Note 1 to entry: CFV = 50 % + 0,5 × AFV.
EXAMPLE Given AFV = 15 %, then CFV = 50 % + 0,5 × 15 % = 57,5 %
Note 2 to entry: This note applies to the French language only.
3.12

Compliance:
For all tested LED modules in a sample the measured CRI shall not be lower than 3 points
from the rated CRI (see Table 1).
10 LED module life
10.2 Lumen maintenance
Replace Subclause 10.2 including its title, with the following new subclause:
10.2 Luminous flux maintenance
The rated luminous flux maintenance factor may vary depending on the application of the LED
module. Dedicated information on the chosen percentage should be provided by the
manufacturer.
NOTE 1 As the typical life of a LED module is (very) long, it is within the scope of this standard regarded
impractical and time consuming to measure the actual luminous flux reduction over life (e.g. L ). For that reason
this standard relies on test results to determine the expected lumen maintenance code of any LED module.
NOTE 2 The actual luminous flux maintenance of LED modules can differ considerably per type and per
manufacturer. It is not possible to express the luminous flux maintenance of all LEDs in simple mathematical
relations. A fast initial decrease in luminous flux does not automatically imply that a particular LED will not make its
rated life.
NOTE 3 Other methods providing more advanced insight in luminous flux depreciation over LED module life are
under consideration.
This standard has opted for “lumen maintenance codes” (see Figure 2) that cover the initial
decrease in luminous flux until an operational time as stated in 6.1. There are three codes
which define luminous flux maintenance in percent of the initial luminous flux (see Table 6).
Table 6 – Lumen maintenance code at an operational time as stated in 6.1
Luminous flux maintenance Code
%
≥ 90 9
≥ 80 8
≥ 70 7
The initial luminous flux shall be measured. The measurement is repeated at an operational
time as stated in 6.1. The initial luminous flux value is normalized to 100 %; it is used as the
first data point for determining LED module life. The measured luminous flux value at an
operational time as stated in 6.1 shall be expressed as maintained value (= percentage of the
initial value).
It is recommended to measure the luminous flux at 1 000 h intervals (expressed as a
percentage of the initial value) for a total equal to an operational time as stated in 6.1.
NOTE 4 This will give an additional insight as to the reliability of the measured values, but assigning a code does
not imply a prediction of achievable life time. LED modules with a higher code could be better or worse than LED
modules with a lower code.
For marking of the luminous flux maintenance factor x and the lumen maintenance codes, see
Table 1.

For compliance of family members, refer to 6.2.3.
An individual LED module is considered as having passed the test when the following criteria
have been met.
1) The measured luminous flux value at 25 % of the rated median useful life (with a maximum
duration of 6 000 h) shall not be less than the initial luminous flux, multiplied by the rated
luminous flux maintenance factor x.
