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 60598-2-20 has been prepared by subcommittee 34D: Luminaires,
of IEC technical committee 34: Lamps and related equipment.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.---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------

Part 2-20: Particular requirements –
Lighting chains
20.1 Scope
This part of IEC 60598 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.Lighting chains provided with fixed or detachable attachments e.g. ornamental or decorative,
are considered to be covered by this standard.For lighting chains fitted with lampholders of the push-in type, the appropriate requirements of
this standard applies.NOTE 1 A Christmas tree lighting chain is an example of a lighting chain fitted with series or series/parallel
connected lamps. A chain for illuminating ski-tracks or promenades is an example of a lighting chain fitted with
parallel connected lamps.For lighting chains with non-standardised lamps (e.g. lamps of the push-in type) the lamps are
regarded as a part of the lighting chain and consequently included in the testing.
NOTE 2 For products where the lighting chain is permanently fixed to a frame or pre-lit Christmas tree the relevant
clauses of IEC 60598-2-4 and/or IEC 60598-2-7 can also apply.NOTE 3 In some countries the term "strings" is used instead of "chains".
NOTE 4 Candlestick luminaries are tested according to IEC 60598-2-4.
