DC OR AC SUPPLIED ELECTRONIC CONTROLGEAR 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.
International Standard IEC 62384 has been prepared by subcommittee 34C: Auxiliaries for
lamps, of IEC technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2006 and
Amendment 1:2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) scope extension (direct current from 250 V to 1 000 V);
b) new specifications for measuring the power factor for controlgear with settable/non-
constant output (for instance, to allow for constant light output);
c) deletion of audio frequency requirements;
d) selection of current test circuit by module capacitance (instead of selecting by having or
not having logic circuitry) plus test circuit setup changes.

DC OR AC SUPPLIED ELECTRONIC CONTROLGEAR FOR
LED MODULES – PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

1 Scope
This document specifies performance requirements for electronic controlgear for use on DC or
AC supplies up to 1 000 V (alternating current at 50 Hz or 60 Hz) and with an output
frequency which can deviate from the supply frequency, associated with LED modules
according to IEC 62031. Controlgear for LED modules specified in this document are
designed to provide constant voltage or current. Deviations from the pure voltage and current
types do not exclude the gear from this document.
NOTE 1 The tests in this document are type tests. Requirements for testing individual controlgear during
production are not included.
NOTE 2 Requirements for controlgear which incorporate means for varying the output power are under
consideration.
NOTE 3 It can be expected that controlgear complying with this document 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

4 General notes on tests
4.1 The tests given in this document are type tests.
The requirements and tolerances permitted by this document 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.
NOTE It can be expected with the tolerances given in this document that products manufactured in accordance
with the type test sample will comply with this document 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 on 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:
The power of the LED module(s) when measured at its (their) rated voltage or rated current
(direct current and/or alternating current) shall not differ from the rated power by more than
+6 % and –0 %.
4.3 The tests shall be carried out in the order of the clauses, unless otherwise specified.
4.4 One specimen shall be subjected to all the tests.
4.5 In general all the tests are made on each type of controlgear or, where a range of
similar controlgear is involved for each rated power 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 with regard to LED modules have not been published in an IEC standard, they shall be
made available by the LED module manufacturer.
4.7 All controlgear covered by this document shall comply with the requirements of
IEC 61347-2-13.
4.8 The tests shall be carried out with the length of the output cable of both 20 cm and
200 cm unless otherwise declared by the manufacturer.

5 Classification
5.1 Classification according to the load
a) Single value load controlgear
This type of controlgear is designed for use with one specific output power only, which
may be dissipated by one or more LED modules.
b) Multiple value load controlgear

6.1.1 Controlgear shall be clearly marked as follows:
Circuit power factor, for example λ = 0,9.
For controlgear where the power factor is not constant all over the rated output range and/or
controlgear with a supply voltage range, the power factor may be different for different
combinations of supply voltage and output power. In this case the controlgear shall be marked
with a range of power factor values, for example λ = 0,8 – 0,9.
If the power factor is less than 0,95 leading, it shall be followed by the letter "C", for example
λ = 0,9 C.
6.1.2 In addition to the above mandatory marking, the following information shall either be
given on the controlgear or made available in the manufacturer’s catalogue or the like:
a) if applicable: limits of the permissible temperature range;
b) if applicable: an indication that the controlgear has a stabilized output voltage;
c) if applicable: an indication that the controlgear has a stabilized output current;
d) if applicable: an indication that the controlgear is suitable for operation with a mains
supply dimmer;
e) if applicable: an indication of the operation mode, for example phase control;
f) if applicable: P , the rated minimum output power for the proper operation of the
rated_min
controlgear.
NOTE P can be combined with P in only one marking. e.g. P = 20 W…60 W.
rated_min rated rated
6.2 Optional marking
The following information may either be given on the controlgear or made available in the
manufacturer’s catalogue or the like:
a) total circuit power;
– 8 – IEC 62384:2020  IEC 2020
b) if applicable: a symbol which indicates that the controlgear is a short-circuit proof type
(the symbol is under consideration).
7 Output voltage and current
7.1 Starting and connecting requirements
After starting or connecting a LED module, the output should be within 110 % of its rated
value within 2 s. Maximum current or maximum voltage shall not exceed the values given by
the manufacturer. This performance is tested with the minimum rated power.
NOTE If the output voltage is AC, 110 % is the percentage of the RMS value, if DC, 110 % is the percentage of
the DC value.
7.2 Voltage and current during operation
For controlgear having a non-stabilized output voltage, when supplied with the rated supply
voltage, the output voltage shall not differ by more than ±10 % from the rated voltage of the
LED modules. For controlgear having a stabilized output voltage, when supplied at any supply
voltage between 92 % and 106 % of the rated supply voltage, the output voltage shall not
differ by more than ±10 % from the rated voltage of the LED modules.
For controlgear having a non-stabilized output current, when supplied with the rated supply
voltage, the output current shall not differ by more than ±10 % from the rated current of the
LED modules. For controlgear having a stabilized output current, when supplied at any supply
voltage between 92 % and 106 % of the rated supply voltage, the output current shall not
differ by more than ±10 % from the rated current of the LED modules.
Multiple load controlgear shall be tested with both the minimum and maximum load.
7.3 Capacitive load requirement
The LED module or any additional control unit connected to the controlgear may contain
capacitors for control and/or driving circuitry on the modules and current pulses may be
generated when connecting the LED module to the controlgear. Controlgear overcurrent
detection shall not be disturbed during the starting process of the controlgear.
For test conditions, see Clause A.2. Figure A.1a) describes a test circuit during the starting
process of the controlgear and Figure A.1b) describes a test circuit for connecting the load
during steady state operation.
The test according to Figure A.1b) may be waived under the condition that it is specified by
the manufacturer in the product information of the controlgear that the LED module must be
connected prior to starting the controlgear in order to ensure proper starting of the LED
module.
If the load detection circuit of the controlgear does not allow operation with pure resistive
load, the resistor R is to be substituted with equivalent LED load.
Compliance: The controlgear overvoltage detection shall not act during the starting phase or
when connecting the load in the steady state phase.
8 Total circuit power
At rated voltage, the total circuit power shall not be more than 110 % of the value declared by
the manufacturer, when the controlgear is operated with LED module(s).

