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 ----------------------
– 4 – IEC 60598-2-22:2014 © IEC 2014

c) Clause 22.6, improved requirements to confirm that the charge indication is correctly

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;

f) Clause 22.17, now only references the requirements which are now covered in
IEC 61347-2-7;
g) Clause 22.19, now only references the requirements which are now covered in
IEC 61347-2-7;

h) Annex A, now includes nickel metal hydride batteries and reference to cell types in

IEC 61951-1;
i) Annex B, minor changes to the classifications;
j) Annex C, Figure C.1 deleted in favour of a revised text;

k) Annex E, the additional requirements covering self-contained portable emergency

luminaires
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
34D/1119/FDIS 34D/1131/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on

voting indicated in the above table.

This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

This standard is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60598-1 Luminaires – Part 1: General

requirements and tests.

A list of all parts in the IEC 60598 series, published under the general title Luminaires, can be

found on the IEC website.
In this standard, the following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type
– test specifications: in italic type
– notes: in small roman type.

The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until

the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data

related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,

22.4 General test requirements

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.
