Preface:

This is the first edition of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 62560, Self-ballasted LED-lamps for general lighting services by voltage > 50 V – Safety specifications, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 62560 (edition 1:2011 consolidated with Amendment 1:2015). It is one in a series of Standards issued by CSA Group under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code.

This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

Scope:

This International Standard specifies the safety and interchangeability requirements, together with the test methods and conditions required to show compliance of LED-lamps with integrated means for stable operation (self-ballasted LED-lamps), intended for domestic and similar general lighting purposes, having:

• a rated wattage up to 60 W;
• a rated voltage of > 50 V up to 250 V;
• caps according to Table 1.

The requirements of this standard relate only to type testing.

Recommendations for whole product testing or batch testing are identical to those given in Annex C of IEC 62031.

NOTE 1 Where in this standard the term "lamp(s)" is used, it is understood to stand for "self-ballasted LEDlamp(s)", except where it is obviously assigned to other types of lamps.

NOTE 2 This standard includes photobiological safety.
