 Foreword  
Development of the East African Standards has been necessitated by the need for harmonizing requirements 
governing quality of products and services i n the East African Community. It is envisaged that through 
harmonized standardization, trade barriers that are encountered when goods and services are exchanged within 
the Community will be removed.  
The Community has established an East African Standards Committee  (EASC)  mandated to develop and issue 
East African Standards  (EAS) . The Committee is composed of representatives of the National Standards Bodies 
in Partner States, together with the representatives from the public and private sector organizations  in the 
community .  
East African Standards are developed through  Technical Committees that are representative of key 
stakeholders including government, academia, consumer groups, private sector and other interested parties. 
Draft East African Standards are circulated to stakeholders through the National Standards Bodie s in the Partner 
States. The comments received are discussed and incorporated before finalization of standards, in accordance 
with the Principles and procedures for development of East African Standards.  
East African Standards are subject to review, to kee p pace with technological advances. Users of the East 
African Standards are therefore expected to ensure that they always have the latest versions of the standards 
they are implementing .  
The committee responsible for this document is Technical Committee EASC/TC 0 51 Electrical Installation and 
Lighting.  
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be subject of patent rights. 
EAC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

8 Requirements for applicant  
8.1 With respect to the performance requirements ( Clause 6), the following evidence shall be submitted to 
the national regulatory authority as proof of conformity with the requirements of this standard:  
a) a completed application form as specified in Annex B or a similar form as required by the national 
regulatory authority ; 
b) evidence of conformity to requirements set out in Clause  6 - A valid test report issued by a laboratory 
appropriately accredited by an internationally recognised body being a member of an IAF/ILAC/IECEE 
mutual recognition scheme in accordance with the country’s conformity assessment policy ; and  
c) other documents as required by the national regulatory authority . 
8.2 The applicant shall ensur e that each model of the lighting product has been approved and successfully 
registered by the relevant regional or national regulatory authority before offering it for sale, or import, or supply 
in accordance with the requirements set out in the relevant regulations.  
8.3 Evidence of conformity which is deemed unacceptable includes, for example, self -certification reports, 
declaration of one product being applied to another, data sheets without valid test reports and so on.  Only valid 
test reports will be accepted as evidence of compliance to the requirements of covered products.  
8.4 The applicant shall inform the regulatory authority of any change in design or materials affecting any 
mandatory requirement in terms of this standard for any product, even wit hin a family of products. In the event 
of such change(s) the regulatory authority may, at its discretion, demand that the applicant submits a new 
application for approval.  
8.5 The applicant shall, on request, provide the regulatory authority with proof of compliance in respect of 
any model of lighting product included in the scope of this standard. Failure to provide such proof shall constitute 
reasonable grounds for suspicion of non -compliance with the requirements of this mandatory regulation of the 
produ ct.

 Annex  A 
(normative)  
 
Lifetime and endurance test  
A.1 General  
Light sources shall undergo a switching cycle endurance testing to verify their luminous flux maintenance factor 
and survival factor. This endurance testing consists of the test method outlined below for LED and OLE D light 
sources  
A.2 Ambient conditions and test setup  
A.2.1 The switching cycles are to be conducted in a room with an ambient temperature of 25°C ±  10 °C and 
an average air velocity of less than 0.2 m/s . 
A.2.2 The swit ching cycles on the sample shall be conducted in free air in a vertical base -up position. 
However, if a supplier has declared the light source is suitable for use in a specific orientation only, then the 
sample shall be mounted in that orientation . 
A.2.3 The applied voltage during the switching cycles shall have a tolerance within 2  %. The total harmonic 
content of the supply voltage shall not exceed 3 %. Standards provide guidance on the supply voltage source.  
A.3 Provisional endurance test method  
A.3.1 Initial flux measurement ; measure the luminous flux of the light source prior to starting the endurance 
test switching cycle . 
A.3.2 Switching cycles ; operate the light source for 1200 cycles of repeated, continuous switching cycles 
without interruption. One complete switching cycle consists of 150 min of the light source switched on at full 
power followed by 30 min of the light source switched off. The hours of operation recorded (i.e., 3000 h) include 
only the periods of the switching cycle when the light source was switched on, i.e. the total test time is 3600 h . 
A.3.3 Final flux measurement ; at the end of the 1200 switching cycles, note if any lamps h ave failed (see 
‘Survival Factor’ requirements in clauses 6.3 Table 5)  and measure the luminous flux of the light sources that 
have not failed . 
A.3.4 For each of the units in the sample which have not failed, divide the measured final flux by the measured 
initial flux. The arithmetical mean of the resulting values of all the units that did not fail provides the determined 
value for the luminous flux maintenance factor X LMF%.

 Annex  B 
(informative)  
 
Outdoor / streetlight luminaire lifetime test  
B.1 General  
There are two options for suppliers to demonstrate conformity to the luminous flux maintenance requirement for 
outdoor / streetlight luminaires ,  
a) Option B.1: Component performance ; or  
b) Option B.2: Luminaire performance.  
B.1.1  Option B.1: Performance of the LED Component  
B.1.1.1  The LED component Performance option allows the manufacturer to demonstrate compliance with the 
luminous flux maintenance requirements by providing the in -situ temperature measurement test (ISTMT) (as 
written in IES  LM-84, Annex A), the report on the luminous flux maintenance tests according to the IES LM -80 
for the LED module used in the luminaire and the calculation of the luminous flux maintenance designed 
according to IES TM -21. 
B.1.1.2  To evaluate the performanc e compliance of the LED component, the following conditions shall be met:  
a) the highest temperature measured in the ISTMT should be below the highest temperature value of the 
component measured in the IES LM -80; 
b) the location of the temperature measurement po int (TMP) is defined by the manufacturer for both the 
IES LM -80 and the ISTM tests ; 
c) the LED module current, supplied by the LED controller in the luminaire, should be less than or equal 
to the LED module current measured for the IES LM -80 test report ; 
d) the luminous flux maintenance duration in hours (h), estimated according to the IES TM -21, shall be 
greater than or equal to the percentage of the luminous flux maintenance corresponding to the projected 
end point, listed in Table B.1. The projected end point corresponds to the maximum value allowed by 
the extrapolation of the IES TM21, i.e. 6 times the test time value of the IES LM -80 data.

 Table B.1 ⎯ Option 1: TM -21 projected luminous flux maintenance requirements  
Test time operating hours  Projected end point (based 
on 20 sample units)  Required luminous flux maintenance at 
projected end point  
(For ≥ 50 000 h products)  
6000  h 36 000 h  ≥ 77.4%  
6500  h 39 000 h  ≥ 75.7%  
7000  h 42 000 h  ≥ 74.1%  
7500  h 45 000 h  ≥ 72.5%  
8000  h 48 000 h  ≥ 71.0%  
8333  h 50 000 h  ≥ 70.0%  
 
B.1.2  Option B.2: Luminaire performance  
B.1.2.1  In cases where Option 1: Component performance cannot be applied, such as products using 
secondary optics with remote phosphor or when IES LM -80 data is not available, vendors can demonstrate 
luminous flux maintenance compliance through the performance requirements of the luminaire.  
B.1.2.2  The conformity of the luminaire performance for the maintenance of the luminous flux is verified by 
submitting the comple te luminaire to the photometric tests of the IES LM -79, comparing the initial luminous flux 
(time = 0 hours) with the luminous flux after 6000  hours of operation (time ≥ 6000  h). 
B.1.2.3  The test report should demonstrate a minimum percentage of the mainte nance of the luminous flux, as 
shown in Table B.1.
