Luminaires
Part 1: General requirements and tests
SCOPE AND OBJECT
This Part 1 of International Standard IEC 598 specifies general
requirements for the classifica-
tion and marking of luminaires and for their mechanical and electrical
construction, together
with related tests, The part is applicable to luminaires for use with
tungsten filament, tubular
fluorescent and other discharge lamps on supply voltages not exceeding
1000 V. Additional
Sections will be added when a need for them is recognized.
Each Section of IEC 598-2 details requirements for a particular type
of luminaire or group of luminaires on supply voltages not exceeding
1000 V. These Sections are published separately for ease of revision
and additional Sections will be added as and when a need for them
is recognized.
Attention is drawn to the fact that this Part I covers all aspects
of' safety (electrical, thermal
and mechanical). The presentation of photometric data for luminaires
is under consideration by the lnternational Commission on Illumination
(CIE) and is not, therefore, included in this Part 1.
Requirements are included in this Part 1 for luminaires incorporating
ignitors with nominal peak values of the voltage pulse not exceeding
those of Tab. 11.2. The requirements apply to luminaires with ignitors
built into ballasts and to luminaires with ignitors separate from
ballasts. For luminaires with ignitors built into lamps, the requirements
are under consideration.
Requirements for semi-luminaires are included in this Part. In general
this Part 1 covers safety requirements for luminaires. The object
of this Part 1 is to provide a set of requirements and tests which
are considered to be generally applicable to most types of luminaires
and which can be
called up as required by the detail specifications of IEC 598-2. This
Part 1 is thus not to be re-
garded as a specification in itself for any type of luminaire, and
its provisions apply only to par-
ticular types of luminaires to the extent determined by the appropriate
Section of Part 2.
The Sections of Part 2, in making reference to any of the Sections
of Part 1, specify the extent to which that Section is applicable
and the order in which the tests are to be performed; they also include
additional requirements as necessary.
The order in which the Sections of Part I are numbered has no particular
significance as the order in which their provisions apply is determined
for each type of luminaire or group of luminaires by the appropriate
Section of Part 2. All Sections of Part 2 are self-contained and therefore
do not contain references to other Sections of Part 2.
Where the requirements of any of the Sections of Part I are referred
to in the Sections of Part 2 by the phrase "The requirements
of Section ... of IEC 598-1 apply", this phrase is to be interpreted
as meaning that all the requirements of that Section of part I apply
except those which are clearly inapplicable to the particular type
of luminaire covered by that Section of Part 2.
In accordance with IEC guidelines, new IEC Standards are divided into
those covering either safety or performance. In the lamp safety standards,
"information for luminaire design" is given for the safe
operation of lamps; this should be regarded as normative when testing
luminaires to this standard.
Attention is drawn to lamp performance standards which contain "information
for luminaire design"; this should be followed for proper lamp
operation; however, this standard does not require the testing of
lamps performance as part of the type test approval for luminaires.
