FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the IEC on technical matters, prepared by technical committees on
which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as
possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
3) They have the form of recommendations for international use published in the form of standards, technical
reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
International Standard IEC 901 has been prepared by sub-committee 34A: Lamps, of IEC
technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
34A/588/FDIS 34A/634/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.
Annexes A, B and C form an integral part of this standard.
Annexes D and E are for information only.
This second edition of IEC 901 cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1987,
amendment 1 (1989) and amendment 2 (1992). The main changes relate to:
– the removal of safety related items;
– the abandonment of the division into three sections;
– the introduction of new terminology;
– a new numbering of the lamp data sheets;
– the introduction of new lamp data sheets.

SINGLE-CAPPED FLUORESCENT LAMPS –
PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
1 Section 1: General
1.1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the performance requirements for single-capped
fluorescent lamps for general lighting service.
The requirements of this standard relate only to type testing. Conditions of compliance,
including methods of statistical assessment, are under consideration.
The following lamp types and modes of operation with external ballasts are included:
a) lamps operated with an internal means of starting, having preheated cathodes, for oper-
ation on a.c. mains frequencies;
b) lamps operated with an external means of starting, having preheated cathodes, for
operation on a.c. mains frequencies with the use of a starter, and additionally operating on
high frequency;
c) lamps operated with an external means of starting, having preheated cathodes, for oper-
ation on a.c. mains frequencies without the use of a starter (starterless), and additionally
operating on high frequency;
d) lamps operated with an external means of starting, having preheated cathodes, for oper-
ation on high frequency;
e) lamps operated with an external means of starting, having non-preheated cathodes, for
operation on high frequency.
1.2 General statement
It may be expected that lamps which comply with this standard will start and operate satisfactorily at
voltages between 92 % and 106 % of rated supply voltage and at an ambient air temperature of
between 10 °C and 50 °C, when operated with a ballast complying with IEC 60921 or IEC 60929,
where relevant with a starter complying with IEC 60155 or IEC 60927, and in a luminaire complying
with IEC 60598-1.
NOTE For some lamps, additional information for high-frequency ballast design is given for proper starting at an
ambient air temperature of –15 °C.
1.3 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text,
constitute provisions of this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent
amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. However, parties to
agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility
of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated
references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of

Annex C
(normative)
Method of test for lumen maintenance and life
C.1 General
The luminous flux at a given time in the life of a lamp shall be measured as specified in
annex B.
During the life testing, lamps shall be operated as follows.
Lamps shall be operated at an ambient temperature of between 15 °C and 50 °C. Excessive
draughts shall be avoided and the lamps shall not be subject to extreme vibration and shock.
Lamps shall be operated in the test position as specified on the relevant lamp data sheet.
For lamps with external means of starting, the connections of the lamp contacts, with
reference to the terminations of the ballast, shall not be changed for the whole course of the
tests.
Lamps shall be operated in the circuit for which they are intended by the manufacturer.
Lamps shall be switched off for 15 min after each 2 h 45 min of operation.
NOTE In North America, a cycle of 3 h on, 20 min off is used.
C.2 Lamps for operation on a.c. mains frequencies
The ballast used shall comply with the requirements of IEC 60921.
When the ballast, at its rated voltage, is associated with a test lamp, the lamp shall dissipate
a power which does not differ from its rated value by more than 4 %. A test lamp is a lamp
whose voltage at lamp terminals does not deviate by more than 2 % from its rated value,
when operated with its reference ballast.
NOTE The choice of the type of ballasts for these tests is left open, but the type used may have an influence on
the results of the test. It is recommended that the type of ballast employed should be stated. In case of doubt, the
use of an inductive type of ballast is recommended, because such a type has the smallest number of parameters
capable of affecting the results.
For lamps operated with an internal or external starter, the preheating current, at rated supply
voltage, shall not differ by more than 10 % from the rated value specified on the relevant lamp
data sheet.

Lamps with an internal starter should not be operated on high frequency circuits.
D.3 Prestarting conditions for high frequency operated lamps
For lamps operated at high frequency with an external means of starting, and having
preheated cathodes, the requirements for proper preheating are specified on the relevant
lamp data sheet. An explanation of these requirements is given in annex D of IEC 60929 and
in annex B of IEC 60927.
D.4 Frequency to be used for high frequency operated lamps
For lamps designed for operation at high frequency, a frequency range is prescribed for the
reference ballast and for the testing of lamps (starting, electrical and photometric
characteristics). This frequency range has been chosen for ease of reproducing test results
and is not intended to restrict the design of high frequency ballasts, where for practical
reasons a higher frequency may be appropriate.
