To ensure consistency in quality criteria the manufacturers shall submit data in accordance with
IEC/PAS 62717 Performance requirements – LED modules for general lighting and IEC/PAS
62722 Performance requirements – LED luminaires for general lighting. These documents were
developed together to provide; the definition of a set of quality criteria related to the initial
specifications of a product and a standardised description on how to measure
these quality criteria. The following list of quality criteria, as detailed in the Lighting Industry
Liaison Group – A Guide to the Specification of LED Lighting Products 2012, will be considered
during the evaluation process.
3.1.24.1 Rated input power. The rated input power shows the amount of energy consumed by
a luminaire, including its power supply. It is expressed in watts.
3.1.24.2 Rated luminous flux. This is the light emitted by the luminaire which is expressed in
lumens. For LED luminaires Absolute photometric values shall be used.
3.1.24.3 LED luminaire efficacy. The measured initial luminous flux divided by the measured
initial input power of the same individual LED luminaire. It is expressed in lumens per watt.
3.1.24.4. Luminous intensity distribution. The spatial distribution of the luminous flux
graphically depicted in a luminous intensity distribution curve, which is usually expressed in a
polar diagram representing the light intensity as a function of angle about a light source. It is
expressed in cd.
3.1.24.5 Photometric code. A six digit photometric code that displays the important ‘quality of
light’ parameters; CRI, CCT, chromaticity co-ordinates and luminous flux.
Code X XX / X X X
Colour Colour Initial Colour Lumen

Rendering Temperature colour variation Maintenance
variation through life
Example:
Initial CRI value of 84 – code 8
Initial CCT value of 300K – code 30
Initial chromaticity co-ordinates within a 3-step MacAdam ellipse – code 3
Maintained chromaticity co-ordinates within a 5-step MacAdam ellipse – code 5
Maintained luminous flux of 91% - code 9
Photometric Code = 830/359
a. Correlated Colour Temperature (CCT).

In order to classify the different types of white light, the concept of colour temperature is applied
which is described as the colour impression of a perfect black-body radiator at certain

temperatures. The initial CCT value classification for the photometric code can be obtained by
taking the initial CCT value divided by 100.
b. Rated Colour Rendering Index (CRI).

Although light sources may have the same colour appearance, this doesn’t necessarily mean
that colour surfaces will look the same under them. The initial CRI value classification for the
photometric code can be obtained by using the following intervals:
Cod CRI Colour rendering

e
6 Range
57-66 properties
Poor
7 67-76 Moderate
8 77-86 Good
9 87-100 Excellent
c. Rated chromaticity co-ordinate values both initial and maintained.

MacAdam ellipses are scaled up to a larger size of 3x, 5x or 7x the original. This is indicated
as a 3-step, 5-step or 7-step MacAdam ellipse. The initial and maintained chromaticity co-
ordinates are measured for the maintained value at 25% of rated life up to a maximum of 6000
hours. The classification for the photometric code can be obtained by using the following
intervals:
Size of MacAdam ellipse,

Colour variation category
centered
on the rated colour target initi maintained
3-step 3al 3
5-step 5 5
7-step 7 7
˃7-step ellipse 7+ 7+
d. Lumen maintenance code.

The code number does not imply a prediction of achievable life time. The maintained luminous
flux is measured at 25% of rated life up to a maximum of 6000 hours and expressed as a
percentage of the initial values. The maintained value determines the lumen maintenance code.
Lumen maintenance (%) Code

˃90 9
˃80 8

Measurements of Solid-State Lighting Products.
3.1.24.11 Drive Current. The power supply and electronics must provide a well-controlled DC
drive current. Drive current is expressed in mA.
3.1.24.12 Optical Risk.

Optical risk identifies the risk group related to the exposure to hazardous sources of artificial
optical radiation. When light sources are placed in a luminaire, the Risk Group classification
can change due to the optics used in the luminaire.
Risk Group 0 Exempt
Risk Group 1 Low
Risk Group 2 Moderate
Risk Group 3 High
