scope:

This part of the International Standard specifies general requirements and a grid and a corresponding code for the colour binning of white LEDs emitting incoherent, visible radiation. It applies for LED packages. Other parts of this International Standard covering chromaticity of coloured LEDs, luminous flux/luminous intensity, colour rendering and forward voltage are in preparation or under consideration. Note 1 This International Standard does not apply for LED modules, LED lamps and LED luminaires. Note 2 Even though the words "white light" are used, the purpose of this International Standard is not to define "white light", but to specify a grid and a corresponding colour code for the colour binning of white LEDs emitting incoherent, visible radiation. The area covered by the grid may differ from the definition of white light given in other standards or regulations.
