2. Terms  and definitions  
 
For the purpose  of this document,  the following  terms  and definitions shall  apply.  
 
2.1 General  
General Lighting : the full or partial illumination of an area, by replacing or complementing  
natural  light with artificial  light in order  to enhance  visibility in  that area.  
 
Homogeneous  materials : means  one material  of uniform  composition  throughout,  or a 
material consisting of a combination of materials that cannot be disjointed or separated into  
different materials by mechanical actions such as unscrewing, cutting, crushing, grinding and  
abrasive  processes.  
 
Manufacturer : means  the natural  or legal  person  who manufactures  products covered  by this 
Standard and  is responsible for  their conformity  with this  Standard  in view  of their being  
placed  on the market  and/or  put into service  under  the manufacturer’s  own name or  
trademark or for the manufacturer’s own use. In the absence of a manufacturer as defined in  
the first sentence of  this point  or of an importer,  any natural or legal  person who  places  on the 
market  and/or puts  into service  products  covered by  this Standard  shall  be considered  a 
manufacturer.  
 
Product : an equipment, system or part which is included in the list of regulated products  
under  this Standard.  
 
Standard : refers directly to this Standard - “Kuwaiti  Standard for Lighting Products Part  1”. 
 
2.2 Technical  
 
Ballast : means  lamp control  gear inserted  between  the supply and one  or more  discharge  
lamps  which  by means of  inductan ce, capacitance or  a combination  of inductance  and 
capacitance, serves mainly to  limit the current  of the lamp(s)  to the  required  value.  
 
Beam  angle : means  the angle  between two  imaginary lines  in a plane through  the optical  
beam  axis,  such that  these  lines  pass  through the  center  of the front face  of the lamp and  
through  points at  which the  luminous  intensity  is 50  % of the center  beam  intensity,  where the  
center  beam intensity is  the value  of luminous intensity measured on  the optical  beam  axis.  
 
Chromaticity : means the  property of  a color  stimulus  defined  by its chromaticity  
coordinates,  or by its dominant  or complementary wavelength  and purity  taken  together.  7  
  
 
 
Color consistency: means the maximum deviation of chromaticity coordinates (x and y) of a  
single  lamp  from a  chromaticity center point  (cx and cy), expressed  as the size (in steps)  of 
the MacAdam  ellipse formed  around  the chromaticity center point  (cx and cy).  MacAdam  
ellipses refer to the regions (in the  form of an ellipse) on a chromaticity diagram which contain  
all colors  that are indistinguishable to the  average  human  eye from the  color  at the  center  of 
the ellipse.  
 
Color rendering (Ra) : means the effect of an illuminant on the color appearance of objects  
by conscious  or subconscious  comparison  with their color  appearance  under  a reference  
illuminant.  
 
Compact fluorescent lamp with integrated ballast (CFLi) : means a fluorescent lamp that  
includes  all components necessary  for starting  and stable  operation  of the lamp.  
 
Components and sub -assemblies : means parts intended to be incorporated into products  
which are not placed on the market and/or put into service as individual parts for end - users  
or the environmental  performance  of which  cannot  be assessed  independently.  
 
Control device : means an electronic or mechanical device controlling or monitoring the  
luminous flux of  the lamp  by other  means than  power  conversion  for the lamp,  such as timer  
switches, occupancy sensors and daylight standard devices. In addition, phase cut dimmers  
shall  also be considered  as control  devices.  
 
Correction  factor : any mathematical  adjustment  made to a calculation  to account  for 
deviations in  either the  sample or  the method  of measurement.  Specifically for  this Standard,  
the correction  is needed to  be able  to apply one formula  for different  lamp  types.  The efficacy  
(lumens  per watt)  of a certain  lamp  type can be described  by a certain  formula.  There  are 
however  systematic differences that  require  a correction.  As an example,  some  customers  
have  a strong  preference  for lamps  with an outer  bulb as these resemble  covered  
incandescent  lamps best.  Such  lamps  are made  with an  additional outer  bulb which is  placed  
over the light generating part.  The shape  of the efficacy curve  is not changed  by this  outer  
bulb,  but because  it absorbs  part of the emitted  light,  the formula  needs to  be corrected  for the 
additional  light loss.  
 
Correlated color temperature (Tc [K]) : a specification of the color appearance of the light  
emitted  by a lamp,  relating  its color  to the  color  of light from  a reference source when  heated  
to a particular  temperature,  measured  in degrees  Kelvin  (K). More  specifically,  it is the  
absolute  temperature  of a blackbody  whose  chromaticity most nearly  resembles that of  the 
light source.  A black  body is  an idealized  physical  body  that absorbs all  incident  
electromagnetic radiation,  regardless of  frequency  or angle  of incidence.  
 
Direct  Lamp : a lamp having  at least  80%  light output within  a solid  angle  of πsr 
corresponding  to a cone  with an angle  of 120˚.  
 
Discharge lamp : means a lamp in which the light is produced, directly or indirectly, by an  
electric  discharge through  a gas,  a metal  vapour  or a mixture of  several  gases  and vapors.  
 
External  lamp control -gear : means  non-integrated  lamp control  gear  designed to  be 
installed outside the enclosure of a lamp or luminaire, or to be removed from the enclosure  
without  permanently  damaging  the lamp  or the luminaire.  
 
Filament lamp : means a lamp in which light is produced by means of a threadlike conductor  
which  is heated to  incandescence  by the  passage  of an electric  current.  The lamp  may 
contain gases  influencing  the process  of incandescence.  8  
  
 
 
 
 
Initial luminous flux : means the luminous flux of a lamp after a short operating period  
according  to the applicable  standard.  
 
Lamp : means a unit emitting light, whose performance can be assessed independently, and  
which consists  of one or  more  light sources. It may include additional components  necessary  
for starting,  power  supply or  stable  operation  of the unit or for distributing,  filtering or  
transforming  the optical radiation,  in cases  where  those  components  cannot  be removed  
without  permanently  damaging  the unit.  
 
 
Lamp  cap: means  that part of  a lamp  which  provides  connection  to the electrical  supply  by 
means  of a lamp holder  or lamp connector and may  also serve  to retain  the lamp  in the lamp  
holder.  
 
Lamp  control  gear : means  a device  located between  the electrical  supply and  one or more  
lamps, which  provides  a functionality related to  the operation  of the lamp(s), such  as 
transforming  the supply  voltage,  limiting  the current  of the  lamp(s) to the  required  value,  
providing a starting voltage and preheating current, preventing cold starting, correcting the  
power  factor  or reducing  radio interference.  The device  may be designed  to connect  to other  
lamp  control gear  to perform  these  functions.  
 
Lamp holder or ‘socket’ : means a device which holds the lamp in position, usually by having  
the cap inserted  in it, in which  case  it also provides the  means  of connecting  the lamp  to the 
electric  supply.  
 
Lamp life  time : For LED lamps, lamp lifetime means the operating time between the start 
of their use and the  moment  when  only 50%  of the total number  of lamps survive or  when  
the average lumen  maintenance  of the batch  falls below  70%,  whichever  occurs  first. For all  
other lamps, lamp lifetime means the period of operating time after which the fraction of the

Measurement  of mercury  content  for CFLi:  
 
The applicant  shall provide  a test report stating  that the  mercury  content  has been  measured  
using  the method  described  below.  The report  shall  state  the average  mercury content,  
calculated by  analyzing  ten lamps,  and then deleting  the highest  and lowest  values  before  
calculating  the arithmetic  mean of  the remaining  eight  values.  
 
The test method  for the  mercury  content  is as follows.  The arc tube  is first separated  from its  
plastic  surrounds  and associated  electronics.  The associated  lead wires  are cut as close  to 
the glass seal  as possible.  The arc tube is taken to  a fume cupboard  and is cut into segments.  
The segments are placed  in a suitably sized  robust  screw -capped  plastic  bottle to  which is  
added a  1 inch diameter  porcelain ball  and 25 ml  of high purity  concentrated  nitric  acid (70 
%). The bottle  is sealed  and shaken for  a few minutes  to reduce the arc  tube to fine particle  
size; the stopper is periodically loosened to eliminate any possibility of pressure build -up. The  
contents  of the bottle are  allowed  to react  for 30  minutes  during  which  time the contents are  
periodically agitated. The contents of the bottle are then filtered through an acid r esistant filter  
paper  and collected  in a 100  ml graduated  volumetric flask.  Potassium  dichromate  is then 
added  to the flask  so that  the final  concentration is  1,000  ppm with respect  to chromium.  The 
flask  is then made up to volume  with pure water.  Matched  standards are  made  up on a 
concentration  range  up to 200  ppm mercury.  The solutions  are analyzed  using  flame atomic  
absorption  at a wavelength of  253,7 nm  with background  correction  on. From  the results  
obtained  and knowledge  of the solution volume , the original  mercury  content  of the  light bulb 
can be computed. The  competent  body  may agree  adaptations to the  details  of this test 
method  if they are  necessary  for technical  reasons,  and these shall  be applied  in a consistent  
manner.  
 
