Double-capped LED lamps designed to retrofit liner fluorescent lamps - Safety specifications
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the safety and interchangeability requirements, and the exchange operation together with the test methods and conditions required to show compliance of double-capped LED lamps with G5 and G1 3 caps, intended for replacing fluorescent lamps with the same caps.
The scope of application is as follows:
——a rated power up to 125 W;
——a rated voltage of up to 250 V.
Such LED lamps are designed for replacement without requiring any internal modification of the luminaire.
The existing luminaires, into which the double-capped LED lamps are fitted, can be operated with electromagnetic or electronic controlgear.
The requirements of this standard relate only to type testing.
Recommendations for whole product testing or batch testing are given in Annex A.
Note 1: Where in this standard the term “lamp(s)” is used, it is understood to stand for “double-capped retrofit LED lamp(s)”, except where it is obviously assigned to other types of lamps.
The requirements in this standard are given for general lighting service (excluding for example explosive atmospheres). For lamps for other applications additional requirements may apply.
This standard does not cover double-capped conversion LED lamps where modification in the luminaire is required.
Note 2: This standard includes photobiological safety.

double-capped retrofit LED lamp
tubular LED lamp which can be used as a replacement for double-capped fluorescent lamps without requiring any internal modification in the luminaire and which, after installation, maintains the same level of safety of the replaced lamp in the luminaire
Note: The replacement of a glow starter according to IEC 60155 with LED replacement starter having the same dimensions and fit, for the correct functioning of the double-capped LED lamp is not considered as a modification to the luminaire.
3.2

Information about the relevant UV hazard function is given in IEC 62471. It only relates to possible hazards regarding UV exposure of human beings. It does not deal with the possible influence of optical radiation on materials, such as mechanical damage or discoloration.
4 General requirements and general test requirements
