ENERGY PERFORMANCE OF LAMP CONTROLGEAR –

Part 1: Controlgear for fluorescent lamps –
Method of measurement to determine the total input power
of controlgear circuits and the efficiency of the controlgear


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 62442-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 34C: Auxiliaries for
lamps, of IEC technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
34C/987/FDIS 34C/996/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

A list of all parts of the IEC 62442 series, published under the general title Energy performance
of lamp controlgear, can be found on the IEC website.
This standard has been drafted in response to support classification systems for lamp
controlgear.
Consideration is being given to include in a future edition of this standard:
– Controlgear ‒ high intensity discharge (HID) lamp circuits;
– Transformer or step-down converter ‒ low voltage halogen lamp circuits;
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication 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.

ENERGY PERFORMANCE OF LAMP CONTROLGEAR –

Part 1: Controlgear for fluorescent lamps –
Method of measurement to determine the total input power
of controlgear circuits and the efficiency of the controlgear



1 Scope
This part of IEC 62442 defines a measurement and calculation method of the total input power
for controlgear ‒ lamp circuits when operating with their associated fluorescent lamp(s). The
calculation method for the efficiency of the lamp controlgear is also defined. This International
Standard applies to electrical controlgear lamp circuits consisting only of the controlgear and
the lamp(s). It is intended for use on a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
NOTE Requirements for testing individual controlgear during production are not included.
It specifies the measurement method for the total input power and the calculation method of
the controlgear efficiency for all controlgear used for domestic and normal commercial
purposes operating with the following fluorescent lamps:
– linear fluorescent lamps;
– single-ended (compact) fluorescent lamps;
– other general purpose fluorescent lamps.
This International Standard does not apply to:
– controlgear which form an integral part of the lamp;
– controllable wire-wound magnetic controlgear;
– luminaires, which rely on additional optical performance aspects.

nominal value
suitable approximate quantity value used to designate or identify a component, device or
equipment
3.2
limiting value
the greatest or smallest admissible value of one of the quantities
3.3
rated value
quantity value for specified operating conditions of a component, device or equipment
The value and conditions are specified in the relevant standard or assigned by the

NOTE For the different kinds of operation, rated electrical values are given on the lamp data sheets as:
– rated electrical values under “electrical characteristics”, if the lamp is defined for 50 Hz / 60 Hz operation
only,
– rated electrical values under “electrical characteristics”, if the lamp is defined for high frequency (≥ 20 kHz)
operation only,
– rated electrical values and typical electrical values, if the lamp is defined simultaneously for 50 Hz / 60 Hz
operation and high frequency operation
 for 50 Hz / 60 Hz operation: rated electrical values under “electrical characteristics”, and
 for high frequency operation: rated electrical values under “typical lamp characteristics”.

3.5
electromagnetic controlgear
controlgear which by means of inductance, or a combination of inductance and capacitance,
