EN IEC 60598-1:2024

IEC 60598-1:2024 specifies general safety requirements for luminaires, incorporating electric light sources for operation from supply voltages up to 1 000 V. Requirements for semi-luminaires are included in this document.This tenth edition cancels and replaces the ninth edition published in 2020. This edition constitutes a technical revision.This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:a) new structure to comply with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2;b) addition of a new Annex V for comparison with the previous edition;c) revision of 7.32 for SPDs and for SPCs;d) the terms "live part" and "active part" were reviewed and aligned with the definitions of "live part" and "hazardous live part" given in IEC 60050-195;e) revision of 7.14.2 for conductor mechanical stress;f) revision of 14.5.2, Item 4 to include controlgear;g) revision of 9.2.1 (Earthing) with the deletion of the word "permanently";h) revision of Annex N: earth continuity test time;i) revision of 7.11.4; 7.14.1; Table 22 (14.4.3): Introduction of requirements for suspension by magnets;j) addition of a new Annex W for luminaires using batteries;k) clarification of Clause 6 for marking requirements for nature of supply;l) addition of a new Subclause 7.31.5: Additional requirements for luminaires using controllable controlgear providing SELV output(s);m) revision of 6.4.16: Information to be provided for luminaire having protective earth current > 10 mA;n) revision of 6.3.23; 6.4.18; 6.4.24; 7.30 and 10.2.1 for serviceable, non-user serviceable and non-serviceable components;o) revision of Annex D: Draught-proof enclosure;p) revision of 8.2.1 and 13.2.1: Inconsistencies in the inclusion of the limits of voltage ranges;q) revision of 9.2.10 for looping-in;r) Revision of Clause 2 and 7.8: update of the reference to IEC 61058-1-1, IEC 61058-1-2 and IEC 61058­2­1. Update of temperature limits in Table 21 (14.4.3) for luminaires incorporating switches according to IEC 60669-1 or IEC 60669-2-1;s) revision of 6.3.22 and 7.24 for photobiological safety;t) addition of a new Subclause 6.3.27 for marking of mains socket outlet moved from information requirements.
