LAMP CONTROL GEAR –

Part 2-3: Particular requirements for a.c. and/or d.c.
supplied electronic control gear for fluorescent lamps


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 61347-2-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 34C: Auxiliaries
for lamps, of IEC technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This standard shall be used in conjunction with IEC 61347-1 (2007) and its Amendment 1
(2010).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2000, its Amendment 1
(2004) and its Amendment 2 (2006) ), IEC 61347-2-4 published in 2000, IEC 61347-2-5
published in 2000 and IEC 61347-2-6 published in 2000. This second edition constitutes a
technical revision.

The significant revisions with respect to the first edition are:
– rectifying test conditions when dimming;
– construction requirements;
– measurement circuits and limits for HF leakage currents;
– modification of the structure to become a standard exclusively for a.c. and d.c. central
supplied electronic control gear for general lighting and Annex J cover centrally-
supplied emergency control gear.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
34C/955/FDIS 34C/968/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 61347-1 so as to
convert that publication into the IEC standard: Particular requirements for a.c. and/or d.c.
supplied electronic control gear for fluorescent lamps.
NOTE In this standard, the following print types are used:
– Requirements proper: in roman type.
– Test specifications: in italic type.
– Explanatory matter: in smaller roman type.
A list of all parts of the IEC 61347 series, published under the general title: Lamp control
gear, can be found on the IEC website.
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,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
This second edition of IEC 61347-2-3, published in conjunction with IEC 61347-1, represents
an review of the first edition of IEC 61347-2-3. The formatting into separately published parts
provides for ease of future amendments and revisions. Additional requirements will be added
as and when a need for them is recognized.
This standard, and the parts which make up IEC 61347-2, in referring to any of the clauses of
IEC 61347-1, specify the extent to which such a clause is applicable and the order in which
the tests are to be performed; they also include additional requirements, as necessary. All
parts which make up IEC 61347-2 are intended to be self-contained and, therefore, do not
include references to each other. However, for the case of emergency lighting lamp control
gear, some cross-referencing has been necessary.
Where the requirements of any of the clauses of IEC 61347-1 are referred to in this standard
by the phrase ”The requirements of clause n of IEC 61347-1 apply”, this phrase is interpreted
as meaning that all requirements of the clause in question of part 1 apply, except any which
are clearly inapplicable to the specific type of lamp control gear covered by this particular part
of IEC 61347-2.

use on a.c. and d.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz with operating frequencies
deviating from the supply frequency, associated with fluorescent lamps as specified in
IEC 60081 and IEC 60901, and other fluorescent lamps for high-frequency operation.
Performance requirements are the subject of IEC 60929.
Particular requirements for electronic control gear with means protection against overheating
are given in Annex C.
For emergency lighting operation, particular requirements for control gear operated from a
central supply are given in Annex J. Performance requirements appropriate to the safe
