Luminaires for emergency lighting
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 60598-2-22 has been prepared by subcommittee 34D: Luminaires
of IEC technical committee 34: Lamp and related equipment.This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 1997, AMD1:2002 and
AMD2:2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision.This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:a) Clause 22.3, addition of definitions for PELF and Self-contained portable emergency
luminaire;b) Clause 22.5, updated with the introduction of requirements for non-replaceable lamp and
batteries;---------------------- Page: 5 ----------------------

connected to the circuit together with other clarifications regarding the controlgear and the
remote box with its connecting cabe to the emergency luminaire;d) Clause 22.12, improved requirements to ensure that the luminaire shall not become
unsafe;e) Clause 22.16, full revision of the photometric testing to align with ISO and CIE;

The provisions of Section 0 of IEC 60598-1 shall apply. The tests described in each
appropriate section of IEC 60598-1 shall be carried out in the order listed in this part of
IEC 60598-2.When testing combined emergency luminaires according to the requirements of this part, the
tests shall cover those parts of the luminaire which are involved with providing emergency
lighting taking into account the influence of all other luminaire parts and components. The
components and parts of the luminaires designed to provide only normal lighting shall be
subjected to the tests according to the requirements of the relevant part of IEC 60598-2 (for
example, if the luminaire is recessed, it shall be tested according to the requirements of the
part dealing with recessed luminaires).If some elements of an emergency luminaire are adjacent (within 1 m cable length) to the
main part of the luminaire, all the elements of the luminaire, including the means of inter-
connection, shall satisfy the relevant requirements of this document.The additional requirements covering self-contained portable emergency luminaires are given
in Annex E.The photometric tests of Clause 22.17 shall be made on a separate sample luminaire.
Derating factors should be applied during emergency lighting installation scheme design
which is relevant to the application. These factors are normally defined by the relevant
application standard.22.5 Classification of luminaires
Emergency luminaires shall be classified in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 of
IEC 60598-1 except that all emergency luminaires shall be classified as suitable for direct
mounting on normally flammable surfaces.Emergency luminaires shall also be classified as specified in Annex B.
22.6 Marking
The provisions of Section 3 of IEC 60598-1 shall apply together with the requirements of
22.6.1 to 22.6.20 below.22.6.1 Luminaires shall be clearly marked with the rated supply voltage or voltage range(s).
