(Amendment)Auxiliaries for lamps - Starting devices (other than glow starters) - Performance requirements
Auxiliaries for lamps - Starting devices (other than glow starters) - Performance requirements
This International Standard specifies performance requirements for starting devices (starters and ignitors) for tubular fluorescent and other discharge lamps for use on a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz, which produce starting pulses not greater than 5 kV. This standard is used in conjunction with IEC 61347-1 and IEC 61347-2-1. NOTE 1 All glow starters for fluorescent and other discharge lamps including thermal relay/cut-outs will be included in IEC 60155. NOTE 2 There are regional standards regarding the regulation of EMC requirements for end-products like luminaires and independent control gear. In a luminaire, the control gear is dominant in this respect. Control gear, together with other components, should comply with these standards.

Pribor za sijalke - Vžigne naprave (razen tlivnih starterjev) - Tehnične zahteve - Dopolnilo A1
Ta mednarodni standard določa tehnične zahteve za vžigne naprave (starterje in sprožilce) za cevne fluorescenčne in druge razelektritvene sijalke za uporabo pri izmeničnem napajanju do 1000 V pri 50 Hz ali 60 Hz, pri čemer nastajajo vžigni impulzi, ki ne presegajo 5 kV. Ta standard se uporablja v povezavi s standardoma IEC 61347-1 in IEC 61347-2-1. OPOMBA 1: Vsi tlivni starterji za fluorescenčne in druge razelektritvene sijalke, vključno s termoreleji/izklopnimi stikali, bodo vključeni v standard IEC 60155. OPOMBA 2: Obstajajo regionalni standardi v zvezi z urejanjem zahtev za elektromagnetno združljivost za končne izdelke, kot so svetilke in neodvisne krmilne naprave. V svetilki je v tem smislu prevladujoča krmilna naprava. Krmilna naprava naj bi bila skupaj z drugimi sestavnimi deli v skladu s temi standardi.

Overview
EN 60927:2007/A1:2013 (IEC 60927:2007/A1:2013) is a CENELEC amendment that updates the European adoption of IEC 60927 on auxiliaries for lamps - starting devices (other than glow starters) - performance requirements. The amendment was approved in October 2013 and aligns the EN version with IEC changes. It applies to starting devices (ignitors) used with discharge and fluorescent lamps and defines test and marking requirements to verify safe, reliable starting performance.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope and applicability: Covers ignitors and starting devices for discharge and fluorescent lamps (ICS 29.140.30).
- Amendment status: Modifies EN 60927:2007; endorsed by CENELEC and published as EN 60927:2007/A1:2013. Implementation and national adoption dates are specified in the amendment.
- Marking changes: The amendment removes a previously existing item c) from the Marking clause (see full text for details).
- Test conditions (clause 7.3.2) - significant technical change:
- Tests use two ignitors connected as in normal use, each associated with appropriate control gear.
- Test voltage is set to 1.06 × the rated supply voltage of the control gear.
- Ignitors are operated at their marked maximum case temperature t and without lamp.
- One ignitor’s live connections are loaded by the maximum allowable load capacitance, while the other is left unloaded.
- Control gear used in the endurance test must comply with Annex A; failed control gear is replaced during the test.
- Additional testing is required for ignitors intended to be connected in series with discharge lamps: tested at maximum case temperature and loaded with the lamp’s rated current (use the highest rated current for multi-lamp devices).
- Administrative changes: Deletion of definition 3.7 and editorial adjustments noted in the amendment.
Applications
- Product design and qualification for ignitors and electronic starting devices used in fluorescent and discharge lighting systems.
- Manufacturers verifying compliance with European and IEC performance requirements.
- Test laboratories implementing endurance and performance tests that reflect real-use conditions (including specified voltage margin and capacitance loading).
- Luminaire and control gear designers ensuring compatibility between ignitors and ballast/control gear.
- Regulatory and conformity bodies assessing national adoption and enforcement.
Related Standards
- Base publication: EN 60927:2007 / IEC 60927:2007 (this document is Amendment A1 to that standard).
- Refer to Annex A of the standard for specific control gear requirements used in endurance testing.
