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 60927 has been prepared by subcommittee 34C: Auxiliaries for
lamps, of IEC technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This third edition of IEC 60927 replaces the second edition (1996) and its Amendments 1
(1999) and 2 (2004). Subclause 4.5 has been inserted in order to install an obligatory link to
the relevant lamp standard.
This standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 61347-1 and IEC 61347-2-1. It was
established on the basis of the second (2007) edition of IEC 61347-1 and on the basis of the
first (2000) edition and Amendment 1 (2005) of IEC 61347-2-1.

4 General requirements for tests
4.1 Ambient conditions, test quantity and sequence of tests
Only requirements for type tests are included.
Unless otherwise specified, the tests shall be made at an ambient temperature between 10 °C
and 30 °C.
The tests shall be carried out in the order of the clauses of this standard.
The following numbers of samples shall be submitted:
– six samples of starters as defined in 3.1 and 3.2;
– four samples of ignitors (where appropriate, together with those circuit components which
are necessary to carry out the tests).
4.2 Supply voltage
The total harmonic content of the supply voltage shall not exceed 3 %, the harmonic content
being defined as the root-mean-square (r.m.s.) summation of the individual harmonic
components, using the fundamental as 100 %.
Care shall be taken that this applies under all conditions that occur during the measurement.
NOTE This implies that the source of supply will have sufficient power and that the supply circuit has sufficiently
low impedance at supply frequency and impulse frequency compared with the ballast impedance. The correct
impedance at impulse frequency can be obtained by connecting a 2 μF (approximately) capacitor in parallel
with the source.
4.3 Corresponding safety requirements
All starting devices specified in this standard shall meet the requirements of IEC 61347-2-1.
4.4 Immunity
All starting devices specified in this standard shall meet the requirements of IEC 61547.
NOTE The requirements for starting devices are under consideration in IEC 61547.
4.5 Relation to lamp standards
Attention is drawn to lamp performance standards which contain “Information for ignitor
design”. This information should be followed for proper lamp operation. However, this
standard does not require the testing of lamp performance as part of the type test approval for
ignitors.
5 Marking
The marking requirements of IEC 61347-2-1 shall apply, together with the following, to be
either clearly marked on the starting device or made available in the manufacturer’s
catalogue, or the like.
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
60927 © IEC:2007 – 9 –
a) The manufacturer shall declare the type of switching element as defined in 3.1 and 3.2.
b) The manufacturer shall declare the maximum load capacitance for satisfactory operation
of the ignitor.
c) The manufacturer shall declare the allowable maximum case temperature under abnormal
conditions (t + X) of the ignitor.

6 Performance requirements for starters (other than glow starters) for
fluorescent lamps
This clause specifies performance requirements for starters other than glow starters, used
with tubular fluorescent lamps with pre-heated cathodes, and their associated ballasts (see
IEC 60081 and IEC 60921, where appropriate).
6.1 Starting test
6.1.1 Starting test quantity
The starting test quantity consists of six new starters which have not been subjected to the
tests specified in IEC 61347-2-1.
6.1.2 Conditions of acceptance
The type is considered as satisfying the requirements of this subclause if all six starters
comply with the appropriate tests specified in 6.1.4 to 6.1.8. If one failure occurs, a further six
starters shall be selected and tested and all these shall comply. If more than one failure
occurs the starter is deemed not to satisfy the requirements of this clause.
6.1.3 Conditions of test
6.1.3.1 Circuit
The starter is tested in the circuit declared by the manufacturer.
A starting aid complying with the requirements of Table 1 shall be used unless otherwise
indicated on the starter or in the manufacturer’s literature.
In case of doubt a choice shall be made by mutual agreement between the testing authority
and the manufacturer.

6.1.3.2 Ballast
The ballast used shall meet the requirements of IEC 60921, where appropriate. It shall have a
rated voltage equal to the supply voltage, or equal to the lowest value of the supply voltage
range for which the starter is designed.
The rated wattage of the ballast shall be chosen to give the most onerous starting conditions
of the range of lamp types for which the starter is designed. In case of doubt the rated
wattage of the ballast shall correspond to the main lamp type for which the starter is
designed.
Where a starter is designed to operate with different ballast types (e.g. capacitive or
inductive), the tests are made with both types of ballast.
6.1.3.3 Lamps
The lamp shall be of the pre-heated cathode type and, where appropriate, meet the
requirements of IEC 60081. The rated wattage of the lamp shall be equal to the rated wattage
of the ballast used.
For starters of the mechanical type defined in 3.1 the lamp shall normally be of the “with
starter” type. For starters of the electronic type defined in 3.2 the lamp shall normally be of
the "starterless type". Where a choice of lamp of "with starter" or "starterless" type is declared
by the manufacturer, the "with starter" type shall be used.
6.1.4 Starters having a mechanical switching element
6.1.4.1 Speed of operation
a) Current operated starters
A current equal to the minimum pre-heating current prescribed on the relevant lamp data
sheet in IEC 60081 shall be passed through the circuit.
For starters which incorporate a cut-out, the starter shall operate at least once during the
