This International Standard specifies performance requirements for electronic ballasts for use
on a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz with operating frequencies deviating from the
supply frequency, associated with tubular fluorescent lamps as specified in IEC 60081 and
IEC 60901 and other tubular fluorescent lamps for high frequency operation.
NOTE 1 Tests in this standard are type tests. Requirements for testing individual ballasts during production are
not included.
NOTE 2 There are regional standards regarding the regulation of mains current harmonics and immunity for endproducts
like luminaires and independent controlgear. In a luminaire, the controlgear is dominant in this respect.
Controlgear, together with other components, should comply with these standards.
