National foreword
This British Standard is the official English language version of
EN 61347-2-11:2001. It is identical with IEC 61347-2-11:2001 including
Corrigendum 1:2001.

The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee
CPL/34, Lamps and related equipment, to Subcommittee CPL/34/3,
Auxilliaries, which has the responsibility to:
—

aid enquirers to understand the text;

—

present to the responsible European committee any enquiries on the
interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests
informed;

—

monitor related international and European developments and
promulgate them in the UK.

A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on
request to its secretary.
From 1 January 1997, all IEC publications have the number 60000 added to
the old number. For instance, IEC 27 has been renumbered as IEC 60027-1.
For a period of time during the change over from one numbering system to the
other, publications may contain identifiers from both systems.
Cross-references
The British Standards which implement these international or European
publications may be found in the BSI Standards Catalogue under the section
entitled “International Standards Correspondence Index”, or by using the
“Find” facility of the BSI Standards Electronic Catalogue.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of
a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct
application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.

This British Standard, having
been prepared under the
direction of the
Electrotechnical Sector Policy
and Strategy Committee, was
published under the authority
of the Standards Policy and
Strategy Committee on
7 March 2002

INTRODUCTION
This first edition of IEC 61347-2-11 is published in conjunction with IEC 61347-1. The
formatting into separately published parts provides for ease of future amendments and
revisions. Additional requirements will be added as and when a need for them is recognized.

Licensed Copy: HKPOLYU Library, HK Polytechnic Univ, 10 March 2003, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI

This standard, and the parts which make up IEC 61347-2, in referring to any of the clauses of

IEC 61347-1, specify the extent to which such a clause is applicable and the order in which
the tests are to be performed; they also include additional requirements, as necessary. All
parts which make up IEC 61347-2 are self-contained and, therefore, do not include references
to each other.
Where the requirements of any of the clauses of IEC 61347-1 are referred to in this standard
by the phrase "The requirements of clause n of IEC 61347-1 apply", this phrase is interpreted
as meaning that all requirements of the clause in question of part 1 apply, except any which
are clearly inapplicable to the specific type of lamp controlgear covered by this particular part
of IEC 61347-2.

LAMP CONTROLGEAR –
Part 2-11: Particular requirements for
miscellaneous electronic circuits used with luminaires

1

Scope

This part of IEC 61347 specifies general and safety requirements for miscellaneous electronic
circuits used with luminaires for use on a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz and/or

d.c. supplies up to 250 V. This part does not apply to circuits or devices for which specific IEC
standards are published.

Licensed Copy: HKPOLYU Library, HK Polytechnic Univ, 10 March 2003, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI

NOTE

Examples of miscellaneous electronic circuits used with luminaires are

–

electronic ballast control circuits;

–

switching circuits used in association with daylight and/or presence sensors;

–

circuits to assist EMC performance;

–

intermittence and similar devices used with lighting chains;

–

earth leakage or open-circuit protective devices used with neon transformers.
