This standard specifies the performance requirements of ballasts for discharge lamps such as high-pressure mercury lamps, low-pressure sodium lamps, high-pressure sodium lamps and metal halide lamps. Chapters 12 to 15 specify specific requirements for specific types of ballasts. This standard discusses ballasts for inductive discharge lamps using 50Hz or 60Hz AC power below 1000V. The rated power, size and characteristics of the lamps are in compliance with the corresponding IEC lamp standards.
