This standard specifies general and safety requirements for starting devices (starters and ignitors) for tubular fluorescent and other discharge lamps for use on a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz which produce starting pulses not greater than 5 kV and which are used in combination with lamps and ballasts covered in IEC Publications 81, 188, 192, 662, 920 and 922.
Noie.- A standard on metal halide lamps is under consideration.
This standard also covers starting devices for lamps which are not yet standardized.
It does not apply to glow starters or starting devices which are incorporated in discharge lamps or which are manually operated. Preheat transformers for tubular fluorescent lamps are covered by IEC Publication 920.
Requirements for starting devices producing pulses of more than 5 kV are under consideration.
Tests in this standard are type tests. Requirements for testing individual starting devices during production are not included.
Note.- Glow starters are included in IEC Publication 155.
