Hello Robert,
you could check into: IEC 60926:1995 + A1:1999 Auxiliaries for lamps ?
Starting devices (other than glow starters) ? General and safety
requirements.
There is currently a proposal under development to refer to this standard
in IEC 60950 to address safety requirements for high pressure lamps and
their circuitry to generate starting pulses.
mit freundlichen Gruessen/ best regards

Subject: IEC/EN Standard for Independent Lamp Control Gear
Group:
I need information on what standard covers an independent lamp control
device. This product is used in a commercial environment, has a data
interface to a computer and is used to turn fluorescent light fixtures on
and off (not dim). It is self-contained in its own enclosure and uses
electro-mechanical relays to provide mains power to a series of lights.
It was suggested by another forum subscriber that we look at EN60598-1
Luminaries. Unfortunately, in order to look at an EN standard, one
generally has to purchase them and they are not inexpensive.
To make a long story short, EN60598 only covers the light fixture itself,
not the device that is used to turn it on and off. After reviewing all of
the standards covered under the LVD in the OJEC, nothing jumps out and says
here I am.
The only standard I could find that might be applicable:
EN60669-2-2:1997 - Switches for household and similar fixed installations.
Section 2: Electromagnetic remote-control switches.
Can anyone say yes, you're right, or no, you're out in left field?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Robert Loop
