BS EN 61199 is an international standard that discusses the safety of single-capped fluorescent lamps. A single-ended LED lamp is a lamp that has live and neutral pins on the same side of the lamp.
BS EN 61199 specifies the safety requirements for single-capped fluorescent lamps for general lighting purposes of all groups having caps according to Table 1. BS EN 61199 specifies the method a manufacturer should use to show compliance with the requirements of this standard based on whole production appraisal in association with his test records on finished products.
This method can also be applied for certification purposes. Details of a batch test procedure that can be used to make a limited assessment of batches are also given in BS EN 61199.
BS EN 61199 on single-capped fluorescent lamps for safety specifications applies to:
A single-capped fluorescent lamp is a low-pressure mercury discharge lamp having a single cap in which most of the light from the lamp is emitted by a layer of fluorescent material excited by the ultraviolet radiation from the discharge.
BS EN 61199 guides you on the safety and mechanical requirements for caps in which the cap is constructed and assembled to the tube that the whole assembly remains intact and attached during and after an operation. This helps you in ensuring the safety of caps that show no damage.
With BS EN 61199 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
