performance requirements for starting devices (starters and ignitors) for tubular fluorescent and other discharge lamps for use on a.c supplies up to 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz, which produce starting pulses not greater than kV This standard is used in conjunction with IEC 61347-1 and IEC 61347-2-1 NOTE All glow starters for fluorescent and other discharge lamps including thermal relay/cut-outs will be included in IEC 60155 NOTE There are regional standards regarding the regulation of EMC requirements for end-products like luminaires and independent control gear In a luminaire, the control gear is dominant in this respect Control gear, together with other components, should comply with these standards Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document For dated references, only the edition cited applies For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies IEC 60081,
