SIST EN 60730-2-3:1996/A1:1998

SIST EN 60730-2-3:1996/A1:1998 is a Slovene standard for automatic electrical controls for household and similar use. It is Amendment A1 to the Part 2-3 document on particular requirements for thermal protectors for ballasts for tubular fluorescent lamps, and the Slovene standard is identical to EN 60730-2-3:1992/A1:1998. It is based on IEC 60730-2-3:1990/A1:1995, modified.

What does SIST EN 60730-2-3:1996/A1:1998 specify?

SIST EN 60730-2-3:1996/A1:1998 specifies particular requirements for thermal protectors used with ballasts for tubular fluorescent lamps. In practical terms, it is the product-specific part of the automatic electrical controls family, so it is the document to check when a ballast needs thermal protection for this lamp type.

The standard sits in two application areas shown by its ICS classification: fluorescent lamps and discharge lamps, and automatic controls for household use. That tells the reader that the document is aimed at lamp-control equipment rather than general electrical installation hardware.

As an amendment, SIST EN 60730-2-3:1996/A1:1998 updates the Part 2-3 text rather than standing as a broad general standard on its own. For buyers and engineers, that means the controlling wording is the amended Part 2-3 edition identified on the cover page.

What are the key terms in SIST EN 60730-2-3:1996/A1:1998?

SIST EN 60730-2-3:1996/A1:1998 is built around a small group of technical terms that define the application area.

• Automatic electrical controls - control devices that operate automatically in household and similar equipment.
• Thermal protectors - protective devices that respond to temperature conditions and are used to limit overheating risk.
• Ballasts - the control gear used with fluorescent lamps.
• Tubular fluorescent lamps - fluorescent lamps in a tubular form, which are the lamp type named in the title.
• Household and similar use - the equipment context in which the standard family applies.

These terms matter because the standard is not for every lighting component. It is focused on one control function in one lamp-and-ballast application, so users should match their product specification to that exact use.

Who uses SIST EN 60730-2-3:1996/A1:1998?

SIST EN 60730-2-3:1996/A1:1998 is relevant to people who design, specify, source, or check thermal protectors for fluorescent-lamp ballasts. That includes component manufacturers, lamp-gear designers, quality teams, and purchasing teams working with household and similar-use products.

It is also useful for conformity and test activities because the document identifies a specific product family and an amended reference edition. In practice, that helps teams make sure they are working to the same technical basis when comparing products or supplier declarations.

What does the SIST EN 60730-2-3:1996/A1:1998 document contain?

The document contains the multilingual title block, the Slovene statement of identity with EN 60730-2-3:1992/A1:1998, and the amendment reference to IEC 60730-2-3:1990/A1:1995, modified. It also shows the ICS classifications 29.140.30 and 97.120.

For a reader, those details confirm the scope, the application field, and the European identity of the standard. The page is therefore useful for cataloguing, procurement checks, and technical library reference.

The publication information on the page also identifies SIST as the issuing organization and gives the standard’s publication date line.
