FOR LED MODULES –
PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

This consolidated version of IEC 62384 consists of the first edition (2006) [documents
34/752/FDIS and 34/760/RVD] and its amendment 1 (2009) [documents 34C/869/CDV and
34C/889/RVC]. It bears the edition number 1.1.
The technical content is therefore identical to the base edition and its amendment and
has been prepared for user convenience. A vertical line in the margin shows where the
base publication has been modified by amendment 1. Additions and deletions are
displayed in red, with deletions being struck through.

DC OR AC SUPPLIED ELECTRONIC CONTROL GEAR

FOR LED MODULES –
PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
1 Scope
This international standard specifies performance requirements for electronic control gear for

use on d.c. supplies up to 250 V and a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz with an
output frequency which can deviate from the supply frequency, associated with LED modules
according to IEC 62031. Control gear for LED modules specified in this standard are designed
to provide constant voltage or current. Deviations from the pure voltage and current types do
not exclude the gear from this standard.
NOTE 1 The tests in this standard are type tests. Requirements for testing individual control gear during
production are not included.
NOTE 2 Requirements for control gear which incorporate means for varying the output power are under
consideration.
NOTE 3 It may be expected that control gear complying with this standard will ensure satisfactory operation
between 92 % and 106 % of the rated supply voltage, taking into account the specifications of the LED module
manufacturer.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition
of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
IEC 61347-2-13, Lamp controlgear – Part 2-13: Particular requirements for d.c. or a.c.
supplied electronic control gear for LED modules
IEC 62031, LED modules for general lighting – Safety requirements
3 Terms and definitions

4 General notes on tests
4.1 The tests according to this standard are type tests.

NOTE The requirements and tolerances permitted by this standard are based on testing of a type test sample
submitted by the manufacturer for that purpose. In principle this type test sample should consist of units having

characteristics typical of the manufacturer’s production and be as close to the production centre point values as

possible.
It may be expected with the tolerances given in the standard that products manufactured in accordance with the

type test sample will comply with the standard for the majority of the production. Due to the production spread
however, it is inevitable that there will sometimes be products outside the specified tolerances. For guidance of

sampling plans and procedures for inspection by attributes, see IEC 60410.

4.2 For tests which are carried out with a LED module or LED modules, this (these) LED
module(s) shall fulfil the following requirements:

4.3 The tests shall be carried out in the order of the clauses, unless otherwise specified.
4.4 One specimen shall be submitted to all the tests.
4.5 In general all the tests are made on each type of control gear or, where a range of
similar control gear is involved for each rated wattage in the range or on a representative
selection from the range as agreed with the manufacturer.
4.6 The tests shall be made under the conditions specified in Clause A.1. Since up to now
data of LED modules are not published in an IEC standard, they shall be made available by
the LED module manufacturer.
4.7 All control gear covered by this standard shall comply with the requirements of
IEC 61347-2-13.

absolute value (modulus) but its variation as well.

Let R’ and R’’ represent the values of the resistors shown in Figure A.2 by the values of 5 Ω

and 200 kΩ respectively (the latter at least not being critical). When by adjustments of R and

C a balance is obtained for a given audio-frequency selected on the wave analyser (or any

Annex B
(informative)
A guide to quoting product life and failure rate

To allow the lifetime and failure rate of different electronic products to be meaningfully

compared by a user it is recommended that the following data be provided by the

manufacturer in a product catalogue:

a) the maximum surface temperature, symbol t (t-lifetime) of the electronic product or the
l
maximum part temperature which affects product life, measured under normal operating
conditions and at the nominal voltage or at the maximum of the rated voltage range, that
allows a life of 50 000 h to be achieved.
NOTE In some countries, such as Japan, a life of 40 000 h should be applied.
b) the failure rate, if the electronic product is operated continuously at the maximum
temperature t (defined in a)). Failure rate should be quoted in units of failure in time (fit).
l
For the method used to obtain the information given in a) and b) above (mathematical
analysis, reliability test etc.), the manufacturer should, on request, provide a comprehensive
data file containing the details of the method.

