Low-voltage electrical installations - Part 5-559: Selection and erection of electrical equipment - Luminaires and lighting installations

IEC 60364-5-55:2011 covers requirements for the selection and erection of low-voltage generating sets and for the selection and erection of luminaires and lighting installations intended to be part of the fixed installation. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2001, its Amendment 1 (2001) and its Amendment 2 (2008). The major technical changes with respect to the previous edition are: - additional requirements for connection of luminaires to the fixed wiring; - modification of requirements regarding the fixing of luminaires; - inclusion of alternative solutions for connecting devices used for through wiring and for connection of luminaires to the supply; - withdrawal of Clause 556, as IEC 60364-5-56 now covers this matter.

Installations électriques à basse tension - Partie 5-559: Choix et mise en œuvre des matériels électriques - Luminaires et installations d'éclairage

La CEI 60364-5-55:2011 couvre les exigences pour le choix et la mise en oeuvre des groupes générateurs basse tension et est applicable au choix et à la mise en oeuvre des luminaires et des installations d'éclairage destinés à faire partie de l'installation fixe. Cette seconde édition annule et remplace la première édition, publiée en 2001, son Amendement 1 (2001) et son Amendement 2 (2008). Les modifications principales par rapport à l'édition précédente sont: - des exigences supplémentaires pour la connexion des luminaires à l'installation fixe; - des modifications d'exigences concernant la fixation des luminaires; - l'ajout de solutions alternatives pour les dispositifs de connexion utilisés pour le câblage passant et pour la connexion de luminaires au réseau d'alimentation; - la suppression de l'Article 556, maintenant couvert par CEI 60364-5-56.

Special national conditions
Special national condition: National characteristic or practice that cannot be changed even over a long
period, e.g. climatic conditions, electrical earthing conditions.

NOTE  If it affects harmonization, it forms part of the Harmonization Document.

For the countries in which the relevant special national conditions apply these provisions are normative, for
other countries they are informative.

conductor
In Denmark the third paragraph is replaced by the following requirement:
559.5.3
Cables for through wiring in luminaires prepared for through wiring but not delivered by

the manufacturer, shall be selected in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction
