The standards IEC 62471 and IEC/TR 62471-2 contain horizontal requirements available that

need to be introduced into product standards, e.g to IEC 61195

The horizontal requirements are transformed into requirements for double-capped fluorescent

lamps

The lamps within the scope of this standard are general lighting service (GLS) lamps

according to the definition 3.11 of IEC 62471:2006," lamps intended for lighting spaces that

are typically occupied or viewed by people "

According to Clause 6 of IEC 62471:2006, radiation of GLS lamps is measured at a distance

equivalent to 500 lx

Measured at the 500 lx distance, GLS lamps will not exceed risk group 1 for blue light hazard

and risk group 0 for IR radiation This combination of risk group and hazard does not require

marking (Table 1 of IEC/TR 62471-2:2009)

Hazards from UV radiation of GLS lamps are now covered in 2.13 of IEC 61195

Hence, IEC 62471 does not require any additional marking for GLS lamps

specific effective radiant UV power

effective power of the UV radiation of a lamp related to its luminous flux

NOTE 1 Specific effective radiant UV power is expressed in mW/klm

NOTE 2 The effective power of the UV radiation is obtained by weighting the spectral power distribution of the

lamp with the UV hazard function S UV (λ) Information about the relevant UV hazard function is given in IEC 62471

It only relates to possible hazards regarding UV exposure of human beings It does not deal with the possible

influence of optical radiation on materials, like mechanical damage or discoloration

2.3.3 System requirements

Where a cap sheet as specified in IEC 60061-1 includes information on system requirements, lamps

shall not exceed the limits specified

Compliance is checked by measurement.



The specific effective radiant UV power emitted by the lamp shall not exceed the value of

2 mW/klm For reflector lamps it shall not exceed the value of 2 mW/(m2 ⋅ klx)

NOTE In IEC 62471 exposure limits are given as effective irradiance values (unit W/m 2 ) and for risk group

classification the values for general lighting lamps are reported at an illuminance level of 500 lx The borderline for

risk group exempt is 0,001 W/m 2 at an illuminance level of 500 lx This means the specific value, related to the

illuminance, is 0,001 divided by 500 in W/(m 2 ⋅lx), which is 2 mW/(m 2 ⋅klx) Since lx = lm/m 2 , this equals 2 mW/klm

specific UV power

Compliance is checked by spectroradiometric measurement, under the same conditions as for

the lamp’s electrical and photometric characteristics as given in IEC 60081

In order to ensure appropriate engagement between the cap and holder during the test, a

locating device shall be fitted at a suitable distance from the holder to provide adequate

support for the lamp

The face of the cap shall be in close contact with the face of the special holder

C.4 Water contact

The bulb of lamps according to this standard is suitable for water contact, e.g drips, splashing, etc., and

therefore the bulb part of the lamps do not require additional luminaire protection

Any IPX1 or better protection of the lamp contact areas can only be achieved in luminaires having

lampholder with proper IP rating also for the sealing to the diameter of the lamp ends and providing

protection to the lamp end components containing the contact areas.