AVANT-PROPOS
1) La Commission Electrotechnique Internationale (CEI) est une organisation mondiale de normalisation
composée de l'ensemble des comités électrotechniques nationaux (Comités nationaux de la CEI). La CEI a
pour objet de favoriser la coopération internationale pour toutes les questions de normalisation dans les
domaines de l'électricité et de l'électronique. A cet effet, la CEI – entre autres activités – publie des Normes
internationales, des Spécifications techniques, des Rapports techniques, des Spécifications accessibles au
public (PAS) et des Guides (ci-après dénommés "Publication(s) de la CEI"). Leur élaboration est confiée à des
comités d'études, aux travaux desquels tout Comité national intéressé par le sujet traité peut participer. Les
organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec la CEI, participent
également aux travaux. La CEI collabore étroitement avec l'Organisation Internationale de Normalisation (ISO),
selon des conditions fixées par accord entre les deux organisations.
2) Les décisions ou accords officiels de la CEI concernant les questions techniques représentent, dans la mesure
du possible, un accord international sur les sujets étudiés, étant donné que les Comités nationaux de la CEI
intéressés sont représentés dans chaque comité d’études.
3) Les Publications de la CEI se présentent sous la forme de recommandations internationales et sont agréées
comme telles par les Comités nationaux de la CEI. Tous les efforts raisonnables sont entrepris afin que la CEI
s'assure de l'exactitude du contenu technique de ses publications; la CEI ne peut pas être tenue responsable
de l'éventuelle mauvaise utilisation ou interprétation qui en est faite par un quelconque utilisateur final.
4) Dans le but d'encourager l'uniformité internationale, les Comités nationaux de la CEI s'engagent, dans toute la
mesure possible, à appliquer de façon transparente les Publications de la CEI dans leurs publications
nationales et régionales. Toutes divergences entre toutes Publications de la CEI et toutes publications
nationales ou régionales correspondantes doivent être indiquées en termes clairs dans ces dernières.
5) La CEI elle-même ne fournit aucune attestation de conformité. Des organismes de certification indépendants
fournissent des services d'évaluation de conformité et, dans certains secteurs, accèdent aux marques de
conformité de la CEI. La CEI n'est responsable d'aucun des services effectués par les organismes de
certification indépendants.
6) Tous les utilisateurs doivent s'assurer qu'ils sont en possession de la dernière édition de cette publication.
7) Aucune responsabilité ne doit être imputée à la CEI, à ses administrateurs, employés, auxiliaires ou
mandataires, y compris ses experts particuliers et les membres de ses comités d'études et des Comités
nationaux de la CEI, pour tout préjudice causé en cas de dommages corporels et matériels, ou de tout autre
dommage de quelque nature que ce soit, directe ou indirecte, ou pour supporter les coûts (y compris les frais
de justice) et les dépenses découlant de la publication ou de l'utilisation de cette Publication de la CEI ou de
toute autre Publication de la CEI, ou au crédit qui lui est accordé.
8) L'attention est attirée sur les références normatives citées dans cette publication. L'utilisation de publications
référencées est obligatoire pour une application correcte de la présente publication.
9) L’attention est attirée sur le fait que certains des éléments de la présente Publication de la CEI peuvent faire

l’objet de droits de brevet. La CEI ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne pas avoir identifié de tels droits
de brevets et de ne pas avoir signalé leur existence.

Cette version consolidée de la CEI 62384 comprend la première édition (2006)
[documents 34C/752/FDIS et 34C/760/RVD] et son amendement 1 (2009) [documents
34C/869/CDV et 34C/889/RVC]. Elle porte le numéro d'édition 1.1.
Le contenu technique de cette version consolidée est donc identique à celui de l'édition
de base et à son amendement; cette version a été préparée par commodité pour
l'utilisateur. Une ligne verticale dans la marge indique où la publication de base a été
modifiée par l'amendement 1. Les ajouts et les suppressions apparaissent en rouge, les
suppressions sont barrées.
