Abstract

Specifies safety requirements for electronic ballasts for tubular fluorescent lamps for use on a.c. supplies up to 1000 V at 50 or 60 Hz with operating frequencies deviating from the supply frequency.

Scope

This standard specifies general and safety requirements for electronic ballasts for use on a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz with operating frequencies deviating from the supply frequency, associated with tubular fluorescent lamps as specified in IEC 60081 and other tubular fluorescent lamps for high-frequency operation.
Particular requirements for electronic ballasts with means of protection against overheating are given in annex B.
Particular requirements for a.c./d.c. supplied electronic ballasts for maintained emergency lighting are given in annex C.
