DIN EN 61195:2015-10

This International Standard specifies the safety requirements for double-capped fluorescent lamps for general lighting purposes of all groups having Fa6, Fa8, G5, G13, 2G13 and R17d and W4.3x8,5d caps. It also specifies the method a manufacturer can use to show compliance with the requirements of the standard on the basis of whole production appraisal in association with his test records on finished products. This part of the standard covers the photobiological safety in accordance with IEC 62471 and IEC/TR 62471-2. Compliance with this standard concerns only safety criteria and does not take into account the performance of double-capped fluorescent lamps for general lighting purposes with respect to luminous flux, colour, starting and operational characteristics. Users are referred to IEC 60081 for such characteristics. The responsible committee is DKE/UK 521.1 "Elektrische Lampen" ("Electric lamps") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
