Overview
EN IEC 63146:2019 (CLC) defines the required content and presentation for specification sheets of LED packages for general lighting. It establishes what product information manufacturers should provide for white-light LED packages used in general lighting applications. This European adoption of IEC 63146:2019 aligns with ANSI C78.374-2015 where noted and does not include compliance criteria; it focuses on consistent and transparent reporting of performance, operational and handling data.
Key Topics
Scope and purpose: Clarifies that the document specifies requirements for the specification sheet of LED packages designed to emit white light for general lighting.
General product information: Requires a clear title and consistent graphic presentation on the specification sheet, referencing ANSI C78.374-2015 for format guidance.
Performance characteristics: Details the photometric and colour data expected on a specification sheet, including:
- Correlated colour temperature (CCT) versus luminous flux
- Colour binning and chromaticity values for specified CCTs
- Spectral power distribution and luminous intensity distribution
- Luminous flux vs. forward current and vs. temperature
- Luminous efficacy vs. forward current and typical flux/voltage values
- Colour-over-angle information (or links/URLs to where it can be obtained)
Operational characteristics: Identification of operating limits (including maximum pulse and reverse voltages where applicable), minimum forward current, and combinations of operating values that could lead to misuse.
Thermal and electrical properties: Requirements for reporting thermal resistance (junction-to-case or junction-to-solder-point) and clear indication whether thermal resistance is based on dissipated or input power. ESD-HBM withstand class or minimum voltage should also be stated.
Physical and connection data: Mechanical characteristics, electrical diagrams and forward-voltage binning presented in table formats are required.
Product handling: Guidance on assembly, packing information and moisture/reflow sensitivity classification. The standard recommends IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020E for classification or disclosure of alternative methods.
Measurement reporting: Photometric and chromaticity reporting follows ANSI C78.374-2015, and JESD 51-51-2012 is recommended for thermal characteristic measurement methods.
Applications
- Creating or reviewing product specification sheets for LED manufacturers and lighting component suppliers
- Ensuring consistent photometric and thermal data for lighting designers, specifiers and procurement teams
- Facilitating transparent communication between LED package makers, luminaire manufacturers and test labs
Related Standards
- ANSI C78.374-2015 - referenced normative guidance for specification sheet content
- JESD 51-51-2012 - recommended for thermal resistance and junction temperature measurement
- IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020E - recommended for moisture/reflow sensitivity classification
This standard helps standardize key LED package information-CCT, luminous flux, binning, thermal resistance and handling-so stakeholders can compare products and document performance consistently.
