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, 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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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.

SAFETY SPECIFICATIONS
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 62035 has been prepared by subcommittee 34A: Lamps, of IEC
technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This consolidated version of IEC 62035 consists of the first edition (1999) [documents
34A/885/FDIS and 34A/899/RVD], its amendment 1 (2003) [documents 34A/1032/FDIS and
34A/1037/RVD] and its amendment 2 (2012) [documents 34A/1575/FDIS and 34A/1599/RVD].
The technical content is therefore identical to the base edition and its amendments and has
been prepared for user convenience.
It bears the edition number 1.2.
A vertical line in the margin shows where the base publication has been modified by
amendments 1 and 2.

Annexes A, B, C, D, E, G and H form an integral part of this standard.
Annex F is for information only.
The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendments will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

DISCHARGE LAMPS
(EXCLUDING FLUORESCENT LAMPS) –
SAFETY SPECIFICATIONS
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the safety requirements for discharge lamps (excluding
fluorescent lamps) for general lighting purposes.
This International Standard is applicable to low-pressure sodium vapour lamps and to high-
intensity discharge (HID) lamps, i.e. high-pressure mercury vapour lamps (including blended
lamps), high-pressure sodium vapour lamps and metal halide lamps. It applies to single- and
double-capped lamps, having caps as listed in annex A.

NOTE This standard only concerns safety criteria and does not take into account performance. The performance
standards IEC 60188, IEC 60192, IEC 60662, IEC 61167 and IEC 61549 should be referred to for such
characteristics.
It may be expected that lamps which comply with this standard will operate safely at supply
voltages between 90 % and 110 % of rated supply voltage and when operated with a ballast
complying with IEC 60922 and IEC 60923, with a starting device complying with IEC 60926 and
IEC 60927, and in a luminaire complying with IEC 60598-1.

the immediate lamp wrapping or container may be marked with the corresponding symbol as
shown in Annex H.
NOTE In North America, a suitable cautionary notice is required. Additional use of symbols is optional.
If applicable, information shall be given about
a) the provision that the lamp shall be operated in an enclosed luminaire only (for symbol, see
H.1);
b) the hazard associated with a high level of UV radiation emitted by the lamp (for symbol, see
H.2). The value of the specified maximum specific effective radiant UV power shall be
made available for proper luminaire design (see Clause F.5) if it exceeds
– 6 mW/klm for a non-reflector lamp, or
– 6 mW/(m × klx) for a reflector lamp;
NOTE In CIE S009 exposure limits are given as effective irradiance values (unit W/m ) and for risk group
classification the values for general lighting lamps are to be reported at an illuminance level of 500 lx. For
example, the borderline for risk group exempt is 0,001 W/m at an illuminance level of 500 lx. In other words
2 2
the specific value, related to the illuminance, is 0,001 divided by 500 in W/(m .lx), which is 2 mW/(m .klx).
Since lx=lm/m this equals 2 mW/klm specific effective UV power. The borderline between risk group 1 and 2 is
0,003 W/m , which equals 6 mW/klm specific effective UV power.
c) the risk of the occurrence of a rectifying effect at the end of lamp life;
d) the hazard(s) that exist(s) when the outer envelope is broken (for symbol, see H.3).
Compliance is checked by visual inspection.

The specimens are conditioned for 1 h in the same heating cabinet where the test will be
made, at a temperature according to the values given in annex D.
The surface of the part under test is placed in the horizontal position. A steel ball of 5 mm
diameter is pressed against this surface by a force of 20 N. If the surface under test bends, the
part where the ball presses shall be supported. If the test cannot be made on the complete
specimen, a suitable section may be cut from it and used as a test specimen. The specimen
shall be at least 2,5 mm thick, but if such a thickness is not available on the specimen then two
or more pieces are placed together.
The test is made in a heating cabinet at a temperature according to values given in annex D.
After 1 h, the ball shall be removed from the specimen, which is then immersed within 10 s in
cold water for cooling down to approximately room temperature. The diameter of the
impression caused by the ball is measured and shall not exceed 2 mm.
NOTE In the case of curved surfaces, the shorter axis is measured if the indent is elliptical.
In case of doubt, the depth p of the impression is measured and the diameter Ø calculated

