EN 61547 Equipment for General Lighting Purposes – EMC Immunity Requirements

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 61547 standard. EN 61547 applies to lighting equipment designed to be connected to a low-voltage electrical source or powered by a battery, such as lamps, auxiliaries, and luminaires covered by the IEC technical committee 34.

EN 61547 Equipment for General Lighting Purposes – EMC Immunity Requirements

Excluded from the scope of this standard is equipment for which immunity requirements are formulated in other IEC or CISPR standards, such as:

  • Lighting equipment used in transport vehicles;
  • Entertainment lighting control equipment for professional purposes;
  • Lighting devices built into other equipment such as:
    • Scale illumination or indicators;
    • photocopiers;
    • Slide and overhead projectors;
    • Multimedia equipment.

However, in multifunctional equipment where the lighting part operates independently from other parts, the electromagnetic immunity requirements of this standard apply to the lighting part.

The requirements of this standard are based on the requirements of domestic, commercial and light industrial environments given in IEC 61000-6-1 but modified according to lighting engineering practice.

Lighting equipment conforming to the requirements of this standard can be expected to operate satisfactorily in other environments. In some special cases, measures need to be taken to provide higher immunity. Dealing with all these possibilities is impractical. Such requirements may be determined by contractual agreement between the supplier and the buyer.
