 Foreword  
Development of the East African Standards has been necessitated by the need for harmonizing requirements 
governing quality of products and services in the East African Community. It is envisaged that through 
harmonized standardization, trade barriers that are encountered when goods and services are exchanged within 
the Community will be removed.  
The Community has established an East African Standards Committee  (EASC)  mandated to develop and issue 
East African Standards  (EAS) . The Committee is composed of r epresentatives of the National Standards Bodies 
in Partner States, together with the representatives from the public and private sector organizations  in the 
community .  
East African Standards are developed through  Technical Committees that are representati ve of key 
stakeholders including government, academia, consumer groups, private sector and other interested parties. 
Draft East African Standards are circulated to stakeholders through the National Standards Bodies in the Partner 
States. The comments recei ved are discussed and incorporated before finalization of standards, in accordance 
with the Principles and procedures for development of East African Standards. . 
East African Standards are subject to review, to keep pace with technological advances. Users of the East 
African Standards are therefore expected to ensure that they always have the latest versions of the standards 
they are implementing .  
The committee responsible for this document is Technical Committee EASC/TC 051 Electrical Installation and 
Lighting.  
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be subject of patent rights. 
EAC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

quantifies the displacement (phase -shift) between the fundamental current and voltage waveforms by 
calculating the cosine of the phase -shift angle  (Cos ϕ1). Displacement factor is a more detailed measure to 
quan tify the displacement of the current and its effect on the power supply network.  
3.15 
endurance test: (also called a supply switching test)

to stress the lamp over a period of time to help determine the failure rates and luminous flux maintenance of 
that product.

metric for flicker used in this Standard is the ‘ PstLM’ , where ‘st’ stands for short term and ‘LM’ for light flicker 
meter  method, as defined in standards. A value of PstLM =1 means that the average observer has a 50%

8 Requirements for applicant  
8.1 With respect to the performance requirements ( Clause  6), the following evidence shall be submitted to 
the national regulatory authority as proof of conformity with the requirements of this standard:  
i) A completed application form as specified in Annex B or a similar form as required by the national 
regulatory authority ; 
ii) Evidence of conformity to requirements set out in Clause  6 - A valid test report issued by a 
laboratory  appropriately accredited by an  internationally recognised  body being a member of an 
IAF/ILAC/IECEE mutual recognition scheme in accordance with the country’s conformity 
assessment policy ; and  
iii) Other documents as required by the national regulatory authority ; 
8.2 The applicant shall ensur e that each model of the lighting product has been approved and successfully 
registered by the relevant regional or national regulatory authority before offering it for sale, or import, or supply 
in accordance with the requirements set out in the relevant regulations.  
8.3 Evidence of conformity which is deemed unacceptable includes, for example, self -certification reports, 
declaration of one product being applied to another, data sheets withou t valid test reports and so on.  Only valid 
test reports will be accepted as evidence of compliance to the requirements of covered products.  DEAS  1064 -1: 2021

 8.4 The applicant shall inform the regulatory authority of any change in design or materials affecting any 
mandatory requirement in terms of this s tandard  for any product, even within a family of products.  In the event 
of such change(s) the regulatory authority may, at its discretion, demand that the applicant submits a new 
application for approval.  
8.5  
The applicant shall, on request, provide the regulatory authority with proof of compliance in respect of any model 
of lighting product included in the scope of this standard. Failure to provide such proof shall constitute 
reasonable grounds for suspicion of non -compliance with the requirements of thi s mandatory regulation of the 
product . DEAS  1064 -1: 2021

 Annex  A 
(normative)  
 
Lifetime and endurance test  
A.1 General  
Light sources shall undergo a switching cycle endurance testing to verify their luminous flux maintenance factor 
and survival factor. This endurance testing  consists of the test method outlined below for LED and OLED light 
sources:  
A.2 Ambient conditions and test setup  
A.2.1 The switching cycles are to be conducted in a room with an ambient temperature of 25°C ± 10°C and  
an average air velocity of less than 0 .2 m/s . 
A.2.2 The switching cycles on the sample shall be conducted in free air in a vertical base -up position. 
However, if a supplier has declared the light source is suitable for use in a specific orientation only, then the 
sample shall be mounted in that orientation . 
A.2.3 The applied voltage during the switching cycles shall have a tolerance within 2  %. The total harmonic 
content of the supply voltage shall not exceed 3  %. Standards provide guidance on the supply voltage source.  
A.3 Provisional endur ance test method  
A.3.1 Initial flux measurement: measure the luminous flux of the light source prior to starting the endurance 
test switching cycle . 
A.3.2 Switching cycles: operate the light source for 1200 cycles of repeated, continuous switching cycles 
without interruption. One complete switching cycle consists of 150 min of the light source switched on at full 
power followed by 30 min of the light source switched off. The hours of operation recorded (i.e., 3000 h) include 
only the periods of the switchin g cycle when the light source was switched on, i.e. the total test time is 3600 h . 
A.3.3 Final flux measurement: at the end of the 1200 switching cycles, note if any lamps have failed (see 
‘Survival Factor’ requirements in Clause  6.2.5)  and measure the lum inous flux of the light sources that have not 
failed . 
A.3.4 For each of the units in the sample which have not failed, divide the measured final flux by the measured 
initial flux. The arithmetical mean of the resulting values of all the units that did not fail provides the determined 
value for the luminous flux maintenance factor X LMF%. DEAS  1064 -1: 2021
