To determine suitability of conductors having a reduced cross-sectional area, connected to
controlgear that limits the current to 2 A, the following test shall be conducted:
a) disconnect the conductors being evaluated as close as practical to the lights source in the
luminaire and attach a resistive load using minimum 1 mm cross section test leads; these
leads shall be routed out of the luminaire in a manner that will have the least impact on
temperatures within the luminaire;
b) adjust the resistive load to measure the maximum output current of the control gear,
maximum measured current shall not exceed 2,5 A;
c) with the resistive load set to draw maximum output current, conduct the thermal test in
accordance with 12.4. (see Figure 33);
d) the resistive load is then set to 0 Ω (short circuit) and the thermal test repeated in
accordance with 12.4 (see Figure 33);
In no case shall the temperature of the luminaire wiring insulation exceed the limits stated in
Table 12.2 nor shall there be any indication of damage to luminaire wiring.

SECTION 11
Replace Section 11 with the following new Section 11:
SECTION 11: CREEPAGE DISTANCES AND CLEARANCES
11.1 General
Section 11 specifies minimum requirements for creepage distances and clearances in
luminaires.
NOTE 1 The way in which creepage distances and clearances are measured is specified in IEC 60664-1.
NOTE 2 The calculation method and the structure of the creepage distances and clearances are taken from
IEC 60664-1:2007 and IEC 60664-4.
NOTE 3 Annex U provides information about values for impulse withstand category III.
11.2 Creepage distances and clearances
11.2.1 General
Parts detailed in Table M.1 shall be adequately spaced. Creepage distances and clearances
shall be not less than the values given in Tables 11.1.A, 11.1.B and 11.2. Creepage distances
shall not be less than the required minimum clearance.
No values are specified for working voltages below 25 V r.m.s. and 60 V d.c. as the test
voltage of Table 10.2 is considered sufficient.
Distances between current-carrying parts of opposite polarity shall comply with the
requirements for basic insulation.
The minimum distances specified are based on the following parameters:
– for use up to 2 000 m above sea level;
– pollution degree 2 where normally only non-conductive pollution occurs, but occasionally a
temporary conductivity caused by condensation is to be expected;
– equipment of impulse withstand category II which is energy-consuming equipment to be
supplied from the fixed installation.
For details of pollution degrees or impulse withstand categories, IEC 60664-1 should be
consulted.
Compliance is checked by measurements made with and without conductors of the largest
cross section connected to the terminals of the luminaires. Internal wiring terminals of
luminaires shall be checked with actual conductors supplied with the luminaire fitted.
The contribution to the creepage distance of any groove less than 1 mm wide is limited to its
width.
A creepage or a clearance distance may be split into several parts. Any air gap less than
1 mm wide is ignored in calculating the total distances, unless the total clearance is less than
3 mm where one third of the air gap width shall be taken into account.
For luminaires provided with an appliance inlet, the measurements are made with an appro-
priate connector inserted.
Distances through slots or openings in external parts of insulating material are measured with
metal foil in contact with the accessible surface. The foil is pushed into corners and similar
© IEC 2017
places by means of the standard test finger specified in IEC 60529, but it is not pressed into
openings.
Reductions for creepage distances and clearances are allowed for luminaires which are (or
have parts) protected against pollution by the use of coating or potting, if the requirements
given in Annex P of IEC 61347-1:2015 are fulfilled.
The values in Table 11.1.A and 11.1.B do not apply to components for which separate IEC
publications exist, but do apply to mounting and accessibility distances to the component
when it is incorporated in the luminaire.
Creepage distances at a supply terminal shall be measured from the live part in the terminal
to any accessible metal parts, and the clearance shall be measured between incoming supply
wiring and accessible metal parts, i.e. from a bare conductor of the largest cross section to
the metal parts which can be accessible. At the internal wiring side of the terminal, the
clearance shall be measured between live parts of the terminal and accessible metal parts
(see Figure 24).
NOTE The measurements of the clearances from supply and from internal wiring differ because the luminaire
manufacturer does not have control over the length of insulation removed from the supply wiring by the installer.
When creepage distances and clearances are determined at bushings, cord anchorages, wire
carriers or clips, the measurement shall be made with the cable fitted.
11.2.2 Creepage distances
The minimum values for creepage distances are listed in Table 11.1.A
For the dimensioning of the creepage distances the r.m.s. values of the working voltage shall
be taken into account. In the case of an insulated circuit the requirements of Clause 4.31 and
Annex X shall be taken into consideration to find the working voltage.
The values of Table 11.1.A are valid for voltages with a frequency below 30 kHz. For higher
frequencies the following requirements shall apply.
– If the voltage and/or frequency requires higher creepage distances, the information
provided by the control gear manufacturer shall be followed, see footnote “c” of
Table 11.1.A.
– If the luminaire is used in combination with or together with components or devices other
than controlgear covered by the IEC 61347 series and which produces frequency above
30 kHz, the requirements of IEC 60664-4 shall be applied.

Creepage and clearance distances for luminaires with a higher
degree of availability (impulse withstand category III)
U.1 General
Clearance limits detailed in Section 11 of this standard have been established with reference
to the IEC 60664 series and based on impulse withstand category II. This level of impulse
withstand category is considered appropriate to normal usage of luminaires covered under the
scope of IEC 60598 standards. Annex U details the more onerous requirements of the
IEC 60664 series which would allow luminaires to have a higher overvoltage capability for an
impulse withstand category III should a higher degree of impulse withstand category be
requested.
U.2 Requirements for impulse withstand category III
Increased clearance requirements for impulse withstand category III are given in Table U.1.
These limits are applied in place of those given in Table 11.1.B should a rating of impulse
withstand category III be requested.
Creepage limits remains those required in 11.2.2, taking into account that creepage distances
shall not be less than the required minimum clearance.
For details of pollution degrees or impulse withstand categories, IEC 60664-1 should be
consulted.
The minimum distances specified are based on the following parameters:
– for use up to 2 000 m above sea level;
– pollution degree 2 where normally only non-conductive pollution occurs but occasionally a
temporary conductivity caused by condensation is to be expected;
– equipment of impulse withstand category III which is equipment in fixed installations and
for cases where the reliability and the availability of the equipment is subject to special
requirements.
