New LED driver standard IEC 61347-2-13
From the 1st July 2009 all LED drivers need to adhere to the IEC 61347-2-13 safety standard which specifies particular safety requirements for electronic control gear for use on d.c. supplies up to 250 V and a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz and at an output frequency which can deviate from the supply frequency, associated with LED modules.
There are many improved requirements that this new standards brings to LED drivers however the most noticeable one will be the change required in the output connectors that connect the driver to the LED fixture. The majority of LED drivers use the RJ45 connector originally designed as network card connector in PC’s and these will need to be changed to double insulated type connectors if the maximum output voltage for a constant current driver is greater than 25Vdc.
IEC 61347 consists of the following parts, under the general title Lamp controlgear:
Part 1: General and safety requirements
Part 2-1: Particular requirements for starting devices (other than glow starters)
Part 2-2: Particular requirements for d.c. or a.c. supplied electronic step-down convertors
for filament lamps
Part 2-3: Particular requirements for a.c. supplied electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamps
Part 2-4: Particular requirements for d.c. supplied electronic ballasts for general lighting
Part 2-5: Particular requirements for d.c. supplied electronic ballasts for public transport
lighting
Part 2-6: Particular requirements for d.c. supplied electronic ballasts for aircraft lighting
Part 2-7: Particular requirements for d.c. supplied electronic ballasts for emergency lighting
Part 2-8: Particular requirements for ballasts for fluorescent lamps
Part 2-9: Particular requirements for ballasts for discharge lamps (excluding fluorescent
lamps)
Part 2-10: Particular requirements for electronic invertors and convertors for high-frequency
operation of cold start tubular discharge lamps (neon tubes)
Part 2-11: Particular requirements for miscellaneous electronic circuits used with luminaires
Part 2-12: Particular requirements for d.c. or a.c. supplied electronic ballasts for discharge
lamps (excluding fluorescent lamps)
Part 2-13: Particular requirements for d.c. or a.c. supplied electronic controlgear for LED
