Abstract
Adopts IEC 60598-1, Ed. 8.0 (2014), which specifies general requirements for luminaires, incorporating electric light sources, for operation from supply voltages up to 1000 V. The requirements and related tests of this Standard cover: classification, marking, mechanical construction and electrical construction.
Scope
This Part 1 of IEC 60598 specifies general requirements for luminaires, incorporating electric light sources for operation from supply voltages up to 1 000 V. The requirements and related tests of this standard cover: classification, marking, mechanical construction, electrical construction and photobiological safety.
Each section of this Part 1 is read in conjunction with this Section 0 and with other relevant sections to which reference is made.
Each part of IEC 60598-2 details requirements for a particular type of luminaire or group of luminaires on supply voltages not exceeding 1 000 V. These parts are published separately for ease of revision and additional sections will be added as and when a need for them is recognized.
The presentation of photometric data for luminaires is under consideration by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) and is not, therefore, included in this Part 1.
Requirements are included in this Part 1 for luminaires incorporating ignitors with nominal peak values of the voltage pulse not exceeding those of Table 11.2. The requirements apply to luminaires with ignitors built into ballasts and to luminaires with ignitors separate from ballasts.
For luminaires with ignitors built into lamps, the requirements are under consideration.
Requirements for semi-luminaires are included in this Part 1.
In general, this Part 1 covers safety requirements for luminaires. The object of this Part 1 is to provide a set of requirements and tests which are considered to be generally applicable to most types of luminaires and which can be called up as required by the detail specifications of IEC 60598-2. This Part 1 is thus not regarded as a specification in itself for any type of luminaire, and its provisions apply only to particular types of luminaires to the extent determined by the appropriate part of IEC 60598-2.
