For luminaires with supply voltages and output voltages not exceeding 1000 V for class I and class II luminaires, and 250 V for class 0 luminaires.

This section of IEC 598-2 specifies requirements for luminaire with built-in transformers or convertors for filament lamps, with supply voltages and output voltages not exceeding:

• 1 000 V for class I and class II luminaires and

• 250 V for class 0 luminaires.

It is to be read in conjunction with those sections of IEC 598-1 to which reference is made.

This section does not apply to class III luminaires.

It is not necessary to use “Safety extra low voltage” (SELV) transformers or (SELV) convertors to comply with the requirements of this section. However, such transformers or convertors may satisfy the functional requirements of this section.
