UL answered the call by carefully

considering the needs of the manufacturers

and looked at the future market direction

and came up with an approach that offers

excellent flexibility to the Surface-mounted

luminaires.

The approach is a quick path to obtain

UL Certification for LED Surface-mounted

luminaires designs that incorporate the use

of bi-pin lampholders and LED tube lamps

as the light source. This approach to UL

Certification has been developed in response

to the increasing demand for these types of

LED luminaires in the marketplace and the

overwhelming interest from manufacturers

to build these types of Surface-mounted

luminaire at the factory.

LED tube lamps offer a convenient solution

to luminaire manufacturers that have

been in business for many years building

Surface-mounted fluorescent luminaires

that are designed to use T12, T8 and T5

fluorescent tube lamps. Through a very

simple manufacturing process, fluorescent

tube lamp luminaire designs can be

converted from fluorescent light source

UL Offers Quick Path to Obtain Listing for LED Surface- mounted Luminaires That Employ LED Tube LampsSurface-mounted luminaire manufacturers have been looking for ways to incorporate LED technology into existing luminaire designs.

The Sign Components Manual, also known

as the SAM, is applicable to manufacturers

covered under UL’s Listing and Follow-Up

Services for Electric Signs (UXYT/7) and

Field-Assembled Skeletal Neon Sign and

Outline Lighting Systems (UZBL/7), and for

use by UL Representatives performing UL

Follow-Up Service inspection.

This Manual authorizes manufacturers to

use certain UL Recognized Components,

Classified Components and other non-Listed

products*, when they are used under:

1. The conditions expressed for the

components in this Manual

2. The installation instructions for the

component

3. The requirements expressed in the

Follow-Up Service Procedure, the

associated Follow-Up and Inspection

Instructions (FUII Pages) and the UL

Standard for Electric Signs (UL 48).

The SAM supports UL’s General

Coverage Sign program by helping Sign

manufacturers locate and source sign

materials and components that have

already been tested by UL specifically for

use in electric signs. It includes components

for Neon, LED and an assortment of other

components commonly used in signs.

* Not covered by this manual, are non-Listed

component materials that do not

require additional authorization because

requirements regarding their suitability

and conditions of use are found in the UL

Standard for Electric Signs (UL 48). Some

examples are sheet metal, glass and

thermoplastic diffusers (except those used to

enclosure wiring and current-carrying parts).

UL continuously updates this manual

and makes the current version available.

Updated versions of this manual are

distributed periodically to all subscribers to

UL’s Listing Service and Follow-Up Services

SAM Manual 2014, Updates Now Available

By John Gallo / Product Safety Engineer

Obtain Listing for LED Luminaires (continued from cover)

technology to LED light source technology

using a UL Classified LED Retrofit Conversion

Kit of a type that includes either line voltage

connected LED tube lamps having internal

LED Drivers or, low voltage LED tube lamps

and a separate LED Driver. Through the

unique combination of the Surface-mounted

fluorescent tube lamp luminaire design and

the factory installation of a UL Classified LED

retrofit Conversion kit, there is no longer a

need to conduct a temperature test on the

final product. This is possible based on testing

previously conducted on the UL Classified

Retrofit Conversion Kit. Since there is no

need to conduct a temperature test, this

Surface-mounted luminaire type is eligible

for coverage under UL‘s General Coverage

program, similar to what is offered by UL for

Surface-mounted fluorescent luminaires that

use tube lamps and bi-pin lampholders.

This approach to UL Certification for LED

surface-mounted luminaires employing LED

tube lamps offers a unique cost effective

solution to luminaire manufacturers by

offering flexibility in product design and by

helping get products to market quickly.

We are working to implement the program as

quickly as possible and anticipate being able

to formally launch the Certification offering

by early Q2.

Updates to IEC 60598

After long work at the technical committee SC34D, the Final Draft (FDIS) of the 8th edition of the general standard for luminaires IEC 60598-1 has been released. The official publication of the standard is anticipated for release at the end of the first quarter of this year.

The milestone of the new standard was

made back to March 2010. The IEC standard

went through the development process

in parallel with the European organism

CENELEC. As usual as soon the standard

will be published all the luminaires

submitted for IEC CB scheme certification

shall be tested with the new edition of

the standard. CB certificates based on the

previous edition have to be updated as well.

While for the CENELEC version, there will be

a transition period of 36 months form the

Date of Publication of the EN standard.

The introduction of LED lighting technology

has required a series of modifications to

the luminaires standard for adapting the

problems of construction and problems

of the test. This new edition to the

standard contains about 43 amended

parts including:

• Changes more restrictive than the

previous standard

• Changes improvements or new

opportunities for construction

• Changes or corrections due to errors or

different interpretations

• Editorial changes (which have no impact

on the development of products)

The ANNEX R (Normative) of the standard

contains List of the amended paragraphs

that contain more stringent requirements /

criticism that require re-verification of the

products The list of items specified in this

Annex provides details of the requirements

of this new edition of IEC 60598-1 that

need to be considered when switching to

new standard or certification of the product

from the previous edition of IEC 60598-1

(including all variants). The tests may not be

necessary in all cases.

ANNEX R

• Clause 4.28: attachment of thermal

protection devices

• Clause 10.3: Touch current, protective

conductor current and electric burn

• Clause 12.5.2: Heating test (abnormal

conditions) for lighters marked tc + x

• Clause 3.2.12: Marking of earth terminals

• Clause 3.2.23, 4.24.2; retinal hazard due

to blue light

• Clause 3.3.22, 4:31: Isolation of circuits

• Clause 4.32 10.2: Protection Devices

against surge

• Clause 8.2.1, Annex M: Accessibility to

basic isolation

Among the requirement introduced the

most relevant is the newest related to the

assessment of retinal hazard due to blue

light (from LEDs) previously considered by

an IEC /OSM interpretation sheet.

Current Situation:

• No requirement on standard equipment

(IEC 60598-1 and 7)

• Application of IEC 62471 with the

risk groups:

- Tests carried out in 200 mm or 500 lux

- Markings according to IEC / TR 62471-2

New IEC / TR 62778 (IEC 60598-1: 201x)

For the assessment of risk from

photobiological light blue I was adopted the

requirements and principles of the IEC / TR

62778 remembering that:

• The purpose of the TR is to regulate the

requirements for the “blue light hazard”

• Measures to 500 lux do not give a

meaningful result in terms of hazard (the

distance between the eye and the source

could be lower).

• It ‘was necessary to define the parameters

that the constructor of the source must

provide the manufacturer of the device to

avoid repeating all the evidence.

• Purpose of this TR is to define the

threshold between RG1 and RG2 for all

sources. Threshold above which is required

marking of the product.

• The RG Group 2 is not considered

“dangerous”, even though it deserves

attention by the use of markings

(IEC 62471).

Other changes affect many other clauses,

some offer change improvements or

new opportunities for construction, thus

requirements are simplified.

Other updates address changes or

corrections due to errors or different

interpretation contained in the previous

edition of the standard.

Last, updates include introduced editorial

changes of the previous which have

no impact on the development of the

luminaires.
