Overview

IEC 63013:2017/AMD1:2021 is an important international amendment published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It focuses on LED packages and outlines updated procedures for the long-term projection of luminous and radiant flux maintenance. This amendment is critical for manufacturers, testing laboratories, and quality assurance teams engaged in the production and verification of LED lighting products. It harmonizes test methods and provides the frameworks necessary to predict the performance and longevity of LED light sources under operational conditions.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Application:
    Applicable to LED packages used in general lighting and horticultural lighting, this standard specifies the test conditions and procedures to measure and project luminous flux maintenance over time. It also recognizes alternative flux data types such as radiant flux and photon flux.

  • Test Methods and Data Collection:
    Data for luminous flux maintenance must be collected according to ANSI/IES LM-80-20, a widely recognized method for measuring the performance of LED packages, arrays, and modules.

  • Projection Techniques:
    The long-term flux maintenance projection is primarily based on the exponential fit function (EFF) method detailed in ANSI/IES TM-21-19. This involves fitting test data to an exponential decay curve and projecting future performance. An alternative method is provided within the amendment for cases when exponential fitting is not applicable.

  • Temperature Interpolation:
    Temperature effects on LED performance are accounted for using the Arrhenius equation as described in ANSI/IES TM-21-19, helping to interpolate flux maintenance data across different temperature conditions.

  • Reporting Requirements:
    The amendment defines comprehensive reporting formats and data to ensure transparency and consistency. Only adjusted luminous flux maintenance values-corrected as per defined procedures-should be reported.

Applications

  • Quality Assurance in LED Manufacturing:
    Manufacturers can apply this standard to validate the long-term reliability of their LED products, ensuring performance claims about luminous flux maintenance are both accurate and reproducible.

  • Product Development and Testing:
    Testing labs use the standardized LM-80 and TM-21 procedures to predict lumen depreciation, supporting product development cycles that require lifespan and durability estimations.

  • Horticultural Lighting:
    Given its extension to horticultural lighting, this amendment helps optimize LED lighting solutions for plant growth by projecting how light output will maintain over extended periods under specific environmental conditions.

  • Regulatory Compliance:
    Compliance with IEC 63013:2017/AMD1:2021 supports conformity with global LED lighting regulations and facilitates market access by adhering to international performance testing standards.

Related Standards

  • ANSI/IES LM-80-20:
    Approved method for measuring luminous flux and color maintenance for LED packages, arrays, and modules. It is the foundational testing framework referenced by IEC 63013:2017/AMD1:2021 for data acquisition.

  • ANSI/IES TM-21-19:
    Technical memorandum outlining procedures for projecting long-term lumen, photon, and radiant flux maintenance based on LM-80-20 data. IEC 63013 applies and extends the exponential fit projection methods from this standard.

  • IEC 63013:2017 (base standard):
    The original version of this international standard on LED luminous flux maintenance projection, which Amendment 1 updates and enhances.

By integrating these standards, IEC 63013:2017/AMD1:2021 provides a robust framework for assessing and projecting LED package performance over time, ensuring product reliability and facilitating informed decision-making in lighting design and application.

AMENDMENT 1
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 document may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

1 Scope
Replace the existing paragraphs with the following new paragraphs:
This document is applicable to LED packages for general lighting services and LED packages
for horticultural lighting.
It specifies procedures and conditions for measuring the luminous flux maintenance of LED
packages. It also provides the procedures and conditions (criteria) of projecting the long-term
luminous flux maintenance based on limited luminous flux maintenance test data collected.
Within the context of this document, wherever luminous flux measurement data is specified,
radiant flux measurement data and photon flux measurement data can also be used.
These projection methods employ data collected as per ANSI/IES LM-80-20 (LM-80).
The long-term projection is based on the exponential-fit-function procedure of
ANSI/IES TM-21-19 (TM-21) and gives an alternative border function procedure in the case
where the exponential-fit-function of ANSI/IES TM-21-19 is not applicable.

2 Normative references
Replace the existing second, third and fourth references with the following two new references:
ANSI/IES TM-21-19 , Technical Memorandum: Projecting Long Term Lumen, Photon, and
Radiant Flux Maintenance of LED Light Sources
ANSI/IES LM-80-20, Approved Method: Measuring Luminous Flux and Color Maintenance of
LED Packages, Arrays, and Modules

___________
A revision of ANSI/IES TM-21-19, and a new ANSI approved IES calculation tool are under preparation by the
Illuminating Engineering Society. Publication of ANSI/IES TM-21-21 and the ANSI/IES TM-21-21 Calculator are
expected prior to 2021-12-31.
