Description / Abstract:
These requirements cover ballasts of the resistance, reactance,
and electronic (high frequency) types for use with fluorescent
lamps involving a potential of 2500 volts or less in accordance
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
A fluorescent-lamp ballast may be determined by investigation to
be acceptable for use, in a fixture or other device, with
electric-discharge lamps of other than the fluorescent type.
Fluorescent self ballasted lamps and ballast adaptors are
evaluated using the Standard for Self-Ballasted Lamps and Lamp
Adapters, UL 1993. The component ballast is evaluated to
requirements in this Standard.
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.
