Description / Abstract:
The requirements in this standard cover indoor and outdoor ballasts, including starting circuits for the operation of high-intensity-discharge lamps, and associated equipment, in accordance with the National Electrical Code, from an alternating-current power supply with nominal input ratings of 600 V rms or less. High-intensity-discharge lamps include mercury, metal halide, high-pressure sodium, and similar types. For convenience, although technically not HID lamps, low-pressure sodium lamps are included with the group.
The requirements for ballasts consisting of resistance only are excluded from this standard.
An open core and coil ballast is acceptable only for use when in a lighting fixture, sign, or other enclosure acceptable for its intended application.
A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the requirements in this standard, and that involves a risk of fire or of electric shock or injury to persons shall be evaluated using appropriate additional component and end-product requirements to maintain the level of safety as originally anticipated by the intent of this standard. A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conflict with specific requirements or provisions of this standard does not comply with this standard. Revision of requirements shall be proposed and adopted in conformance with the methods employed for development, revision, and implementation of this standard.
