Description (English):

IEC 61558-2-9:2024 deals with the safety of transformers for class III handlamps and power supply units incorporating transformers for class III handlamps. Transformers incorporating electronic circuits are also covered by this document. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) adjustment of structure and references in accordance with IEC 61558-1:2017; b) addition of a new symbol for power supply unit with linearly regulated output voltage; c) document is not only valid for transformers for tungsten filament handlamps. It has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.

Abstract

Overview

IEC 61558-2-9:2024 is the third edition of the IEC safety standard for transformers and power supply units for class III handlamps. It specifies particular requirements and tests for transformers (including those with electronic circuits) and power supplies that provide safety extra-low voltage (SELV) for handlamps. This edition updates the 2010 version, adjusts structure and references to align with IEC 61558-1:2017, adds a symbol for linearly regulated outputs, and expands applicability beyond tungsten filament lamps. IEC 61558-2-9:2024 has the status of a group safety publication (IEC Guide 104).

Key topics and technical requirements

The standard supplements IEC 61558-1 and focuses on practical safety and test criteria for class III handlamp transformers and linear power supplies. Major technical topics include:

Scope and ratings: single-phase, air-cooled dry-type transformers (stationary or portable); rated supply voltage ≤ 1 000 V AC; rated output ≤ 10 kVA; internal operational frequencies ≤ 500 Hz (SMPS handled jointly with IEC 61558‑2‑16).
Output limits for class III: no-load and rated outputs not exceeding 50 V AC or 120 V ripple‑free DC, with only small no-load/rated voltage differences.
Protection against electric shock: SELV considerations and required insulation measures.
Electrical tests: insulation resistance, dielectric strength, leakage current, short‑circuit and overload behavior.
Thermal and mechanical requirements: heating limits, mechanical strength, resistance to heat/fire/tracking and corrosion.
Marking, classification and symbols: including new symbol for linearly regulated output voltage.
Construction and components: internal wiring, terminals, earthing provisions, creepage/clearance distances.
Test methods and documentation: general notes on tests and required records to demonstrate compliance.

Practical applications

IEC 61558-2-9 is intended for use where safe low-voltage handlamps are required - for example, workshop and inspection handlamps that rely on SELV transformers or linear power supplies. The standard ensures that transformers and linear power supply units used with class III handlamps meet electrical, thermal and mechanical safety expectations.

Who should use this standard

Transformer and power supply manufacturers (design and compliance)
Product safety and compliance engineers
Test laboratories and certification bodies
OEMs integrating handlamp transformers into lighting products
Regulatory and standards committees
