NEW!IEC 62442-1:2018 est disponible sous forme de IEC 62442-1:2018 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.

L’IEC 62442-1:2018 définit une méthode de mesure et de calcul de la puissance d'entrée totale pour les circuits d’appareillage-lampe fonctionnant avec la ou les lampes à fluorescence qui leur sont associées. La méthode de calcul du rendement des appareillages de lampe est également définie. Le présent document s'applique aux circuits électriques d’appareillage de lampe constitués exclusivement de l'appareillage et de(s) lampe(s). Il s'applique à des alimentations en courant continu jusqu’à 1 000 V et/ou à des alimentations en courant alternatif de 1 000 V au maximum, à 50 Hz ou 60 Hz. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2011. Cette édition constitue une révision technique et a été harmonisée avec l’IEC 62442-2 et l’IEC 62442-3.

ENERGY PERFORMANCE OF LAMP CONTROLGEAR –

Part 1: Controlgear for fluorescent lamps –
Method of measurement to determine the total input power
of controlgear circuits and the efficiency of controlgear

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 62442-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 34C: Auxiliaries for
lamps, of IEC technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2011. This edition
constitutes a technical revision and has been harmonized with IEC 62442-2 and IEC 62442-3.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
CDV Report on voting
34C/1335A/CDV 34C/1376/RVC

Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
