BS EN 62717:2017+A2:2019

What is BS EN 62717‒LED modules for general lighting about?  

This International Standard specifies the performance requirements for LED modules, together with the test methods and conditions, required to show compliance with this standard. The following types of LED modules are defined;

Type 1: Integrated LED Modules for use on d.c supplies up to 250V, or a.c supplies up to 1000V at 50 or 60Hz

Type 2: LED module operating with part of separate controlgear connected to the mains and having further control inside (semi-integrated) for operation under constant voltage, constant current, or constant power.

Type 3: LED modules where the complete controlgear is separate from the module (non-integrated) for operation under constant voltage, constant current, or constant power.

This standard covers LED modules based on inorganic technology that produce white light.

The requirements of this standard relate only to type testing. Instead of lifetime validation this standard has opted for lumen maintenance codes at a defined finite test time.
