Lampes à ballast intégré pour l'éclairage général - Prescriptions de sécurité

This standard specifies the safety and interchangeability requirements, together with the test methods and conditions, required to show compliance of tubular fluorescent and other gas-discharge lamps with integrated means for controlling starting and stable operation (self-ballasted lamps), intended for domestic and similar general lighting purposes, having:

- a rated wattage up to 60 W;

- a rated voltage between 110 V and 130 V;

- E26 Edison screw caps.

The requirements of this standard relate only to type testing.

Recommendations for whole product testing or batch testing are under consideration.

This standard applies to self-ballasted lamps intended for use in lighting equipment, designed to be installed on branch circuits not exceeding 750 V and used in accordance with the rules of the Canadian Electrical Code, (CEC), Part I.

Note: Manufacturers designing products for use in Canada may find a helpful summary of the equipment-related requirements of the CEC, Part I, in CSA publication SPE-2000.

This standard is concerned only with safety criteria and does not take into account the performance of self-ballasted lamps with respect to luminous flux, life, or power consumption characteristics. Readers should refer to IEC 60969 and CAN/CSA- C861 for such characteristics with respect to types normally used for general lighting services
