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 60432-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 34A: Lamps, of IEC
technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This second edition of IEC 60432-3 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2002,
Amendment 1 (2005) and Amendment 2 (2008). The document 34A/1567/FDIS, circulated to
the National Committees as Amendment 3, led to the publication of this new edition.
The main changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:
– adapting the cold fill pressure requirements and tests for self-shielded lamps to the state of
the technology,
– introduction of requirements to fully cover photobiological safety according to IEC 62471.

The text of this standard is based on the first edition, its Amendments 1 and 2, and the
following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
34A/1567/FDIS 34A/1585/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.
A list of all the parts in the IEC 60432 series, published under the general title Incandescent
lamps – Safety specifications can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendments 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

The rated voltage marking for lamps intended for use on United Kingdom supply voltages may
be “240 volts” or “240 V”.
NOTE The United Kingdom implementation of 230 V (European harmonization process) allows supply voltages to
remain at 240 V.
Compliance is checked on unused lamps as follows:
– presence and legibility by visual inspection;
– durability by applying the following test.
The area of the marking on the lamp shall be rubbed by hand with a smooth cloth, moistened
with water, for a period of 15 s.
After this test, the marking shall still be legible.

c) For dichroic-coated reflector lamps, the immediate lamp wrapping or container shall be
marked with the symbol as shown in Clause A.3.
NOTE This symbol is not required in North America.
d) Double-capped lamps, with rated voltages 50 V – 250 V, shall be supplied with a cautionary
notice or symbol as shown in Clause A.4 indicating that the luminaire shall be disconnected
from the power supply before insertion or withdrawal of the lamp.
NOTE 1 In the USA, special package marking is required regarding the use of 500 W double-capped halogen
