Dear IECEE Member NCBs,

0 b% A% u, d) Z6 S9 V$ z: S3 v SIt 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" !
1 m. f3 w* P2 Q1 x$ Z) }7 d$ Q( v' h. E* @: ?3 n! r
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.
& T% x& y: _( S* u( S7 ?' d: c3 [4 q% g
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.
% U$ C6 l' s1 N1 m1 A0 x DThis 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. . J3 |; n" h- `6 D% i9 k

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.
' Y. T: J1 c$ ~0 W4 |& w6 z! X8 B# y# ?/ F! W& S, P
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! |
