1.4 Definitions
For the purpose of this International Standard, the definitions of IEC 60050(845) and the
following definitions apply.
1.4.1
fluorescent lamp
discharge lamp of the low pressure mercury type, in which most of the light is emitted by one
or several layers of phosphors excited by the ultra-violet radiation from the discharge [IEV
845-07-26, modified]
1.4.2
double-capped fluorescent lamp
fluorescent lamp having two separate caps and mostly of tubular form and linear shape
1.4.3
nominal value
approximate quantity value used to designate or identify a lamp
1.4.4
rated value
quantity value for a characteristic of a lamp for specified operating conditions. The value and
the conditions are specified in this standard, or assigned by the manufacturer or responsible
vendor
1.4.5
lumen maintenance
ratio of the luminous flux of a lamp at a given time in its life to its initial luminous flux, the
lamp being operated under specified conditions. This ratio is generally expressed as a
percentage
60081 Amend. 5  IEC:2013 – I-8 –

1.5.2 Caps
The dimensions of the caps on a finished lamp shall be in accordance with IEC 60061-1.
For lamps with G5 or G13 caps, both pins (excluding flanges) of the two caps of a finished
lamp shall pass simultaneously, freely without binding, through parallel slots, suitably spaced
longitudinally to receive the lamp. The slots shall each be 2,87 mm wide for G5 caps, and
3,05 mm wide for G13 caps.
For lamps with R17d caps, both cap bosses of a finished lamp shall pass simultaneously,
freely without binding, through parallel slots, suitably spaced longitudinally to receive the lamp
with the bottom of the slots against the boss ends. The slots shall each be 6,35 mm deep and
9,22 mm wide.
1.5.3 Dimensions
The dimensions of a lamp shall comply with the values specified on the relevant lamp data
sheet.
1.5.4 Starting characteristics
A lamp shall start fully within the time specified on the relevant lamp data sheet and remain
alight.
Conditions and method of test are given in Annex A.
1.5.5 Electrical and cathode characteristics
Lamps shall comply with the following requirements:
a) The initial reading of the voltage at the lamp terminals shall comply with the values
specified on the relevant lamp data sheet.
NOTE 1 It may be expected that over the declared lifetime of the lamp, the lamp voltage may rise typically by
5 V to 10 V.
b) The initial reading of the power dissipated by a lamp shall not exceed the rated wattage,
specified on the relevant lamp data sheet, by more than 5 % + 0,5 W.
NOTE 2 Cathode watts due to supplementary heating are not included in the rated lamp wattage unless
otherwise stated on the lamp data sheet.
c) The combined resistance of the lead wires connected to an individual cathode for a lamp
without internal starter shall not be higher than 0,3 Ω.
d) For a lamp having preheated cathodes for operation on a.c. mains frequencies starterless
circuits, the initial reading of the resistance of each cathode shall be not less than the
minimum value specified on the relevant lamp data sheet. These resistance values include
lead wire resistance.
e) For a lamp having preheated cathodes for operation on high frequency, the initial reading
of the resistance of each cathode shall comply with the values specified on the relevant
lamp data sheet. These resistance values include lead wire resistance.
In addition, the average value of the resistance ratio Rh/Rc of the coils of 10 cathodes
shall be in the range 4,75 ± 0,5. Rh is the resistance of the cathode when heated with the
specified test current. Rc is the resistance of the cathode at a temperature of 25 °C ± 1
°C. Both resistance values shall exclude lead wire resistance.
Conditions and method of test are given in Annex B.

1.5.6 Photometric characteristics
Lamps shall comply with the following requirements:
a) The initial reading of the luminous flux of a lamp shall be not less than 92 % of the rated
value.
b) The initial reading of the chromaticity coordinates x and y of a lamp shall be within
5 SDCM (standard deviation of colour matching) from the rated values.
NOTE See also Annex D on chromaticity co-ordinates.
c) The initial reading of the general colour rendering index Ra of a lamp shall be not
