Luminaires - Part 2-20: Particular requirements - Lighting chains
IEC 60598-2-20:2014 specifies requirements for lighting chains fitted with series, parallel or a combination of series/parallel connected light sources for use either indoors or outdoors on supply voltages not exceeding 250 V. For combinations where rope lights (also known as sealed lighting chains) are included, see IEC 60598-2-21. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (2010). This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition, where the requirements for rope lights (sealed lighting chains) have been removed and are now dealt with in IEC 60598-2-21.

Luminaires - Partie 2-20: Exigences particulières - Guirlandes lumineuses
L'IEC 60598-2-20:2014 spécifie les exigences applicables aux guirlandes lumineuses munies de sources lumineuses montées en série, en parallèle ou en combinaison série/parallèle pour emploi à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur, pour des tensions d'alimentation ne dépassant pas 250 V. Pour les combinaisons contenant des cordons lumineux (également appelés guirlandes lumineuses scellées), voir l'IEC 60598-2-21. Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition (2010). Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente. La principale modification est le retrait des exigences concernant les cordons lumineux (guirlandes lumineuses scellées), ces exigences étant à présent traitées dans l'IEC 60598-2-21.
Svetilke - 2-20. del: Posebne zahteve - Svetlobni nizi (IEC 60598-2-20:2014)
Ta del standarda IEC 60598 določa zahteve za svetlobne nize, opremljene z zaporedno, vzporedno ali
kombinirano zaporedno/vzporedno vezanimi svetlobnimi viri za notranjo ali zunanjo uporabo z napajalno napetostjo največ 250 V.
Za kombinacije, ki vključujejo viseče svetilke (znane tudi kot zaprti svetlobni nizi), glej standard IEC 60598-2-21.
Ta standard zajema svetlobne nize s priloženimi fiksnimi ali odstranljivimi pritrdili (npr. za okrasne ali dekorativne namene).
Za svetlobne nize s potisnimi okovi za sijalke se uporabljajo ustrezne zahteve tega standarda.
OPOMBA 1: Svetlobni niz za osvetlitev božičnega drevesa je primer svetlobnega niza, opremljenega z zaporedno ali zaporedno/vzporedno vezanimi sijalkami. Niz za osvetlitev smučišč ali sprehajališč je primer svetlobnega niza, opremljenega z vzporedno vezanimi sijalkami.
Za svetlobne nize z nestandardiziranimi sijalkami (npr. potisne sijalke) se sijalke obravnavajo kot del svetlobnega niza in so zato vključene v postopek preskušanja.
OPOMBA 2: Za proizvode, pri katerih je svetlobni niz trajno pritrjen na okvir ali predhodno osvetljeno božično drevo, se lahko uporabljajo tudi ustrezne točke standardov IEC 60598-2-4 in/ali IEC 60598-2-7.
OPOMBA 3: V nekaterih državah se namesto izraza »niz« uporablja izraz »veriga«.
OPOMBA 4: Svečne svetilke so preskušene v skladu s standardom IEC 60598-2-4.

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
