29 ____________
31 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TRACK SYSTEMS FOR LUMINAIRES
34 FOREWORD
35 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
36 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
37 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
38 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
39 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
40 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
41 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
42 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
43 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
44 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
45 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
46 interested IEC National Committees.
47 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
48 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
49 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
50 misinterpretation by any end user.
51 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
52 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
53 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
54 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
55 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
56 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
57 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
58 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
59 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
60 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
61 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
62 Publications.
63 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
64 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
65 9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
66 patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
67 respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
68 may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
69 the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
70 shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
71 IEC 60570 has been prepared by subcommittee 34D: Luminaires, of IEC technical committee
72 34: Lighting. It is an International Standard.
73 This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2003, Amendment 1:2017
74 and Amendment 2:2019. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
75 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
76 edition:
77 a) The clause numbers have been aligned with those of IEC 60598-1:2024;
78 b) ….

372 • for track systems designed to operate centrally supplied emergency luminaires: a warning
373 that the track and components shall be connected to a system designed to supply
374 emergency luminaires, to ensure the correct operating of emergency luminaires on the
375 whole system;
376 • for track systems used to supply a self-contained emergency luminaire: information that the
377 supply line for battery recharging shall be un-switched.
378 7 General requirements and ratings
379 Track systems shall be so designed and constructed that in normal use they function safely and
380 minimize the risk of danger to persons and surroundings. Accordingly, requirements, tests and
381 compliances are provided in this document to reduce the risk of harm to a tolerable level under
382 normal operating conditions, abnormal operating conditions and single fault conditions.
383 The rated voltage between poles for a class I track system shall not exceed 440 V and for a
384 class III system the rated voltage shall not exceed SELV voltage limits of 50 V AC RMS or 120 V
385 ripple free DC. The current rating for a class I track system shall be maximum 16 A and for a
386 class III system it shall be maximum 25 A. For a mixed system the rated current of each sector
387 opening shall not exceed the values given for a class I or a class III system respectively.
388 Compliance is checked by inspection of the marking.

394 systems using control signals via conductors designed for supply voltage.
395 8.2 Components for class I tracks shall be so designed that there is no risk of accidental
396 contact between the earthing contact of the component and the current-carrying parts of the
397 track during insertion and removal by the user.
398 This requirement does not apply during installation of the track system.
399 8.3 Adaptors, couplers and supply connectors shall be so constructed that electrical
400 connection with systems or sector openings of other classes of tracks made by the same
401 manufacturer is prevented.
402 For mixed supply track system, and where required for the safety of the system, the electrical
403 separation between different circuits (e.g. between SELV and LV supply) shall be provided
404 considering any possible configuration of the track system.
405 8.4 Class I adaptors shall incorporate provision for mechanical connection to the track such
406 that the weight of the adaptor and the luminaire is not supported by the electr