7 Assessment
7.1 General
This clause specifies the method a manufacturer shall use to show that his product conforms
to this standard on the basis of whole production assessment, in association with his test
records on finished products. This method can also be applied for certification purposes.
Subclause 7.2 gives details of assessment by means of the manufacturer’s records.
Details of a batch test procedure which can be used to make a limited assessment of batches
are given in 7.3. Requirements for batch testing are included in order to enable the assessment
of batches presumed to contain unsafe lamps. As some safety requirements cannot be
checked by batch testing, and as there may be no previous knowledge of the manufacturer’s
quality, batch testing cannot be used for certification purposes nor in any way for an approval
of the batch. Where a batch is found to be acceptable, a testing agency may only conclude that
there is no reason to reject the batch on safety grounds.

7.2 Assessment of whole production by means of manufacturer’s records
The manufacturer shall show evidence that his products comply with the particular
requirements of 7.2.1. To this end, the manufacturer shall make available all the results of his
product testing pertinent to the requirements of this standard.
The test results may be drawn from working records and, as such, may not be immediately
available in collated form.
The assessment shall be based in general on individual factories, each meeting the
acceptance criteria of 7.2.1. However, a number of factories may be grouped together,
providing they are under the same quality management. For certification purposes, one
certificate may be issued to cover a nominated group of factories, but the certification authority
shall have the right to visit each plant to examine the local relevant records and quality control
procedures.
For certification purposes, the manufacturer shall declare a list of marks of origin and
corresponding lamp families, groups and/or types which are within the scope of this standard
and manufactured in a nominated group of factories. The certificate shall be taken to include
all lamps so listed made by the manufacturer. Notification of additions or deletions may be
made at any time.
In presenting the test results, the manufacturer may combine the results of different lamp
families, groups and/or types according to column 4 of Table 1.
The whole production assessment requires that the quality control procedures of a
manufacturer shall satisfy recognized quality system requirements for final inspection. Within
the framework of a quality system based also on in-process inspection and testing, the
manufacturer may show compliance with some of the requirements of this standard by means
of in-process inspection instead of finished product testing.
The manufacturer shall provide sufficient test records with respect to each clause and
subclause as indicated in column 5 of Table 1.
The number of nonconformities in the manufacturer’s records shall not exceed the limits shown
in Tables 2 or 3 relevant to the acceptable quality level (AQL) values shown in column 6 of
Table 1.
The period of review for assessment purposes need not be limited to a predetermined year, but
may consist of 12 consecutive calendar months immediately preceding the date of review.
A manufacturer who has met, but no longer meets, the specified criteria shall not be
disqualified from claiming compliance with this standard providing he can show that
a) action has been taken to remedy the situation as soon as the trend was reasonably
confirmed from his test records;
b) the specified acceptance level was re-established within a period of
1) six months for 4.3.2.1 b) and 4.3.2.2 b);
2) one month for the other clauses and subclauses.

When compliance is assessed after corrective action has been taken in accordance with items
a) and b), the test records of these lamp families, groups and/or types which do not comply
shall be excluded from the 12-month summation for their period of non-compliance. The test
results relating to the period of corrective action shall be retained in the records.
A manufacturer who has failed to meet the requirements of a clause or subclause where
grouping of the test results is permitted shall not be disqualified for the whole of the lamp
families, groups and/or types so grouped if he can show by additional testing that the problem
is present only in certain families, groups and/or types so grouped. In this case, either these
families, groups and/or types are dealt with in accordance with a) and b) as above or they are
deleted from the list of families, groups and/or types which the manufacturer may claim are in
conformity with the standard.
In the case of a family, group and/or type which has been deleted from the list, it may be
reinstated if satisfactory results are obtained from tests on a number of lamps equivalent to the
minimum annual sample specified in Table 1, required by the clause or subclause where non-
compliance occurred. This sample may be collected over a short period of time.
In the case of new products, there may be features which are common to existing lamp
families, groups and/or typ
