c) introduction of requirements for lamp equivalency claims, switching withstand, starting time;
d) low temperature, run up time, treatment of claims for different operating conditions;
e) enhanced assessment and compliance criteria especially for lifetime;
f) introduction in-rush test conditions and displacement factor.
The contents of the corrigendum of January 2017 have been included in this copy.

Specifies the performance requirements for single-capped fluorescent lamps for general lighting service. The requirements of this standard relate only to type testing. Conditions of compliance, including methods of statistical assessment, are under consideration. This consolidated version consists of the second edition (1996), its amendment 1 (1997) and its amendment 2 (2000). Therefore, no need to order amendments in addition to this publication.

IEC 60810:2017+A1:2019 is applicable to filament lamps, discharge lamps, LED light sources and LED packages to be used in road vehicles, i.e. in headlamps, fog-lamps, signalling lamps and interior lighting. It is especially applicable to those lamps and light sources which are listed in IEC 60809.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2014 and Amendment 1:2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- update and clarification of the title and scope;
- introduction of new LED light sources;
- introduction of requirements for LED light sources;
- introduction of guidelines on LED package robustness validation for LED packages. This consolidated version consists of the fifth edition (2017) and its amendment 1 (2019). Therefore, no need to order amendment in addition to this publication.

IEC 60809:2021 is applicable to electric light sources for use in automotive applications, for example in road illumination devices and/or light signalling devices for road vehicles.
It is especially applicable to light sources listed in UN Resolution R.E.5 and light sources subject to other legislations.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2014, Amendment 1:2017, Amendment 2:2017 and Amendment 3:2019. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Introduction of a light technical measurement on LED light sources intended for use in front-lighting applications.
b) As the original data sheets and some figures from previous editions were not available in an editable format, they have been reproduced from their old format, following the current drafting rules and are now in single language format. Some reproductions constitute minor (obvious) editorial changes of the original text sections and original figures; no technical changes were introduced.

IEC 60662:2011 specifies performance requirements for high-pressure sodium vapour lamps for general lighting purposes which comply with the safety requirements of IEC 62035. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1980 and its amendments. It constitues a technical revision. Main items that required development of the 2nd edition of IEC 60662 are:
- restriction to performance requirements. Safety requirements are given in IEC 62035: Discharge lamps (excluding fluorescent lamps) - Safety specifications;
- introduction of a test device for ignition;
- split of the lamp data sheets which make use of the test device and those which do not;
- provisions for measurement during starting, measurement of electrical and photometrical characteristics and tests for lumen maintenance and life;
- general review e.g. of maximum lamp outlines and alignment of data;
- new order of data sheets by wattage.

This International Standard comprises maximum lamp outlines for incadescent lamps (including tungsten-halogen lamps). This consolidated version consists of the second edition (1994), its amendment 1 (1997), its amendment 2 (1998), its amendment 3 (1999), its amendment 4 (2003) and its amendment 5 (2005). Therefore, no need to order amendments in addition to this publication.

IEC 60432-3:2012 specifies the safety requirements for single-capped and double-capped tungsten halogen lamps, having rated voltages of up to 250 V, used for the following applications:
- projection (including cinematograph and still projection),
- photographic (including studio),
- floodlighting,
- special purpose,
- general purpose,
- stage lighting.
This second edition of IEC 60432-3 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2002, Amendment 1 (2005) and Amendment 2 (2008). The main changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:
- adapting the cold fill pressure requirements and tests for self-shielded lamps to the state of the technology,
- introduction of requirements to fully cover photobiological safety according to IEC 62471.

IEC 60432-2:1999+A1:2005+A2:2012 specifies the safety and the related interchangeability requirements of tungsten halogen lamps for general lighting service. It covers those tungsten halogen lamps that are used as direct replacements for conventional tungsten filament lamps as well as new tungsten halogen lamps which have no correspondence in IEC 60432-1, but for which the safety and interchangeability requirements are treated by this standard in conjunction with IEC 60432-1. These tungsten halogen lamps have the following characteristics:
- rated wattage up to and including 250 W;
- rated voltage of 50 V to 250 V inclusive;
- caps B15d, B22d, E12, E14, E17, E26, E26d, E26/50x39, E27 or E27/51x39.
This standard shall be used in conjunction with IEC 60432-1. This consolidated version consists of the second edition (1999), its amendment 1 (2005) and its amendment 2 (2012). Therefore, no need to order amendments in addition to this publication.
