LEDsi lamps for general lighting services with supply voltages not exceeding 50 V a.c. r.m.s. or 120 V ripple free d.c. - Safety specifications

IEC 62838:2015 specifies the safety and interchangeability requirements, together with the test methods and conditions, required to show compliance of LED lamps with integrated means for stable operation, intended for domestic and similar general lighting purposes.

LEDsi-Lampen (halbintegriert, mit eingebauter Steuereinheit) für Allgemeinbeleuchtungszwecke mit Versorgungsspannungen nicht über 50 V effektiver Wechselspannung oder 120 V welligkeitsfreier Gleichspannung - Sicherheitsanforderungen

Lampes à LEDsi pour l'éclairage général fonctionnant à des tensions d'alimentation ne dépassant pas 50 V en courant alternatif efficace ou 120 V en courant continu lisse - Spécifications de sécurité

L'IEC 62838:2015 spécifie les exigences de sécurité et d'interchangeabilité ainsi que les méthodes d'essai et les conditions exigées pour assurer la conformité des lampes à LED dotées de moyens intégrés permettant un fonctionnement stable, destinées à un usage domestique et à des usages d'éclairage général analogues.

Polintegrirane sijalke LED za splošno razsvetljavo z napajalnimi napetostmi, ki ne presegajo efektivne izmenične napetosti 50 V ali nevalovite enosmerne napetosti 120 V - Varnostna specifikacija (IEC 62838:2015)

Ta mednarodni standard določa zahteve za varnost in zamenljivost 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 do in vključno s 50 V efektivne izmenične napetosti ali do in vključno s 120 V nevalovite enosmerne napetosti;
– vznožki po preglednici 1.
OPOMBA 1: Nazivna moč 60 W je v obravnavi. Za regulacijo toplote se lahko potrebuje manj moči. Standard je treba uporabljati za izdelke v povezavi z inštalacijami razsvetljave z električno napeljavo nizke napetosti. Skladno s standardom IEC 60364-7-715 se v inštalacijah razsvetljave z električno napeljavo nizke napetosti uporabljajo samo viri SELV. Če se uporabljajo neizolirani vodniki, je največja izmenična napetost sijalk 25 V ali enosmerna 60 V.
Zahteve iz tega standarda se nanašajo samo na tipsko preskušanje. Za sijalke z izmenično napetostjo, večjo od 25 V, ali enosmerno napetostjo 60 V, so priporočila za preskušanje celotne proizvodnje ali serije podana v standardu IEC 60598-1, preglednica Q.1, razred stolpcev III – svetilke, stolpec 4 ali 5. OPOMBA 2: Izraz »sijalka« v tem standardu označuje polintegrirane sijalke LED z napajalnimi napetostmi, ki so navedene zgoraj, razen ko se izraz očitno uporablja za druge vrste sijalk. Pregled sistema, ki je sestavljen iz modulov LED, sijalk in stikalne naprave, je podan v standardu IEC 62504. Napajalna napetost ne pomeni nujno napetosti električnega omrežja, npr. 230 V/50 Hz. Polintegrirane sijalke LED se lahko napajajo tudi na izmenični ali enosmerni napajalni napetosti 12 V. V tem primeru krmilna enota stikalne naprave polintegrirane sijalke LED pretvori izmenično ali enosmerno napetost 12 V v tok in napetost, ki sta primerna za napajanje diode LED v polintegrirani sijalki LED. Vrste sijalk LEDni in LEDsi so prikazane na shemi na sliki 1.

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 possibl
