Organic light emitting diode (OLED) Light sources for general lighting - Safety - Part 1: General requirements and tests (IEC 62868-1:2020)

This part of IEC 62868 specifies general safety requirements of OLED products for use on DC
supplies up to 1000 V or AC supplies up to 1000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz for indoors and similar
general lighting purposes.
This document applies to any OLED light sources which are not covered by IEC 62868-2 (all
parts).
NOTE 1 Only test methods for DC operated OLED light sources are provided in this document. Provisions for AC
operated OLED products are under consideration.
NOTE 2 The construction of OLED tiles and panels is illustrated in Figure A.1 to Figure A.4 in Annex A.
NOTE 3 The OLED lighting system consisting of OLED panels or modules is illustrated in Annex D.
NOTE 4 This document applies to OLED light sources (tiles, panels, modules) which are composed of OLED
luminaires or OLED lamps, and it is intended so that the OLED light source in accordance with this document fits in
IEC 60598 (all parts) as a component of lighting equipment, in combination with other components.
NOTE 5 Where an appropriate Part 2 of IEC 62868 for an OLED light source does not exist, the nearest
applicable Part 2 of IEC 62868 can be used as a guide to the requirements and tests.

Ta del standarda IEC 62868 določa splošne varnostne zahteve za izdelke OLED za uporabo z enosmerno napajalno napetostjo do 1000 V ali izmenično napajalno napetostjo do 1000 V pri frekvenci 50 Hz ali 60 Hz za notranjo osvetlitev in podobne namene splošne razsvetljave. Ta dokument se uporablja za vse svetlobne vire OLED, ki niso zajeti v standardu IEC 62868-2 (vsi deli). OPOMBA 1: V tem dokumentu so podane le preskusne metode za svetlobne vire OLED za enosmerni tok. Ukrepi za izdelke OLED za izmenični tok so v obravnavi. OPOMBA 2: Sestava ploščic in plošč OLED je prikazana na slikah od A.1 do A.4 v dodatku A. OPOMBA 3: Svetlobni sistem OLED, sestavljen iz plošč ali modulov OLED, je prikazan na sliki v dodatku D. OPOMBA 4: Ta dokument se uporablja za svetlobne vire OLED (ploščice, plošče, module), ki so sestavljeni iz svetilk ali sijalk OLED; njegov namen je, da svetlobni vir OLED v skladu s tem dokumentom ustreza standardu IEC 60598 (vsi deli) kot sestavni del opreme za razsvetljavo, v kombinaciji z drugimi sestavnimi deli. OPOMBA 5: Če ustrezni 2. del standarda IEC 62868 za svetlobni vir OLED ne obstaja, je mogoče kot vodilo za zahteve in preskuse uporabiti najustreznejši 2. del standarda IEC 62868.

ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (OLED) LIGHT
SOURCES FOR GENERAL LIGHTING – SAFETY –

Part 1: General requirements and tests

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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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 62868-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 34A: Lamps, of IEC
technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This first edition cancels and replaces IEC 62868 published in 2014.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
34A/2177/FDIS 34A/2185/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 62868 provides a set of general safety requirements and tests of OLED light
sources which are applicable to general indoor lightings. This document specifies the
requirements and tests for simple OLED light sources which do not include active electronic
components and consist of rigid substrates. It applies to the common requirements and tests
to verify the safety of all types of OLED light sources such as OLED modules and flexible
OLED panels. This document applies to OLED panels and tiles which consist of rigid
substrates. It also applies to any OLED light sources which are not specified in IEC 62868-2
1
(all parts) .
The parts which make up the IEC 62868-2 series, in referring to any clauses of this document,
specify the extent of application of this document; they also include additional requirements
and tests as necessary.
Where the requirements of any clauses of this document are referred to in the various parts
that make up the IEC 62868-2 series by the phrase "The requirements of Clause n of
IEC 62868-1 apply", this phrase will be interpreted as meaning that all requirements of the
clauses in question of this document apply, except any which are clearly inapplicable to a
particular type of OLED light source covered by the Part n of the IEC 62868-2 series
concerned.
The safety requirements of this document are intended to ensure that electrical lightings
constructed in accordance with this document do not endanger the safety of users or
properties when the light sources are properly installed, maintained and used in applications.
Particular requirements and tests for OLED light sources which include any active electronic
components and consist of flexible substrate will be the subject of a separate standard, as the
need arises.
