38 FOREWORD
39 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
40 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
41 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
42 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
43 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
44 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
45 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
46 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
47 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
48 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
49 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
50 interested IEC National Committees.
51 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
52 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
53 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
54 misinterpretation by any end user.
55 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
56 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
57 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
58 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
59 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
60 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
61 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
62 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
63 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
64 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
65 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
66 Publications.
67 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
68 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
69 9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
70 patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
71 respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
72 may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
73 the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch www.
74 [IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
75 IEC 60598-2-18 has been prepared by subcommittee 34D: Luminaires, of IEC technical
76 committee 34: Lighting. It is an International Standard.
77 This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition, amendment 1 published in 2023. This
78 edition constitutes a technical revision.
79 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
80 edition:
81 a) The, clause numbers and structure have been aligned with those of IEC 60598-1

90 main document types developed by IEC are described in greater detail at
91 www.iec.ch/publications.
92 This Part 2-18 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60598-1 and its
93 amendment(s). It was established on the basis of the tenth edition 2024 of that standard.

103 A list of all parts in the IEC 60598 series, published under the general title Luminaires can be found
104 on the IEC website.
106 The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
107 stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
108 specific document. At this date, the document will be
