CSA Preface 

This is the second edition of CSA E61347-2-3, Lamp control gear — Part 2-3: Particular requirements for a.c. and/or d.c. supplied electronic control gear for fluorescent lamps, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 61347-2-3 (edition 2:2011 consolidated with Amendment 1:2016). It supersedes the previous edition, published in 2003 as CAN/CSA-E61347-2-3 (adopted IEC 61347-2-3:2000), Lamp controlgear — Part 2-3: Particular requirements for a.c. supplied electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamps. For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as "CSA E61347-2-3" throughout. The major differences between this edition and the previous edition include • updates in accordance with IEC 61347-2-3; and • updates in accordance with the latest Canadian requirements. This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with CSA E61347-1, Lamp controlgear — Part 1: General and safety requirements (adopted IEC 61347-1:2015, edition 3.1, with Canadian deviations). This Standard was reviewed for Canadian adoption by the CSA Integrated Committee on Lighting Products, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on International Standards and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. 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 part of IEC 61347 specifies particular safety requirements for electronic control gear for use on a.c. supplies at 50 Hz or 60 Hz up to 1 000 V and/or d.c. supplies up to 1 000 V with lamp operating frequencies deviating from the supply frequency, associated with fluorescent lamps as specified in IEC 60081 and IEC 60901, and other fluorescent lamps for high-frequency operation. Performance requirements are the subject of IEC 60929. Particular requirements for electronic control gear with means protection against overheating are given in Annex C. For emergency lighting operation, particular requirements for control gear operated from a central supply are given in Annex J. Performance requirements appropriate to the safe operation of emergency lighting are also contained in Annex J. Requirements for emergency lighting control gear operating from non-centralized power supplies are given in IEC 61347-2-7. 

NOTE Performance requirements detailed by Annex J are those considered to be safety-related with respect to reliable emergency operation.
