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.
International Standard IEC 62386-224 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 34:
Lamps and related equipment.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
CDV Report on voting
34/404/CDV 34/480/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

– 4 – IEC 62386-224:2018 © IEC 2018
This Part 224 of IEC 62386 is intended to be used in conjunction with:
• Part 101, which contains general requirements for system components;
• Part 102, which contains general requirements for control gear.
A list of all parts in the IEC 62386 series, published under the general title Digital addressable
lighting interface, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
IMPORTANT – The 'colour inside' logo on the cover page of this publication indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct
understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a
colour printer.
INTRODUCTION
IEC 62386 contains several parts, referred to as series. The 1xx series includes the basic
specifications. Part 101 contains general requirements for system components, Part 102
extends this information with general requirements for control gear and Part 103 extends it
further with general requirements for control devices.
The 2xx parts extend the general requirements for control gear with lamp specific extensions
(mainly for backward compatibility with Edition 1 of IEC 62386) and with control gear specific
features.
The 3xx parts extend the general requirements for control devices with input device specific
extensions describing the instance types as well as some common features that can be
combined with multiple instance types.
This first edition of IEC 62386-224 is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC 62386-
101:2014, IEC 62386-101:2014/AMD1:—, IEC 62386-102:2014 and
IEC 62386-102:2014/AMD1:—. The division into separately published parts provides for ease
of future amendments and revisions. Additional requirements will be added as and when a
need for them is recognized.
The setup of the standards is graphically represented in Figure 1 below.

This document, and the other parts that make up the IEC 62386-200 series, in referring to any
of the clauses of IEC 62386-1XX, specifies the extent to which such a clause is applicable;
the parts also include additional requirements, as necessary.
Where the requirements of any of the clauses of IEC 62386-1XX are referred to in this
document by the sentence “The requirements of IEC 62386-1XX, Clause “n” apply”, this
sentence is to be interpreted as meaning that all requirements of the clause in question of
Part 1XX apply, except any which are clearly inapplicable.
The standardization of the control interface for control gear is intended to achieve compatible
co-existence between electronic control gear and lighting control devices, below the level of
building management systems. This document describes a method of implementing control
gear.

4 General
4.1 General
The requirements of IEC 62386-102:2014 and IEC 62386-102:2014/AMD1:—, Clause 4 apply,
with the restrictions, changes and additions identified below.
4.2 Version number
In 4.2 of IEC 62386-102:2014 and IEC 62386-102:2014/AMD1:—, “102” shall be replaced by
“224”, “version number” shall be replaced by “extended version number” and “versionNumber”
shall be replaced by “extendedVersionNumber”.
5 Electrical specification
The requirements of IEC 62386-102:2014 and IEC 62386-102:2014/AMD1:—, Clause 5 apply.
6 Interface power supply
The requirements of IEC 62386-102:2014 and IEC 62386-102:2014/AMD1:—, Clause 6 apply.
7 Transmission protocol structure
The requirements of IEC 62386-102:2014 and IEC 62386-102:2014/AMD1:—, Clause 7 apply.
8 Timing
The requirements of IEC 62386-102:2014 and IEC 62386-102:2014/AMD1:—, Clause 8 apply.
9 Method of operation
9.1 General
The requirements of IEC 62386-102:2014 and IEC 62386-102:2014/AMD1:—, Clause 9, apply
with the following additions.
9.2 Lamp failure
If a lamp failure occurs,
• a total control gear failure may occur, or
• “lampFailure” shall be set to TRUE.
If “lampFailure” is TRUE, the control gear does not need to check whether the lamp situation
has improved.
Since a light source according to this document is generally designed to form a non-
replaceable part of a control gear, it is typically not possible to apply a lamp failure without
breaking the control gear.
For testing purposes, the test procedures shall not generate an error related to the lamp
replacement detection after removal of a lamp failure. Additionally, it shall be verified that this
type of control gear contains a non-replaceable light source.

If it is not possible to apply an open circuit (lamp disconnect) and/or introduce a short circuit
(depending on the light source type), a destructive test shall replace the lamp error related
test procedures to verify that the driver is able to detect the lamp failure correctly.
NOTE 1 Depending on the light source type applied to the control gear, the manufacturer might choose to omit
detection of short circuit (e.g. if the failure mode of a LED or OLED is known to be “open”).
NOTE 2 This might include skipping certain test steps in the test procedures and/or rearranging the order of test
execution.
