Preface

This is the harmonized ANCE, CSA Group, and UL Standard for Self-Ballasted Lamps and Lamp Adapters. It is the second edition of NMX-J-578/1-ANCE, the second edition of CSA C22.2 No. 1993, and the fourth edition of UL 1993. This edition of CSA C22.2 No. 1993 replaces the Technical Information Letter TIL No. B-36B “Self-Ballasted Fluorescent Lamps with Medium Screw-Base and Integral-Ballasted Adapters with Medium Screw-Base for Fluorescent Lamps.” This edition of UL 1993 supersedes the previous edition published in 2009.

The end-of-lamp-life tests for fluorescent lamp adapters material is reproduced from IEC 61347-2-3 with permission of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) on behalf of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). No part of this material may be copied or reproduced in any form, electronic retrieval system or otherwise or made available on the Internet, a public network, by satellite or otherwise without the prior written consent of the American National Standards Institute.

This standard contains information copyright protected by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The end-of-lamp-life tests for fluorescent lamp adapters material is reproduced from IEC 61347-2-3 with permission from the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) in Canada on behalf of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Except as permitted under the laws of Canada, no extract of the International Standard may be reproduced, stored in any retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, photocopying, recording, or otherwise, without prior permission from the Standards Council of Canada (SCC).

This harmonized standard was prepared by the Association of Standardization and Certification (ANCE), the CSA Group, and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). The efforts and support of the Technical Harmonization Committee for Self-Ballasted Lamps, of the Council of the Harmonization of Electrotechnical Standards for the Nations of the Americas (CANENA), are gratefully acknowledged.

This standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the standard.

This standard was reviewed by the CSA Subcommittee on Lighting Products, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Consumer and Commercial Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the CSA Technical Committee.

In Canada, for general information on the Standards of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part II, see the preface to CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 0.

This standard has been approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as an American National Standard.

A UL standard is current only if it incorporates the most recently adopted revisions, all of which are itemized on the transmittal notice that accompanies the latest set of revised requirements.

NOTE Although the intended primary application of this standard is stated in its scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose.

Level of harmonization

This standard is published as an equivalent standard for CSA Group and UL and a proposed equivalent standard for ANCE. An equivalent standard is a standard that is substantially the same in technical content, except as follows. Technical national differences are allowed for codes and governmental regulations as well as those recognized as being in accordance with NAFTA Article 905, for example, because of fundamental climatic, geographical, technological, or infrastructural factors, scientific justification, or the level of protection that the country considers appropriate. Presentation is word for word except for editorial changes.

Interpretations

The interpretation by the standards development organization of an identical or equivalent standard is based on the literal text to determine compliance with the standard in accordance with the procedural rules of the standards development organization. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has been identified, a revision is to be proposed as soon as possible to each of the standards development organizations to more accurately reflect the intent.

ANCE effective date

The effective date for ANCE will be announced through the Diario Oficial de la Federation (Official Gazette).

CSA Group effective date

The effective date for CSA Group will be announced through CSA Informs or a CSA Group Certification Notice.

UL effective date

As of December 4, 2012, all products Listed or Recognized by UL must comply with the requirements in this standard except for clauses, figures, and tables in the following list, which are effective December 4, 2015.

Clause 6.4.6.

Between December 4, 2012 and December 4, 2015, new product submittals to UL may be evaluated under all requirements in this standard or, if requested in writing, evaluated under presently effective requirements only. The presently effective requirements are contained in the Third Edition of UL 1993.

A UL effective date is one established by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and is not part of the ANSI approved standard.

DECEMBER 4, 2012 NMX-J-578/1-ANCE  CSA C22.2 NO. 1993-12  UL 1993 11

1. Scope

   
   

   1. These requirements are intended to cover both self-ballasted lamps and self-ballasted lamp adapters rated 120 to 347 V AC nominal for connection to screw-base, pin-base, or recessed single contact (RSC or R7) lampholders. These devices are intended for use in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, in non-hazardous locations, and the Instalaciones Eléctricas (utilización), NOM-001-SEDE.

      
      

   2. These devices incorporate resistance, reactance, or electronic (solid-state) type ballasts or power supplies. These devices employ various lamp technologies including, but not limited to, incandescent, fluorescent, high-intensity discharge lamps, light-emitting diodes.

      
      

   3. These requirements also include Supplemental Requirements for Light-Emitting Diodes (LED), Supplement SA, for:

      
      

      1. Self-contained LED lamps, rated 120 to 347 V AC nominal for connection to screw-, pin- base, and recessed single contact (RSC or R7) lampholders,

         
         

      2. Lamps for replacement of an ANSI standardized fluorescent lamp, and consisting of light- emitting-diode (LED) lamp technologies, with control circuitry, and a driver or power supply. The LED driver and control circuitry will be either integral with the lamp or remote from the lamp, and

         
         

      3. Component LED lamps, with or without control circuitry, an ANSI base other than bases mentioned in (a), for connection to LED driver having a low voltage output, such as replacement for tungsten-halogen, MR11 and MR16 shaped lamps.

         
         

   4. This standard does not apply to medium-to-medium base (E26) fittings that incorporate controls such as photocells, motion detectors, radio controls, or dimmers covered by other standards.

      
      

   5. These devices are not intended for use with emergency exit fixtures or emergency exit lights.
