IEC 60598-1 Ed. 10.0 b:2024

Full Description

This part of IEC 60598 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.

For explosion proof luminaires, as covered by the IEC 60079 series, the requirements of the IEC 60598 series (selecting the appropriate parts of the IEC 60598-2 series) are applied in addition to the requirements of the IEC 60079 series. In the event of any conflict between the IEC 60598 series and the IEC 60079 series, the requirements of the IEC 60079 series take priority.

This document does not cover performance. Performance of luminaires is covered by the IEC 62722 series.
