Scope
1.1 The requirements specified in this Standard cover non-coherent light-emitting diode (LED) equipment that is intended for operation in the visible light spectrum between 400 and 700 nm, for installation on branch circuits of 600 V nominal or less, in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, and for connection to isolated (non–utility-connected) power sources, such as generators, batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, and the like. These requirements cover a) LED controlgear; b) LED controllers that are intended to be integral to the luminaire or located remotely from the luminaire when the LED controller is supplied from and controls the luminaire using only Class 2 circuits; c) component parts such as arrays, modules, and packages; and d) equipment that is an integral part of a luminaire or other lighting equipment, and are intended to supplement those in other end-product standards: i) CSA C22.2 No. 207; ii) CSA C22.2 No. 250.4; iii) CSA C22.2 No. 89; iv) CSA C22.2 No. 141; v) CSA C22.2 No. 166; vi) CSA C22.2 No. 9.0; vii) CSA C22.2 No. 250.0; viii) CSA C22.2 No. 250.2; ix) CSA C22.2 No. 256; x) CSA C22.2 No. 250.7; and xi) CSA C22.2 No. 1993. Notes: 1) Where end applications are not covered by this Standard and no applicable end-product standards exist, additional end-product evaluations using applicable standards are needed. Such end applications include, but are not limited to, LED equipment installed in air handling spaces or in other environmental air spaces (plenums), LED equipment in recessed installations where direct contact with thermal insulation could occur, and LED equipment used in fire-rated installations. 2) LED packages (see Annex I) and special use LED arrays (see Annex N) have intended applications other than general illumination and may operate outside of the visible light spectrum. 1.2 These requirements do not anticipate additional construction, marking, and performance considerations for LED equipment used in fire rated installations, environmental air handling spaces, outdoor use in the end-use application, equipment with integral batteries or battery packs, and emergency lighting equipment. LED equipment intended for these end-use applications is subject to additional evaluation as per applicable standards. 1.3 These requirements do not cover the following LED controllers: a) intended for installation inside a remote electrical outlet box containing Class 1 circuits; b) light- or presence-sensitive plug-in locking–type photocontrols for use with area lighting covered by CSA C22.2 No. 284; or c) solid-state dimming controls covered by CSA C22.2 No. 184.1. 1.4 In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application. 1.5 The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard. When used, the values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.
