Organic light emitting diode (OLED) Light sources for general lighting - Safety - Part 1: General requirements and tests

IEC 62868-1:2020 specifies general safety requirements of OLED products for use on DC supplies up to 1000 V or AC supplies up to 1000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz for indoors and similar general lighting purposes. This document applies to any OLED light sources which are not covered by IEC 62868-2 (all parts). This first edition cancels and replaces IEC 62868 published in 2014.

Organische Licht emittierende Dioden (OLED) Lichtquellen für die Allgemeinbeleuchtung - Sicherheit - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen und Prüfungen

Sources lumineuses à diodes électroluminescentes organiques (OLED) destinées à l’éclairage général - Sécurité - Partie 1: Exigences générales et essais

L'IEC 62868-1:2020 spécifie les exigences générales de sécurité des produits OLED destinés à être utilisés avec des alimentations en tension continue jusqu’à 1000 V ou avec des alimentations en tension alternative jusqu’à 1000 V à 50 Hz ou 60 Hz, pour l’éclairage général intérieur ou similaire. Le présent document s’applique aux sources lumineuses OLED qui ne sont pas couvertes par l’IEC 62868-2 (toutes les parties). Cette première édition annule et remplace l'IEC 62868 parue en 2014.

Organska svetleča dioda (OLED) Svetlobni viri za splošno razsvetljavo - Varnost - 1. del: Splošne zahteve in preskusi (IEC 62868-1:2020)

Ta del standarda IEC 62868 določa splošne varnostne zahteve za izdelke OLED za uporabo z enosmerno napajalno napetostjo do 1000 V ali izmenično napajalno napetostjo do 1000 V pri frekvenci 50 Hz ali 60 Hz za notranjo osvetlitev in podobne namene splošne razsvetljave. Ta dokument se uporablja za vse svetlobne vire OLED, ki niso zajeti v standardu IEC 62868-2 (vsi deli). OPOMBA 1: V tem dokumentu so podane le preskusne metode za svetlobne vire OLED za enosmerni tok. Ukrepi za izdelke OLED za izmenični tok so v obravnavi. OPOMBA 2: Sestava ploščic in plošč OLED je prikazana na slikah od A.1 do A.4 v dodatku A. OPOMBA 3: Svetlobni sistem OLED, sestavljen iz plošč ali modulov OLED, je prikazan na sliki v dodatku D. OPOMBA 4: Ta dokument se uporablja za svetlobne vire OLED (ploščice, plošče, module), ki so sestavljeni iz svetilk ali sijalk OLED; njegov namen je, da svetlobni vir OLED v skladu s tem dokumentom ustreza standardu IEC 60598 (vsi deli) kot sestavni del opreme za razsvetljavo, v kombinaciji z drugimi sestavnimi deli. OPOMBA 5: Če ustrezni 2. del standarda IEC 62868 za svetlobni vir OLED ne obstaja, je mogoče kot vodilo za zahteve in preskuse uporabiti najustreznejši 2. del standarda IEC 62868.
