The horizontal requirement is transformed into a requirement for
31、self-ballasted lamps. The lamps within the scope of this standard are general lighting service (GLS) lamps according to the definition 3.11 in IEC 62471:2006. “.lamps intended for lighting spaces that are typically occupied or viewed by people.“. According to Clause 6 of IEC 62471:2006, radiation of
32、 GLS lamps is measured at a distance equivalent to 500 lx. Measured at the 500 lx distance, GLS lamps will not exceed risk group 1 for blue light hazard and risk group 0 for IR radiation. This combination of risk group and hazard does not require marking (Table 1 of IEC/TR 62471-2:2009). Hazards fro
33、m UV radiation of GLS lamps will be covered by Clause 14 of IEC 60968. Hence, IEC 62471 does not require any additional marking for GLS lamps.
