by means of the circuits and arrangements described in Figures 5, 6 and 8 for the relevant
type of equipment.
Replace, in the second existing paragraph of this subclause, "20 %" by "0,05 m".
Add, after the second paragraph of this subclause, the following new paragraph:
In case there is a conflict between the distances indicated in Figure 5 to Figure 11 and the
cable length specified in this paragraph, then the cable length takes precedence.
8.2 Indoor and outdoor luminaires
Replace the first existing paragraph of this subclause by the following new paragraph:
The measuring circuit is given in Figure 6a and the measurement arrangements in Figure 8.
Replace the fifth existing paragraph of this subclause by the following new text:
One of the following three options for the arrangement of the luminaire can be used:
a) The luminaire shall be placed on an insulating table, such that the base of the luminaire
(the opposite side of the optical window) is on the insulating table at 0,4 m from a
horizontal reference ground plane and the light output (optical window) is directed
upwards. See Figure 8a;
b) As a) but rotated 90° around the main axis of the luminaire, the light output directed
horizontally away from the reference ground plane. See Figure 8b;
c) The luminaire shall be placed on an insulating table, such that the base of the luminaire is
on the insulating table at least 0,8 m from the floor. The longest side of the luminaire is

positioned in parallel with a vertical reference ground plane at a distance of 0,4 m. The
light output is directed upwards. See Figure 8c.
For all three arrangements in addition the following applies.
All conductive surfaces other than the reference ground plane shall be separated by at least
0,8 m from the EUT. The reference ground plane shall have dimensions of at least 2 m × 2 m.
The reference ground plane shall be bonded to the reference earth of the artificial V-network

Add, at the end of the existing Annex D, the following new annex:

Annex E
(normative)
Requirements and test arrangements for double-capped lamp adapters,

double-capped self-ballasted lamps, double-capped semi-luminaires and

double-capped retrofit lamps used in linear fluorescent lamp luminaires

E.1 Overview
This annex applies to the emission (radiated and conducted) of radiofrequency disturbances
from double-capped lamp adapters, double-capped self-ballasted lamps, double-capped semi-
luminaires and double-capped retrofit lamps used in luminaires with magnetic control gear for
linear fluorescent lamps. The existing magnetic lamp control gear is short-circuited if specified
by the manufacturer.
This Annex does not cover double-capped lamp adapters, double-capped self-ballasted
lamps, double-capped semi-luminaires and double-capped retrofit lamps for application in
luminaires with electronic control gear in operation. For such applications, the requirements
are to be verified using a host luminaire compliant with this standard.
E.2 Reference documents
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and
are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any
amendments) applies.
IEC 60081, Double-capped fluorescent lamps – Performance specifications
IEC 60155, Glow-starters for fluorescent lamps
IEC 61195, Double-capped fluorescent lamps – Safety specifications
E.3 Terms and definitions
The terms and definitions given in Clause 3 apply together with the following:

E.3.1
double-capped lamp adapter
component used to be installed into luminaires which are constructed for lamps of one tube
diameter (according IEC 60081 and IEC 61195) and to receive lamps of another tube
diameter or another tube length instead
Note 1 to entry: A lamp adaptor may incorporate a switch or a fuse or a electronic lamp control gear for HF lamp
operation.
E.3.2
double-capped self-ballasted lamp
unit which cannot be dismantled without being permanently damaged, provided with one or
more light sources and two lamp caps and any additional elements necessary for starting and
stable operation
© IEC 2015
E.3.3
double-capped semi-luminaire
unit similar to a self-ballasted lamp but designed to utilize a replaceable light source and/or

starting device
Note 1 to entry: Semi-luminaires for compact fluorescent lamps and for incandescent lamps, sometimes called
adaptors, are devices equipped, on the one side, with an Edison screw or an bayonet or similar cap to allow
mounting in a standard incandescent lampholder and, on the other side, with a lampholder to allow the insertion of

a replaceable light source.
Note 2 to entry: The light source component and/or starting device of a semi luminaire is readily replaceable.

Note 3 to entry: The ballast component is not replaceable and is not disposed of each time a light source is

replaced.
Note 4 to entry: A lampholder is required for a supply connection.
E.3.4
double-capped retrofit lamp
double-capped lamp which can be used as a replacement of another type of lamp without
requiring any modification in the luminaire and which, after installation, maintain the same
level of safety of the replaced lamp in the luminaire.
Note 1 to entry: The replacement of the glow starter according to IEC 60155 with other devices for the correct
functioning of the retrofit lamp is not considered as modification in the luminaire.
E.4 Limits
The limits are given in Clause 4.
E.5 Application of the limits and the measurement set-up
Double-capped lamp adapter, double-capped self-ballasted lamp, double-capped semi-
luminaire and double-capped retrofit lamp shall be measured with the test set-up described in
Figure E.1. The height of the lamp holders shall be such that the distance between the
exterior of the lamp and the metal plate is 9 mm ± 1 mm for lamps having a nominal tube
diameter lower or equal to 25 mm and 20 mm ± 1 mm for lamps having a nominal tube
diameter greater than 25 mm. The units under test (EUT) shall be measured as manufactured.
For double-capped lamp adapter and double-capped semi-luminaire suitable lamps having the
maximum power allowed for it shall be used.
The measurement set-up of Figure E.1 shall be used for both the measurement of the
disturbance voltages described in Clause 8 and for the measurement of the radiated
electromagnetic disturbances described in Clause 9.

If the EUT contains active switching electronic components it shall comply with the terminal
voltage limits given in Table 2a, else no requirements apply.
Where the operating frequency of the active switching electronic components exceeds
100 Hz, the EUT shall also comply with the radiated disturbance limits given in Tables 3a and
3b.
Tests in the frequency range 30 MHz to 300 MHz shall be conducted by the test specified in
Annex B with the limits of Table B.1.
