GB 20053-2015Minimum allowable values of energy efficiency and energy efficiency grades for ballasts of metal-halide lamps (English PDF)

Foreword

In this Standard, 4.3 is mandatory; the remaining clauses are recommended.

This Standard was drafted in accordance with the rules in GB/T 1.1-2009.

This Standard serves as a replacement of GB 20053-2006 The Minimum Allowable

Values of Energy Efficiency and the Energy Efficiency Grades for Ballast of Metal-

halide Lamps. In comparison with GB 20053-2006, apart from editorial modifications,

there are several main technical changes as follows:

---The scope of application adds: 20 W ~ 150 W ballasts of metal-halide lamps

(see Chapter 2);

---Energy efficiency evaluation index is modified from the previous "ballast energy

efficiency factor" into "ballast efficiency", which is stipulated by the existing

international standards (see 4.2);

---The valuing method of energy efficiency grades of nominal power lamps that

are not listed in the table is stipulated (see 4.2);

---In terms of ballasts equipped with automatic control, the evaluation index of

standby power consumption is added (see 4.5);

---The testing method and energy efficiency calculation method of electronic

ballasts are added (see 5.3).

This Standard was proposed by Department of Resource Conservation and

Environmental Protection of National Development and Reform Commission;

Department of Energy Conservation and Comprehensive Utilization of Ministry of

Industry and Information Technology.

This Standard shall be under the jurisdiction of National Technical Committee 20 on

Energy Fundamentals and Management of Standardization Administration of China

(SAC/TC 20).
