IEC 61167:2018规定了一般照明用金属卤化物灯的性能要求。 这第四版取消并取代了2015年出版的第三版。本版构成技术修订版。 与上一版相比，该版本包括以下重大技术变化。 a)针对设计用于替代高压钠灯的灯类型，推出了一套新的灯数据表。 b)为标准中已有的3 000 K灯类型的4 200 K版本引入了一组新的灯数据表。 c)对于高频点火数据很重要的新型灯，已经引入了一组新的灯数据表。 d)对附件G进行了修订，纳入了高频点火。由于这一变化，标准中的所有数据表都已修订为新格式。 e)引入了新的信息性附录K，给出了进行灯温度测量的推荐方法。

IEC 61167:2018 specifies the performance requirements for metal halide lamps for general lighting purposes.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition.
a) A set of new lamp data sheets has been introduced for lamp types designed for replacing high pressure sodium lamps.
b) A set of new lamp data sheets has been introduced for 4 200 K versions of 3 000 K lamp types already in the standard.
c) A set of new lamp data sheets has been introduced for new lamp types where high frequency ignition data is important.
d) Annex G has been revised to incorporate high frequency ignition. As a consequence of this change, all data sheets in the standard have been revised to a new format.
e) A new informative Annex K has been introduced, giving recommended methods of making lamp temperature measurements.
