Dear IECEE Member NCBs,
; s! ?% g% a: a6 A5 V
+ C( P L6 i8 J2 E2 J) a2 |# nIt has come to our attention that CB Test Certificates have been issued to test/certify "Self Ballasted lamps with LEDs" using the IEC Standard 60968 "Self-ballasted lamps for general lighting services" !
* ]: T) w5 G+ T3 e: f& U, g+ c" K$ |- g
IEC 60968 is not covering Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and therefore we wonder how the safety aspects of the light emitting diodes have been covered by using such standard.
; ` l& G4 C6 m* u3 ]8 a% @! a8 R! O! c# k/ a- _, ]+ {+ h7 T+ k
It is pointed out that TC 76 is actually developing an IEC/TR (Technical Report) IEC/TR 62471-2 Ed.1: Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems - Part 2: Guidance on manufacturing requirements relating to non-laser optical radiation safety.
( i7 P9 I' K9 U' LThis Draft, IEC/TR 62471-2, is under voting process until April 3, 2009 under the reference 76/396/DTR, which means by the end of next week. The only comments that have been provided as of today to the DTR are of editing/clarification nature. Its final publication is expected for June 2009. 2 p& R8 n- b2 j& u$ |; Z; |

If by the 3rd of April, it is confirmed that 76/396/DTR is acceptable to the IEC NCs, the IECEE CMC could be requested to immediately use such DTR whilst awaiting the publication of the IEC/TR 62471-2 7 H% m5 r. I+ Y4 C; g% Y

Therefore, whilst awaiting the outcome of the voting of 76/396/DTR and until further notice by the IECEE Secretariat, you are not entitled to issue CB Test Certificates for Self Ballasted LED Lamps. 0 D! k3 L8 P/ V" E
R/ }* s6 R1 T; U. B- hFor those NCBs that might have issued CB Test Certificates for SELF-BALLASTED LED Lamps based on IEC 60968 and/or any IEC standard such as IEC 60598-1, IEC 60825-1 etc, you are requested to recall such CB Test Certificate! |
