This part of IEC 61347 specifies general and safety requirements for lamp controlgear for use
on d.c. supplies up to 250 V and/or a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
This standard also covers lamp controlgear for lamps which are not yet standardized.
Tests dealt with in this standard are type tests. Requirements for testing individual lamp
controlgear during production are not included.
Requirements for semi-luminaires are given in IEC 60598-1 (see definition 1.2.60).
In addition to the requirements given in this Part 1 of IEC 61347, Annex B sets out general
and safety requirements applicable to thermally protected lamp controlgear.
Annex C sets out additional general and safety requirements as they apply to electronic lamp