9 Circuit power factor
The measured circuit power factor shall not be less than the marked value by more than 0,05
when the controlgear is operated at the rated output power range with LED module(s) and the
whole combination is supplied with rated voltage and frequency.
For controllable controlgear, the power factor is measured with the controlgear adjusted to
provide the maximum output power.
Controlgear designed to provide, in combination with a LED module, constant luminous flux,
are measured with a load not using the rated output power at 0 h, but with the controlgear
providing the maximum output power.
The DUT may be specially prepared in a way that the output power is set to the maximum
value compensating the luminous flux depreciation of the load at the end of life.
For controlgear with a supply voltage range, the test shall be performed with the combination
of supply voltage range and output power range which gives the lowest and highest power
factor (e.g. minimum supply voltage, maximum rated output power and maximum supply
voltage, minimum rated output power). The measured power factors shall not be less than the
lowest and highest marked values by more than 0,05 respectively.
10 Supply current
At rated voltage, the supply current shall not differ by more than +10 % from the value marked
on the controlgear or declared in the manufacturer’s literature, when that controlgear is
operated on its rated power with LED module(s).
11 Operational tests for abnormal conditions
The controlgear shall not be damaged under the following conditions.
a) Test without LED module(s) inserted
The controlgear shall be supplied with rated voltage for 1 h without LED module(s)
inserted. At the end of this test, the LED module(s) shall be connected and shall operate
normally.
b) Test for reduced LED module resistance
Under consideration.
c) Tests for short-circuit proof controlgear
The controlgear is short-circuited for 1 h.
The 1 h test shall be completed also in the case of a thermal protection acting.
After these tests and after restoration of a possible protecting device, the controlgear shall
function normally.
– 10 – IEC 62384:2020  IEC 2020
12 Endurance
12.1 The controlgear shall be subjected to a temperature cycling shock test and a supply
voltage switching test as follows:
a) Temperature cycling shock test
The non-energized controlgear shall be stored firstly at –10°C or if the controlgear is
marked with a lower value, at that value for 1 h. The controlgear is then moved into a
cabinet having a temperature of t and stored for 1 h. Five such temperature cycles shall
c
be carried out.
b) Supply voltage switching test
At rated supply voltage the controlgear shall be switched on and off for 30 s. The cycling
shall be repeated 200 times with no load and 800 times under maximum load conditions.
LED modules failing during this test shall be replaced immediately.
At the end of these tests the controlgear shall operate an appropriate LED module or LED
modules correctly for 15 min.
12.2 The controlgear shall then be operated with an appropriate LED module(s) at rated
supply voltage and at the ambient temperature which produces t , until a test period of 200 h
c
has passed. At the end of this time, and after cooling down to room temperature, the
controlgear shall operate an appropriate LED module(s) correctly for 15 min. During this test
the LED module(s) is (are) placed outside the test enclosure at an ambient temperature of
(25 ± 5) °C.

Annex B
(informative)
Guidance on 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 Électrotechnique Internationale (IEC) est une organisation mondiale de normalisation
composée de l'ensemble des comités électrotechniques nationaux (Comités nationaux de l'IEC). L’IEC a pour
objet de favoriser la coopération internationale pour toutes les questions de normalisation dans les domaines
de l'électricité et de l'électronique. À cet effet, l’IEC – 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 l’IEC"). 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 l'IEC, participent
également aux travaux. L’IEC 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 l'IEC concernant les questions techniques représentent, dans la mesure
du possible, un accord international sur les sujets étudiés, étant donné que les Comités nationaux intéressés
sont représentés dans chaque comité d’études.
3) Les Publications de l’IEC se présentent sous la forme de recommandations internationales et sont agréées
comme telles par les Comités nationaux de l’IEC. Tous les efforts raisonnables sont entrepris afin que l’IEC
s'assure de l'exactitude du contenu technique de ses publications; l’IEC 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 l'IEC s'engagent à appliquer de
façon transparente, dans toute la mesure possible, les publications de l'IEC dans leurs publications nationales
et régionales. Toutes divergences entre toutes Publications de l’IEC et toutes publications nationales ou
régionales correspondantes doivent être indiquées en termes clairs dans ces dernières.
5) L'IEC 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 l’IEC. L’IEC 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 l'IEC, 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 l'IEC, 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 l'IEC ou de
toute autre Publication de l'IEC, 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 l'IEC peuvent faire
l’objet de droits de brevet. L’IEC ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne pas avoir identifié de tels droits
de brevets et de ne pas avoir signalé leur existence.
La Norme internationale IEC 62384 a été établie par le sous-comité 34C: Appareils auxiliaires
pour lampes, du comité d’études 34 de l'IEC: Lampes et équipements associés.
