General and safety requirementsIntroductionThis standard for interchangeable glow-starters for fluorescent lamps comprises two sections: Section 1 describes the general requirements with which glow-starters shall comply in order to ensure safety, and
28、 Section 2 covers the requirements for performance.The additional requirements with which glow-starters for use in class II luminaires shall comply are specified in Annex B.1 ScopeThis standard specifies interchangeable glow-starters used with pre-heat type fluorescent lamps, hereafter called “start
29、ers”.Section 1 specifies the general and safety requirements with which starters shall comply.Section 2 specifies the performance.NOTE Starters are generally designed to operate with a range of lamps, depending on supply voltage, single lamp or series pair operation, maximum lamp voltage and lamp st

40、ded.If this requirement is marked in the form of a lamp wattage range, the marking shall:i) either include all the standardized wattages within that range in IEC 81 or 901; orii) indicate departures from that range either on the packaging material or in catalogues published by the manufacturer;d) te
41、mperature range for which the starter is intended to be used, if applicable.6.2 Other useful indications, for example the circuit for which the starter is intended and, in some cases, the rated voltage of the starter, shall either be marked on the starter, or be referred to in the manufacturers publ
42、ications.If applicable, the information shall be given that the starter is equipped with means of operating time limitation.6.3 Marking shall be indelible and easily legible.

In addition, for starters with operating time limitations, five starters shall be submitted to the test specified in 7.13.7.
44、2 Conditions of acceptanceThe type shall be considered as satisfying the requirements of this subclause if all five starters comply with the tests specified in 7.3 to 7.11 and in 7.12.1 and if applicable, 7.13, and if all 10 capacitors comply with the tests specified in 7.12.2 and 7.12.3.If any fail
45、ures occur during a test, that test and the preceding ones, which may have influenced the results of that test, are repeated on a further five starters, all of which shall then comply with the repeated tests.All 10 starter capacitors submitted to the tests specified in 7.12.2 and 7.12.3 shall pass t

If any failure occurs during these tests, they shall be 7.3 Protection against accidental electric shocksEnclosures for interchangeable starters shall ensure protection against electric shocks. Protection may be ensured either by an insulating enclosure, by an appropriate non-metallic lini
