Compliance and approval
Chemical compatibility
In the market medium power LEDs exist containing a silver (Ag)-finished Lead frame.
The lead frame finish is sensitive to corrosion when exposed to substances
containing Sulfur or Chlorine. In that case parts of the lead frame may blacken, which
will impair the Lumen Output or the color of the LED. Materials that are known to
have a higher risk to be a source of Sulfur and Chlorine are for example natural
rubber or corrugated paper.
We recommend to ensure that the direct environment of these LEDs in the
luminaire does not contain materials that can be a source of Sulfur or Chlorine, for
optimal reliability of the LED, LED module and/or LED luminaire. Furthermore, make
sure that the products with these LEDs are not stored or used in vicinity of sources
of Sulfur or Chlorine, and the production environment is also free of these materials.
Also avoid cleaning of the LED products with these type of LEDs with abrasive
substances, brushes or organic solvents like Acetone and TCE.
The Fortimo LED Line uses LEDs with above explained type of lead frame.
Therefore above recommendations apply for the Fortimo LED Line modules.
Philips Fortimo LED Line Systems comply with the standards shown
below.
Compliance and approval marks
The Fortimo LED Line 3R and 1R HV are ENEC approved and comply with CE
regulations. The relevant standards are summarized in the table below. To ensure
luminaire approval, the conditions of acceptance need to be fulfilled. Details can be
requested from your local sales representative. All luminaire manufacturers are
advised to conform to the international standards of luminaire design (IEC 60598-
Luminaires).
IP rating, humidity and condensation
The Fortimo LED Line 3R and 1R HV systems are build-in systems and therefore
have no IP classification. They are not designed for operation in the open air. The
OEM is responsible for proper IP classification and approbation of the luminaire.
The Fortimo LED Line 1R /3R HV has been developed and released for use in damp
locations and not for locations where condensation is present. If there is a possibility
that condensation could come into contact with the modules, the system/luminaire
builder must take precautions to prevent this.
Photobiological safety
The lamp standard, IEC 62471 „Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems‟
gives guidance on evaluating the photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems
including luminaires. It specifically defines the exposure limits, reference
measurement technique and classification scheme for the evaluation and control of
photobiological hazards from all electrically powered incoherent broadband sources
of optical radiation, including LEDs, in the wavelength range from 200 nm to 3000
nm. Measurement results for LED Line products are given below. Based on these
measurements, the conclusion is that no safety measures are required.
