Overview

EN IEC 62868-2-2:2021 (aligned with IEC 62868-2-2:2020) specifies safety requirements for integrated OLED modules intended for general lighting. It covers integrated OLED modules designed to operate on ripple‑free DC supplies up to 1 000 V or AC supplies up to 1 000 V RMS at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The standard is part of the IEC 62868 series on OLED light sources and is adopted by CENELEC/CLC as a European standard.

Key Topics

This standard focuses on practical safety and conformity aspects for integrated OLED modules, including:

• Scope of use: operation on DC/AC supplies up to 1 000 V (ripple free DC / 50/60 Hz AC).
• Marking and information: content, location, durability and legibility of markings needed for safe use and integration.
• Construction and mechanical safety: requirements to avoid mechanical hazards and ensure robust module construction.
• Electrical safety: fault‑condition handling, insulation resistance, and electric strength (including after humidity treatment).
• Thermal requirements: thermal stress testing and guidance to manage heat for module reliability and safety.
• Creepage and clearance: minimum distances and clearances to prevent electrical breakdown.
• Fire and heat resistance: resistance to heat and fire for parts, materials and assemblies.
• Photobiological safety: assessment to protect users from harmful optical emissions.
• Terminals, connections and earthing: requirements for terminals, screws, current‑carrying parts, corrosion resistance and provisions for protective earthing.
• Protection against accidental contact: guarding live parts and ensuring safe user interaction.
• Information for luminaire design: guidance for integrating OLED modules into luminaires and enclosures.
• Annex A: examples of independent and built‑in integrated OLED modules.

Applications

EN IEC 62868-2-2:2021 is intended for use by:

• Manufacturers of integrated OLED modules and controlgear (drivers) designing products for general lighting.
• Luminaire designers and OEMs integrating OLED modules into fixtures.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies performing safety testing and conformity assessments.
• Compliance and safety engineers ensuring products meet electrical, thermal and photobiological safety requirements.
• Regulators and procurement teams specifying safe OLED lighting components for buildings and public spaces.

Practical outcomes include safer product design, clear marking for end users, validated thermal and electrical performance, and streamlined certification for market access.
