Controlgear for electric light sources - Safety - Part 2-12: Particular requirements - DC or AC supplied electronic controlgear for discharge lamps (excluding fluorescent lamps) (IEC 61347-2-12:2024)

IEC 61347-2-12:2024 is available as IEC 61347-2-12:2024 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.

IEC 61347-2-12:2024 specifies safety requirements for electronic controlgear for use on AC supplies at 50 Hz or 60 Hz up to 1 000 V or DC supplies up to 1 000 V. The type of controlgear is a convertor that can contain igniting and stabilizing elements for operation of a discharge lamp under direct current or at a frequency that can deviate from the supply frequency.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2005 and Amendment 1:2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) introduction of dated references where appropriate;
b) clarification of sample item numbers;
c) addition of new information requirements (items v), w) and x) of IEC 61347-1:2015, 7.1 and IEC 61347-1:2015/AMD1:2017, 7.1).

IEC 61347-2-12:2024 est disponible sous forme de IEC 61347-2-12:2024 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.

L'IEC 61347-2-12:2024 spécifie les exigences de sécurité des appareillages électroniques destinés à être utilisés avec des alimentations jusqu'à 1 000 V en courant alternatif à 50 Hz ou 60 Hz ou avec des alimentations jusqu'à 1 000 V en courant continu. Le type d'appareillage est un convertisseur qui peut contenir des éléments d'amorçage et de stabilisation pour le fonctionnement d'une lampe à décharge en courant continu ou à une fréquence pouvant s'écarter de la fréquence d'alimentation.
Cette seconde édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2005 et l'Amendement 1:2010. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) ajout de références datées le cas échéant;
b) clarification des numéros d'entités d'échantillonnage;
c) ajout de nouvelles exigences relatives aux informations (marquages v), w) et x) indiqués dans l'IEC 61347-1:2015, 7.1 et l'IEC 61347-1:2015/AMD1:2017, 7.1).

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 Publicati
