Overview
EN 62560:2012/A11:2019 is a CENELEC amendment to the European safety standard for self‑ballasted LED‑lamps for general lighting services operating at voltages greater than 50 V. Prepared by CLC/TC 34 and approved in 2019, this amendment (A11) updates EN 62560:2012 with additional safety requirements, normative references and an informative annex that maps the standard to the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU. The standard provides a harmonised way to demonstrate conformity for CE marking within its scope (when cited in the Official Journal).
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Safety specifications for self‑ballasted LED lamps (voltage > 50 V). Note: radio equipment may be included in the lamp.
- Relationship to EU law: Annex ZZA links the standard to the LVD (2014/35/EU) and lists which clauses support the Directive’s essential safety objectives; electromagnetic fields (EMF) are not covered by this standard.
- New/modified clauses (prefix “Z”): additions to Clause 7 (protection against accidental contact) and new subclauses on conductor fixation and related tests.
- Fixing of conductors (7.Z2):
- Requirement: Conductors must be fixed such that, if a conductor becomes loose, it cannot reduce clearances or creepage distances below specified values.
- Assumptions: Two independent fixings will not fail simultaneously; properly locked screw/nut fixings are considered secure.
- Compliance: Checked by inspection, measurement or by applying a 10 N force in the most unfavourable direction. Examples of acceptable constructions are given (heat‑shrink tubing, soldered and hooked conductors, secured screw terminals, ring lugs, short rigid conductors).
- Fire and thermal safety: normative references include glow‑wire and flammability test standards (IEC 60695 series).
- Normative references: includes IEC/EN standards relevant to lamp caps, temperature rise (IEC 60360), luminaires (IEC 60598), LED modules (IEC 62031), lamp controlgear (IEC 61347‑1), and photobiological safety (IEC 62471).
Applications and who uses it
- Product designers and manufacturers of self‑ballasted LED lamps ensuring safe mechanical and electrical construction.
- Compliance and testing laboratories performing safety verification and CE marking assessments under the LVD.
- Regulatory authorities, procurement teams and safety assessors verifying conformity for market access in the EU/EFTA.
- Integrators and luminaire manufacturers when specifying or accepting lamps for use in fixtures.

The standard EN 62560:2012/A11:2019 focuses on self-ballasted LED lamps intended for general lighting services operating at voltages greater than 50 V. This standard has been developed to ensure safety specifications that are essential for manufacturers and users in the lighting industry. One of the key strengths of this standard is its comprehensive coverage of safety requirements, which reflect the latest technological advancements and safety practices in the lighting sector. The incorporation of feedback from Technical Committee 34 (TC 34) allows for a well-rounded and stakeholder-inclusive approach to standardization. Moreover, the positive assessment from the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) as of March 28, 2018, underscores the standard's commitment to ensuring that LED lamps meet critical safety and performance criteria. Furthermore, the absence of any relation to the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) emphasizes the standard's specific focus on electrical safety rather than electromagnetic compatibility, making it particularly relevant for manufacturers who specialize in LED lighting without the concerns associated with radio frequency emissions. The publication of SIST EN 62560:2013/A11:2019 marks a significant advance in the field of electrical safety standards, ensuring that self-ballasted LED lamps are not only efficient but also safe for consumer use. The content of this standard is crucial for compliance, quality assurance, and consumer confidence in LED lighting products across various applications. In summary, EN 62560:2012/A11:2019 represents a vital resource for manufacturers aiming to meet safety requirements and for regulators ensuring public safety in electrical lighting services. Its systematic approach to safety and clear focus on self-ballasted technology makes it relevant and indispensable within the modern lighting industry.
EN 62560:2012/A11:2019標準は、50Vを超える電圧で一般照明サービスに使用される自己バラスト型LEDランプの安全仕様に関する文書です。この標準は、特に家庭や商業施設での照明器具として使用されるLEDランプの安全性を確保するために重要な役割を果たします。 この標準の強みの一つは、LVD（Low Voltage Directive）に基づく評価が行われ、2018年3月28日にポジティブな結果が得られたことです。このことは、標準が業界の安全基準を満たしていることを示しており、製品の信頼性を高めています。また、熱管理や電気的安全性、機械的強度に関する厳しい要件が含まれており、利用者の安全を最優先に考慮しています。 さらに、EN 62560標準は、RED（Radio Equipment Directive）とは関連していないため、照明用途の特性に特化した安全基準としての明確な役割を持っています。このことから、研究開発者、製造業者、さらには一般消費者にとっても、その有用性と関連性が高いことが分かります。 2021年には、CLCのレガシーがDCLab NISOSTSによって変換され、文書名はSIST EN 62560:2013/A11:2019となっており、最新の技術革新を反映した仕様となっています。これにより、業界全体での標準化と品質向上が期待されます。 このように、EN 62560:2012/A11:2019標準は、自己バラスト型LEDランプの安全性を強化し、業界全体の信頼性を向上させるために不可欠な文書であると言えます。
