Subclause 3.2.27
Annex R – Schedule of amended clauses and subclauses containing more
serious/critical requirements which call for products to be retested
The requirements of Subclause 3.2.27, and consequently the relevant requirements related to
Subclause 3.2.27 in Annex R, are to be considered applicable only to luminaires with built-in
or independent settable or programmable LED controlgear or incorporating a constant lighting
output function. The requirements are not applicable to luminaires with built-in or independent
controlgear having only a fixed output.
