LED modules - Safety requirements
Scope: IEC 62031:2026 specifies safety requirements for LED modules for operation on DC supplies up to 1 500 V or on AC supplies up to 1 000 V. This document does not include requirements for performance characteristics of LED modules.
This document does not apply to:
- LED packages;
- LED modules for automotive lighting;
- OLED modules;
- LED lamps.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2018. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Complete review of the document structure, detailed technical requirements and tests, including but not limited to what is individually described under items b) to i);
b) Clarification of the scope and revision of the applicability of this document to independent and integral LED modules;
c) Updated terms and definitions;
d) Clearer specification for clause general requirements and clause general test requirements;
e) Update of the marking clause, such as marking of control terminals;
f) A full review and update of the electrical safety, thermal safety, and mechanical safety requirements preventing misinterpretation and ambiguity;
g) Updated photobiological safety requirements;
h) Revised and updated fault conditions and abnormal conditions requirements;
i) Removal of the annex relating to conformity testing during manufacture.

LED modules for general lighting - Safety specifications
Scope: IEC 62031:2018 specifies general and safety requirements for light-emitting diode (LED) modules:
- non-integrated LED modules (LEDni modules) and semi-integrated LED modules (LEDsi modules) for operation under constant voltage, constant current or constant power;
- Integrated LED modules (LEDi modules) for use on DC supplies up to 250 V or AC supplies up to 1 000 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2008, Amendment 1:2012 and Amendment 2:2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a. the scope was clarified as well as the wording in several other clauses;
b. the normative references were updated;
c. the definitions for "replaceable LED module", "non-replaceable LED module" and "non-user replaceable LED module" were introduced while other definitions covered by IEC 62504 have been removed;
d. the marking clause was restructured and a table added to provide an informative overview;
e. the marking requirements for built-in LED modules were changed;
f. the entry for the marking with the working voltage was revised;
g. the provisions for terminals and heat management were revised;
h. Annex B was deleted;
i. information for luminaire design with regard to working voltage and water contact was introduced;
j. an abnormal temperature test was introduced.
