Overview
EN 60923:2005/A1:2006 (IEC 60923:2005/A1:2006) is a CENELEC amendment covering auxiliaries for lamps - ballasts for discharge lamps (excluding tubular fluorescent lamps). The document defines performance requirements and type‑test-related provisions for ballasts used with discharge lamps, and clarifies the relationship between ballast testing and lamp performance standards. Amendment A1 was approved on 2006-08-01 and updates the original EN 60923:2005.
Key topics and requirements
- Performance requirements for ballasts used with discharge lamps (tubular fluorescent lamps are explicitly excluded).
- Type testing and general test notes - amendment A1 adds a specific note emphasizing that lamp performance standards contain “information for ballast design,” and that such lamp performance testing is not required as part of the ballast type‑test approval under this standard.
- Design guidance linkage - the standard directs users to follow relevant lamp performance standards when designing ballasts to ensure correct lamp operation, while keeping ballast type‑testing focused on ballast characteristics.
- Standards governance - prepared by IEC TC 34 / SC 34C (Auxiliaries for lamps) and adopted by CENELEC for harmonized national implementation.
(Note: the amendment text clarifies testing intent and cross‑references lamp performance documents; it does not add new lamp test obligations to ballast approvals.)
Applications and who uses it
- Ballast manufacturers - to design and demonstrate compliance of ballasts for discharge lamps with European performance expectations.
- Test laboratories and certification bodies - to apply the amended type‑test framework and interpret test scope for ballast approval.
- Lighting system specifiers and OEMs - to select compliant ballasts and ensure compatibility with lamp performance guidance.
- Regulators and standards committees - for national adoption, implementation and harmonization of product requirements.
Practical use cases include design verification, conformity assessment, procurement specifications, and ensuring reliable lamp‑ballast interaction in commercial, industrial and public lighting systems that use discharge lamp technologies.
Related standards
- IEC 60923:2005 - base international standard (amended by A1).
- Lamp performance standards (referenced generically) - contain “information for ballast design” and should be consulted to ensure correct lamp operation alongside ballast compliance.
