Luminaires - Partie 1: Exigences générales et essais

La CEI 60598-1:2008 spécifie pour les luminaires incorporant des sources lumineuses électriques, les exigences générales pour le fonctionnement à des tensions d'alimentation jusqu'à 1 000 V. Les exigences et les essais correspondants de cette norme concernent: la classification, le marquage, la construction mécanique et électrique. Cette septième édition annule et remplace la sixième édition parue en 2003. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Les changements majeurs qui peuvent affecter la certification des produits sont indiqués dans l'Annexe R. L'Annexe R indique où un nouveau texte a été introduit comportant des exigences majeures/critiques nécessitant que le produit soit retesté. Paragraphes 1.2.71, 3.2.19, 4.21, 4.24, Annexe P: Exigences pour les lampes autoprotégées et la protection UV. Paragraphes 1.2.42, 5.2.14, 5.2.16, 8.2.3, 9.2: Exigences TBTS. Paragraphes 1.2.78, 1.2.79, 1.2.80, 3.3, 10.1, 10.3, Annexe G: Courant de contact, courant de protection et brûlure électrique. Paragraphes 1.2.75, 1.2.76, 3.2.20, 4.14.3, Tableau 12.1: surfaces chaudes. Paragraphes 0.5.2, 1.2.83, Annexe V: Borniers avec contact de terre intégré. Paragraphes 3.2.22, Figure 1: fusibles remplaçables.1.2.8, 8.2.1, 8.2.4, 8.2.5, 8.2.6: Accessibilité à l'isolation principale des luminaires. Paragraphes 2.4, 12.6, 3.2.9, 3.2.21, 4.16, Annexe D, Annexe N: Marquage des luminaires non conçus pour être installés sur des surfaces normalement inflammables et recouverts avec un isolant. Paragraphes 4.12.4: Exigences de couple pour les douilles avec un seul moyen de fixation concernant une action de rotation. Paragraphes 9.2: Exigences pour la protection contre la projection d'eau sur les lampes. Le contenu des corrigenda d'octobre 2011 et décembre 2011 a été pris en considération dans cet exemplaire.
