The International Electrotechnical Commission has published IEC 61547 Ed. 2.0 (2009-06) entitled “Equipment for general lightning purposes – EMC immunity requirements.” The standard’s requirements apply to lighting equipment that is within the scope of IEC Technical Committee 34, such as lamps, auxiliaries, and luminaires, intended either for connecting to low- voltage electricity supply or for battery operations. Excluded from the scope of this standard is equipment for which the immunity requirements are formulated in other IEC or CISPR standards. This revised standard updates reference to basic standards, a process that also required some editorial changes in the tables.For additional information, or to purchase this standard, go to the IEC website.
