4.3 Lights can be classified into light-output non-adjustable lights (hereinafter referred to as "non-adjustable lights") and light-output adjustable lights (hereinafter referred to as "adjustable lights").

NOTE: Light-output adjustable lights might be dynamic dimming.

4.4 White lights can be classified into color-temperature non-adjustable lights and color-temperature adjustable lights.

4.5 Color lights can be classified into color non-adjustable lights and color adjustable lights.

NOTE: Color adjustable lights might be dynamic coloring.

5 General requirements

5.1 Lights shall meet safety requirements and electromagnetic compatibility requirements specified in IEC 60598-2-5:2015, GB/T 17743, GB 17625.1 and GB/T 18595.

5.2 Lights shall provide claimed functions and achieve claimed performances under rated conditions.

6 General test requirements and conditions

6.1 General test requirements

6.1.1 All tests in this Standard are type tests.

6.1.2 All samples that each test item specifies number of samples shall meet requirements of this Standard. In order to shorten test time, producer (manufacturer) or responsible seller can additionally submit lights or light components that have same material and same design with lights under test.

The premise is that test results are same as those on same lights.

6.2 General test conditions

6.2.1 This Standard follows test conditions for photoelectric characteristics of lights given in Annex A of GB/T 31897.201-2016.

6.2.2 Burn-in time before testing is 0h or burn-in time is not less than 500h that is put forward by manufacturer.

- replacement method.

7 Technical requirements

7.1.2.3 Rated luminous flux or rated luminous flux at maximum input power (such as dimming and coloring lights and dynamic dimming and coloring lights).

7.1.2.4 For color lights, following information shall be provided:

- about initial rated color coordinate value, for dynamic coloring and (or) dynamic coloring lights, it shall mark rated color coordinate value under maximum rated input power;

- for color lights of which color remains unchanged, it shall indicate light color, for example, green light or red light.

7.1.2.5 For white lights, following information shall be provided:

- rated correlated color temperature (CCT, K) and claimed color tolerance.

For lights that color temperature is adjustable, it shall claim that one or more color temperature values required by color tolerance can be met;

- rated color rendering index Ra and R9. For lights that color temperature is adjustable, if color rendering index changes with color temperature, it needs to indicate color rendering index corresponding to correlated color temperature.

7.1.2.6 It shall provide beam spread or one half-peak divergence, peak light intensity and light intensity distribution map of lights.

7.1.2.7 Use lights of control device of independent light that is separated from light source chamber.

Spot angle of laser spot of laser sighting device falling on wall shall not exceed 6 mrad.

Place light exit surface of lights facing the wall. Light exit surface is 3m away from wall surface. Keep lights in a freely rotating state. Use angle positioning device to arbitrarily position on some rotation angle scale. Mark center position A of laser point on wall. Unlock positioning device. Rotate lights within entire adjustable range. Then make positioning device position once more. Do nothing else. Mark center position B of laser point. Measure AB spacing that shall not exceed 1cm. Respectively test in horizontal and vertical rotation directions.

8.4.2 Torsion resistance

Test according to 6.5 of IEC 60598-2-5:2015. After test, mark center position C of laser point. Distance between point A and point C in 8.4.1 shall not exceed 1cm.

8.5 Protection level of light enclosure

Visually inspect protection level of light mark's enclosure. After durability test of 12.3 in GB 7000.1-2015, carry out test specified in Clause 9 of GB 7000.1-2015 to inspect its compliance.

NOTE: Example needs to be tested is the case where IP rating verified in safety inspection report of lights is not IP65.

8.6 Salt-spray corrosion resistance

Carry out test according to provisions of GB/T 2423.17. Test period is 48h. […]
