IEC 60969:2016 Self-ballasted compact fluorescent lamps for general lighting services – Performance requirements

IEC 60969:2016 specifies the performance requirements for self-ballasted compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) intended for general lighting applications. It covers essential characteristics such as luminous flux, efficacy, color rendering index (CRI), power factor, and lamp life. The standard ensures that CFLs operate reliably under normal conditions and deliver consistent lighting performance while maintaining energy efficiency.

The standard sets criteria for initial luminous flux, lumen maintenance, starting time, warm-up time, switching cycle durability, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). It also defines testing methods to verify compliance with specified performance levels. Additionally, it includes marking, packaging, and product information requirements to help users select appropriate lamps and ensure quality consistency in the market.
