Note 1 to entry: Requirements on luminous flux are given in 4.6 and on tolerance of luminous flux in Clause B.2.
3.3
reference ballast
special electronic ballast, which is specified by the design specification of manufacturer
It is designed for the purpose of providing comparison standards for use in testing ballasts, for
the selection of reference lamps or for testing regular production lamps under standardized
conditions. It is essentially characterized by the fact that, at its rated frequency, it has a stable
voltage/current ratio which is relatively uninfluenced by variations in current, temperature and
magnetic surroundings, as outlined in the relevant ballast standard.

life (in hours) as declared by the manufacturer
It is published together with the switching cycle and failure rate on which it is based.
Note 1 to entry: Example for a short version: 12B10 (12 h switching cycle / 10 % failures).
4 Lamp requirements
4.1 General
A lamp, on which compliance with this standard is claimed, shall comply with the requirements
of IEC 62532.
A lamp has to comply with further requirements or more stringent requirements, if they
published by manufacturer.
A lamp shall be so designed that its performance is reliable in normal and accepted use. In
general, this can be achieved by satisfying the requirements of the following subclauses.
The requirements and information given apply to 95 % of production.
NOTE The requirements and tolerances permitted by this standard correspond to the testing of a type test
sample, submitted by the manufacturer for that purpose. In principle, this type test sample should consist of units
having characteristics typical of the manufacturer’s production and being as close to the production centre point
values as possible.
It may be expected with the tolerances given in the standard that products manufactures in accordance with the
type test sample will comply with the standard of the majority of production. Due to the production spread however,
it is inevitable that there will sometimes be products outside the specified tolerances.
Measurements are carried out under reference conditions with values specified on the data
sheets, if available. Except where otherwise specified in the annexes, lamps shall be tested in
an ambient temperature of between 20 °C and 27 °C.
