61199 © IEC:1999– 5 –INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION____________SINGLE-CAPPED FLUORESCENT LAMPS –SAFETY SPECIFICATIONSFOREWORD1)The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprisingall national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promoteinternational co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. Tothis end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation isentrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with mayparticipate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaisingwith the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization forStandardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.2)The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, aninternational consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representationfrom all interested National Committees.3)The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the formof standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the NationalCommittees in that sense.4)
In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC InternationalStandards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Anydivergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearlyindicated in the latter.5)
The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for anyequipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.6)
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subjectof patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.International Standard IEC 61199 has been prepared by subcommittee 34A: Lamps, of IECtechnical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1993, amendment 1(1997), amendment 2 (1998) as well as consolidated edition 1.2 (1998). This second editionconstitutes a technical revision.The text of this standard is based on the following documents:FDISReport on voting34A/883/FDIS34A/897/RVDFull information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report onvoting indicated in the above table.This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.Annexes A, B, D, E, F and G form an integral part of this standard.Annexes C and H are for information only.The committee has decided that this publication remains valid until 2003-09At this date, in accordance with the committee’s decision, the publication will be•reconfirmed;•withdrawn;•replaced by a revised edition, or•amended.

61199 © IEC:1999– 7 –SINGLE-CAPPED FLUORESCENT LAMPS –SAFETY SPECIFICATIONS1 General1.1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies the safety requirements for single-capped fluorescentlamps for general lighting purposes of all groups having 2G7, 2GX7, GR8, 2G10, G10q,GR10q, GX10q, GY10q, 2G11, G23, GX23, G24, GX24 and GX32 caps.It also specifies the method a manufacturer should use to show compliance with therequirements of this standard on the basis of whole production appraisal in association with histest records on finished products. This method can also be applied for certification purposes.Details of a batch test procedure which can be used to make limited assessment of batchesare also given in this standard.NOTE – Compliance with this standard concerns only safety criteria and does not take into account theperformance of single-capped fluorescent lamps for general lighting purposes with respect to luminous flux, colour,starting and operational characteristics. For this information, readers are referred to IEC 60901.1.2 Normative referencesThe following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text,constitute provisions of this International Standard. For dated references, subsequentamendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. However, parties toagreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibilityof applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undatedreferences, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of IECand ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.IEC 60061-1 Lamp caps and holders together with gauges for the control of inter-changeability and safety – Part 1: Lamp capsIEC 60061-2, Lamp caps and holders together with gauges for the control of inter-changeability and safety – Part 2: LampholdersIEC 60061-3, Lamp caps and holders together with gauges for the control of inter-changeability and safety – Part 3: GaugesIEC 60410, Sampling plans and procedures for inspection by attributesIEC 60529:1989, Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code)IEC 60598-1, Luminaires – Part 1: General requirements and testsIEC 60695-2-1/0, Fire hazard testing – Part 2: Test methods – Section 1/sheet 0: Glow-wiretest methods – GeneralIEC 60901, Single-capped fluorescent lamps – Performance specifications

61199 © IEC:1999– 11 –2 Safety requirements2.1 GeneralLamps shall be so designed and constructed that in normal use they present no danger to theuser or the surroundings.In general, compliance is checked by carrying out all the tests specified.2.2 Marking2.2.1
The following information shall be legibly and durably marked on the lamps:a)mark of origin (this may take the form of a trade mark, the manufacturer's name or thename of the responsible vendor);b)the nominal wattage (marked "W" or "watts") or any other indication which identifiesthe lamp.2.2.2
Compliance is checked by the following:a) presence and legibility of the marking by visual inspection;b) durability of marking by applying the following test on unused lamps.The area of the marking on the lamp shall be rubbed by hand with a smooth cloth damped withwater for a period of 15 s.After this test, the marking shall still be legible.2.3 Mechanical requirements for caps2.3.1 Construction and assemblyCaps shall be so constructed and assembled to the tube(s) that the whole assembly remainsintact and attached during and after operation.Compliance is checked by carrying out the tests given in annex A.At the end of the tests, the caps shall show no damage that impairs safety.2.3.2 Dimensional requirements for caps2.3.2.1
Lamps shall use standardized caps in accordance with the dimensional requirementsof IEC 60061-1.2.3.2.2
Compliance is checked by using the gauges shown in table 1.

61199 © IEC:1999– 13 –2.3.3 Pin connections and keying configurations2.3.3.1 Pin connectionsThe connection of lamp cathodes to the pins of caps having four pins shall conform to therequirements shown in annex E for the relevant cap.Compliance is checked by electrical continuity tests between relevant pins and/or by visualinspection.2.3.3.2 Key configurationFor those cap types incorporating keys which ensure non-interchangeability with similar lamptypes, the caps shall conform to the cap/key version given in the relevant lamp data sheetof IEC 60901. Annex F gives guidance to which cap/key shall be used when designing lamps tooperate on a certain ballast.Compliance is checked by a suitable measuring system and/or visual inspection.2.4
