scope:

This document specifies safety requirements for electronic controlgear for use on AC supplies at 50 Hz or 60 Hz up to 1 000 V and/or DC supplies up to 1 000 V. The type of controlgear is a convertor that may contain igniting and stabilising elements for operation of a discharge lamp at DC or at a frequency that can deviate from the supply frequency. NOTE - Lamps associated with this type of controlgear are specified in IEC 60188 (High pressure mercury vapour lamps), IEC 60192 (Low pressure sodium vapour lamps), IEC 60662 (High pressure sodium vapour lamps), IEC 61167 (Metal halide lamps) and else for general purpose lighting. Controlgear for fluorescent lamps and for lamps for special applications like for theatre and for vehicles are excluded.
