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.

HIGH-PRESSURE SODIUM VAPOUR LAMPS –
PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies performance requirements for high-pressure sodium
vapour lamps for general lighting purposes which comply with the safety requirements of
IEC 62035.
For some of the requirements given in this standard, reference is made to “the relevant lamp
data sheet”. For some lamps these data sheets are contained in this standard. For other
lamps, falling under the scope of this standard, the relevant data are supplied by the lamp
manufacturer or responsible vendor.
The requirements of this standard relate only to type testing.
The requirements dealing with the lamp starting test and associated information for
ballast/ignitor design are different depending on the practice of the country in which the lamp
type was originally developed.
NOTE The requirements and tolerances permitted by this standard correspond to testing of a type test sample
submitted by the manufacturer for that purpose. In principle, this type test sample should consist of units having
characteristics typical of the manufacturer’s production and being as close to the production centre point values as
possible.
It may be expected with the tolerances given in the standard that product manufactured in accordance with the type
test sample will comply with the standard 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 IEC 60410.

6 Dimensions
The dimensions of a lamp shall comply with the values specified on the relevant lamp data
sheet.
7 Caps
The cap on a finished lamp shall comply with IEC 60061-1.
8 Test requirements for lamp starting, warm-up, electrical and photometric
characteristics
8.1 General
For the tests for lamp starting, lamp warm-up and lamp electrical characteristics the lamps
shall be operated in a horizontal position in free air and at an ambient temperature of 25 °C ±
5 °C, on a 50 Hz or 60 Hz sinusoidal power supply using the specified reference ballast at
voltage specified on the lamp data sheet. Lamps shall not be operated during 5 h immediately
prior to making the starting test.
8.2 Lamp starting test
8.2.1 Lamps with external ignitor
In view of various types of ignitors in the market using essentially different methods for
2
ignition, a well-defined reference device allows to determine whether a lamp is ignitable in
the sense of the standard or not. Since the device also is the basis for comparable
measurements, essential component changes are not permitted unless the responsible IEC
maintenance team has agreed the changes.
All variable starting parameters are given on the lamp data sheet and refer to either
adjustments of the device or to an implicit property thereof (e.g. waveshape), see Figure A.1
for pulse features. If the lamp data sheet requires a second pulse, during the negative half

reference device are given in Annex F.
The pulse characteristics specified on the relevant lamp data sheet are measured at the
device output terminals in open circuit condition.
NOTE In U.S.A., the reference device is not used. A description of the pulse is given in Figure A.3. The starting
pulse is measured with a simulated lamp-load of 20 pF across the lampholder terminals.
The circuit connections for lamp starting shall be such that the pulse is applied to the lamp
through the eyelet terminal of the cap and with the shell substantially at earth potential.
8.2.2 Lamps with internal starting device
The test voltage shall be as indicated in the relevant lamp data sheet. The starting time
measured from applying the test voltage shall not exceed the maximum value shown on the
lamp data sheets.
8.3 Lamp warm-up test
Prior to the warm-up test, the lamps shall have been aged for a minimum of 10 h using a
suitable production ballast and cooled for a minimum of 1 h prior to the test.
The voltage at lamp terminals shall reach a minimum value within the time specified on the
relevant lamp data sheet.
8.4 Ageing
Before the initial readings are taken the lamp shall be subjected to ageing for 100 h. This
operation may be carried out on a production ballast.
8.5 Lamp electrical characteristics
The lamp electrical characteristics shall comply with the values given in the relevant lamp
data sheet, using the measuring method given in Annex G. During measurement of the
electrical characteristics, the external ignitor shall be disconnected from the lamp circuit.
8.6 Extinguishing voltage test
