Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.

INTRODUCTION
The first edition of this document specifies uniform requirements for measuring non-active
mode power consumption for all lighting equipment. Present performance standards for
controlgear (IEC 62442 (all parts)) and luminaires (IEC 62722-1), already include some
descriptions for measuring standby power. It is expected that these standards will be
amended, accordingly.
In addition to an illumination function, today’s lighting equipment can execute a variety of
additional non-illumination functions, for example through integrated surveillance cameras,
noise detectors, occupancy counters, vehicular and pedestrian traffic detection, weather
detection, smoke detection, visible light communication and proximity or location devices.
During the execution of these functions, the (multi-function) lighting equipment can operate in
many different (active and non-active) modes. Non-active mode power consumption of (multi-
function) lighting equipment, i.e. the power consumed when the illumination function is off, is
an important aspect of lighting equipment and is becoming more important with the
emergence of connected lighting.
This document defines and describes methods of measurement of electrical power
consumption in non-active mode(s) for lighting equipment. The document is organized into
two main clauses: Clause 4 "General test conditions" and Clause 5 "Measurements".
Clause 4 contains specifications on the general conditions for making the measurements.
Subclauses 4.1 through 4.4 cover conditions for setting up the laboratory, selecting a supply
voltage and suitable instruments for the power measurement. Subclause 4.5 covers aspects
which should be considered when the lighting equipment is connected to a network to work
properly. Subclause 4.5.2 is for wired networks and 4.5.3 and 4.5.4 give setups for wireless
networks using conducted or radiated connections, respectively. These setups for wireless
networks are harmonized with ETSI Standard EN 300 328 and modified for lighting
equipment.
Clause 5 details the procedures for making measurements of the equipment under test (EUT).
Subclause 5.1 gives general instructions for setting the EUT into the possible non-active
mode(s). Subclause 5.2 details the large variety of EUTs. These EUTs can be placed into two
categories: illumination-only (5.2.2) and multi-function (5.2.3) lighting equipment. Traditional
lighting equipment with an illumination-only function is summarized in 5.2.2, Table 1. Multi-
function lighting equipment having additional non-illumination functions is addressed in 5.2.3.
A standardized form for reporting the measured result according to the functions and modes
of the multi-function lighting equipment under test is specified in 5.2.3, Table 2. Table 2 is a
central feature of this document that will enable all users to report their non-active power
results in a consistent manner.
Subclause 5.3 specifies procedures for preparing the EUT to make measurements of the input
power. Instructions for EUTs containing battery charging functions are found in 5.3.2.
Subclause 5.3.3 gives procedures for EUTs having no network provision and 5.3.4 covers
networked EUTs whether wired or wireless.
The measurement procedure is specified in 5.4 and offers three alternative methods and the
specific stability conditions required for each. These methods are adapted for lighting
equipment from IEC 62301:2011. The direct meter method specified in 5.4.2 has the most
limited applicability. It can only be used when the power reading is stable. In cases of
discrepancy, the average reading method (5.4.3) or sampling method (5.4.4) have
precedence. The average reading method is suitable only for EUTs having stable modes
whereas the sampling method is suited for cyclic or unstable modes and if the mode is of
limited duration.
IEC 63103:2020 © IEC 2020 – 7 –
Informative annexes are included to illustrate various measurement setups (Annex B and
Annex C) and Annex D provides practical examples of controlgear, for example involving
lighting equipment having a digital addressable lighting interface network in accordance with
IEC 62386 (all parts), and of luminaires.
The methods defined and described in this document are not intended to be used to measure
power consumption of (multi-function) lighting equipment during active mode(s) (also called
"on mode(s)"), as these are generally covered by IEC standards or other product standards.
This document provides methods of measurement for lighting equipment. However, the
methods specified in this document could also be used to measure lighting system models. A
system model is a full-size portion of the lighting system containing specific functions and can
set every mode of a portion of the system. The system models should be scalable to the
entire lighting system additively. Thus, the total non-active mode power consumption of the
system should equal the summation of power measured in each system model.
Using an adaptive roadway and pedestrian lighting system as an example for illustration, the
following three system models could be present:
– (A) five luminaires connected to one daylight sensor; illuminate to compensate daylight;
– (B) a luminaire with a pedestrian sensor, a daylight sensor, connected to a crosswalk
illumination; illuminate the crosswalk upon sensing a pedestrian when needed;
– (C) a dimmable luminaire with a vehicle detector; illuminate upon sensing a vehicle when
needed.
Assume the lighting system comprises 50 A-, 10 B-, and 20 C-system models, then the total
power consumption for a specified mode of the system would be
Power(mode) = 50 × power(A) + 10 × power(B) + 20 × power(C). Table 2 (5.2.3) could be
used to specify the measurement of a system model set in various combinations of modes. In
this way, the system is evaluated in measurable pieces (system models) set to function
interactively as the entire system is intended for each mode.

