1 Scope
This part of IEC 62722 covers specific performance and environmental requirements for luminaires, incorporating
electric light sources for operation from supply voltages up to 1 000 V. Unless otherwise
detailed, performance data covered under the scope of this document are for the luminaires
in a condition representative of new manufacture, with any specified initial aging
procedures completed.
This document covers requirements for luminaires to support energy efficient use and
responsible environmental management to the end of life. The object of this document
is to provide a set of requirements which are considered to be generally applicable
to most types of luminaires. Where additional performance requirements for specific
types of light source are relevant, these are specified in the IEC 62722‑2 series. The IEC 62722‑2 series can also cover a wider scope of performance aspects appropriate to the particular
light source technology.
Semi-luminaires are not covered under the scope of this document.
For some types of luminaires (e.g. decorative or household) the provision of performance
data under the scope of this document is not appropriate.
