EN 61347-1:2008 - 2 - Foreword The text of the International Standard IEC 61347-1:2007, prepared by SC 34C, Auxiliaries for lamps, of IEC TC 34, Lamps and related equipment, together with the common modifications prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 34Z, Luminaires and associated equipment, was submitted to the formal vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 61347-1 on 2008-04-16. This European Standard supersedes EN 61347-1:2001 + corrigendum July 2003 + A1:2008. 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. The following dates were fixed: – latest date by which the EN has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement
(dop)
2009-05-01 – latest date by which the national standards conflicting with the EN have to be withdrawn
(dow)
2011-05-01 This Part 1 is to be used in conjunction with the appropriate Part 2, which contains clauses to supplement or modify the corresponding clauses in Part 1, to provide the relevant requirements for each type of product. NOTE In this standard, the following print types are used: – Requirements proper: in roman type. – Test specifications: in italic type. – Explanatory matter: in smaller roman type. Clauses, subclauses, notes, tables and figures which are additional to those in IEC 61347-1:2007 are prefixed „Z“. Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC. __________
- 3 - EN 61347-1:2008 Endorsement notice The text of the International Standard IEC 61347-1:2007 was approved by CENELEC as a European Standard with agreed common modifications as given below. COMMON MODIFICATIONS 16 Creepage distances and clearances Add the following notes after Paragraph 1: NOTE Z1 Attention is drawn to the fact that the values for creepage distances and clearances given in this clause are the absolute minimum. NOTE Z2 The way in which creepage distances and clearances are measured is specified in EN 60664-1. Add the following text after Paragraph 6: Values for creepage distances and clearances may be found for intermediate values of working voltages by linear interpolation between tabulated values. NOTE Z3 For details of pollution degrees or overvoltage categories, EN 60664-1 should be consulted. The minimum distances specified are based on the following parameters: - for use with up to 2 000 m above sea level; - pollution degree 2 where normally only non-conductive pollution occurs but occasionally a temporary conductivity caused by condensation is to be expected; - equipment of impulse withstand category II which is energy-consuming equipment to be supplied from the fixed installation.

NOTE 1 In the case of creepage distances to parts not energized or not intended to be earthed where tracking cannot occur, the values specified for material with PTI ≥ 600 apply for all materials (in spite of the real PTI). For creepage distances subjected to working voltages of less than 60 s duration, the values specified for materials with PTI ≥ 600 apply for all materials. NOTE 2 For creepage distances not liable to contamination by dust or moisture, the values specified for materials with PTI ≥ 600 apply (regardless of the real PTI). NOTE 3 For lamp controlgear specified in EN 61347-2-1, accessible metal parts are rigidly placed in relation to live parts. NOTE 4 The creepage distances and clearances specified in this clause do not apply to those devices specified in EN 61347-2-1 which comply with the dimensions specified in EN 60155. In such instances, the requirements of that standard apply.

LAMP CONTROLGEAR –
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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 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 61347-1 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 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.
61347-1 © IEC:2007 – 9 – The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 34C/776/FDIS 34C/779/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 publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. This Part 1 is to be used in conjunction with the appropriate part 2, which contains clauses to supplement or modify the corresponding clauses in Part 1, to provide the relevant requirements for each type of product. NOTE In this standard, the following print types are used: – Requirements proper: in roman type. – Test specifications: in italic type. – Explanatory matter: in smaller roman type. A list of all parts of the IEC 61347 series, published under the general title Lamp controlgear, can be found on the IEC website. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the maintenance result 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.
61347-1 © IEC:2007 – 11 – INTRODUCTION This part of IEC 61347 provides a set of general and safety requirements and tests which are considered to be generally applicable to most types of lamp controlgear and which can be called up as required by the different parts that make up IEC 61347-2. This Part 1 is thus not to be regarded as a specification in itself for any type of lamp controlgear, and its provisions apply only to particular types of lamp controlgear, to the extent determined by the appropriate part 2 of IEC 61347. The parts which make up IEC 61347-2, in referring to any of the clauses of this part, 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. The order in which the clauses of this part are numbered has no particular significance, as the order in which their provisions apply is determined for each type of lamp controlgear by the appropriate part 2 of IEC 61347-2 series. All such parts are self-contained and therefore do not contain references to each other. Where the requirements of any of the clauses of this part of IEC 61347 are referred to in the various parts that make up IEC 61347-2 by the phrase "The requirements of clause n of IEC 61347-1 apply", this phrase will be interpreted as meaning that all requirements of the clause in question of Part 1 apply, except any which are clearly inapplicable to the particular type of lamp controlgear covered by the part 2 concerned. Lamp controlgear which complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be judged to comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to have other features which impair the level of safety covered by these requirements. Lamp controlgear employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the requirement and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be judged to comply with the safety principles of the standard. Performance requirements for lamp controlgear are the subject of IEC 60921, IEC 60923, IEC 60925, IEC 60927, IEC 60929, IEC 61047 and IEC 62384 (in preparation) as appropriate for the type of lamp controlgear. NOTE Safety requirements ensure that electrical equipment constructed in accordance with these requirements does not endanger the safety of persons, domestic animals or property when properly installed and maintained and used in applications for which it was intended. Requirements for electronic lamp controlgear for other types of lamps will be the subject of a separate standard, as the need arises. NOTE Controlgear can consist of a printed circuit board and may incorporate the following: – controlgear; – lampholder(s); – switch(es); – supply terminals. The lamp controlgear should comply with this standard. The lampholders(s), switch(es) and supply terminals should comply with their own standards.
