CSA C22.2 NO. 1993:24 PDF

Preface 

This is the harmonized ANCE, CSA Group, and ULSE standard for Self-Ballasted Lamps and Lamp Adapters. It is the fourth edition of NMX-J-578/1-ANCE, the fourth edition of CSA C22.2 No. 1993, and the sixth edition of UL 1993. This edition of NMX-J-578/1-ANCE supersedes the previous edition published in 2017. This edition of CSA C22.2 No. 1993 supersedes the previous edition published in 2017. This edition of UL 1993 supersedes the previous edition published in 2017. This harmonized standard was prepared by the Association of Standardization and Certification (ANCE), CSA Group, and ULSE. The efforts and support of the Technical Harmonization Committee for Self-Ballasted Lamps, of the Council of the Harmonization of Electrotechnical Standards for the Nations of the Americas (CANENA), are gratefully acknowledged. This standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the standard. The present Mexican standard was developed by the CT 34 – Iluminación from the Comite de Normalizacion de la Asociacion de Normalizacion y Certificacion, A.C., CONANCE, with the collaboration of the lamps and ballasts manufacturers and users. This standard was reviewed by the CSA Integrated Committee on Lighting Products, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Consumer and Commercial Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the CSA 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 

1.1 These requirements are intended to cover both self-ballasted lamps and self-ballasted lamp adapters rated 120 to 347 V AC nominal for connection to screw-base, pin-base, or recessed single contact (RSC or R7) lampholders. These devices are intended for use in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1, in non-hazardous locations, and the Instalaciones Eléctricas (utilización), NOM-001-SEDE. 

1.2 These devices incorporate resistance, reactance, or electronic (solid-state) type ballasts or power supplies. These devices employ various lamp technologies including, but not limited to, incandescent, fluorescent, high-intensity discharge lamps, light-emitting diodes. 

1.3 These requirements also include Supplemental Requirements for Light-Emitting Diodes (LED), Annex A, for: a) Self-contained LED lamps, rated 120 to 347 V AC nominal for connection to screw-, pin-base, and recessed single contact (RSC or R7) lampholders, b) Lamps for replacement of an ANSI standardized fluorescent lamp, and consisting of lightemitting-diode (LED) lamp technologies, with control circuitry, and a driver or power supply. The LED driver and control circuitry will be either integral with the lamp or remote from the lamp, and c) Component LED lamps, with or without control circuitry, an ANSI base other than bases mentioned in (a), for connection to LED driver having a low voltage output, such as replacement for tungsten-halogen, MR11 and MR16 shaped lamps. 

1.4 This standard does not apply to medium-to-medium base (E26) fittings that incorporate controls such as photocells, motion detectors, radio controls, or dimmers covered by other standards. 

1.5 These devices are not intended for use with emergency exit fixtures or emergency exit lights. 

1.6 Self-ballasted lamps that emit electromagnetic energy (light) outside the 400 – 700 nm range shall additionally comply with Annex E.
