IEC 61347-2-7:2006

This part of IEC 61347 specifies particular safety requirements for d.c. supplied electronic ballasts for maintained and non-maintained emergency lighting purposes. It includes specific requirements for ballasts and control units for luminaires for emergency lighting as specified by IEC 60598-2-22. This first edition of IEC 61347-2-7, together with IEC 61347-1, cancels and replaces section six of the first edition of IEC 60924, published in 1990, and constitutes a minor revision. This standard shall be used in conjunction with IEC 61347-1. It was established on the basis of the first edition (2000) of that standard.

IEC 61347-2-7:2011 specifies particular safety requirements for battery supplied electronic controlgear for maintained and non-maintained emergency lighting purposes. It includes specific requirements for electronic controlgear and control units for self-contained luminaires for emergency lighting as specified by IEC 60598-2-22. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2006. It constitutes a technical revision. Significant changes introduced into this third edition include: - modification of IEC 61347-2-7 to become a standard exclusively for d.c. battery supplied electronic controlgear for emergency lighting (self-contained) IEC 61347-2-3 Annex J is intended to cover centrally supplied emergency controlgear; - update of Clause 22 - Recharging devices; - modification of Clause 20 battery voltage characterisation to support EBLF measurement. This to simplify and increase reproducibility of testing; - rationalisation of requirements between IEC 61347-2-7 and IEC 60598-2-22 requirements of IEC 60598-2-22 being transferred to IEC 61347-2-7. This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61347-1:2007.
