INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 62722 is a performance standard for luminaires (general requirements) and
acknowledges the need for defining performance data to be provided, the presentation of this
data, the basis of its measurement, and the associated tolerances that may can be reasonably
expected. Information to support responsible environmental use is also included. Future Parts 2
of the IEC 62722 series will can be introduced where additional performance requirements for
specific types of light sources are required. The structure of these performance standards also
allows for the possibility of Part 3 of the IEC 62722 series to be introduced in the future should
standardization of performance criteria linked to specific luminaire applications be determined
as necessary (e.g. floodlighting, street lighting).
The provisions in this standard represent the technical knowledge of experts from the fields of
the luminaire industry and associated components such as lamps and controlgear.

LUMINAIRE PERFORMANCE –
Part 1: General requirements
1 Scope
This part of IEC 62722 covers specific performance and environmental requirements for
luminaires, incorporating electric light sources for operation from supply voltages up to 1 000 V.
Unless otherwise detailed, performance data covered under the scope of this document are for
the luminaires in a condition representative of new manufacture, with any specified initial aging
procedures completed.
This document covers requirements for luminaires to support energy efficient use and
responsible environmental management to the end of life. The object of this document is to
provide a set of requirements which are considered to be generally applicable to most types of
luminaires. Where additional performance requirements for specific types of light source are
relevant, these are specified in the IEC 62722-2 series. The IEC 62722-2 series may can also
cover a wider scope of performance aspects appropriate to the particular light source
technology.
NOTE The structure of these performance standards also allows for the possibility of Part 3 standards to be
introduced in the future should standardisation of performance criteria linked to specific luminaire applications be
determined as necessary (e.g. floodlighting, street lighting, etc.).
It is the intention that the requirements of this Part 1 are to be met by the provision of information
and data provided by the luminaire manufacturer (or responsible vendor). Conformity is
considered to be met by the provision of the requested information. Any verification of data is
to be conducted by the measurement requirements of this standard.
Semi-luminaires are not covered under the scope of this document.
For some types of luminaires (e.g. decorative/ or household) the provision of performance data
under the scope of this document may is not be appropriate.

Annex D
(normative)
Photometric distribution data for luminaires
D.1 General
For the photometric distribution data of luminaires, Annex D provides information and
requirements for the measurement resolution, methods of comparison, and acceptable variation
to the declared data of the manufacturer.
D.2 Measurement resolution of photometric distribution data
The consistency of photometric distribution data largely depends on the number of planes C
and angles γ used for the measurement and presented as final data. The half planes C used to
measure the intensity of the light shall cover all of the space from 0° to 360° with steps of ΔC
and Δγ as specified below.
Maximum intervals between the angles of measurement shall be as follows.
a) Luminaires for general lighting and luminaires for emergency lighting: ΔC = 15°, Δγ = 5°.
b) Floodlight and spotlight luminaires: Planes V and angles H as specified in CIE 043,
depending on the type of light beam and its angular aperture, with close stepping around
the I value. The reading can also be taken using the C-γ system, provided the steps are
max
equivalent to those prescribed by specified in CIE 043.
c) Street lighting luminaires: Planes C and angles γ as detailed in CIE 034.
D.3 Method of comparison and acceptable limits of variation
D.3.1 General
The photometric distribution of the luminaire shall be measured and the light intensity is
compared to the manufacturer's declared data on the main half planes (C ; C ; C ; C );
0 90 180 270
and also on the C half plane containing the maximum intensity value, C I . For distributions
max
containing peak intensity (C I ) in more than one half plane, this comparison shall be made
max
in the same C-plane.
For luminaires exhibiting axial symmetry the comparison is made only on the main half planes
(C ; C ; C ; C ).
0 90 180 270
Before any comparison it should be ensured that the declared luminaire data and measured
luminaire data have been made for the same mounting orientation of the luminaire. If this is not
the case, the distribution may be rotated as long as this does not change any intensity values
in the process. Additionally the data shall be in the same units (cd/klm or cd).
The normalized maximum intensity value (cd/klm) of each half plane (C ; C ; C ; C ;
0 90 180 270
C I ), is compared with the corresponding five angles γ: I and the four nearest intensity
max max
readings in the same C half plane.
Table D.1 provides some examples of the nearest values to be selected for comparison.

Peak value is given in bold text.
Nearest values used for comparison are given in brackets.

