SELF-BALLASTED LED LAMPS FOR GENERAL
LIGHTING SERVICES WITH SUPPLY VOLTAGES > 50 V –
PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

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 62612 has been prepared by subcommittee 34A: Lamps, of IEC
technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This first edition of IEC 62612 cancels and replaces IEC/PAS 62612. This edition constitutes
a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to
IEC/PAS 62612.
a) The standard explicitly states that real life time tests are not part of the test regime.
Instead, a period of up to 6 000 h is chosen in order to assess manufacturers’ claims of
maintenance.
b) Technical features have been adapted to IEC/PAS 62717 (performance of LED modules)
as far as possible. Examples are the family approach and the temperature measuring
point.
c) Marking requirements are shifted from the product to the packaging.
d) The number of lamps to be tested is made test specific, not general.

e) First requirements are given for setting the colour for colour adjustable lamps and the
luminous flux level of dimmable lamps.
f) The structure of tests is clearly divided between requirement and compliance.
g) Statistical compliance is separated into individual and average.
h) Light output requirements are extended to luminous intensity distribution, peak intensity,
beam angle and efficacy.
i) The use of the terms “correlated colour temperature” and “chromaticity coordinates” is
corrected.
j) The number of tolerance categories is reduced from 8 to 4, and split between initial and
maintained values.
k) Colour rendering is differently assessed at initial and maintained state.
l) Three lumen maintenance categories are given instead of five.
m) The endurance tests are completely re-established.
n) The verification (formerly: assessment) clause is completed.
o) Information for luminaire design is added.
p) Stabilisation is more precise (Annex A on the method of measuring lamp characteristics)
and extension is made for the additional photometric and colorimetric parameters.
q) Annex B on measuring luminous flux is contained in Annex A. New Annex B provides the
photometric code.
r) Further annexes are added: Annex C and D for displacement factor, Annex E for life time
metrics/reliability and Annex F for examples of LED dies and LED packages.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

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,

INTRODUCTION
This International Standard is the first edition of a performance standard (precursor:
IEC/PAS 62612) for self-ballasted LED lamps for general lighting applications and
acknowledges the need for relevant tests for this new source of electrical light, sometimes
called “solid state lighting”.
The provisions in this standard represent the technical knowledge of experts from the fields of
the semiconductor (LED chip) industry and of those of the traditional electrical light sources.

SELF-BALLASTED LED LAMPS FOR GENERAL
LIGHTING SERVICES WITH SUPPLY VOLTAGES > 50 V –
PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS



1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the performance requirements, together with the test
methods and conditions, required to show compliance of LED lamps with integral means for
stable operation, intended for domestic and similar general lighting purposes, having:
• a rated power up to 60 W;
• a rated voltage of > 50 V a.c. up to 250 V a.c.;
• a lamp cap as listed in IEC 62560.
These performance requirements are additional to the safety requirements in IEC 62560.
The only feature provided by this standard, when applied for replacement purposes, is
information on maximum lamp outlines.
The requirements of this standard relate to type testing. This standard covers LED lamps that
intentionally produce white light, based on inorganic LEDs.
Recommendations for whole product testing or batch testing are under consideration.
The life time of LED lamps is in most cases much longer than the practical test times.
Consequently, verification of manufacturer’s life time claims cannot be made in a sufficiently
confident way, because projecting test data further in time is not standardised. For that
reason the acceptance or rejection of a manufacturer's life time claim, past an operational
time as stated in 7.1, is out of the scope of this standard.
Instead of life time validation, this standard has opted for lumen maintenance codes at a
defined finite test time. Therefore, the code number does not imply a prediction of achievable
life time. The categories, represented by the code, are lumen-depreciation character
categories showing behaviour in agreement with manufacturer’s information, provided before
the test is started.
In order to validate a life time claim, several methods of test data extrapolation exist. A
general method of projecting measurement data beyond limited test time is under
consideration.
The pass/fail criterion of the life time test as defined in this standard is different from the life
time metrics claimed by manufacturers. For explanation of recommended life time metrics,
see Annex E.
NOTE When lamps are operated in a luminaire the claimed performance data can deviate from the values
established via this standard due to e.g. luminaire components that impact the performance of the lamp.
