Overview
EN 60570:2003 - Electrical supply track systems for luminaires is a CLC/CENELEC harmonized standard (based on IEC 60570:2003, modified) that defines safety and performance requirements for electrical track systems used to distribute power to luminaires in ordinary interior environments. The standard applies to track systems with two or more poles and provision for earthing (Class 1), with a rated voltage not exceeding 440 V between poles, rated frequency not exceeding 60 Hz, and rated current not exceeding 16 A per conductor.
Key topics and requirements
EN 60570 addresses the essential aspects of track system safety, conformity and practical use, including:
- Scope and ratings - applicability to Class 1 track systems for ordinary interior use; maximum rated voltage (≤ 440 V), frequency (≤ 60 Hz) and current (≤ 16 A per conductor).
- Electrical safety - requirements for earthing/grounding (Class 1), conductor connectivity and safe live conductor segregation.
- Mechanical design and compatibility - dimensional and mechanical interface considerations to ensure safe, interchangeable connection of luminaires and track accessories.
- Marking and instructions - mandatory product identification, ratings and installation/operation instructions; safety instructions must be in a language acceptable in the country of installation (common modification).
- Referenced tests and symbols - cross-references to related IEC/EN publications (for example EN 60598-1 for luminaires and EN 61032 for probe tests) and use of standard graphical symbols (EN 60417 series).

The standard EN 60570:2003 is a comprehensive framework dedicated to electrical supply track systems specifically designed for luminaires in ordinary interior applications. Its scope is explicitly defined, covering track systems that operate with two or more poles and incorporate necessary earthing provisions (Class 1). This creates a significant safety standard by ensuring that the installation meets electrical safety requirements while facilitating the connection of luminaires to the electrical supply. One of the primary strengths of EN 60570 is its clear emphasis on safety and compatibility. With a rated voltage not exceeding 440 V between the poles (live conductors) and a rated frequency capped at 60 Hz, it aligns well with common voltage and frequency levels found in residential and commercial electrical systems. Additionally, a rated current limit of 16 A per conductor ensures that the track systems can handle typical electrical loads without compromising safety, hence minimizing risks associated with overheating or electrical fires. The relevance of EN 60570:2003 extends beyond mere compliance; it facilitates the design and installation of efficient electrical supply systems for luminaires. By standardizing technical requirements, it aids manufacturers, designers, and electricians in ensuring compatibility across various products and systems. This, in turn, promotes innovation and reliability in indoor lighting solutions, enabling stakeholders to deliver effective lighting solutions that are both safe and energy-efficient. Furthermore, the standard's well-delineated scope makes it a valuable reference for enhancing interoperability in electrical supply track systems, thereby boosting overall user satisfaction and trust in electrical installations. EN 60570:2003 stands as a pivotal standard in the field, effectively bridging safety requirements with practical application in the lighting industry.
