IS 16103 : Part 1 : 2012 : LED Modules for General Lighting Part 1 Safety Requirements

1. Scope

This standard (Part 1) specifies general and safety requirements for light-emitting diode (LED) modules:

a) LED modules without integral control gear for operation under constant voltage, constant current or constant power; and

b) Self-ballasted LED modules for use on d.c. supplies up to 250 V or a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz.

The performance requirements are given in a separate standard IS 16103 (Part 2) : 2012 ‘LED modules for general lighting : Part 2 Performance requirements’.

NOTES

1 The safety requirements for separate control gear are specified in IS 15885 (Part 2/Sec 13) : 2012 ‘Lamp Controlgear: Part 2 Particular requirements, Section 13 d.c. or a.c. supplied electronic control gear for LED modules’.

2 The performance requirements for separate control gear are specified in IS 16104 : 2012 ‘d.c. or a.c. supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules - Performance requirements’.

3 Requirements for LED modules with integrated control gear and equipped with a lamp cap (self-ballasted lamp), intended for mains voltage general lighting service retrofit applications (thereby replacing existing lamps with identical lamp caps) are specified in IS 16102 (Part 1) : 2012 ‘Self-ballasted LED lamps for general lighting services: Part 1 Safety requirements.

4 Requirements for LED modules with integrated control gear and equipped with a lamp cap (self-ballasted lamp), intended for non-mains voltage general lighting service retrofit applications (thereby replacing existing lamps with identical lamp caps) are under consideration.

5 Where in the requirements of this standard both types of LED modules, with and without integral control gear, are addressed, the word ‘modules’ is used instead. Where only the expression ‘LED module(s)’ is used, it is understood to refer to the type without integral control gear. An overview of systems composed of LED modules and control gear is given in Annex B.
