American National Standard for Lamp Ballasts—Ballasts for High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Lamps—Methods of Measurement is a lighting systems industry Standard that describes the procedures to be followed and the precautions to be taken in measuring the performance of low-frequency ballasts (electromagnetic and electronic ballasts that operate at less than 400 Hz) for high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps.
Deviations from this Standard’s procedures are permissible for production or other testing provided that the methods used to give results in substantial agreement with the method given within this Standard.
As the secretariat of ANSI ASC C82 for Ballasts and Drivers, the NEMA Lighting Systems Division is seeking experts for C82 in the underrepresented “user” and “general interest” categories. Please contact NEMA at lighting@nema.org if you are interested and indicate your interest category and area of expertise.
