Luminaires - Part 1: General requirements and tests

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 document 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.
