Auxiliaries for lamps - Ballasts for discharge lamps (excluding tubular fluorescent lamps) - Performance requirements
Standards Australia
Specifies performance requirements for inductive type ballasts for discharge lamps (such as high-pressure mercury vapour, low-pressure sodium vapour, high-pressure sodium vapour and metal halide lamps). The ballasts are for use on supplies up to 1000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. This Standard is technically equivalent to and has been reproduced from IEC 60923:1995.

This standard specifies performance requirements for ballasts for discharge lamps such as high-pressure mercury vapour, low-pressure sodium vapour, high-pressure sodium vapour and metal halide lamps. Each section details specific requirements for a particular type of ballast. The standard covers inductive type ballasts for use on a.c. supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz to 60 Hz associated with discharge lamps, having rated wattage, dimensions and characteristics as specified in the relevant IEC lamp standards.
It is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60922.
NOTE 1 û For certain types of discharge lamps an ignitor is required.
NOTE 2 û Extension of the standard to cover ballasts incorporating or for use with series capacitors is under consideration.
NOTE 3 û The performance requirements of ballasts for tubular fluorescent lamps are covered by IEC 60921.
