Dear IECEE Member NCBs,
) P, I: c) v( `; n3 Z. {4 S6 k, F
It 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" !
0 B P3 ^$ g; B/ _* b h; @1 m2 [2 v1 i
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. 0 L( C1 s) N. @3 I* C! J
~$ j: v& K/ 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. 7 ~3 ~7 S9 I1 y7 o% D3 ?) `. ^/ ?( c
This 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.

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 " f# m* ? |* }+ Q; M

For 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! |
