Dear IECEE Member NCBs, / \( y( s) T* T( H0 Y$ l9 y( k

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" !
8 t" M; q3 b+ [* p, \ a2 r
7 ]8 W- }+ O- u }9 r- R/ ~% NIEC 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.
4 M+ j" C/ }8 e
F/ {, ^4 g% k- t% }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. + @, k- W0 P+ l$ S
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. 6 W) t, d* P; Q9 Q8 X
( v5 @# r, x# k6 sIf 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 [' }% Q1 W4 ]3 X# kTherefore, 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. # L! n9 y( c% x8 h8 k( k

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! |