For distributions where no clear peak or multiple peaks are present, it should be ensured the
comparison of intensity values are made between the same corresponding angles.
The measured data is acceptable if the corresponding values are within ±20 % of the
manufacturer's declared data.
Possible scenarios for acceptance are given in D.3.2 and D.3.3.
D.3.2 Scenarios for each main half plane: C ; C ; C ; C
0 90 180 270
D.3.2.1 Scenario 1 – Maximum intensities occur in the same γ angle
If the I and the four γ intensity readings nearest I fall within the specified tolerance the
max max
verdict is PASS (checked for each half plane).
If the above verdict is not PASS this check can be repeated with the half plane C shifted within
the interval C ± ΔC. If the I and the four γ intensity readings nearest I fall within the
max max
specified tolerance, the verdict is PASS, otherwise the verdict is FAIL (checked for each half
plane).
D.3.2.2 Scenario 2 – Maximum intensities occur in a different γ angle
If the I and the four γ intensity readings nearest I fall within the specified tolerance and
max max
the γ angle shift is less than or equal to Δγ, the verdict is PASS (checked for each half plane).
If the above verdict is not PASS, this check can be repeated with the half plane C shifted within
the interval C ± ΔC. If the I and the four γ intensity readings nearest I fall within the
max max
specified tolerance the verdict is PASS, otherwise the verdict is FAIL (checked for each half
plane).
NOTE ΔC is the maximum measurement step for the specific luminaire type.

D.3.3 Scenarios for half plane: C I
max
D.3.3.1 Scenario 1 – Maximum intensity occurs in same C plane and same γ angle
If the I and the four γ intensity readings nearest I fall within the specified tolerance, the
max max
verdict is PASS, otherwise the verdict is FAIL.
D.3.3.2 Scenario 2 – Maximum intensity occurs in same C plane and different γ angle
If the I and the four γ intensity readings nearest I fall within the specified tolerance and
max max
the γ angle shift is less than or equal to Δγ, the verdict is PASS, otherwise the verdict is FAIL.
D.3.3.3 Scenario 3 – Maximum intensity occurs in a different C plane and same γ
angle
If the I and the four γ intensity readings nearest I fall within the specified tolerance and
max max
the C plane shift is less than or equal to ΔC, the verdict is PASS, otherwise the verdict is FAIL.
D.3.3.4 Scenario 4 – Maximum intensity occurs in a different C plane and different γ
angle
If the I and the four γ intensity readings nearest I fall within the specified tolerance and
max max
the C plane shift is less than or equal to ΔC and the γ angle shift is less than or equal to Δγ, the
verdict is PASS, otherwise the verdict is FAIL.
D.3.4 Conformity Compliance
Where a PASS conclusion is reached from one of the identified scenarios for D.3.2 (C ; C ;
0 90
C ; C and D.3.3 ( C I ) the measured luminaire is considered as representative of the
180 270) max
manufacturer declared data.
The Δ angles used for the angular shifts described in D.3.2 and D.3.3 are the maximum intervals
described for the different types of luminaires given in Clause D.2. It is possible that closer
intervals are used in the manufacturer's declared data may have been given using closer
intervals.

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.
IEC 62722-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 34D: Luminaires, of IEC technical committee

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 62722 is a performance standard for luminaires (general requirements) and
acknowledges the need for defining performance data to be provided, the presentation of this
data, the basis of its measurement, and the associated tolerances that can be reasonably
expected. Information to support responsible environmental use is also included. Future Parts 2
of the IEC 62722 series can be introduced where additional performance requirements for
specific types of light sources are required. The structure of these performance standards also
allows for the possibility of Part 3 of the IEC 62722 series to be introduced in the future should
standardization of performance criteria linked to specific luminaire applications be determined
as necessary (e.g. floodlighting, street lighting).

LUMINAIRE PERFORMANCE –
Part 1: General requirements
1 Scope
This part of IEC 62722 covers specific performance and environmental requirements for
luminaires, incorporating electric light sources for operation from supply voltages up to 1 000 V.
Unless otherwise detailed, performance data covered under the scope of this document are for
the luminaires in a condition representative of new manufacture, with any specified initial aging
procedures completed.
This document covers requirements for luminaires to support energy efficient use and
responsible environmental management to the end of life. The object of this document is to
provide a set of requirements which are considered to be generally applicable to most types of
luminaires. Where additional performance requirements for specific types of light source are
relevant, these are specified in the IEC 62722-2 series. The IEC 62722-2 series can also cover
a wider scope of performance aspects appropriate to the particular light source technology.
Semi-luminaires are not covered under the scope of this document.
For some types of luminaires (e.g. decorative or household) the provision of performance data
under the scope of this document is not appropriate.