4.1 General
Unless otherwise specified in relevant product standards or instructions for use,
measurements on the equipment under test (EUT) shall be made under the test conditions
and with measuring instruments specified in 4.2 to 4.5.
4.2 Laboratory and environmental conditions
The test shall be carried out at a room temperature of (25 ± 5) °C.
4.3 Supply voltage
4.3.1 Supply voltage and frequency
Tests shall be carried out at the rated voltage and at the rated frequency.
In the case where a rated voltage range is specified, tests shall be carried out at the minimum
and maximum value of that specified voltage range.
In case of alternative rated voltages, tests shall be performed separately for each rated
voltage.
In case of alternative rated AC frequencies or a rated frequency range, tests shall be
performed at the minimum and maximum frequency.
The supply voltage and the frequency shall be maintained constant within ±1 % during the
test.
4.3.2 Supply voltage waveform
In case of AC supply voltage, the total harmonic distortion (THD), up to and including the 13th
harmonic, of the supply voltage when supplying the EUT in the specified mode, shall not

– 12 – IEC 63103:2020 © IEC 2020
4.5 Network aspects
4.5.1 General
When the external trigger to change between active mode and non-active mode originates
from a network connection, care shall be taken to ensure that the network in question is
properly configured and connected to the EUT, to obtain an accurate measure of power
consumption. Where the use of additional products/components is needed for the
measurement of the EUT care shall be taken in the selection and characterization of these
items such that they are fully representative to the degree that the measurement accuracy for
the EUT is not adversely affected. The instructions for use shall contain information about
which functions can be turned off for the measurement and how to turn them off.
Care shall be taken as several power levels can be possible (e.g. power can be affected by
network connection quality, connection speed or the number and type of network
connections). The power consumption can also cycle in these modes.
For non-active mode power consumption measurements, the network functionality shall be
limited to setting the (non-active) mode of the EUT, such that no additional power
consumption is induced to the EUT beyond the need to set and maintain the non-active mode.
To test an EUT connected to a wired network, guidance is given in 4.5.2.
For a wireless network, there can be a difference in power consumption between the wireless
device looking for a connection (listening) and where the network connection is established. It
is important to consider that in a network, the energy consumption of the EUT can be affected
by its design, the environment and user interaction as well as network interaction.
When an EUT has the capability to connect to multiple wireless networks, non-active mode
power shall be determined for all networks independently.
An EUT connected to a wireless network can be configured either with an antenna connector
or an integrated antenna. In the case where the EUT has antenna connectors, the EUT can be
tested either by using a cabled connection (see 4.5.3) or by using the integrated antenna (for
direct radiating measurements, see 4.5.4).
NOTE In the case of a network receiver that is only waiting for trigger signal and where the power does not
change due to the quality of the network, there is no need to establish networks in accordance with 4.5.3 and 4.5.4.
4.5.2 Wired networks
Wired networks can induce power consumption by the EUT which is not linked to the intended
function to change modes of the lighting equipment. During measurements in non-active
mode, the EUT and a suitable controller shall be the only devices being connected to the bus.
Communication in such wired network shall be limited to what is needed to switch the EUT
from non-active mode to active mode within the time specified. During measurements, the
high voltage level of the communication bus (representing one logic state) shall be set to the
rated value with a tolerance of ±2 %. If a rated voltage range is specified, the middle value of
the range shall be set with a tolerance of ±2 %. The low voltage level of the bus shall be

