EN 61547: 2009 Equipment for general lighting purposes – EMC immunity requirements

The text of document 34/127/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 61547, prepared by IEC TC 34. Lamps and related equipment, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 61547 on 2009-07-01.

This European Standard supersedes EN 61547:1995+A1:2000.

The main reason for this revision is to update the dates of the references to the basic standards which also required some editorial changes in the tables. Other changes are;

1 Scope: clearly excludes multimedia equipment with lamps (e.g. TV);

3.2 Enclosure port: removal of the “earth port” in Figure 1 as in the generic EMC standards; the note below Figure 1 in EN 61547:1995relates to a requirement and moved to the main text under 5.1 General;

5.6 Injected currents: update of the names of the example CDN’s;

5.7 Surges: test only at the peak of the mains voltage by deleting the requirement to test at zero crossings;

5.8 Voitage dips and interruptions: clarifying that the voltage level changes at the zero crossing;

6.3.2 Independent auxiliaries: Table 14 has been simplified because most independent auxiliaries have identical performance criteria;

6.3.3 Luminaires: Table 15 has been simplified because most luminaires have identical performance criteria; correcting the error in the injected current column by changing the B into A for luminaires with electronic ballast for discharge lamps; additionally, the requirements for emergency luminaires operating in high risk task areas are updated to meet the levels specified in EN 60598-2-22.

7 Conditions during testing: the “under consideration” for the operating conditions for starting devices has been deleted; the supply voltage and frequency during the test are clearly stated; shortening the immunity test for equipment incorporating a regulating control by testing at one light output level (50 % ±10 %) instead of testing at three light output levels which are difficult to adjust and do not provide extra protection.

This standard is to be read in conjunction with the relevant basic and/or product standard(s).

The following dates were fixed:
-latest date by which the EN has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow)

This European Standard EN 61547: 2009 has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and covers essential requirements of EC Directive EMC (2004/108/EC). See Annex ZZ.

Annexes ZA and ZZ have been added by CENELEC.
