BS EN 60927:2007+A1:2013:2014 Edition

This International Standard specifies performance requirements for starting devices (starters and ignitors) for tubular fluorescent and other discharge lamps for use on a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz, which produce starting pulses not greater than 5 kV.

This standard is used in conjunction with IEC 61347-1 and IEC 61347-2-1.

NOTE 1 All glow starters for fluorescent and other discharge lamps including thermal relay/cut-outs will be included in IEC 60155.

NOTE 2 There are regional standards regarding the regulation of EMC requirements for end-products like luminaires and independent control gear. In a luminaire, the control gear is dominant in this respect. Control gear, together with other components, should comply with these standards.
