LAMP CONTROLGEAR –
Part 2-13: Particular requirements for d.c. or
a.c. supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules
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 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.
International Standard IEC 61347-2-13 has been prepared by subcommittee 34C: Auxiliaries
for lamps, of IEC technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2006. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition.
a) Replacement of the SELV-equivalent requirements by SELV requirements and reference
to the SELV requirements of Annex L in IEC 61347-1:2007/AMD2:2012.
b) Reference to IEC 61347-1 for the protection against accidental contact with live parts,
moisture resistance and insulation and electric strength.
c) New Annex J for emergency lighting requirements.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
34C/1092/FDIS 34C/1106/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This standard shall be used in conjunction with IEC 61347-1.Where the requirements of any
of the clauses of IEC 61347-1 are referred to in this standard by the phrase "The
requirements of Clause n of IEC 61347-1:2007/AMD1:2010/AMD2:2012, apply", this phrase is
interpreted as meaning that all requirements of the clause in question of Part 1 apply, except
any which are clearly inapplicable to the specific type of lamp controlgear covered by this
particular part of IEC 61347-2.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

Annex J
(normative)
Particular additional safety requirements for a.c., a.c./d.c. or d.c.
supplied electronic controlgear for emergency lighting
J.1 General
This annex specifies particular safety requirements of a.c., a.c./d.c. or d.c. supplied electronic
controlgear for emergency lighting purposes intended for connection to a centralized
emergency power supply, as, for example, central battery supply system. It does not apply to
electronic controlgear used in self-contained emergency lighting luminaires as this is covered
by IEC 61347-2-7.
J.2 Marking
J.2.1 Mandatory markings
The controlgear shall, in addition to the requirements of 7.1, be clearly marked with the
following mandatory marking:
a) a.c., a.c./d.c. or d.c maintained emergency electronic controlgear shall be marked with the
symbol:
[SOURCE: IEC 61347-2-7:2011]
b) rated emergency power supply voltage or voltage range.
J.2.2 Information to be provided if applicable
In addition to the above mandatory markings and the requirements of 7.2, the following
information shall either be given on the control gear or be made available in the
manufacturer’s catalogue or similar.
a) Limits of the ambient temperature range within which an independent control gear will
operate satisfactorily at the declared voltage (range).
b) Emergency output factor (EOF ). In case of settable electrical output parameter, a range
x
shall be provided.
c) Information on whether the control gear is intended for use in luminaires for high-risk task
area lighting.
J.3 General notes on tests
One specimen shall be submitted to all the tests.
The tests shall be carried out with the length of the output cable of both 20 cm and 200 cm
unless otherwise declared by the manufacturer.
To give reproducible measurement results, one or more resistors (R ) shall be used as
load
replacement for the LED lamps/module(s). R is determined from the rated output power
load
and the rated output voltage or rated output current of the controlgear. The resistor (R )
load
shall be selected so that the value of the resistance shall not deviate by more than 1 % during
the test. For electronic controlgear for LED lamps/modules a pure resistive load may cause
malfunction of the DUT. In these cases a combination of diodes and variable resistor
equivalent to the LED lamp/module shall be used, which should ensure the maximum rated
output current at the rated output voltage.
NOTE When a special starting procedure is used to allow the constant current controlgear to function properly,
the method with the equivalent resistor can be used.
J.4 Starting conditions
Control gears shall start rated load(s) without adversely affecting the performance when
operated in emergency mode.
Compliance is under consideration.
J.5 Operating condition
The provisions of 7.2 of IEC 62384:2006 apply at 90 % and 110 % of the rated emergency
supply voltage.
Compliance is checked by measurement.
J.6 Emergency supply current
At the rated emergency supply voltage or voltage range, the emergency supply current shall
not differ by more than ±15 % from the declared value when the control gear is operated in
emergency mode with maximum load power.
The supply shall be of low impedance and low inductance.
Compliance is checked by measurement.
J.7 EMC immunity
For emergency supplied electronic controlgear the requirements of IEC 61547 apply.
J.8 Pulse voltage from central battery systems
The d.c. supplied emergency controlgear shall withstand, without failure, any pulses caused
by switching other equipment in the same circuit.
Compliance is checked by operating the controlgear at the maximum voltage of the rated
voltage range in association with the rated load(s). The controlgear shall withstand, without
failure, the number of pulse voltages given in Table J.1 superimposed, with the same polarity,
on the supply voltage.

