Foreword
This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1:1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents"
Drafting:
This document replaces GB 16843-2008 "Safety Requirements for Single-ended Fluorescent Lamps": Compared with GB 16843-2008, except for structural adjustments and compilation
In addition to editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows:
--- Added "This document also specifies photobiological safety requirements based on IEC 62471" (see Chapter 1);
---Added Table 1 (see Chapter 1);
---Added terms such as "nominal value", "rated value", "SoS value" and "effective ultraviolet radiation power ratio" (see Chapter 3);
---Added Figure 1 (see 4:9);
---Added "ultraviolet radiation" (see 4:11);
---Added "Lamp Holder Design Information" (see 4:14);
--- Added tests for GU10q, GZ10q and 2GX13 lamp holders in the test to evaluate the structure and assembly of the lamp holder (see Appendix A);
---Changed the bending moment applied to the lamp tube or lamp holder when conducting lamp holder structure and assembly assessment tests on unused lamps (A:2:1,:2008
version A:2:1);
--- Added requirements for the bending moment that the lamp head should be able to withstand (see A:2:2);
---Added "lamp head maximum temperature rise test" (see B:1:3);
---Deleted the requirement that "the lamp should be a specially prepared deactivated finished lamp, that is, without cathode emitting material" (see the:2008 version
B:1:2);
---Added the maximum temperature rise of the lamp holder and special tests for lamp holders 2G8, 2GX11, GR14q, and GZ24 in the test methods (see B:2);
--- Added regulations on the maximum temperature of lamp holders for lamps with built-in or external starters and lamps without starters in the lamp design information:
(See C:2);
--- Added regulations for lamp holder temperature (see C:3:2);
---Added 2GX11, GY10q, GZ24q, 2GX13, 2G8, GU10q, GZ10q and GR14q lamp holder cathode connection methods
(See Appendix E);
--- Added a description of the maximum current of lamps with built-in or external starters and lamps without starters (see F:1);
---Added "non-interchangeability requirements for lamps" (see F:2);
---Added "discharge current safety limit", "SoS safety limit" and "maximum rated power of the lamp" in Table F:1 (see Appendix F):
This document is equivalent to IEC 61199:2014 "Safety Specification for Single-ended Fluorescent Lamps":
This document has made the following minimal editorial changes:
---Added notes to Table F:1 and Figure G:1:

1 Scope
This document specifies the safety requirements for single-ended fluorescent lamps for general lighting using the lamp bases listed in Table 1:
This document specifies the manufacturer's overall product evaluation results, based on inspection records of finished lamps, demonstrating that his product complies with this document:
specific methods required: This method is also used for product certification: This document establishes in detail the batch inspection procedures, which make limited
Evaluate:
This document also specifies the photobiological safety requirements according to IEC 62471:
Blue light and infrared hazards are below the levels required for labeling:
Note: The qualification conditions of this document only involve safety indicators and do not consider the performance of single-ended fluorescent lamps for general lighting, such as luminous flux, color, start-up and operating characteristics:
Information on the performance of single-ended fluorescent lamps for general lighting is found in IEC 60901:
