The latest European standards for safety lamps

In May 2015, the corresponding European version of the EN62776:2015 has also been issued for the LED lamp manufacturers to export to Europe provides a theoretical basis for safety assessment.

Standard name

IEC/EN62776 - Double-cappedLEDlampsdesignedtoretrofitlinearfluorescentlamps - Safetyspecifications

Application scope

- this standard applies only to LED lamps that meet the following conditions:

The double head input is used for directly replacing the traditional fluorescent lamp tube, and the replacement does not relate to the line change inside the lamp;

G5 or G13 lamp holder;

Power not exceeding 125W;

Input voltage not exceeding 250V.

Remarks

For the replacement of the lamp, the need to change the internal wiring of the LED lamp tube, not within the scope of the standard assessment.

Evaluation of the project - based on the above principles, which focuses primarily on assessment:

Data requirements:

Label requirements: is it suitable for industrial frequency ballast lamps?

Specification: clear and detailed description of the lamp replacement.

Test requirements:

Size and gauge requirements: the product size needs to meet the requirements of the standard lamp size; in the expected high temperature, low temperature environment, still can meet the standard size.

In the lamp directly replace the traditional fluorescent lamp, can not affect the safety of lamps.

LED lamp will not damage the user's product UV, Blu ray, etc..

IEC/EN60598-1 lamps general safety requirements version update

In May 2014, general safety requirements of IEC60598-1:2014 standard (Eighth Edition) officially published, the standard to replace the previous version of IEC60598-1:2008 (version seventh); in January 2015, EN60598-1:2015 EN also entered into force, and in October 20, 2017 officially replaced the previous version of EN60598-1:2008+A11:2009.

Major updates

1, according to the standard update: Based on the structural characteristics of different products, updated some IEC/EN60598-2 standard.

2, with LED lamps as the focus of attention, increase the LED lamps on the optical, electrical and structural safety requirements.

3, update the ClassIII product part of the test requirements.

Specific update project

1) on the basis of the above 3 aspects, the update of the standard:

A (IEC/EN60598-2-6) tungsten lamp with built-in transformer: the new standard will be canceled after the formal entry into force, all tests have been included in the new version of IEC/EN60598-1.

B (IEC/EN60598-2-20) the new version of the official version of the:2015-09-30 (light string) will only be for ordinary lamp strings, no longer contain sealed water pipes (RopeLight).

C) (IEC/EN60598-2-21) (RopeLight): the requirements of the water pipe lamp are separated from the original lamp string standard, and the standard is published in September 30, 2015.

2 (LED) requirements for lighting fixtures include:

A) LED special light source based on the source is divided into ordinary replaceable light source, can not replace the light source, the user can not replace the light source; and for different source types, requirements and structure of different labels and instructions.

(b) for light damage to the LED light source, increased the level of a clear hazard rating (RG0/RG1/RG2/RG3); and based on different hazard levels, there is a corresponding label, instructions and fixed lighting installation requirements.

3) ClassIII product updates include:

A increases the insulation requirements of different voltage levels in the lamp of transformer and driver.

B ClassIII or ClassIII) to relax the lamp lamp structure in the external wire diameter requirements.

C) exempts the working voltage not exceeding 25Vr.m.s. or the 60Vd.c line creepage distance and the electrical clearance request.