(normative)
Photometric distribution data for luminaires
D.1 General
For the photometric distribution data of luminaires, Annex D provides information and
requirements for the measurement resolution, methods of comparison, and acceptable variation
to the declared data of the manufacturer.
D.2 Measurement resolution of photometric distribution data
The consistency of photometric distribution data largely depends on the number of planes C
and angles γ used for the measurement and presented as final data. The half planes C used to
measure the intensity of the light shall cover all of the space from 0° to 360° with steps of ΔC
and Δγ as specified below.
Maximum intervals between the angles of measurement shall be as follows.
a) Luminaires for general lighting and luminaires for emergency lighting: ΔC = 15°, Δγ = 5°.
b) Floodlight and spotlight luminaires: Planes V and angles H as specified in CIE 043,
depending on the type of light beam and its angular aperture, with close stepping around
the I value. The reading can also be taken using the C-γ system, provided the steps are
max
equivalent to those specified in CIE 043.
c) Street lighting luminaires: Planes C and angles γ as detailed in CIE 034.
D.3 Method of comparison and acceptable limits of variation
D.3.1 General
The photometric distribution of the luminaire shall be measured and the light intensity is
compared to the manufacturer's declared data on the main half planes (C ; C ; C ; C );
0 90 180 270
and also on the C half plane containing the maximum intensity value, C I . For distributions
max
containing peak intensity (C I ) in more than one half plane, this comparison shall be made
max
in the same C-plane.
For luminaires exhibiting axial symmetry the comparison is made only on the main half planes
(C ; C ; C ; C ).
0 90 180 270
Before any comparison it should be ensured that the declared luminaire data and measured
luminaire data have been made for the same mounting orientation of the luminaire. If this is not
the case, the distribution may be rotated as long as this does not change any intensity values
in the process. Additionally the data shall be in the same units (cd/klm or cd).
The normalized maximum intensity value (cd/klm) of each half plane (C ; C ; C ; C ;
0 90 180 270
C I ), is compared with the corresponding five angles γ: I and the four nearest intensity
max max
readings in the same C half plane.
Table D.1 provides some examples of the nearest values to be selected for comparison.

Peak value is given in bold text.
Nearest values used for comparison are given in brackets.

For distributions where no clear peak or multiple peaks are present, it should be ensured the
comparison of intensity values are made between the same corresponding angles.
The measured data is acceptable if the corresponding values are within ±20 % of the
manufacturer's declared data.
Possible scenarios for acceptance are given in D.3.2 and D.3.3.
D.3.2 Scenarios for each main half plane: C ; C ; C ; C
0 90 180 270
D.3.2.1 Scenario 1 – Maximum intensities occur in the same γ angle
If the I and the four γ intensity readings nearest I fall within the specified tolerance the
max max
verdict is PASS (checked for each half plane).
If the above verdict is not PASS this check can be repeated with the half plane C shifted within
the interval C ± ΔC. If the I and the four γ intensity readings nearest I fall within the
max max
specified tolerance, the verdict is PASS, otherwise the verdict is FAIL (checked for each half
plane).
D.3.2.2 Scenario 2 – Maximum intensities occur in a different γ angle
If the I and the four γ intensity readings nearest I fall within the specified tolerance and
max max
the γ angle shift is less than or equal to Δγ, the verdict is PASS (checked for each half plane).
If the above verdict is not PASS, this check can be repeated with the half plane C shifted within
the interval C ± ΔC. If the I and the four γ intensity readings nearest I fall within the
max max
specified tolerance the verdict is PASS, otherwise the verdict is FAIL (checked for each half
plane).
NOTE ΔC is the maximum measurement step for the specific luminaire type.

D.3.3 Scenarios for half plane: C I
max
D.3.3.1 Scenario 1 – Maximum intensity occurs in same C plane and same γ angle
If the I and the four γ intensity readings nearest I fall within the specified tolerance, the
max max
verdict is PASS, otherwise the verdict is FAIL.
D.3.3.2 Scenario 2 – Maximum intensity occurs in same C plane and different γ angle
If the I and the four γ intensity readings nearest I fall within the specified tolerance and
max max
the γ angle shift is less than or equal to Δγ, the verdict is PASS, otherwise the verdict is FAIL.
D.3.3.3 Scenario 3 – Maximum intensity occurs in a different C plane and same γ
angle
If the I and the four γ intensity readings nearest I fall within the specified tolerance and
max max
the C plane shift is less than or equal to ΔC, the verdict is PASS, otherwise the verdict is FAIL.
D.3.3.4 Scenario 4 – Maximum intensity occurs in a different C plane and different γ
angle
If the I and the four γ intensity readings nearest I fall within the specified tolerance and
max max
the C plane shift is less than or equal to ΔC and the γ angle shift is less than or equal to Δγ, the
verdict is PASS, otherwise the verdict is FAIL.
D.3.4 Compliance
Where a PASS conclusion is reached from one of the identified scenarios for D.3.2 (C ; C ;
0 90
C ; C and D.3.3 ( C I ) the measured luminaire is considered as representative of the
180 270) max
manufacturer declared data.
The Δ angles used for the angular shifts described in D.3.2 and D.3.3 are the maximum intervals
described for the different types of luminaires given in Clause D.2. It is possible that closer
intervals are used in the manufacturer's declared data.
