Metal halide lamps - Performance specification (IEC 61167:2018/A1:2018)

This document specifies the performance requirements for metal halide lamps for general lighting purposes.
For some of the requirements given in this document, reference is made to "the relevant lamp data sheet". For some lamps, these data sheets are contained in this document. For other lamps, falling under the scope of this document, the relevant data are supplied by the lamp manufacturer or responsible vendor.
The requirements of this document relate only to type testing.
The requirements and tolerances specified in this document correspond to testing of a type test sample submitted by the manufacturer for that purpose. In principle this type test sample consists of units having characteristics typical of the manufacturer’s production and being as close to the production centre point values as possible.
It can be expected that with the tolerances given in this document, the product manufactured in accordance with the type test sample will comply with this document 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 ISO 2859-10.

Overview

SIST EN 61167:2019/A1:2019 is a European standard issued by the CLC that specifies performance requirements for metal halide lamps used in general lighting applications. This standard focuses primarily on type testing, ensuring lamps meet specific performance criteria typical of consistent manufacturing processes. It includes detailed performance specifications calibrated against type test samples from manufacturers to ensure representative product quality and reliability within permissible tolerances.

This standard serves as a critical benchmark for manufacturers, vendors, and testing laboratories involved in the production, supply, and inspection of metal halide lamps. It helps maintain consistent lamp performance across production batches while providing a reference framework for evaluating lamp characteristics such as temperature limits, luminous efficiency, and operational stability.

Key Topics

  • Performance Requirements: Defines essential performance parameters for metal halide lamps, including luminous efficacy, lamp life, color rendering, and electrical characteristics.
  • Type Testing: Details on sample selection, testing conditions, and tolerances to ensure tested lamps represent typical production quality.
  • Data Sheets: Inclusion of reference lamp datasheets within the document or by manufacturers for specific lamp models that clarify performance criteria.
  • Temperature Limits: Specifies maximum allowable temperatures for critical lamp components to ensure safety and durability.
  • Sampling and Inspection: Recommendations aligned with ISO 2859-10 on sampling methods and inspection procedures by attributes to manage production conformity.
  • Amendment Updates: Clarifications on corrections for maximum temperature values and datasheet revisions to reflect updated design and testing requirements.

Applications

  • General Lighting: SIST EN 61167:2019/A1:2019 applies to metal halide lamps used in commercial, industrial, and public lighting installations where reliable performance and quality standards are essential.
  • Lamp Manufacturing: Provides manufacturers with clear guidelines to produce lamps that meet recognized European performance benchmarks, facilitating product acceptance across EU markets.
  • Quality Assurance: Enables quality control teams and type testing laboratories to systematically assess and verify compliance of metal halide lamps to established performance and safety criteria.
  • Product Development: Assists R&D departments in designing new metal halide lamps by offering detailed performance specifications and temperature thresholds to enhance lamp lifespan and efficiency.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Supports vendors and importers in aligning product offerings with EU directives and regulations related to electrotechnical equipment.

Related Standards

  • IEC 61167:2018: The base international standard titled “Metal halide lamps – Performance specification” on which EN 61167:2018/A1 is based and aligned.
  • ISO 2859-10: Specifies sampling plans and inspection methods by attributes, referenced for type testing and conformity assessment procedures.
  • EU Directives: EN 61167 supports compliance with various EU regulations concerning lamp safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental impact.
  • Other Lamp Standards: Complementary standards covering related lamp types such as fluorescent lamps, discharge lamps, and other discharge lighting technologies under ICS 29.140.30.
