La norme EN IEC 60598-2-1:2021, intitulée "Luminaires - Partie 2-1 : Exigences particulières - Luminaires fixes à usage général", établit un cadre essentiel pour les luminaires fixes utilisant des sources lumineuses électriques, fonctionnant à des tensions d'alimentation n'excédant pas 1 000 V. Ce document, qui annule et remplace la première édition publiée en 1979 ainsi que son amendement de 1987, constitue une révision technique visant à moderniser les exigences actuelles du secteur. L'un des points forts de cette norme réside dans son actualisation par rapport à la première édition. En intégrant des modifications importantes, notamment l'extension de son champ d'application pour inclure toutes les sources lumineuses électriques, la norme assure une plus grande pertinence dans un contexte technologique en constante évolution. De plus, les références mises à jour au Part 1 garantissent une cohérence dans l'application des exigences de sécurité et de performance pour les luminaires. Cela renforce la nécessité pour les fabricants et les utilisateurs de se conformer à des standards de qualité élevés, adaptés aux innovations du secteur de l'éclairage. La norme s'avère également essentielle pour les concepteurs et les ingénieurs qui doivent respecter des réglementations strictes concernant la sécurité électrique et la protection des utilisateurs. En intégrant les éléments de sécurité, EN IEC 60598-2-1:2021 favorise la confiance des consommateurs envers les produits d'éclairage, tout en facilitant l'harmonisation à l'échelle internationale. En conclusion, la norme EN IEC 60598-2-1:2021 est un document fondamental qui répond non seulement aux besoins actuels en matière de luminaires fixes à usage général, mais qui s'assure également d'une application uniforme des exigences à l'échelle mondiale. Sa pertinence et sa mise à jour en font un outil précieux pour les professionnels du secteur, garantissant sécurité et performance.
Die Norm EN IEC 60598-2-1:2021 legt spezifische Anforderungen für fest installierte Allgemeinbeleuchtungslampen fest, die mit elektrischen Lichtquellen bei Versorgungsspannungen von nicht mehr als 1.000 V betrieben werden. Diese zweite Auflage ersetzt die erste Auflage von 1979 sowie die Änderung 1 von 1987 und stellt eine technische Überarbeitung dar. Ein wesentliches Merkmal dieser Norm ist die Anpassung des Geltungsbereichs an Teil 1, um alle elektrischen Lichtquellen einzuschließen. Durch diese Aktualisierung wird sichergestellt, dass die Norm den aktuellen Technologien und Anwendungen in der Beleuchtung gerecht wird. Zudem wurden die Verweise auf Teil 1 aktualisiert, was die Kohärenz und die Anwendung der Norm verbessert. Die Stärken der EN IEC 60598-2-1:2021 liegen in ihrer umfassenden und klaren Definition von Anforderungen, die für die Sicherheit und Leistungsfähigkeit von fest installierten Leuchten essentiell sind. Die Norm berücksichtigt die neuesten Entwicklungen und Trends im Bereich der Raumbeleuchtung und bringt damit technische Relevanz für Hersteller und Anwender. Insgesamt ist die Norm ein wichtiges Dokument, das nicht nur sicherstellt, dass Produkte hohe Standards erfüllen, sondern auch die Einhaltung von Sicherheits- und Leistungsanforderungen in der Industrie fördert. Die EN IEC 60598-2-1:2021 ist daher von großer Bedeutung für alle, die im Bereich der Beleuchtung tätig sind, und bietet eine Grundlage, auf der zukünftige Entwicklungen und Innovationen aufgebaut werden können.

The standard EN IEC 60598-2-1:2021 presents a comprehensive framework focused on fixed general purpose luminaires designed for electric light sources operating at supply voltages not exceeding 1,000 V. The scope of this standard is clearly defined, reflecting a significant update from its predecessor first published in 1979. By canceling the original edition and its Amendment 1 from 1987, this newer edition reinforces a commitment to modernizing the requirements pertinent to luminaires, ensuring consistent applicability across various lighting technologies. One of the primary strengths of the EN IEC 60598-2-1:2021 standard is its alignment with Part 1, which broadens its applicability to encompass all electric light sources. This enhancement makes it exceptionally relevant in today's dynamic lighting market where the diversity of light sources continues to expand, including innovations in LED technology. The inclusion of updated references to Part 1 underscores the importance of maintaining coherence within the broader framework of luminaire standards. Furthermore, the technical revisions implemented in this newest edition, while not classified as major changes, contribute significantly to clarity and implementation for stakeholders involved in the design, manufacture, and regulation of fixed general-purpose luminaires. Such refinements are essential for ensuring compliance with modern safety and performance expectations in the lighting industry, ultimately benefitting manufacturers, consumers, and regulatory authorities alike. In summary, the EN IEC 60598-2-1:2021 standard establishes an effective and relevant basis for the specification of fixed general purpose luminaires, facilitating the ongoing evolution and enhancement of lighting solutions across various applications. The document serves not only as a guideline but as a vital tool in promoting safety, interoperability, and innovative development within the lighting industry.
