NOTE 1 For lamps with caps different to those in Table 2, the effect of the bending moment should be regarded
and limited. A measurement method for these lamps with these caps is under consideration.
NOTE 2 It should be taken care that the luminaire surface where the lampholder is fixed to can withstand the
bending moment. For the calculation of this bending moment, the length of the lampholder needs to be taken into
account when measuring the overall length. This should be made sure for the elevated temperature during
operation in order to check the possible softening of the surface material.
NOTE 3 Requirements for lamps with additional mechanical fixation e.g. rim mounted lamps, is under
consideration.

8.3 Electric strength
Replace the existing text of this subclause by the following:
Immediately after the insulation resistance test, the same parts as specified above shall
withstand a voltage test for 1 min with an a.c. voltage or a d.c. voltage equal to the peak
voltage of the prescribed a.c. voltage as follows.
NOTE The use of either a.c. or d.c. voltage is advised by the manufacturer.
During the test, the supply contacts of the cap are short-circuited. Accessible parts of
insulating material of the lamp are covered with metal foil. Initially, no more than half the
voltage prescribed in IEC 60598-1, Table 10.2, reference d) for double and reinforced
insulation is applied between the contacts and the metal foil. It is then gradually raised to the
full value. Care shall be taken that the metal foil is so placed that no flashover occurs at the
edges of the insulation.
No flashover or breakdown shall occur during the test. Measurements shall be carried out in
the humidity cabinet.

Before each use, the test holder for screw caps shall be checked to ensure that it is clean and
completely free of lubricants and grease.
The cap of the test lamp shall be placed in the appropriate holder shown in Figures 3 and 4.
Either the cap or the part of the lamp which is used for inserting or removing the lamp may be
mechanically clamped.
Torque shall be applied steadily to the appropriate lamp component, so that no jerk occurs.
The application of the torque may follow either of the following schemes.
a) The required torque shall be applied, according to the limits given in Table 3.
b) Higher torque values than the relevant limit shall be applied so that the value of torque for
failure is obtained. In this case, the equipment is to be provided with suitable means for
measuring torque over a wide range of failure levels.
Compliance:
The cap shall remain firmly attached to the bulb or that part of the lamp which is used for
inserting or removing the lamp when subjected to the torque levels listed in Table 3 above.
Some lamps are made with parts designed to be moved after insertion (for example a light
sensor or decorative ring). Movement of these parts does not constitute non-compliance.
In the case of un-cemented caps, relative movement between cap and bulb is permitted
provided it does not exceed 10°.
9.2.2 Torsion resistance of lamps after a defined time of usage
The torsion resistance of used lamps is under consideration.
9.2.3 Externally applied axial pull and bending moment
The lamp construction shall withstand externally applied axial pull and bending moment.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
– 10 – IEC 62560:2011/AMD1:2015
 IEC 2015
The bending shall be applied by holding in a uniform manner that part of the material closest
to the cap. The pivot point lies at the cap reference plane (mating plane with the lamp holder).
The pulling force and bending moment shall not be applied suddenly but shall be increased
gradually from zero to the specified value.
Values are under consideration.
9.3 Compliance criteria
After the mechanical strength test of 9.2, the sample shall comply with the requirements of
Clause 8.
9.4 Axial strength of Edison caps
The lamps shall be screwed into gauge of Table 4. After full insertion an axial force of Table 4
is applied to the central contact. See Figure 7.
In case axial strength of the cap does not decrease when the unmounted cap was assembled
to the finished lamp, test results on the unmounted cap can be applied.
NOTE The gauges are used to hold the lamp. Calibration is not required.
Compliance:
After this test the insulation around the central contact shall remain intact. The application of
the torque test in 9.2.1 shall not lead to impressing the bottom part of the cap into the shell.

13 Fault conditions
Replace the entire text of this clause including existing subclauses 13.1 to 13.6 with the
following new subclauses 13.1 to 13.3:
13.1 General requirements
The lamps shall not impair safety when operated under fault conditions which may occur
during the intended use.
13.2 Test conditions
The following fault conditions is applied in turn, as well as any other associated fault
conditions that may arise from it as logical consequences. Only one component at a time is
subjected to a fault condition.
Opening or bridging component in the circuit where the diagram or construction indicates that
such a fault condition may impair safety.
Examination of the lamp and its circuit diagram will generally show the fault conditions which
should be applied. These are applied in sequence in the order that is most convenient.
Components or devices in which a short-circuit does not occur shall not be bridged. Similarly,
components or devices in which an open circuit cannot occur shall not be interrupted.
Manufacturers or responsible vendors shall produce evidence that the components behave in
a way that does not impair safety, for instance, by showing compliance with the relevant
specification.
Compliance is checked by operating the sample free burning, vertical cap up position at room
temperature and at the most critical test voltage between 90 % and 110 % of the rated
voltage.
In case a rated voltage range is declared, the test has to be carried out at the most critical
test voltage between 90 % and 110 % of the mean voltage of that declared range or at the
most critical test voltage within the declared voltage range, whatever range is greater.
In case of alternative rated voltages the test shall be performed separately for each rated
voltages.

