Overview
EN 60901:1996/FprA6:2014/prAA:2016 is a CENELEC draft amendment addressing single‑capped fluorescent lamps - performance specifications. Prepared by CLC/TC 34A, it aligns EN 60901 with IEC 60901 amendments and with EU ecodesign and energy‑labelling rules (Commission Regulations EC 245/2009 and EU 874/2012). The document defines test methods, measurement conditions and metadata that support conformity assessment and market surveillance for single‑capped fluorescent lamps.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Performance and measurement requirements for single‑capped fluorescent lamps (discharge lamps).
- Measured parameters (test methods specified in annexes):
- Luminous flux and lamp power (used to calculate efficacy in lm/W).
- Chromaticity coordinates, correlated colour temperature (CCT) and colour rendering index (CRI) (calculation according to CIE standards from Annex B measurements).
- Lamp lumen maintenance factor (LLMF) - flux retention over life (measurements per Annex B and operation per Annex C).
- Lamp survival factor (LSF) - fraction of lamps still operating after defined life/conditions (Annex C).
- Mercury content - measured by CV‑AAS per EN 62321‑4 with sample preparation per EN 62554.
- Testing references: Photometric measurements per EN 13032‑1; safety and cap requirements cross‑referenced (e.g., EN 61199, IEC 60081).
- Regulatory relationship: Where EU Regulations set limits, those take precedence. The standard provides a voluntary means to demonstrate conformity and may confer a presumption of conformity when cited in the Official Journal of the EU.
- Document status: Draft amendment (prAA) to be merged with the parent EN; clauses additional to IEC are prefixed “Z”.
Applications and users
This standard is practical for:
- Lamp manufacturers - design verification, product specification, and documentation for ecodesign/energy‑labelling.
- Test laboratories - performing photometric, electrical and chemical (mercury) tests according to harmonized methods.
- Regulators and market surveillance authorities - verifying compliance with EC 245/2009 and EU 874/2012.
- Procurement, lighting designers and specifiers - comparing lamp efficacy, lumen maintenance and lifetime performance data.
- Compliance officers - preparing technical files and declarations of conformity.
Related standards and regulations
- IEC/EN standards: IEC 60901, IEC 60081, EN 61199, EN 13032‑1, EN 62321‑4, EN 62554
- EU regulations: Commission Regulation (EC) No 245/2009 (ecodesign) and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 874/2012 (energy labelling)
