61195 © IEC:1999– 5 –INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION____________DOUBLE-CAPPED FLUORESCENT LAMPS –SAFETY SPECIFICATIONSFOREWORD1)The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprisingall national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promoteinternational co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. Tothis end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation isentrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with mayparticipate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaisingwith the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organizationfor Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the twoorganizations.2)The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, aninternational consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representationfrom all interested National Committees.3)The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the formof standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the NationalCommittees in that sense.4)
In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC InternationalStandards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Anydivergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearlyindicated in the latter.5)
The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for anyequipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.6)
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subjectof patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.International Standard IEC 61195 has been prepared by sub-committee 34A: Lamps, of IECtechnical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1993 and itsamendment 1 (1998). It constitutes a technical revision.The text of this standard is based on the following documents:FDISReport on voting34A/886/FDIS34A/900/RVDFull information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report onvoting indicated in the above table.This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.Annexes A, B and D form an integral part of this standard.Annexes C and E are for information only.The contents of the corrigendum of August 2000 have been included in this copy.

61195 © IEC:1999– 7 –The committee has decided that this publication remains valid until 2003-09.At this date, in accordance with the committee’s decision, the publication will be·reconfirmed;·withdrawn;·replaced by a revised edition, or·amended.

61195 © IEC:1999– 9 –DOUBLE-CAPPED FLUORESCENT LAMPS –SAFETY SPECIFICATIONS1 General1.1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies the safety requirements for double-capped fluorescentlamps for general lighting purposes of all groups having Fa6, Fa8, G5, G13, 2G13, R17d andW4.3´8.5d caps.It also specifies the method a manufacturer should use to show compliance with therequirements of this standard on the basis of whole production appraisal in association with histest records on finished products. This method can also be applied for certification purposes.Details of a batch test procedure which can be used to make limited assessment of batchesare also given in this standard.NOTE – Compliance with this standard concerns only safety criteria and does not take into account theperformance of double-capped fluorescent lamps for general lighting purposes with respect to luminous flux, colour,starting and operational characteristics. Readers are referred to IEC 60081 for such characteristics.1.2 Normative referencesThe following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text,constitute provisions of this International Standard. For dated references, subsequentamendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. However, parties toagreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibilityof applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undatedreferences, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of IECand ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.IEC 60061-1, Lamp caps and holders together with gauges for the control ofinterchangeability and safety – Part 1: Lamp capsIEC 60061-2, Lamp caps and holders together with gauges for the control of interchangeabilityand safety – Part 2: LampholdersIEC 60061-3, Lamp caps and holders together with gauges for the control ofinterchangeability and safety – Part 3: GaugesIEC 60081, Double-capped fluorescent lamps – Performance specificationsIEC 60410, Sampling plans and procedures for inspection by attributesIEC 60695-2-1/0, Fire hazard testing – Part 2: Test methods – Section 1/sheet 0: Glow-wiretest methods – GeneralIEC 60921, Ballasts for tubular fluorescent lamps – Performance requirements

61195 © IEC:1999– 13 –2 Safety requirements2.1 GeneralLamps shall be so designed and constructed that in normal use they present no danger to theuser or surroundings.In general, compliance is checked by carrying out all the tests specified.NOTE – Where testing can become unnecessarily difficult due to the lamp length, methods to alleviate the problemmay be agreed between the supplier and the certification authority.2.2 Marking2.2.1
The following information shall be legibly and durably marked on the lamps:a)mark of origin (this may take the form of a trade mark, the manufacturer's name or thename of the responsible vendor);b)the nominal wattage (marked "W" or "watts") or any other indication which identifies thelamp.NOTE – In some countries, the length of the lamp is marked in place of the wattage.2.2.2
Compliance is checked by the following:a)presence and legibility of the marking by visual inspection;b)durability of marking by applying the following test on unused lamps.The area of the marking on the lamp shall be rubbed by hand with a smooth cloth dampenedwith water for a period of 15 s.After this test, the marking shall still be legible.2.3 Mechanical requirements for caps2.3.1 Construction and assemblyCaps shall be so constructed and assembled to the bulbs that they remain attached during andafter operation.Compliance is checked by the following tests:2.3.1.1
For lamp types using caps G5, G13 and R17d:a)for unused lamps compliance is checked by applying a torque test to the pins, as follows:–the lamp cap shall remain firmly attached to the bulb and there shall be no rotationalmovement between component parts of the cap exceeding an angular displacementof 6° when subjected to the torque levels listed in table 1.

The test holder forthe R17d cap is under consideration;b)following a heating treatment for a period of 2 000 h ± 50 h at a temperature of 120 °C ± 5 °C,the cap shall remain firmly attached to the bulb and there shall be no rotational movementbetween component parts of the cap exceeding an angular displacement of 6° whensubjected to the torque levels specified in table 2.For G13 capped lamps with a nominal wattage greater than 40 W, the heating shall beperformed at a temperature of 140 °C ± 5 °C.Table 2 – Torque values after heating treatmentCap typeTorque valueNmG5G13R17d0,30,60,62.3.1.2
