Overview
This standard specifies the safety requirements for discharge lamps (excluding fluorescent lamps) for general lighting purposes. The standard is applicable to low-pressure sodium vapour lamps and to high intensity discharge (HID) lamps, that is high-pressure mercury vapour lamps (including blended lamps), high-pressure sodium vapour lamps and metal halide lamps. It applies to single- and double-capped lamps, having caps as listed in annex A of the standard. Amendment A2 to IEC 62035:1999 essentially includes a containment testing procedure for metal halide lamps with quartz arc tubes (Annex I) and ceramic arc tubes (Annex J). The responsible committee is UK 521.1 "Elektrische Lampen" ("Electric lamps") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
