FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
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.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
This standard, and the parts which make up IEC 61347-1, in referring to any of the clauses of
IEC 61347-1 specify the extent to which such a clause is applicable and the order in which the
tests are to be performed; they also include additional requirements as necessary. All parts
which make up IEC 61347-2 are self-contained and therefore do not include references to
each other.
Where the requirements of any of the clauses of IEC 61347-1 are referred to in this standard
by the phrase “The requirements of Clause n of IEC 61347-1 apply”, this phrase is interpreted
as meaning that all requirements of the clause in question of Part 1 apply, except any which
are clearly inapplicable to the specific type of lamp controlgear covered by this particular part
of IEC 61347-2.

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61347 specifies particular safety requirements for electronic controlgear for
use on d.c. supplies up to 250 V and a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz and at an
output frequency which can deviate from the supply frequency, associated with LED modules.
Controlgear for LED modules specified in this standard are designed to provide constant
voltage or current at SELV or SELV equivalent or higher voltages.Deviations from the pure
voltage and current types do not exclude the gear from this standard.
The annexes of IEC 61347-1 which are applicable according to this Part 2-13 and using the
word “lamp” are understood to also comprise LED modules.
Particular requirements for stationary independent SELV controlgear, which are part of the
wiring in installations, are given in Annex I.
Performance requirements will be covered by IEC 62384 .
Plug-in controlgear, being part of the luminaire, are covered as for built-in controlgear by the
additional requirements of the luminaire standard.

33 2V.
Compliance is checked by measuring the output voltage when steady conditions are
established, the controlgear being connected to rated supply voltage and rated frequency. For
the test under load, the controlgear is loaded with a resistance which would give rated output
at rated output voltage.
For controlgear with more than one rated supply voltage, the requirement is applicable for
each of the rated supply voltages.
Controlgear with a rated output voltage above 25 V shall have insulated terminals.

class of the relevant insulating material, the nature of the material is the governing factor. The
permissible temperature rises are based on the recommendations in IEC 60085. The
materials quoted in Table 3 of IEC 60065 are shown only as examples. If materials other than
those listed in IEC 60085 are used, the maximum temperatures shall not exceed those which
have proved to be satisfactory.
Tests shall be made under conditions such that the controlgear is brought to t , as reached
C

(normative)
Particular additional requirements for independent
SELV d.c. or a.c. supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules

NOTE This annex is under consideration.
I.1 General
This annex applies to independent controlgear for use as SELV supply for class III luminaires
of 25 A maximum.
I.2 Definitions
I.2.1
short-circuit proof controlgear
controlgear in which the temperature rise does not exceed the specified limits when the
controlgear is overloaded or short-circuited and which remains capable of functioning after the
overload is removed
I.2.2
non-inherently short-circuit proof controlgear
short-circuit proof controlgear which incorporates a protective device which opens the circuit
or reduces the current in the input circuit or the output circuit when the controlgear is
overloaded or short-circuited
NOTE Examples of protective devices are fuses, overload releases, thermal fuses, thermal links, thermal cut-
outs, PTC resistors and automatic break-off mechanical devices.
I.2.3
inherently short-circuit proof controlgear
short-circuit proof controlgear in which the temperature, in the case of overload or short circuit
and in the absence of a protective device, does not exceed the specified limits, and which
continues to function after the overload or short circuit is removed
I.2.4
fail-safe controlgear
controlgear which, after abnormal use, fails to function but presents no danger to the user or
surroundings
I.2.5
non-short-circuit proof controlgear
controlgear designed to be protected against excessive temperature by means of a protective
device which is not incorporated in the controlgear
I.2.6
HF transformer
component part of the controlgear operating with frequency deviating from the supply
frequency
61347-2-13  IEC:2006 – 37 –
I.2.7
open-circuit proof controlgear
controlgear in which the temperature rise does not exceed the specified limits when the
controlgear is overloaded or open-circuited and which remains capable of functioning after the
open-circuit is removed
NOTE In open terminals condition, the controlgear can, e.g., shut down. In this case the worst working condition
for the controlgear is not the open circuit, but close to open circuit (load which causes overload condition is close
to infinity resistance). The same concept is introduced with the short circuit proof controlgear with the two
conditions: overload (load close to zero resistance) and short circuit.
I.2.8
non-inherently open circuit proof controlgear
open circuit proof controlgear which incorporates a protective device which opens the circuit
or reduces the current in the input circuit or the output circuit when the controlgear is
overloaded or open-circuited
