pour l'appréciation limitée de la qualité des lots.

Fluorescenčne indukcijske sijalke - Varnostne specifikacije

Ta mednarodni standard opredeljuje varnostne zahteve za fluorescenčne indukcijske sijalke za splošno razsvetljavo. Prav tako določa metodo, ki jo mora uporabiti proizvajalec, da izkaže skladnost z zahtevami tega standarda na podlagi presoje celotne proizvodnje, v povezavi s svojimi zapisi o preskusih končnih izdelkov. Ta metoda se lahko uporablja tudi za certifikacije. Podrobnosti o šaržnem preskusnem postopku, ki se lahko uporablja za omejeno oceno serij, so prav tako podane v tem standardu. Shematske risbe sistemov so prikazane v dodatku A.

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 62532 has been prepared by subcommittee 34A: Lamps, of IEC
technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

SAFETY SPECIFICATIONS
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the safety requirements for fluorescent induction lamps
for general lighting purposes.
It also specifies the method a manufacturer should use to show compliance with the
requirements of this standard on the basis of whole production appraisal in association with
his test records on finished products. This method can also be applied for certification
purposes.
Details of a batch test procedure, which can be used to make limited assessment of batches,
are also given in this standard.
The schematic drawings of the systems are shown in Annex A.
NOTE Self-ballasted induction lamps (where the discharge vessel, the power coupler and the control gear are
integrated in the same product) are excluded from the scope of this standard.
