(Main)Luminaires - Part 2-8: Particular requirements - Handlamps
Luminaires - Part 2-8: Particular requirements - Handlamps
IEC 60598-2-8:2013 specifies requirements for handlamps and similar portable luminaires which are held in the hand, hooked up or resting on a surface for use with electric light sources on supply voltages not exceeding 250 V. It is to be read in conjunction with those sections of Part 1 to which reference is made. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 1996, its Amendment 1 (2000) and its Amendment 2 (2007). It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition. a) The requirements have been updated to make them consistent and to solve contradicting requirements introduced in the Amendment 2. In that amendment, a requirement was introduced specifying that handlamp shall always be classified as rough service luminaire only. The implication of this statement was that according to 4.13.4 of Part 1 this kind of luminaire shall always be IP54. This requirements is in contradiction with several points of this Part 2 where it is considered acceptable for ordinary luminaires (e.g. 8.11.1, 8.11.2 and 8.13.1). b) Furthermore, the contradiction between the requirement in 8.7.1 and 8.7.2 regarding the type of material used for the protective cover has been corrected.
Leuchten – Teil 2-8: Besondere Anforderungen – Handleuchten
Luminaires - Partie 2-8: Exigences particulières - Baladeuses
La CEI 60598-2-8:2013 spécifie les exigences applicables aux baladeuses et aux luminaires portatifs analogues qui sont tenus à la main, suspendus, ou posés sur une surface, à utiliser avec des sources lumineuses électriques pour des tensions d'alimentation ne dépassant pas 250 V. Elle doit être lue conjointement avec les sections de la Partie 1 auxquelles il est fait référence. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition, parue en 1996, son Amendement 1 (2000) et son Amendement 2 (2007). Elle constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente. a) Les exigences ont été mises à jour pour les rendre cohérentes et pour corriger des contradictions introduites dans l'Amendement 2. Une exigence a été introduite dans cet amendement spécifiant que les baladeuses doivent toujours être classées en tant que luminaires pour conditions sévères d'emploi uniquement. Cette déclaration impliquait que conformément au 4.13.4 de la Partie 1, ce type de luminaire doit toujours être IP54. Cette exigence est en contradiction avec plusieurs points de la Partie 2 où les luminaires ordinaires sont considérés comme acceptables (par exemple en 8.11.1, 8.11.2 et 8.13.1). b) De plus, la contradiction entre les exigences 8.7.1 et 8.7.2 concernant le type de matériel utilisé pour le capot de protection a été corrigée.
Svetilke - 2-8. del: Posebne zahteve - Ročne svetilke
Ta del standarda IEC 60598 določa zahteve za ročne svetilke in podobna prenosna svetila, ki se držijo v roki, so obešena ali položena na površino za uporabo z električnimi svetlobnimi viri z napajanjem z omrežnimi napetostmi do 250 V. Uporablja se skupaj s tistimi razdelki 1. dela, na katere se sklicuje. Ročne svetilke, ki jih je mogoče pritrditi na podporo z vijakom s krilci, sponko ali magnetom, in svetila za pregled notranjosti cevi so vključena v ta del standarda IEC 60598.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60598-2-8 has been prepared by subcommittee 34D: Luminaires,
of IEC technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 1996, its
Amendment 1 (2000) and its Amendment 2 (2007). It constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition.
a) The requirements have been updated to make them consistent and to solve contradicting
requirements introduced in the Amendment 2. In that amendment, a requirement was
introduced specifying that handlamp shall always be classified as rough service luminaire
only. The implication of this statement was that according to 4.13.4 of Part 1 this kind of
luminaire shall always be IP54.This requirements is in contradiction with several points of
this Part 2 where it is considered acceptable for ordinary luminaires (e.g. 8.11.1, 8.11.2
and 8.13.1).

b) Furthermore, the contradiction between the requirement in 8.7.1 and 8.7.2 regarding the
type of material used for the protective cover has been corrected.
This standard is intended to be read in conjunction with IEC 60598-1 Luminaires – Part 1:
General requirements and tests. It was established on the basis of the seventh edition (2008)
of that standard.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
