La présente édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente, avec des ajouts concernant: a) les culots et la prévention de la mauvaise utilisation des culots; b) l'interchangeabilité; c) l'endurance mécanique et électrique; d) les lignes de fuite et distances d'isolement; e) les précautions sur la fin de la durée de vie des lampes; f) le fonctionnement anormal; g) les conditions d'essai pour les lampes à variation d'intensité et à trois intensités; h) le marquage relatif au contact avec l'eau; i) la vérification et évaluation; j) les informations pour la conception du luminaire sous forme d'annexes.
Sijalke za splošno razsvetljavo z vgrajeno predstikalno napravo - Varnostne zahteve (IEC 60968:2015, spremenjen+ COR1:2015, spremenjen)
Ta mednarodni standard določa zahteve za varnost in zamenljivost vključno s preskusnimi metodami in pogoji, ki so potrebni za preverjanje skladnosti cevnih fluorescentnih sijalk z vključenimi sredstvi za nadzorovan vklop in stabilno delovanje (fluorescentne sijalke z vgrajeno predstikalno napravo).
Te sijalke so namenjene za domačo in podobno splošno razsvetljavo ter imajo nazivno napetost 50 V do 250 V, nazivno frekvenco 50 Hz ali 60 Hz in vznožke, skladne s standardom IEC 60061-1.
Za sistem vznožkov/okovov, ki ni izrecno naveden v tem standardu, se uporabljajo ustrezne informacije o preskusih v zvezi z varnostjo, ki jih zagotovi proizvajalec. Zahteve iz tega standarda se nanašajo samo na tipsko preskušanje. Priporočila za preskušanje celotnega izdelka ali serije so podana v dodatku A. Ta del standarda obravnava fotobiološko varnost glede na standarda IEC 62471 in IEC/TR 62471-2. Nevarnost zaradi modre ali infrardeče svetlobe je pod nivojem, ki zahteva označevanje.
