Quality Registered
All lighting luminaires produced by Havells-Sylvania are designed, manufactured and
tested under a quality assurance system in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001:2000, and
are designed to comply with EN 60.598 under certificate number FM 01687. Also, the
company employs an environmental management system under certificate number EMS
39002 that complies with BS EN ISO 14001:1996.
Compliance
The European Norm Electromechanical Certification (ENEC) has been adopted as a
common mark of conformity with European Standards. A mark issued by any single
national approbation bodies implies compliance with all seventeen international bodies.
The ENEC mark now replaces the national test house symbol, and is appended by a
number indicating from which test house the approbation originated.
marking
The designated product(s) is (are) in conformity with the provisions of the following

Luminaire Classifications
Voltage
Fittings and transformers are supplied primarily for operation on 230/240V 50 Hz. For alternative
electrical specifications contact Technical Support
Electrical protection
EN 60.598
Class 1 – fittings comply with class 1 (l) earthed electrical requirements i.e.
functional insulation in all parts and earth termination
Class 2 – fittings comply with class 2 (ll) double insulated electrical requirements
i.e. complete insulation in all parts without earth termination. In the event of an
electrical fault, no dangerous voltage can reach touchable metal parts
Class 3 – fittings comply with class 3 (lll) triple insulated electrical requirements
i.e. Where protection against electrical shock relies on supply at safely extra-low
(SELV) and in which voltages higher than those of SELV are not generated
Classification of ballast-lamp circuit for energy efficency in lighting
With defined limiting value for each class
According to the CELMA (the European Federation of the National Associations of the
manufactures of luminaires, control gears and lampholders) classification scheme the
following classes and typical ballast types exist:
s
Class B2:
magnetic ballasts with low losses
s
Class B1:
magnetic ballasts with very low losses
s
Class A3:
electronic ballasts
s
Class A2:
electronic ballasts with reduced losses
s
Class A1:
dimmable electronic ballasts
Dimmable ballasts are classificated A1 if they fulfil the following requirements:
s
at 100% light output setting the ballast fulfils at least the demands belonging to A3
s
at 25% light output setting the total input power is equal to or less than 50% of the
power at the 100% light output setting
s
the ballast must be able to reduce the light output to 10% or less of the maximum
light output
Electronic ballasts (conforming to CELMA energy efficiency scheme classes A1, A2 and
A3) are major power savers. They even reduce the power consumption of ballastlamp
circuits to less than the rated power of the lamp at 50Hz. This is caused by the
increased lamp efficiency at high frequencies (>20kHz), leading to about 10% less lamp
power and a decrease of the ballast losses
Radio suppression
EN 55.015, EN 61.000 & EN 61.547
Fittings comply with radio interference suppression and electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) regulations
Degree of protection
EN 60.529
The resistive performance of fittings to solids and liquids is indicated by the IP (Ingress
Protection) prefix followed by two numbers. The first number indicates the measure of
protection against the ingress of solids. The second number indicates the measure of
protection against the ingress of liquids
All diffusers are injection molded
