SIST EN 61199:2011/A1:2013
(Amendment)Single-capped fluorescent lamps - Safety specifications
Single-capped fluorescent lamps - Safety specifications
This International Standard specifies the safety requirements for single-capped fluorescent lamps for general lighting purposes of all groups having caps according to Table 1.
It also specifies the method a manufacturer should use to show compliance with the requirements of this standard on the basis of whole production appraisal in association with his test records on finished products. This method can also be applied for certification purposes. Details of a batch test procedure which can be used to make limited assessment of batches are also given in this standard.
NOTE Compliance with this standard concerns only safety criteria and does not take into account the performance of single-capped fluorescent lamps for general lighting purposes with respect to luminous flux, colour, starting and operational characteristics. For this information, readers are referred to IEC 60901.
It may be expected that lamps which comply with this standard will operate safely at supply voltages between 90 % and 110 % of rated supply voltage of the used ballast and when operated with a ballast complying with IEC 61347-2-3 or IEC 61347-2-8 with a starting device complying with IEC 60155 (if applicable) and in a luminaire complying with IEC 60598-1.

Fluorescenčne sijalke z enim vznožkom - Varnostne specifikacije
Ta mednarodni standard določa varnostne zahteve za fluorescenčne sijalke z enim vznožkom za splošne potrebe razsvetljave vseh skupin, ki imajo vznožke v skladu s preglednico 1. Prav tako določa metodo, ki jo mora uporabiti proizvajalec, da izkaže skladnost z zahtevami tega standarda na podlagi presoje celotne proizvodnje v povezavi s svojimi zapisi o preskusih končnih izdelkov. Ta metoda se lahko uporablja tudi za certifikacijo. Podrobnosti o šaržnem preskusnem postopku, ki se lahko uporablja za omejeno oceno serij, so prav tako podane v tem standardu. OPOMBA: Skladnost s tem standardom zadeva samo varnostne kriterije in ne upošteva delovanja fluorescenčnih sijalk z enim vznožkom za splošne potrebe razsvetljave z upoštevanjem svetlobnega toka, barve, značilnosti zagona in delovanja. Te informacije bralci najdejo v IEC 60901. Lahko se pričakuje, da bodo sijalke, ki so v skladu s tem standardom, delovale varno pri napajalni napetosti med 90 % in 110 % ocenjene napajalne napetosti uporabljenega balasta, kadar bodo delovale z balastom, ki je v skladu z IEC 61347-2-3 ali IEC 61347-2-8, z zagonsko napravo, ki je v skladu z IEC 60155 (če velja) in v sijalki, ki je v skladu z IEC 60598-1.

Overview
EN 61199:2011/A1:2013 is the CENELEC amendment to the European version of IEC 61199:2011/A1:2012 and specifies safety requirements for single‑capped fluorescent lamps. The amendment (A1) clarifies electrical safety limits, introduces photobiological safety alignment with IEC 62471, and adjusts safety tables (notably Table F.1) to correctly reflect differences between magnetic and electronic ballast operation. It is intended for general lighting service (GLS) lamps and supports compliance with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD).
Key Topics and Requirements
- Electrical safety limits
- Clarifies the meaning and applicability of the table entries for pre‑heat current, discharge current, and SoS (sum of squares) safety limit.
- Emphasises that the pre‑heat current safety limit applies to magnetic operation with internal or external starters (abnormal operation). Electronic ballasts can exceed this limit without indicating a safety risk when their control gear prevents base overheating (see Annex H of IEC 61199).
- Photobiological safety
- Incorporates horizontal requirements from IEC 62471 and IEC/TR 62471‑2 for photobiological assessment of lamps.
- Defines GLS lamp measurement at an equivalent 500 lx distance and states GLS lamps will typically be below the marking thresholds for blue‑light and infrared (IR) hazards (risk group 1 for blue light; risk group 0 for IR).
- Interchangeability and operation modes
- Table F.1 header revised to explicitly identify operation with starterless (electronic) and starter (magnetic) configurations to avoid misinterpretation of limits.
- Regulatory alignment
- Confirms that the standard covers the Principle Elements of LVD (2006/95/EC) and notes potential patent considerations.
Applications - Who Uses This Standard
- Lamp manufacturers - design and safety verification of single‑capped fluorescent lamps.
- Ballast and control‑gear designers - ensure electronic/magnetic ballast interactions meet safety limits (pre‑heat, discharge, SoS).
- Test laboratories & certification bodies - product testing, photobiological assessment, and conformity assessment.
- Safety engineers, procurement/specification teams, regulators - select compliant lighting components and verify LVD conformity.
- Lighting designers & installers - understand interchangeability constraints and safe usage conditions.
Related Standards
- IEC 61199 (base international standard)
- IEC 62471 & IEC/TR 62471‑2 (photobiological safety guidance)
- Low Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC)
