SINGLE-CAPPED FLUORESCENT LAMPS –
SAFETY SPECIFICATIONS


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 61199 has been prepared by subcommittee 34A: Lamps, of IEC
technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
34A/1468/FDIS 34A/1493/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 third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1999. It constitutes a
technical revision. Main technical changes are the introduction of requirements for high
frequency operation, a new temperature measurement position and few new cap-holder fits.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

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,

INTRODUCTION
For the ease of measurement, a new location for measuring the maximum cap temperature
and maximum cap temperature rise has been introduced with this third edition of this standard,
resulting in new temperature values. However, the design of lampholders is based on the
traditional measurement location. Therefore, a new Annex I has been introduced, providing the
previous methods and values for those lamp types and kinds of lamp operation, which have
been already covered in the previous edition of this standard. For lamps, which are operated by
means of an electronic ballast however, also a new measurement method and temperature
limits are given.
Special attention has been given to the requirements related to high frequency operation, not
covered in the previous edition.

SINGLE-CAPPED FLUORESCENT LAMPS –
SAFETY SPECIFICATIONS



1 Scope
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.

4 Safety requirements
4.1 General
Lamps shall be so designed and constructed that in normal use they present no danger to the
user or the surroundings.
In general, compliance is checked by carrying out all the tests specified.
4.2 Marking
4.2.1 The following information shall be legibly and durably marked on the lamps:
a) mark of origin (this may take the form of a trade mark, the manufacturer's name or the
name of the responsible vendor);
b) the nominal wattage (marked "W" or "watts") or any other indication which identifies
the lamp.
4.2.2 Compliance is checked by the following:
a) presence and legibility of the marking by visual inspection;
b) durability of marking by applying the following test on unused lamps.
The area of the marking on the lamp shall be rubbed by hand with a smooth cloth damped with
water for a period of 15 s.
After this test, the marking shall still be legible.
4.3 Mechanical requirements for caps
4.3.1 Construction and assembly
Caps shall be so constructed and assembled to the tube(s) that the whole assembly remains
intact and attached during and after operation. In case of lamps with G10q, GZ10q and 2GX13
caps, the caps shall be capable of being rotated like described in Annex A.
Compliance is checked by carrying out the tests given in Annex A.
At the end of the tests, the caps shall show no damage that impairs safety.
4.3.2 Dimensional requirements for caps
4.3.2.1 Lamps shall use standardized caps in accordance with the dimensional requirements
of IEC 60061-1.
4.3.2.2 Compliance is checked by using the gauges shown in Table 1.

The connection of lamp cathodes to the pins of caps having four pins shall conform to the
requirements shown in Annex E for the relevant cap.
Compliance is checked by electrical continuity tests between relevant pins and/or by visual
inspection.
4.3.3.2 Key configuration
For those cap types incorporating keys which ensure non-interchangeability with similar lamp
types, the caps shall conform to the cap/key version given in the relevant lamp data sheet
of IEC 60901. Annex F gives guidance to which cap/key shall be used when designing lamps to
operate on a certain ballast.
Compliance is checked by a suitable measuring system and/or visual inspection.
