NEMA ANSI C78.54:2019 pdf download.American National Standard for Electric Lamps-Specification Sheet for Tubular Fluorescent Replacement and Retrofit LED Lamps.
The purpose is to standardize the Tubular LED (TLED) Lamp specification sheet, or data reporting format, as the means of communication of critical lamp characteristics such as:
a. Intended use ballasts (if applicable)
b. Reference circuit (if applicable)
c. Input voltage requirements (for use with mains voltage)
d. Other characteristics may include physical dimensions and/or temperature ratings for operation.
This Standard will cover all types of fluorescent replacement and retrofit TLED systems. This includes Ballast Driven (commonly referred to as Type A), Mains Voltage Driven (commonly referred to as Type B), External Driver Driven (commonly referred to as Type C), or hybrid type replacements. Lamps that do not fit existing replacement sockets, i.e., new lamp configurations, are not part of this Standard. Required contents and format of the specification sheet are provided. Manufacturers can include additional information.

4. Definitions
The definitions found in ANSI/IES RP-16 are normative along with the terms and definitions that follow in this clause.
Brand name: A name used by a manufacturer to distinguish its products from products made by other manufacturers.
Product code (or order code): An identifier used by a manufacturer to distinguish a given product from other products made by the same manufacturer. The product code may consist of numbers and/or letters.
Specification sheet: A specification sheet (or datasheet) is a document summarizing the performance and other technical characteristics of a product, machine, component (e.g., an electronic component), material, subsystem (e.g., a power supply), or software in sufficient detail to be used by a design engineer to integrate the component into a system. Specifically, the specification sheet referenced in this document lists particular characteristics, connectivity, and usage recommendations for tubular fluorescent replacement and retrofit LED lamps.
Hybrid TLED Lamp: A tubular LED lamp that can be operated according to the requirements of more than one type as defined by UL 1993. The designation shall be a combination of Type A, B, & C (e.g., Type A/B, Type A/C, Type B/C, Type NB/C).
Lamp, Type A: A device for general-use is intended for direct substitution of a fluorescent lamp and operating from the ballast that would be provided for the fluorescent lamp without additional modifications of the fluorescent lamp circuit.NEMA ANSI C78.54 pdf download.
