Scope

What is BS EN IEC 60598-1:2021+A1:2022 about? This is the amended Part 1 in a multi-part series of international safety standards on “luminaires”, aka complete electric lighting units. Part 1 provides a set of requirements and tests that are considered generally applicable to most types of luminaire and that can be called up as required by the detailed specifications in Part 2, which consists of around 20 standards that each deal with a specific type of luminaire. The amendment was raised so that BS EN IEC 60598-1:2021+A1:2022 can be cited in the Official Journal of the European Union and can therefore provide a means of conforming to the safety objectives of the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU. Who is BS EN IEC 60598-1:2021+A1:2022 for? Lighting manufacturers Lighting product stockists Test and certification houses Interior designers Lighting designers What does BS EN IEC 60598-1:2021+A1:2022 cover? It specifies the essential electrical safety and performance requirements for all types of electrical luminaires with requirements and related tests for their classification, marking, mechanical construction, electrical construction and photobiological safety. BS EN IEC 60598-1 Ed9:2021+A1:2022 is designed to be used in conjunction with the family of BS EN IEC 60598-2-X standards, each written to tailor the general requirements for use with specific types of luminaire.
