FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 2) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the
Electric Lamps and Their Auxiliaries Sectional Committee had been approved by the Electrotechnical Division
Council.
This standard specifies the performance requirements for self ballasted lamps for general lighting services for
d.c. supplies up to 250 V or a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz.
This standard is published in two parts. The other part in the series is:
Part 1 Safety requirements
There will be and are already LED products in the market which substitute existing lamps, either as retrofit mains
voltage incandescent or self ballasted fluorescent lamps or as replacement for tungsten halogen lamps below 50 V.
This standard is based on IEC 62612 ‘Self-ballasted LED lamps for general lighting services for voltage above
50 V — Performance requirements’ issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) with following
modifications:
a) Made applicable for d.c. supplies up to 250 V or a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz;
b) Schedule of type test and acceptance test has been incorporated;
c) Ambient test condition changed to 27°C;
d) Selection of samples incorporated;
e) Conditions of compliances incorporated;
f) In Table 2 data related chromaticity co-ordinates and CCT values for 5 700 K added;
g) Requirements of harmonics and p.f. have been added; and
h) Tolerence for lamp power (see 8) increased to 15 percent and for luminous flux (see 9) decreased to 90
percent.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960
‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
