Will a global test standard for CFLs be harmonised with the existing international standard formulated by IEC?
Absolutely. The is no desire to create an alternative standard that competes with existing protocols in use around the world in fact the objective is just the opposite. What this initiative is trying to achieve is to assist in the development of a protocol that is fit for purpose (accurate, cost effective measurement of key CFL performance criteria) and that can be adopted by as many organisations as possible. For this to be the case, the standard has to be adopted by one of the international standards agencies. At present (May 2006), discussions are underway with the IEC as to whether the developments in the testing method should be proposed as an amendment to the existing standard or a replacement.