When this test method is selected, the following steps shall be employed to prepare the EUT
for measurement:
– For a frequency hopping EUT, operating channel variation is accepted as is.
– For a non-frequency hopping EUT, the EUT shall be set to an operating channel that will
be employed when the EUT is used for its intended application. The operating channel
frequency shall be recorded.
– A communication link is established between the EUT and the associated companion
device using the test setup shown in Figure 1. The attenuation of the variable attenuator
shall be increased in 1 dB steps to the maximum value at which the packet error rate
(PER) remains less than or equal to 10 %. The manufacturer may specify an alternative
PER if appropriate for the intended use of the EUT. The resultant signal level at the input
of the EUT is then P and shall be recorded.

4.5.4 Wireless networks: radiated connection for testing
For an EUT with integral antennas, i.e. without antenna connectors, testing shall be
performed using radiated measurements in accordance with the test setup shown in Figure 2.
When this test method is selected, the following steps shall be employed to prepare the EUT
for measurement:
– A test site as described in Annex B of ETSI standard EN 300 328 V2.1.1 (2016-11) and
applicable measurement procedures as described in Annex C, Clauses C.1 to C.4
inclusive of the same standard shall be used.
– The test setup shall take the form shown in Figure 2.

separation from the EUT shall be adjusted until the packet error rate (PER) approaches
but remains less than or equal to 10 %. The manufacturer may specify an alternative PER
if appropriate for the intended use of the EUT.
– The resultant signal level at the input of the EUT is measured by a spectrum analyser
using a substitution antenna as shown in Figure 3. The measurement distance between
antennas and power setting of the signalling unit or companion device are kept fixed. The
absolute signal level, P , at the EUT shall be recorded as a calibration.

5 Measurements
5.1 General
The purpose of the measurements is to determine the power consumption in persistent non-
active mode(s) of lighting equipment. A non-active mode is persistent when power
consumption is constant or when there are several power levels that occur in a regular
sequence.
NOTE 1 During transition from the active mode to the non-active mode some EUTs could be waiting in a higher
power state while transition tasks are performed, or circuits are energized or de-energized, so they can take some
time to enter a stable state.
NOTE 2 Where the EUT mode changes automatically it can sometimes be necessary to operate an EUT through
the automatic sequence several times on a trial basis to ensure that sequence is fully understood and documented
before test results are recorded and reported. A sequence of separate EUT modes can also exhibit a regular
ongoing pattern of power levels.
NOTE 3 While limited duration modes can be documented using measurements in accordance with this
document, the results for such modes can be reported as an energy consumption (Wh) and related time intervals.
A variety of non-active modes can be considered for assessing, for example:
– standby mode;
– networked standby mode;
– off mode;
– no-load mode.
The EUTs assessed are described in 5.2. To assess a specific mode, an EUT shall be
prepared as described in 5.3. Guidance for EUTs with battery charging provisions is also
given in 5.3.2. After preparation, power consumption of the EUT in the specified non-active
mode is determined via the procedure described in 5.4.
5.2 Equipment under test (EUT)
5.2.1 General
The EUT to be assessed on non-active mode power consumption can be lighting equipment
for illumination-only (for example lamps, luminaires and controlgear) and multi-function
lighting equipment (which include additional non-illumination function(s)). Details on
illumination-only lighting equipment is given in 5.2.2 and on multi-function lighting equipment
in 5.2.3.
5.2.2 Illumination-only lighting equipment
Illumination-only lighting equipment can consist of one or more components, which function as
light source (LS), power supply (PS) and control unit (CU). In Figure 4 these three
components are shown with their symbols used throughout this document.

a) Light source b) Power supply c) Control unit

The light source (see Figure 4 a)) is the component responsible for generating light from the
energy delivered by the power supply.
NOTE For the purposes of this document, the light source is used to indicate a luminous element as defined in
IEC 60050-845:2020, 845-28-001.
The power supply (see Figure 4 b)) is the component converting, in a controlled way, power
from a supply voltage into power entering the light source for light generation.
The control unit (see Figure 4 c)) is the component acting as the interface between (external)
communication options and the EUT. The control unit is instrumental in changing the EUT
mode from active to non-active mode and vice versa, except when physica
