Overview

EN 60081:1998/A11:2018 is a CENELEC amendment to the European standard for double‑capped fluorescent lamps describing performance specifications and test methods. Prepared by CLC/TC 34 and approved in February 2018, this amendment integrates additional definitions, measurement requirements and informative Annexes (ZZA, ZZB) to support compliance with EU ecodesign (Regulation 245/2009) and energy labelling (Regulation 874/2012) legislation. Where EU Regulations set parameter limits, those limits take precedence over limits in the standard.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope: Performance specifications for double‑capped fluorescent lamps (tubular, non‑integrated).
• Definitions added: luminous efficacy (η = luminous flux / lamp power), lamp lumen maintenance factor (LLMF), and lamp survival factor (LSF) - defined in line with Regulation 245/2009.
• Measurement methods:
  • Luminous flux and lamp power measurements per Annex B; efficacy calculated from these measurements.
  • Chromaticity and correlated colour temperature (CCT) calculated following CIE 15; colour rendering index (CRI) per CIE 13.3.
  • Lumen maintenance (LLMF) and survival (LSF) measured under conditions described in Annexes B and C; survival indicates fraction of lamps still operating or above ~50% rated output.
• Mercury content: Average mercury measured using CV‑AAS per EN 62321‑4 with sample preparation per EN 62554.
• Ballast considerations: HF measurement ballast characteristics are specified where a lamp is rated for both mains frequency and high‑frequency operation.
• Normative references: Includes IEC/EN references for photometry, ballasts, auxiliaries and lamp safety (Annex ZA replaces and lists corresponding publications).
• Regulatory linkage: Annex ZZA maps clauses to ecodesign requirements; Annex ZZB maps to energy‑labelling parameters, giving a presumption of conformity where cited in the Official Journal.

Applications and who uses it

• Lamp and lighting manufacturers use EN 60081:1998/A11 to design, test and document product performance (flux, efficacy, lifetime metrics).
• Independent test laboratories apply the standard’s measurement procedures for certification and compliance testing.
• Regulatory and market surveillance bodies rely on the normative links to EU ecodesign and energy labelling regulations when assessing conformity.
• Lighting designers, specifiers and procurement teams reference the standard to compare lamp performance and lifetime behavior for installations and tenders.

Related standards (selection)

• EN 62321‑4 (mercury measurement), EN 62554 (sample preparation), CIE 13.3 (CRI), CIE 15 (Colorimetry), IEC/EN standards for ballasts and lamp safety (listed in Annex ZA).

Keywords: EN 60081, double‑capped fluorescent lamps, performance specifications, lamp lumen maintenance, lamp survival factor, luminous efficacy, chromaticity, colour rendering index, ecodesign, energy labelling.
