Scope:

Note: The standard type for this NOI have been updated (originally published on November 8, 2022) was updated by the responsible SDO on January 10, 2023.

This standard provides specifications for and operating characteristics of non-integral electronic drivers (power supplies) for LED devices, arrays, or systems intended for general lighting applications, including indoor and outdoor, as well as specific cases such as Power over the Ethernet (PoE), and Luminaires or Lighting systems assembled with two or more LED drivers, and in the future may include other devices such as Light Fidelity (LiFi) or Visual Light Communication (VLC). Electronic drivers are devices that use semiconductors to control and supply DC power for LED starting and operation. The drivers operate from supply sources up to 600 V AC or DC at a frequency up to 60 Hertz.

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of ANSI and NEMA standards on Electronic Drivers for LED Drivers. This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of BC Hydro. It will provide the industry with in measuring performance of LED drivers
