FprEN IEC 60598-2-24:2026/prAA:2026 is a CENELEC draft amendment prepared by CLC/TC 34 "Lighting" for luminaires with limited surface temperatures. If approved, it will modify FprEN IEC 60598-2-24:2026 and is read together with EN IEC 60598-1. It is aimed at product design, testing and conformity assessment work for luminaire safety under the Low Voltage Directive.

What does FprEN IEC 60598-2-24:2026/prAA:2026 specify?

FprEN IEC 60598-2-24:2026/prAA:2026 specifies particular requirements for luminaires with limited surface temperatures. As a draft amendment, it is part of the European EN IEC 60598 series and is intended to be used with the general requirements and tests in EN IEC 60598-1.

The document is organized around the European foreword, a normative references annex, and an informative annex that links the standard to EU law.

Annex	What it covers
Annex ZA	Normative references to international publications and their corresponding European publications
Annex ZZ	Relationship between this European standard and the safety objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU

What are the key requirements of FprEN IEC 60598-2-24:2026/prAA:2026?

The key technical point in FprEN IEC 60598-2-24:2026/prAA:2026 is that conformity is assessed by combining this part with Part 1 and, where relevant, with other clauses identified in the directive mapping. Annex ZZ shows how the standard supports the safety objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU.

• Clause 6 is linked in Annex ZZ to safety objectives that also rely on Part 1 and Clause 7. In practice, this tells manufacturers that basic construction and safety evidence must be checked together, not in isolation.
• Clause 7 appears repeatedly in Annex ZZ, often together with Clauses 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17. This indicates that several safety objectives depend on a group of related design and test provisions, so a single test result is not enough on its own.
• Clause 11 is linked with Clauses 12, 13 and 15 for some safety objectives. For compliance work, that means the evidence package has to cover the linked clauses as a set.
• Clauses 12, 13, 14 and 15 recur in the Annex ZZ mapping. In practice, these clauses are part of the core safety assessment and should be reviewed together when preparing the technical file.
• Clauses 4, 8, 9, 10, 16 and 17 are also used in the correspondence table. Their repeated appearance shows that the standard spreads the safety assessment across several sections rather than concentrating it in one test chapter.
• Annex ZA makes IEC 60598-1:2024 and IEC 61347-1 part of the normative basis. This matters because the product has to meet the general luminaire requirements and any relevant controlgear safety requirements as well.
• Annex ZZ links the standard to Directive 2014/35/EU. For suppliers, that is the part used when building a conformity case for low-voltage electrical equipment.

What terms does FprEN IEC 60598-2-24:2026/prAA:2026 define?

• CLC/TC 34 - CENELEC Technical Committee 34, the committee responsible for lighting standards.
• CENELEC - The European electrotechnical standards organization that publishes EN IEC standards.
• EN IEC 60598-1 - The general requirements and tests standard for luminaires, used together with this part.
• IEC 61347-1 - The general safety requirements standard for controlgear for electric light sources.
• Directive 2014/35/EU - The Low Voltage Directive, which the standard is mapped against in Annex ZZ.
• Presumption of conformity - The legal effect described in Annex ZZ when the standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union.
• Annex ZZ - The informative annex that shows the link between the standard and EU safety objectives.

Who uses FprEN IEC 60598-2-24:2026/prAA:2026?

FprEN IEC 60598-2-24:2026/prAA:2026 is used by luminaire manufacturers, lighting designers, test laboratories, certification bodies and conformity assessment teams. It is also relevant to quality managers and buyers who need to check whether a luminaire design fits the temperature-related safety requirements for low-voltage electrical equipment.

In practice, these users apply it when designing products, planning tests, compiling technical documentation, and checking whether a luminaire can be assessed against the Low Voltage Directive.

What changed in FprEN IEC 60598-2-24:2026/prAA:2026 from the previous edition?

FprEN IEC 60598-2-24:2026/prAA:2026 is a draft amendment identified as prAA. It is intended to modify FprEN IEC 60598-2-24:2026.

Which standards are used with FprEN IEC 60598-2-24:2026/prAA:2026?

• EN IEC 60598-1:2024 + A11:2024 - Provides the general requirements and tests for luminaires; the foreword says this document is read in conjunction with it.
• EN IEC 61347-1:2024 - Provides the general safety requirements for controlgear for electric light sources, where controlgear is part of the luminaire system.
• IEC 60598-1:2024 - Listed in Annex ZA as the international publication behind the European reference.
• IEC 61347-1 - Listed in Annex ZA as a normative reference for controlgear safety.

What does the FprEN IEC 60598-2-24:2026/prAA:2026 document contain?

The document contains the European foreword, a normative references annex, and an informative annex on the relationship with Directive 2014/35/EU. The most useful technical content for compliance work is the correspondence table in Annex ZZ, which maps safety objectives to clauses and shows where clauses must be used together.

It also states that the draft is under enquiry, gives the proposed national implementation timing, and identifies the three official language versions. For engineers and assessors, the document is mainly a framework for linking luminaire temperature-related safety requirements to the general luminaire standard and to the Low Voltage Directive.
