[Current]Electric cables — Cross-linked polyethylene insulated — Aerial bundled — For working voltages up to and including 0.6/1(1.2) kV, Part 1: Aluminium conductors
Provides methods of measurement of ballast energy consumption and performance when used with associated fluorescent lamps as part of luminaires and applies to those covered within the scope of IEC 60081 and IEC 60901. The common methods practiced in major parts of the world, Europe in particular are prescribed in This Standard and relevant appendices. The tests specified are derived from EN 50294 with significant restructuring and modifications. The scope of this Standard excludes self-ballasted lamps and does not cover safety requirements.
