- Scope
- "This International Standard specifies the safety and interchangeability requirements@ together with the test methods and conditions@ required to show compliance of LED lamps with integrated means for stable operation@ intended for domestic and similar general lighting purposes@ having: ?C a rated power up to 60 W ?C a rated voltage equal to or less than 50 V a.c. r.m.s. or equal or less 120 V ripple free d.c.@ ?C caps according to Table 1. NOTE 1 The value of 60 W rated power is under consideration. Heat management may require lower power. This standard shall be used for products in conjunction with ELV lighting installations. With reference to IEC 60364-7-715@ in ELV lighting installations only SELV sources are applied. Where bare conductors are used@ the maximum lamp voltage shall be 25 V a.c. or 60 V d.c. The requirements of this standard relate only to type testing. For lamps > 25 V a.c. or 60 V d.c.@ recommendations for whole production testing or batch testing are given in IEC 60598-1 Table Q.1@ column class III luminaire@ column 4 or 5. NOTE 2 Where in this standard the term ""lamp(s)"" is used@ it is understood to stand for semi-integrated LED lamp(s) with supply voltages as in the scope above@ except where it is obviously assigned to other types of lamps. An overview of systems composed of LED modules@ lamps and controlgear is given in IEC 62504. Supply voltage does not mean necessarily mains voltage@ e.g. 230 V / 50 Hz. A semi-integrated LED lamp can also be driven on a supply voltage with 12 V a.c. or d.c. The control unit in the controlgear in a semi-integrated LED lamp then provides the conversion of 12 V a.c. or d.c. to a special current and voltage to power the LED inside the semi-integrated LED lamp. Schematically@ the types of LEDni and LEDsi lamps are shown in Figure 1."
