CSA Preface 

This is the second edition of CSA E61347-1, Lamp controlgear — Part 1: General and safety requirements, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 61347-1 (edition 3:2015 consolidated with Amendment 1:2017). It supersedes the previous edition, published in 2003 as CAN/CSA-E61347-1 (adopted IEC 61347-1:2000). For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as "CSA E61347-1" throughout. The major differences between this edition and the previous edition include • updates in accordance with IEC 61347-1, Edition 3.1; and • updates in accordance with the latest Canadian requirements. This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard. This Standard was reviewed for Canadian adoption by the CSA Integrated Committee on Lighting Products, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on International Standards and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. Scope This part of IEC 61347 specifies general and safety requirements for lamp controlgear for use on d.c. supplies up to 1 000 V and/or a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. This standard also covers lamp controlgear for lamps which are not yet standardized. Tests dealt with in this standard are type tests. Requirements for testing individual lamp controlgear during production are not included. Requirements for semi-luminaires are given in IEC 60598-1:2014 (see definition 1.2.60). Particular requirements for controlgears providing safety extra low voltage (from now on SELV) are given in Annex L. It can be expected that lamp control gear which comply with this standard will not compromise safety between 90 % and 110 % of their rated supply voltage in independent use and when operated in luminaires complying with the safety standard IEC 60598-1 and the relevant part IEC 60598-2-xx and with lamps complying with the relevant lamp standards. Performance requirements may require tighter limits.
