ČSN EN IEC 62722-2-1 ed. 2

This part of IEC 62722 specifies the performance requirements for LED luminaires, together with the test methods and conditions. It applies to LED luminaires for general lighting purposes. Semi-luminaires are not covered under the scope of this document. For some types of luminaires (e.g. decorative or household) the provision of performance data under the scope of this document is not appropriate. In this document, the following types of LED luminaires are distinguished. - Type A - Luminaires using LED modules where compliance with IEC 62717 is given. - Type B - Luminaires using LED modules where compliance with IEC 62717 is not given. Luminaires using an LED lamp are covered in IEC 62722-1 and are not within the scope of this docu-ment. The requirements of this document relate to type testing. This document covers LED luminaires using LED modules, based on inorganic LED technology that produces white light. It does not cover luminaires using light sources based on OLED technology (or-ganic LED technology). The lifetime of LED luminaires is in most cases much longer than the practical test times. Consequently, the verification of manufacturer's lifetime claims is out of the scope of this document. Instead of lifetime validation, this document has opted for lumen maintenance categories at a defined finite test time. Therefore, the category number does not imply a prediction of achievable lifetime. The categories are lumen-depreciation character categories showing behaviour in agreement with the ma-nufacturer's information which is provided before the test is started.
