Introduction Testing for quality control and compliance are very important aspects of the manufacturing and verification of lighting. In order to ensure that the quality of these items is satisfactory, goniophotometers are used rather often. The usage of goniophotometers, which measure the spread of light in an objective way, enables manufacturers to assess the effectiveness, reliability, and comp...

The object of this International Standard is: – ...
The IEC 60598 test standard provides specific requirements for luminaires. A luminaire is defined as an electric light source for operation from supply voltages up to 1,000 volts. IEC 60598-1 speaks to many tests for luminaires. This document covers only the ingress protection section of the standard. For information about the who standard, please visit our IEC 60598-1 Testing page. A luminaire is...
Introduction The semiconductor sector is crucial to the operation of today’s technological marvels, since semiconductor chips are the backbone of all electronic gadgets and infrastructure. The problem of electromagnetic interference (EMI) is becoming more pressing as semiconductor devices get smaller and more complicated. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is harmful to electronics and may c...
Introduction: Products need to be well-packaged so that they don’t get damaged or spoiled while being stored, transported, or distributed. It is crucial that items get to customers in pristine shape, thus the longevity and dependability of packing materials is crucial. The effectiveness and durability of packing materials are often evaluated using accelerated aging experiments. A variety of ...
Guarding of Heating Elements General The heating element and any part of the element assembly (such as an element support, sheath, and similar parts) shall be so guarded that flammable material as well as persons will be protected against contacting it. Any heater projections such as guards or grilles that are intended to guard hot heater surfaces shall be positively secured to the heater such as ...
Introduction Goniophotometry is a standard method for describing the light field around a given point source. It’s vital in lots of different fields, such as lighting design, car lighting, garden illumination, and more. The integrating sphere and the goniometer are two popular measuring tools used in goniophotometry. Different tasks call for various methodologies due to their own strengths a...
Introduction Environmental elements such as temperature and humidity may have a major impact on how well and how long something lasts. The aerospace, automotive, construction, and consumer goods sectors are just some of the many that depend on an accurate understanding of how materials perform under varying temperatures and humidity levels. Researchers and manufacturers may test the effects of tem...
Determination of accessible parts of IEC 62368 V.1 Accessible parts of equipment V.1.1 General An accessible part of an equipment is a part that can be touched by a body part. For the purposes of determining an accessible part, a body part is represented by one or more of the specified test probes. Accessible parts of an equipment can include parts behind a door, panel, removable cover, etc. that ...
