Overview

This document specifies safety requirements for electronic controlgear for LED light sources for use on DC supplies up to 1 500 V or on AC supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. This document is applicable for electronic controlgear for LED light sources with an output voltage (RMS) not higher than 1 000 V. Apart from the specified supply and output voltages, there are no restrictions on the scope of application. The standard differs from DIN EN 61347-2-13 (VDE 0712-43):2017-10 as follows: a) alignment with respect to the fourth edition of IEC 61347-1 - introduction of dated references to the fourth edition of IEC 61347-1 as appropriate; - deletion of the clauses and subclauses which are either no longer relevant or now covered in IEC 61347-1; b) update of normative references, introducing dated references where appropriate; c) scope extension to 1 500 V for direct current; d) scope clarification; e) deletion of unused definitions; f) revision of information and marking requirements; g) new marking requirement "electronic controlgear for LED light sources"; h) new requirements for electronic controlgear for LED light sources with constant light output function or programmable current (additions to Clause 3, Clause 6, Clause 16 and Clause 18); i) modification of requirements for the determination of the output working voltage (new Clause 17); j) new requirements for the determination of the rated output characteristics (Clause 18). LED controlgear are used in indoor and outdoor lighting in order to supply an LED light source with the correct voltage and/or current. Such controlgear can also be used for electrical sources that generate optical radiation, whereby the same technology is employed for purposes other than lighting and radiation outside the visible spectrum is produced.
