LED modules for general lighting - Safety specifications

IEC 62031:2018 specifies general and safety requirements for light-emitting diode (LED) modules: - non-integrated LED modules (LEDni modules) and semi-integrated LED modules (LEDsi modules) for operation under constant voltage, constant current or constant power; - Integrated LED modules (LEDi modules) for use on DC supplies up to 250 V or AC supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2008, Amendment 1:2012 and Amendment 2:2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a. the scope was clarified as well as the wording in several other clauses; b. the normative references were updated; c. the definitions for "replaceable LED module", "non-replaceable LED module" and "non-user replaceable LED module" were introduced while other definitions covered by IEC 62504 have been removed; d. the marking clause was restructured and a table added to provide an informative overview; e. the marking requirements for built-in LED modules were changed; f. the entry for the marking with the working voltage was revised; g. the provisions for terminals and heat management were revised; h. Annex B was deleted; i. information for luminaire design with regard to working voltage and water contact was introduced; j. an abnormal temperature test was introduced.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:

  • mandatory clauses to satisfy,
  • non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document "ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents" as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.

With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!
