Lamp controlgear - Part 1: General and safety requirements

This part of IEC 61347 specifies general and safety requirements for lamp controlgear for use on d.c. supplies up to 250 V and/or a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2000 and its Amendment 1 (2003). It constitutes a technical revision. The definition clause has been extended (rated no-load output voltage, controllable ballasts, control terminals, control signal). General requirements for lamp control gear which do not have their own enclosure have been added. The informative information (for ballasts in lamp standards) is now transformed into a normative requirement (in ballast standards). The test schedule has been minimised where possible, see 5.7 and Annex J. For printed circuit boards, the (non-) inflammability requirements have been specified. An Annex on conformity testing during manufacture has been added.

Appareillages de lampes - Partie 1: Exigences générales et exigences de sécurité

La présente partie de la CEI 61347 spécifie les exigences générales et les exigences de sécurité pour les appareillages de lampes destinés à être utilisés sur des alimentations à courant continu jusqu'à 250 V et/ou sur des alimentations à courant alternatif jusqu'à 1 000 V à 50 Hz ou 60 Hz. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2000 et son Amendement 1 (2003). Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Les définitions ont été étendues (tension de sortie nominale à vide, ballast commandable, bornes de commande, signal de commande). Ont été ajoutées: les exigences générales pour les appareillages de lampes qui ne disposent pas de leur propre enveloppe, les exigences de non-inflammabilité pour les circuits imprimés et une annexe sur les essais de conformité. Les données informatives (concernant les ballasts dans les normes de lampe) sont maintenant devenues des exigences normatives (dans les normes ballasts). Là où cela est possible, le programme des essais a été minimisé, voir 5.7 et l'Annexe J.

Part 1: General and safety requirements

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 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
