Luminaires

IEC 60598-2-2:2011 specifies requirements for recessed luminaires incorporating electric light sources for operation from supply voltages up to 1 000 V. This section does not apply to air-handling or liquid-cooled luminaires. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1996 and its Amendment 1 (1997), of which is constitutes a technical revision. The changes introduced by this new edition are those required to maintain consistency later versions of IEC 60598-1 that have been published since the previous edition of this standard.

IEC 60598-2-17:2017 specifies requirements for stage, television, film and photographic studio luminaires (including spot and floodlighting projectors) for use outdoors and indoors, with electric light sources on supply voltages not exceeding 1 000 V.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1984 and Amendement 2:1990. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) extension of the applicable scope from light source to electric light source and replacement of "tungsten filament, tubular fluorescent and other discharge lamps" with "electric light source" in 17.1.
b) consideration of the fact that there are many LED luminaires with non-replaceable light source, and light source without a glass bulb, or with low operation temperature: the applicable scope of relevant clauses therefore only applies to replaceable light source luminaires with a glass bulb lamp, or with high surface temperature.

IEC 60598-2-14:2009 applies to luminaires for cold cathode tubular discharge lamps and similar equipment, operating on a no-load rated output voltage over 1 000 V but not exceeding 10 000 V, mainly used for general lighting, for indoor or outdoor applications and for supply voltages up to 1 000 V. This publication is intended to be read in conjunction with IEC 60598-1: Luminaires - Part 1: General requirements and tests. It was established on the basis of the seventh edition (2008) of that standard.

This publication is intended to be read in conjunction with IEC 60598-1:2008.

IEC 60598-1:2020 RLV contains both the official IEC International Standard and its Redline version. The Redline version is available in English only and provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between the official IEC Standard and its previous edition.
IEC 60598-1:2020 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 document cover: classification, marking, mechanical construction, electrical construction and photobiological safety.
