UNE-EN IEC 62442-1:2022

This part of IEC 62442 defines a measurement and calculation method of the total input

power for controlgear-lamp circuits when operating with their associated fluorescent lamp(s).

The calculation method for the efficiency of the lamp controlgear is also defined. This

document applies to electrical controlgear-lamp circuits consisting only of the controlgear and

the lamp(s). It is intended for use on DC supplies up to 1 000 V and/or AC supplies up to

1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz.

NOTE Requirements for testing individual controlgear during production are not included.

This document specifies the measurement method for the total input power and the

calculation method of the controlgear efficiency for all controlgear used for domestic and

normal commercial purposes operating with the following fluorescent lamps:

linear fluorescent lamps (IEC 60081);

single-ended (compact) fluorescent lamps (IEC 60901);

other general purpose low-pressure mercury fluorescent lamps.

This document does not apply to:

controlgear which form an integral part of the lamp;

controllable wire-wound magnetic controlgear;