LAMP CONTROLGEAR –
Part 2-13: Particular requirements for d.c. or
a.c. supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules
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 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.
This consolidated version of the official IEC Standard and its amendment has been prepared
for user convenience.
IEC 61347-2-13 edition 2.1 contains the second edition (2014-09) [documents 34C/1092/FDIS
and 34C/1106/RVD] and its amendment 1 (2016-07) [documents 34C/1199/FDIS and 34C/1211/
RVD].
In this Redline version, a vertical line in the margin shows where the technical content is
modified by amendment 1. Additions are in green text, deletions are in strikethrough red text.
A separate Final version with all changes accepted is available in this publication.
© IEC 2016
International Standard IEC 61347-2-13 has been prepared by subcommittee 34C: Auxiliaries
for lamps, of IEC technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition.
a) Replacement of the SELV-equivalent requirements by SELV requirements and reference
to the SELV requirements of Annex L in IEC 61347-1:2007/AMD2:2012.
b) Reference to IEC 61347-1 for the protection against accidental contact with live parts,
moisture resistance and insulation and electric strength.
c) New Annex J for emergency lighting requirements.
This standard shall be used in conjunction with IEC 61347-1.Where the requirements of any
of the clauses of IEC 61347-1 are referred to in this standard by the phrase "The
requirements of Clause n of IEC 61347-1:2007/AMD1:2010/AMD2:2012, apply", this phrase is
interpreted as meaning that all requirements of the clause in question of Part 1 apply, except
any which are clearly inapplicable to the specific type of lamp controlgear covered by this
particular part of IEC 61347-2.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
In this standard, the following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type,
– test specifications: in italic type,
– notes: in small roman type.
A list of all parts in the IEC 61347, published under the general title Lamp controlgear can be
found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendment will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
IMPORTANT – The 'colour inside' logo on the cover page of this publication indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct
understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a
colour printer.

INTRODUCTION
This second edition of IEC 61347-2-13 is published in conjunction with IEC 61347-1. The
formatting into separately published parts provides for ease of future amendments and
revisions. Additional requirements will be added as and when a need for them is recognized.
This standard and the parts which make up IEC 61347-2, in referring to any of the clauses of
IEC 61347-1 specify the extent to which such a clause is applicable and the order in which the
tests are to be performed; they also include additional requirements as necessary. All parts
which make up IEC 61347-2 are self-contained and therefore do not include references to
each other.
INTRODUCTION TO AMENDMENT 1
This Amendment 1 to IEC 61347-2-13: 2014 has been developed by SC 34C to include the
following significant technical changes:
a) Dated reference to Part 1 has been deleted to allow the use of this Part 2 in conjunction
with the latest updated version of IEC 61347-1.
This Part 2-13 is intended to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 61347-1
and its amendments.
b) Clause 21 has been introduced to verify the U as the maximum output voltage in any
out
load conditions. This clause has been circulated in SC 34C as Fragment 3 of
34C/1038/DC, but was not included in the 34C/1092/FDIS.

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61347 specifies particular safety requirements for electronic controlgear for
use on d.c. or a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V (a.c. at 50 Hz or 60 Hz) and at an output frequency
which can deviate from the supply frequency, associated with LED modules.
Controlgear for LED modules specified in this standard are designed to provide constant
voltage or current at SELV or higher voltages. Deviations from the pure voltage and current
types do not exclude the gear from this standard.
The annexes of IEC 61347-1 which are applicable according to this Part 2-13 and using the
word “lamp” are understood to also comprise LED modules.
Particular requirements for SELV controlgear are given in Annex I.
Performance requirements are covered by IEC 62384.
Plug-in controlgear, being part of the luminaire, are covered as for built-in controlgear by the
additional requirements of the luminaire standard.

