Introduction

GB/T 24461—2023 Technical Requirements for Cleanroom Lamps


I. Background and Significance of Standard Revision

Cleanrooms are special environments that require strict control of particle and pollutant concentrations and are widely used in electronics, medicine, bioengineering and other fields. With the advancement of science and technology and changes in application needs, the GB/T 24461—2009 version of the standard can no longer fully meet the technical requirements of modern cleanroom lamps. This revision mainly targets:

  • New transient light artifact (TLA) terminology and control requirements
  • Strengthen electromagnetic compatibility and photostability testing
  • Optimize the sealing structure and dustproof performance of lamps
  • Improve the light flux maintenance life standard of LED lamps

II. Standard Framework Comparison Table

Standard Dimensions 2009 Edition Requirements 2023 Edition Updates
Scope of Application Applicable only to recessed lamps Covering fixed and recessed lamps, and extended to ceiling mounted lamps
Term Definition Not involving concepts related to transient light artifacts New professional terms such as fluctuation depth, flicker, and stroboscopic effect
Technical requirements No electromagnetic compatibility and transient light characteristic requirements Add electromagnetic compatibility test and transient light artifact limit requirements

III. Interpretation of core technologies and implementation suggestions

1. Transient light artifact (TLA) control requirements

Transient light artifacts are important indicators that may cause visual discomfort during the use of clean room lamps, mainly including:

  • Fluctuation depth: must comply with the no significant effect level (NOEL) limit requirements of IEEE Std1789-2015
  • Flicker and stroboscopic effects: Both the SVM value and $P_{\mathrm{st}}^{\mathrm{LM}}$ should not exceed 1

2. LED luminous flux maintenance life test method

According to GB/T33721-2017 standard, LED lamps need to be tested under rated working conditions for the time required for the luminous flux to decay to 70% of the initial value to ensure that it is not less than the rated life declared by the manufacturer (usually ≥25,000 hours).

3. Electromagnetic compatibility requirements

Luminaires must comply with the harmonic current, radio frequency disturbance and immunity test requirements in GB17625.1 and IEC TR 61547-1:2017 to avoid electromagnetic interference to the clean room environment.

4. Implementation recommendations

  1. Selection stage:Select lamps that meet the requirements of brightness limit, fluctuation depth and stroboscopic effect limit according to the clean room level.
  2. Installation requirements:Ensure that the sealing structure of the lamp reaches the IP5X protection level to prevent particles from entering and affecting the cleanliness.
  3. Test verification:Regularly monitor the light flux maintenance rate and electromagnetic compatibility indicators in actual applications to ensure long-term stable operation.
