This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2011-06-23. CENELEC members are bound to comply
with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard
the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified
to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,
the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy,
Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Foreword
The text of document 34C/955/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 61347-2-3, prepared by SC 34C, Auxiliaries
for lamps, of IEC TC 34, Lamps and related equipment, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote
and was approved by CENELEC as EN 61347-2-3 on 2011-06-23.
This standard is to be used in conjunction with EN 61347-1:2008 + A1:2011.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60925:1991 + A1:1996 + A2:2001, EN 61347-2-3:2001 +

The significant revisions with respect to EN 61347-2-3:2001 are:
– rectifying test conditions when dimming;
– construction requirements;
– measurement circuits and limits for HF leakage currents;
– modification of the structure to become a standard exclusively for a.c. and d.c. central supplied
electronic control gear for general lighting and Annex J cover centrally supplied emergency control gear.
This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in EN 61347-1 so as to convert that
publication into the European Standard: Particular requirements for a.c. and/or d.c. supplied electronic
control gear for fluorescent lamps.
NOTE In this standard, the following print types are used:
– Requirements proper: in roman type.
– Test specifications: in italic type.
– Explanatory matter: in smaller roman type.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN and CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2012-03-23
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2014-06-23
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.