 IEC 2015
Example 1:
Declared voltage range: 220 V to 240 V: Test voltage within 207 V to 253 V.
(90 % to 110 % of 230 V is wider than declared range)
Example 2:
Declared voltage range: 170 V to 280 V: Test voltage within 170 V to 280 V.
(Declared range is wider than 90 % to 110 % of 225 V.)
13.3 Compliance
Compliance is checked by operating the sample free burning at room temperature and at the
most critical test voltage until stable conditions have been reached, then introducing the fault
condition.
The sample is then tested for a further 8 h. During this test it shall not catch fire, or produce
flammable gases and live parts shall not become accessible.
To check if accessible parts have become live, a test in accordance with Clause 7 is made.
The insulation resistance (see 8.1) is checked with a d.c. voltage of approximately 1 000 V.
Add, after Clause 14 the following new Clauses 15 to 19 including new Figure 8:
15 Abnormal operation
Self-ballasted lamps shall not create hazard under abnormal operating conditions.
Self-ballasted lamps shall be constructed so that as a result of abnormal or careless
operation, the risk of fire and mechanical damage impairing safety of protection against
electric shock is obviated.
Applying non-dimmable self-ballasted lamps on a dimmer or an electronic switch is to be
tested as a possible case of abnormal operation.
Test procedure:
Test non-dimmable lamp in test circuit shown in Figure 8.
Determine R1 and S1 setting at which the maximum I . occurs.
r.m.s
Test at this situation, and if the lamp passively fails within 60 min, repeat the test at 10 %
lower I . The lower I . shall be set in the decreasing potentiometer resistance direction.
r.m.s r.m.s
Repeat this procedure until stable operation is achieved for minimum 60 min.

In case a voltage range is declared, the test has to be carried out at the mean voltage of that
declared range.
In case of alternative rated voltages, the test shall be performed separately for each rated
voltage.
During this test the lamp shall not catch fire, or produce flammable gases and live parts shall
not become accessible with the standard test finger.
16 Test conditions for dimmable lamps
Test shall be carried out at maximum power setting for Clause 10 and Clause 17.
Test conditions for Clause 13 are under consideration.
17 Photobiological safety
17.1 UV radiation
The ultraviolet hazard efficacy of luminous radiation of an LED lamp shall not exceed
2 mW/klm.

---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
– 14 – IEC 62560:2011/AMD1:2015
 IEC 2015
Compliance is checked by measurement of the spectral power distribution and subsequent
calculation of the ultraviolet hazard efficacy of luminous radiation. LED lamps not relying on
the conversion of UV radiation are not expected to exceed the maximum allowed ultraviolet
hazard efficacy of luminous radiation. They do not require measurement.
17.2 Blue light hazard
The blue light hazard shall be assessed according to IEC TR 62778, which shall be regarded
as normative when testing LED lamps to this standard. LED lamps shall be classified as risk
group 0 unlimited or risk group 1 unlimited.
NOTE Clause C.2 of IEC TR 62778 gives a method to classify lamps where full spectral data is not available.
17.3 Infrared radiation
LED lamps are not expected to reach a level of infrared radiation where marking or other
safety measurements are required.
18 Ingress protection
18.1 Requirements
Lamps shall be suitable for water contact unless marked with Figure 6.
18.2 Tests
Suitability for water contact is tested as follows.
The lamp is subjected to an IPX4 test according to IEC 60598-1. During this test, lampholders
sealing to the diameter of the lamp ends and providing protection to the contact area of IPX4
shall be fitted.
The compliance provisions of 9.2 of IEC 60598-1 apply.
NOTE For more information about ingress protection (IP), see IEC 60598-1, Annex J.
A lamp constructed so that it is sealed (e.g. lamp designs having one piece homogeneous
glass or plastic bulb penetrating the lampholder sealing) to exclude water need not be
subjected to this test.
19 Information for luminaire design
For information for luminaire design, Annex A applies.

Annex A
(informative)

Information for luminaire design

Lamps marked with the symbol according to Figure 6 should be protected from direct water
contact, e.g. by drips, splashing etc., by the luminaire if rated at IPX1 or higher.
NOTE The X in the IP number indicates a missing numeral but both of the appropriate numerals are marked on
the luminaire.
Any IPX1 or better protection of the lamp contact area can only be achieved in luminaires
having lampholder with proper IP rating also for the sealing to the diameter of the lamp end
and providing protection to the lamp end components containing the contact area.

Annex B – Lamps with operating position limitations (see 5.2)
Delete Annex B.
