Assessment of lighting equipment related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields

IEC 62493:2015 applies to the assessment of lighting equipment related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields. The assessment consists of the induced internal electric field for frequencies from 20 kHz to 10 MHz and the specific absorption rate (SAR) for frequencies from 100 kHz to 300 MHz around lighting equipment. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) identification of lighting product types deemed to comply with the standard without the need for test; b) deletion of the need for CISPR-15-compliance as a prerequisite for IEC 62493 compliance; c) inclusion of the consequences of the ICNIPR 2010 guidelines for (up to 100 kHz); d) adding some guidance to the Van der Hoofden test head method to improve reproducibility of results; e) inclusion of compliance demonstration method for products having intentional radiators.

Beurteilung von Beleuchtungseinrichtungen bezüglich der Exposition von Personen gegenüber elektromagnetischen Feldern

Évaluation d’un équipement d’éclairage relativement à l'exposition humaine aux champs électromagnétiques

L'IEC 62439:2015 traite de l'évaluation d'un équipement d'éclairage relativement à l'exposition humaine aux champs électromagnétiques. L'évaluation comprend le champ électrique interne induit pour les fréquences comprises entre 20 kHz et 10 MHz et le débit d'absorption spécifique (DAS) pour les fréquences comprises entre 100 kHz et 300 MHz autour de l'équipement d'éclairage. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition, parue en 2009. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. La présente édition inclut les modifications techniques significatives suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) identification des types de produits d'éclairage considérés comme satisfaisant à la norme sans qu'il soit nécessaire de procéder à des essais; b) suppression de la condition préalable consistant à se conformer à la norme CISPR 15 pour satisfaire aux exigences de l'IEC 62493; c) inclusion des conséquences des lignes directrices de l'ICNIPR 2010 (jusqu'à 100 kHz); d) ajout de recommandations pour la "méthode de la tête d'essai de Van der Hoofden" afin d'améliorer la reproductibilité des résultats; e) inclusion de la méthode de démonstration de conformité des produits dotés d'éléments rayonnants intentionnels.

Ocenjevanje opreme za razsvetljavo z vidika izpostavljenosti ljudi elektromagnetnim poljem

Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za ocenjevanje opreme za razsvetljavo z vidika izpostavljenosti ljudi elektromagnetnim poljem. Ocenjevanje zajema inducirano notranje električno polje za frekvence od 20 kHz do 10 MHz in specifično hitrost absorpcije (SAR) za frekvence od 100 kHz do 300 MHz okrog opreme za razsvetljavo.
Področje uporabe tega standarda zajema:
– vso opremo za razsvetljavo s primarno funkcijo proizvodnje in/ali porazdelitve svetlobe, namenjeno razsvetljavi in predvideno za povezavo na električni vir nizke napetosti ali za baterijsko napajanje, ki se uporablja znotraj in/ali zunaj;
– svetlobni del večnamenske opreme, kjer je ena od primarnih funkcij razsvetljava;
– neodvisne pomožne naprave, ki so namenjene samo za uporabo s svetlobno opremo;
– opremo za razsvetljavo, vključno z namenskimi radiatorji za brezžično komunikacijo ali krmiljenje.
Ta standard ne zajema:
– opreme za razsvetljavo za letala in letališča;
– opreme za razsvetljavo za cestna vozila (razen razsvetljave, namenjene osvetljevanju potniških oddelkov v javnem prevozu);
– opreme za razsvetljavo za kmetijstvo;
– opreme za razsvetljavo za čolne/plovila;
– fotokopirnih strojev, diaprojektorjev;
– aparatov, za katere so zahteve glede elektromagnetnih polj izrecno navedene v drugih standardih IEC.
OPOMBA: Metode iz tega standarda niso primerne za primerjavo polj, ki jih proizvaja drugačna oprema za razsvetljavo. Ta standard se ne uporablja za vgrajene komponente za svetilke, kot je elektronsko krmilje.
