FLUORESCENT ULTRAVIOLET LAMPS USED FOR TANNING –
MEASUREMENT AND SPECIFICATION METHOD

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This redline version of the official IEC Standard allows the user to identify the changes
made to the previous edition. A vertical bar appears in the margin wherever a change has
been made. Additions are in green text, deletions are in strikethrough red text.

International Standard IEC 61228 has been prepared by subcommittee 34A: Electric light
sources, of IEC technical committee 34: Lighting.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2008. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) maintenance code: description of the depreciation of the UV irradiance lamp during
operation;
b) operating position: information added for single capped lamps;
c) spectroradiometric measuring system: new information about distance between sensor and
lamp axis;
d) measurement and evaluation procedure: separated detailed information for double capped
fluorescent UV lamps and single capped fluorescent UV lamps;
e) Annex C (normative), Method of test for irradiance maintenance: new information added;
f) Annex D (normative), Reflector gauge: new information added;
g) Annex E (normative), Lamp datasheets for measurement: complementary information added.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
34A/2213/FDIS 34A/2220/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in the
report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct understanding
of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a colour printer.

FLUORESCENT ULTRAVIOLET LAMPS USED FOR TANNING –
MEASUREMENT AND SPECIFICATION METHOD

1 Scope
This document describes the method of measuring, evaluating and specifying the UV irradiation
characteristics of fluorescent ultraviolet lamps that are used in appliances for tanning purposes.
It includes specific requirements regarding the marking of such lamps.
These recommendations requirements relate only to type testing.
Lamps complying with the requirements of this document comply with the electrical and
mechanical safety requirements of IEC 61195 and IEC 61199 with the exception of the
requirements for maximum limits of UV radiation.
