Specifies general and safety requirements for glow-starters for fluorescent lamps. It is reproduced from IEC 60155:1993 and IEC 60155/Amd.1:1995 but has additional local requirements for ignitability and combustion propagation. In Australia it supersedes both AS 3138-1993 and AS 4111-1993 on 1 January 2002.

This standard specifies interchangeable glow-starters used with pre-heat type fluorescent lamps, hereafter called "starters".Section 1 specifies the general and safety requirements with which starters shall comply.Section 2 specifies the performance.NOTE - Starters are generally designed to operate with a range of lamps, depending on supply voltage, single lamp or series pair operation, maximum lamp voltage and lamp starting requirements.Glow-starters for use in class II luminaires shall comply with annex B.
