SELF-BALLASTED LAMPS FOR GENERAL LIGHTING SERVICES
Safety requirements
FOREWORD
1) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters,
prepared by Technical Committees on which all the National Committees
having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly
as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects
dealt with.
2) They have the form of recommendations for international use and they
are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
3)
In order to promote international unification, the IEC expresses the
wish
that all National Committees should adopt the text of the IEC
recommendation for their national rules in so far as national
conditions will permit. Any divergence between the IEC
recommendation
and the corresponding national rules should, as far as possible, be
clearly indicated in the latter.
