IEC 61347-2-8:2024 is available as IEC 61347-2-8:2024 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 61347-2-8:2024 specifies safety requirements for ballasts, excluding resistance types, for use on AC supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz, associated with fluorescent lamps with or without pre-heated cathodes operated with or without a starter or starting device and having rated powers, dimensions and characteristics as specified in IEC 60081 and IEC 60901. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2000 and Amendment 1:2006. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) introduction of dated references where appropriate;
b) alignment of clause numbers with those of IEC 61347-1.

IEC 61347-2-8:2024 est disponible sous forme de IEC 61347-2-8:2024 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.
L'IEC 61347-2-8:2024 spécifie les exigences de sécurité des ballasts autres que ceux du type à résistance, destinés à être utilisés avec des alimentations jusqu'à 1 000 V en courant alternatif à 50 Hz ou 60 Hz, associés à des lampes fluorescentes avec ou sans cathodes préchauffées fonctionnant avec ou sans starter ou dispositif d'amorçage et dont les puissances assignées, les dimensions et les caractéristiques sont spécifiées dans l'IEC 60081 et l'IEC 60901. Cette seconde édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2000 et l'Amendement 1:2006. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) ajout de références datées le cas échéant;
b) alignement des numéros d'articles sur ceux de l'IEC 61347-1.
