METAL HALIDE LAMPS –
PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION
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.
International Standard IEC 61167 has been prepared by subcommittee 34A: Lamps, of IEC
technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This second edition replaces the first edition published in 1992 and its Amendments 1 (1995),
2 (1997) and 3 (1998). This second edition constitutes a technical revision.
st
Compared to the 1 edition, measurement methods for electrical and photometric parameters
are included and safety related requirements are deleted as far as they are now covered by
IEC 62035. Modern kind of ignition (e.g. aggregated pulse widths) and operation (low
frequency square wave) is added with extensive description of methods of calculation for
peak current ratio. At the same time, a review was made on lamps in the market which are fit
for standardising, leading to a big number of new lamp data sheets in the range of 20 W up to
250 W lamp power.

INTRODUCTION
Since IEC 62035 Discharge lamps (excluding fluorescent lamps) – Safety specifications was
published in 1999, the related lamp specific performance standards like IEC 61167 needed to
be reviewed in an editorial action, splitting performance and safety requirements, but also to
include all items in abeyance, stored for this occasion. The separation has already been
carried out with other HID lamps. So, in some instances, the “pilot” text of IEC 60188 has
been used. Moreover, the measurement part has been introduced with the assistance of
IEC 60188 and IEC 60081.
It may also be noted that the colour coordinates for CCT 3000 K and 4200 K were adjusted to
a point two units below Planck in order to take account of the life time shift to higher y-values.
Apart from these basic changes which were needed for long time, the new technique of low
frequency square wave (LFSW) operation was implemented. This has led to additional pages
to the existing lamp data sheets and several annexes describing and specifying the
requirements. Further, detailed requirements and measurement methods for the ignition
(break down/take-over/run-up) were introduced. Intense discussions took place on
measurement and specification of the peak-current ratio during ignition and steady state.
Workshops were held in order to come to a broad worldwide acceptance of the concepts. The
Workshops were open for experts from lamp and control gear side in order to accommodate
the interface between control gear and lamp to these requirements.
IEC SC34A MT PRESCO took the opportunity to add further lamp types which were
considered of having market relevance and needing normative support.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) draws attention to the fact that it is
claimed that compliance with this document may involve the use of patents concerning the
lamp given in standard sheets 1039-1, 1041-1, 1080-1 and 1082-1.
IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of this patent right.
The holder of this patent has assured the IEC that he is willing to negotiate licences under
reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants throughout the world.
In this respect, the statement of the holder of these patents is registered with the IEC.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the
subject of patent rights other than those identified above. IEC shall not be held responsible for
identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO (www.iso.org/patents) and IEC (http://www.iec.ch/tctools/patent_decl.htm) maintain on-
line data bases of patents relevant to their standards. Users are encouraged to consult the
data bases for the most up to date information concerning patents.

METAL HALIDE LAMPS –
PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the performance requirements for metal halide lamps for
general lighting purposes.
For some of the requirements given in this standard, reference is made to “the relevant lamp
data sheet”. For some lamps, these data sheets are contained in this standard. For other
lamps, falling under the scope of this standard, the relevant data are supplied by the lamp
manufacturer or responsible vendor.
The requirements of this standard relate only to type testing.
NOTE The requirements and tolerances permitted by this standard correspond to 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 being as close to the production centre point values as
possible.
It may be expected with the tolerances given in the standard that product manufactured in accordance with the type
test sample will comply with the standard for the majority of 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 Lamp requirements
4.1 General
A lamp, on which compliance with this standard is claimed shall comply with the requirements
of IEC 62035.
Some lamps are specified on the data sheet or declared by the manufacturer as suitable for
operation on low frequency square wave ballasts only. For these lamps, separate
requirements are indicated where appropriate.
A lamp shall be so designed that its performance is reliable in normal and accepted use. In
general, this can be achieved by satisfying the requirements of the following subclauses.
The requirements given apply to 95 % of production.
4.2 Marking
A suitable advice on the colour appearance is required. It may preferably take the form of
ILCOS (see IEC 61231). Other options are the manufacturer’s code or the correlated colour
temperature. The information may be given either on the lamp or in the supplier’s catalogue.
4.3 Dimensions
The dimensions of a lamp shall comply with the values specified on the relevant lamp data
sheet.
4.4 Caps
The cap on a finished lamp shall comply with IEC 60061-1.
4.5 Starting and warm-up characteristics

A lamp shall start fully within the maximum run-up time specified on the relevant lamp data
sheet and remain alight. Conditions and method of test are given in Annex A.
The maximum inrush current as given on the lamp data sheet shall not be exceeded. For the
test circuit and procedure, see IEC 60923.
The lamp warm-up current shall be between the minimum and maximum values as given on
the lamp data sheet. Conditions and method of test are given in Annex A.
NOTE The maximum inrush current (peak) restricts the value of the current during rectification in the starting
phase in order to prevent performance damages of ballast and lamp (overheating and melting of the electrodes).
The minimum warm-up current is required in order to safeguard the transition from the glow phase to the arc
phase.
61167  IEC:2011 – 11 –
4.5.2 Lamps suitable for low frequency square wave ballasts only
A lamp shall start and run up fully within the time specified on the lamp data sheet, applying

5 Information for ballast, ignitor and luminaire design
In order to ensure reliable starting and operating conditions, ballasts, ignitors and luminaires
should meet the requirements specified on the relevant lamp data sheet. Additional
information for luminaire design, see Annex D.
IEC 60682 provides information for the measurement of the pinch temperature. Advice
regarding the measurement of the bulb temperature can be taken from IEC 60357, Annex D.
These measurements should be taken account of for performance criteria of the lamps.
For lamps with nominal wattage 35 W/70 W/150 W, rated wattage for electronic ballast design
is 39 W/73 W/147 W.
