IEC 60598-1-2020 pdf free download – Luminaires – Part 1: General requirements and tests.
This Part 1 of EC 60598 specifies general requirements for luminaires，incorporating electriclight sources for operation from supply voltages upto 1 000 v. The requirements and relatedtests of this document cover: classification,marking，mechanical construction,electricalconstruction and photobiological safety.
Each section of this Part 1 is read in conjunction with this Section 0 and with other relevantsections to which reference is made.
Each part of lIEC 60598-2 details requirements for a particular type of luminaire or group ofluminaires on supply voltages not exceeding 1 000 v. These parts are published separatelyfor ease of revsion’and additional sections will be added as and when a need for them isrecognized.
The presentation of photometric data for luminaires is under consideration by the IntemationalCommission on llumination (ClE) and is not,therefore，included in this Part 1.
Requirements are included in this Part 1 for luminaires incorporatingignitors with nominalpeak values of the voltage pulse not exceeding those of Table 11.2. The requirements applyto luminaires with ignitors built into ballasts and to luminaires with ignitors separate fromballasts. For luminaires withignitors builtinto lamps，the requirements are underconsideration.
Requirements for semi-luminaires are included in this Part 1.
ln general，this Part 1 covers safety requirements for luminaires. The object of this Part 1 is to prowde a set of requirements and tests which are considered to be generally applicable tomost 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 ofluminaire, and its prowsions apply only to particular types of luminairesto the extentdetermined by the appropriate part of Ec 60598-2.
The parts of IEC 60598-2, in making reference to any of the sections of Part 1,specify theextent to which that section is applicable and the order in which the tests are performed; they also include additional requirements as necessary.
The order in which the sections of Part 1 are numbered has no particular significance as theorder in which their provisions apply is determined for each type of luminaire or group ofluminaires by the appropriate part of iEC 60598-2. All parts of lEC 60598-2 are self-contained
and therefore do not contain references to other parts of lEC 60598-2.
Where the requirements of any of the sections of Part 1 are referred to in the parts ofIEC 60598-2 by the phrase “The requirements of section… of lEC 60598-1 apply”, this phrase is interpreted as meaning that all the requirements of that section of Part 1 apply except those which are clearly inapplicable to the particular type of luminaire covered by that part ofIEC 60598-2.
For explosion proof luminaires, as covered by IEC 60079, the requirements of IEC 60598 (selecting the appropriate parts 2) are applied in addition to the requirements of IEC 60079. In the event of any conflict between IEC 60598 and IEC 60079, the requirements of IEC 60079 take priority.
Improvements in safety to take into account the state of the art technology are incorporated in the standards with revisions and amendments on an ongoing basis. Regional standardization bodies can include statements in their derived standards to cover products which have complied with the previous document as shown by the manufacturer or standardization body. The statements may require that for such products, the previous standard may continue to apply to production until a defined date after which the new standard shall apply.
