The following is a summary of the revised/new certification requirements.

Action is not required for current certified products and the new/revised certification requirements will be applied in evaluation of the new and revised products effective April 15, 2018.

Section Summary of requirements Paragraph Clause 8.2.2 For devices intended for use on a dimmer circuit, the input current measured during the test of Clause 8.12.2.1 shall not be more than 110 percent of the marked rating. Section Summary of requirements Paragraph Clause SA8.19.4 During the measurement, any mechanical interlock mechanism intended to prevent current from flowing through the lamp during its insertion or removal shall be defeated. However, an interlock mechanism located on the free end of the lamp under test is allowed to operate normally if it meets all the following criteria:

a) Actuators shall be located only on the face of the lamp bases and have a normally- open, momentary-type action so that they automatically engage and disengage when the lamp is inserted or removed from the luminaire, respectively;

b) Actuators shall require a force of no more than 4.45 N (1 lbf) to recess completely into the lamp base so that they are flush with the lamp base surface;

c) The actuator shall be made from or externally encapsulated by an insulating material that complies with the requirements for at least basic insulation;

d) The actuator shall be shaped and located to reduce the likelihood of accidental engagement by an end user during lamp insertion into or removal from an energized luminaire. The actuator is considered to comply with this requirement if it cannot be engaged by a 50.8 mm (2 inch) diameter rigid sphere regardless of how it contacts the lamp, see Figure SA8.2; and

e) The interlock mechanism shall endure 500 actuation cycles under its intended electrical load without resulting in mechanical or electrical damage to the lamp or mechanism. The following is Summary of Action Not Required new/revised certification requirements effective April 15, 2018 based on revisions dated January 27, 2017 to the 5th Edition of the Standard.