As alternative methods, measurements according to IEC 62554 "Sample preparation for  
measurement of mercury level in fluorescent lamps" and/or IEC 62321 "Determination of  
certain substances  in electrotechnical  products"  series  are accepted.  35  
  
 
K-2 – Enforcer  additional  testing  methodologies  
 
The enforcer may  draw  a sample  of batch  of a minimum  of twenty lamps  of the same  model  
from  the same  manufacturer,  where  possible  obtained  in equal  proportion  from  four 
randomly selected  sources,  unless specified  otherwise  in Table  28. 
The model  shall be  considered  to comply  with the  requirements  laid down in this  Standard  if: 
• The lamps in  the batch  are accompanied  by the  required  and correct  product  
information,  and 
• All parameters  listed  in Table  28 are met 
 
Parameter  Procedure  
Lamp survival  
factor at 6,000  
h (for LED 
lamps only)  The test shall  end 
• when  the required  number of  hours  is met, or 
• when  more  than two lamps  fail, whichever occurs  first 
Compliance: a maximum of two out of every 20 lamps in the test  
batch  may fail before the  required number  of hours  
Non-compliance:  otherwise  
Number  of 
switching cycles  
before  failure  The test shall end when the required number of switching cycles  
is reached, or when more than one out of every 20 lamps in the 
test batch have reached the end of their life, whichever occurs  
first 
Compliance: at least 19 of every 20 lamps in the batch have no failure  
after  the required  number  of switching  cycles  is reached  
Non-compliance:  otherwise  
Starting  time Compliance: the average starting time of the lamps in the test batch is  
not higher than the required starting time plus 10 %, and no lamp in the  
sample  batch  has a starting  time longer  than 
two times  the required  starting time  
Non-compliance:  otherwise  
Lamp warm -up 
time to  60 % Φ Compliance: the average warm -up time of the lamps in the test batch is  
not higher than the required warm -up time plus 10%, and no lamp in the  
sample batch has a warm -up time that exceeds the required w arm-up 
time multiplied  by 1.5 
Non-compliance:  otherwise  
Premature  
failure  rate The test shall  end 
• when  the required  number of  hours  is met,  or 
• when  more  than one lamp  fails,  whichever occurs  first. 
Compliance: a maximum of one out of every 20 lamps in the test  
batch  fails before the  required  number  of hours  
Non-compliance:  otherwise  
Color  rendering  
(Ra) Compliance: the average Ra of the lamps in the test batch is not lower  
than three points below the required value, and no lamp in the test  
batch has  a Ra value  that is more  than 3,9 points  
below  the required  value  
Non-compliance:  otherwise  36  
 Lumen  
maintenance  at 
end of life and  
rated  lifetime  For these  purposes,  ‘end of life’ shall  mean  the point  in time 
when only 50 % of the lamps are projected to survive or when the  
average  lumen  maintenance  of the batch  is projected  to fall 
below 70  %, whichever  is projected  to occur  first 
Compliance:  the lumen  maintenance  at end  of life  and the 
(for LED lamps  
only)  lifetime  values  obtained  by extrapolation  from  the lamp  
survival factor  and from the  average  lumen  maintenance  of the 
lamps  in the test batch  at 6,000 h  are not lower  than 
respectively the  lumen maintenance  and the rated lifetime  
values  declared  in the product  information  minus  10 % 
Non-compliance:  otherwise  
Equivalence  
claims for retrofit  
lamps according  
to points  (l) and 
(m) of Annex  H If only the equivalence claim is verified for compliance, it is