voltage for which the controlgear is declared (U ).
out
The test shall be carried out with the controlgear supplied at rated supply voltage and loaded
in maximum load condition with LED modules. The number of LED modules is dependent on
the maximum of the declared electrical parameters. Then the load is modified in order to find
the load condition where the voltage between terminals gives the maximum values.
NOTE 1 The load may be modified by connecting other LED modules (or resistor if the result is not affected by
the type of load) in series or in parallel to modify the total load impedance. Normally the voltage rises by adding
LEDs in series. In most cases the highest voltage is reached in no-load condition.
Compliance is checked by measuring the maximum output voltage between the terminals and
the maximum output voltage between the terminals and earth in any load condition.
NOTE 2 The voltage between terminals and earth does not need to be measured in case of controlgears providing
insulation between PRI and SEC.

J.1 General
This annex specifies particular safety requirements of a.c., a.c./d.c. or d.c. supplied electronic
controlgear for emergency lighting purposes intended for connection to a centralized
emergency power supply, as, for example, central battery supply system. It does not apply to
electronic controlgear used in self-contained emergency lighting luminaires as this is covered
by IEC 61347-2-7.
J.2 Marking
J.2.1 Mandatory markings
The controlgear shall, in addition to the requirements of 7.1, be clearly marked with the
following mandatory marking:
a) a.c., a.c./d.c. or d.c maintained emergency electronic controlgear shall be marked with the
symbol:
[SOURCE: IEC 61347-2-7:2011]
b) rated emergency power supply voltage or voltage range.
J.2.2 Information to be provided if applicable
In addition to the above mandatory markings and the requirements of 7.2, the following
information shall either be given on the control gear or be made available in the
manufacturer’s catalogue or similar.
a) Limits of the ambient temperature range within which an independent control gear will
operate satisfactorily at the declared voltage (range).
b) Emergency output factor (EOF ). In case of settable electrical output parameter, a range
x
shall be provided.
c) Information on whether the control gear is intended for use in luminaires for high-risk task
area lighting.
J.3 General notes on tests
One specimen shall be submitted to all the tests.
The tests shall be carried out with the length of the output cable of both 20 cm and 200 cm
unless otherwise declared by the manufacturer.
To give reproducible measurement results, one or more resistors (R ) shall be used as
load
replacement for the LED lamps/module(s). R is determined from the rated output power
load
and the rated output voltage or rated output current of the controlgear. The resistor (R )
load
shall be selected so that the value of the resistance shall not deviate by more than 1 % during
the test. For electronic controlgear for LED lamps/modules a pure resistive load may cause
© IEC 2016
malfunction of the DUT. In these cases a combination of diodes and variable resistor
equivalent to the LED lamp/module shall be used, which should ensure the maximum rated
output current at the rated output voltage.
NOTE When a special starting procedure is used to allow the constant current controlgear to function properly,
the method with the equivalent resistor can be used.
J.4 Starting conditions
Control gears shall start rated load(s) without adversely affecting the performance when
operated in emergency mode.
Compliance is under consideration.
J.5 Operating condition
The provisions of 7.2 of IEC 62384:2006 apply at 90 % and 110 % of the rated emergency
supply voltage.
Compliance is checked by measurement.
J.6 Emergency supply current
At the rated emergency supply voltage or voltage range, the emergency supply current shall
not differ by more than ±15 % from the declared value when the control gear is operated in
emergency mode with maximum load power.
The supply shall be of low impedance and low inductance.
Compliance is checked by measurement.
J.7 EMC immunity
For emergency supplied electronic controlgear the requirements of IEC 61547 apply.
J.8 Pulse voltage from central battery systems
The d.c. supplied emergency controlgear shall withstand, without failure, any pulses caused
by switching other equipment in the same circuit.
Compliance is checked by operating the controlgear at the maximum voltage of the rated
voltage range in association with the rated load(s). The controlgear shall withstand, without
failure, the number of pulse voltages given in Table J.1 superimposed, with the same polarity,
on the supply voltage.
