Overview
EN 61347-2-8:2001 (CLC adoption of IEC 61347-2-8:2000) is the European safety standard that sets particular requirements for ballasts for fluorescent lamps. It applies to non-resistive ballasts intended for use on a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz, associated with fluorescent lamps with or without pre-heated cathodes and operated with or without a starter or starting device. This part is to be used together with EN 61347-1 (general and safety requirements for lamp controlgear) and replaces the earlier EN 60920 series.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope of application: Ballasts (excluding resistance types) for fluorescent lamps matching rated wattages, dimensions and characteristics referenced in EN 60081 and EN 60901.
- Safety requirements: Establishes safety and constructional requirements specific to fluorescent lamp ballasts; intended to be read in conjunction with the general requirements in EN 61347-1.
- Test and conformity framework: The standard contains normative test specifications and annexes-Annexes A to I and ZA are normative, while Annex J is informative-defining verifiable conditions that manufacturers and laboratories use to demonstrate compliance.
- Harmonisation and status: This EN mirrors IEC 61347-2-8:2000 and supersedes earlier EN 60920 editions (including amendments), providing a harmonised basis for national implementation across CENELEC members.
Practical applications and users
- Manufacturers and designers of fluorescent lamp ballasts use EN 61347-2-8 to design safe, compliant products for European markets.
- Test laboratories and certification bodies apply the standard’s test specifications and normative annexes to verify conformity and support CE marking.
- Electrical engineers, product specification writers and procurement teams reference the standard when selecting or specifying ballasts for industrial, commercial and public lighting installations.
- Regulators and compliance officers use it to align national rules with European safety requirements.
Related standards
- EN 61347-1 - Lamp controlgear: General and safety requirements (mandatory companion standard).
- IEC 61347-2-8:2000 - International equivalent text.
- EN 60081 and EN 60901 - Standards specifying lamp rated wattages, dimensions and characteristics referenced by EN 61347-2-8.
- Superseded: EN 60920 series (older ballast requirements).
EN 61347-2-8 is essential for anyone involved in the design, testing, certification, or procurement of fluorescent lamp ballasts seeking compliance with European safety and harmonisation requirements.

The article discusses the safety requirements for ballasts used with fluorescent lamps. These ballasts are used on a.c. supplies up to 1,000 V at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The ballasts are associated with fluorescent lamps that have pre-heated cathodes and can be operated with or without a starter or starting device. The standard also specifies the rated wattages, dimensions, and characteristics of the lamps. This first edition of the standard replaces a previous edition published in 1990 and is a minor revision. The standard should be used in conjunction with another standard, EN 61347-1. The standard was established based on the first edition of EN 61347-1 published in 2000.
