| Title | Self-ballasted lamps for general lighting services - Safety requirements |
| Project Number | 23940 |
| Abstract/Scope | IEC 60968:2012 specifies the safety and interchangeability requirements, together with the test methods and conditions, required to show compliance of tubular fluorescent and other gas-discharge lamps with integrated means for controlling starting and stable operation (self-ballasted lamps), intended for domestic and similar general lighting purposes, having: - a rated wattage up to 60 W; - a rated voltage of 100 V to 250 V; - Edison screw or bayonet caps. The requirements of this standard relate only to type testing. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1988, Amendment 1:1991 and Amendment 2:1999. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition. a) For reasons of photobiological safety, the scope has been extended. b) A new definition and clause on UV radiation have been introduced. c) Clauses on normative references and an annex on literature were added. d) The latest IEC template has been adapted. |
