Overview

EN 62560:2012/A11:2019 is a CENELEC amendment to the European safety standard for self‑ballasted LED‑lamps for general lighting services operating at voltages greater than 50 V. Prepared by CLC/TC 34 and approved in 2019, this amendment (A11) updates EN 62560:2012 with additional safety requirements, normative references and an informative annex that maps the standard to the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU. The standard provides a harmonised way to demonstrate conformity for CE marking within its scope (when cited in the Official Journal).

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope: Safety specifications for self‑ballasted LED lamps (voltage > 50 V). Note: radio equipment may be included in the lamp.
  • Relationship to EU law: Annex ZZA links the standard to the LVD (2014/35/EU) and lists which clauses support the Directive’s essential safety objectives; electromagnetic fields (EMF) are not covered by this standard.
  • New/modified clauses (prefix “Z”): additions to Clause 7 (protection against accidental contact) and new subclauses on conductor fixation and related tests.
  • Fixing of conductors (7.Z2):
    • Requirement: Conductors must be fixed such that, if a conductor becomes loose, it cannot reduce clearances or creepage distances below specified values.
    • Assumptions: Two independent fixings will not fail simultaneously; properly locked screw/nut fixings are considered secure.
    • Compliance: Checked by inspection, measurement or by applying a 10 N force in the most unfavourable direction. Examples of acceptable constructions are given (heat‑shrink tubing, soldered and hooked conductors, secured screw terminals, ring lugs, short rigid conductors).
  • Fire and thermal safety: normative references include glow‑wire and flammability test standards (IEC 60695 series).
  • Normative references: includes IEC/EN standards relevant to lamp caps, temperature rise (IEC 60360), luminaires (IEC 60598), LED modules (IEC 62031), lamp controlgear (IEC 61347‑1), and photobiological safety (IEC 62471).

Applications and who uses it

  • Product designers and manufacturers of self‑ballasted LED lamps ensuring safe mechanical and electrical construction.
  • Compliance and testing laboratories performing safety verification and CE marking assessments under the LVD.
  • Regulatory authorities, procurement teams and safety assessors verifying conformity for market access in the EU/EFTA.
  • Integrators and luminaire manufacturers when specifying or accepting lamps for use in fixtures.

Related standards

  • EN/IEC 62560 (base standard), IEC 62031 (LED modules), IEC 61347‑1 (controlgear), IEC 60695 series (glow‑wire/fire tests), IEC 60360 (cap temperature). See Annex ZA for the full list of normative references.

Keywords: EN 62560:2012/A11:2019, self-ballasted LED lamps, safety specifications, LVD, conductor fixing, glow‑wire, CENELEC, CE marking, LED lighting safety.

7.Z2.1 Requirements
The fixing of the conductors inside the lamp shall be such that, if a conductor becomes
loose or detached, the conductor cannot reduce clearances or creepage distances
below the values as specified in 14.
For the purpose of these requirements, it is assumed that:
– two independent fixings will not become loose or detached at the same time; and
– parts fixed by means of screws or nuts provided with self-locking washers or
other means of locking are not liable to become loose or detached.
NOTE Spring washers and the like can provide satisfactory locking.
7.Z2.2 Compliance criteria
Compliance is checked by inspection, by measurement or in case of doubt by applying
a force of 10 N in the most unfavourable direction.
EXAMPLE Constructions regarded as meeting the requirements include:
– close-fitting tubing (for example, a heat shrink or rubber sleeve), applied over the
wire and its termination;
– conductors connected by soldering and held in place near to the termination,
independently of the soldered connection;
– conductors connected by soldering and securely hooked in before soldering,
provided that the hole through which the conductor is passed is not unduly large;
