Luminaires - Part 2-23: Particular requirements - Extra-low-voltage lighting systems for ELV light sources (IEC 60598-2-23:2020)

This part of IEC 60598 specifies requirements for extra-low-voltage lighting systems for ELV
light sources, intended for ordinary interior use on supply voltages not exceeding 1 000 V. The
luminaires, being connected in parallel, are supplied via freely suspended continuous
supporting conductors or profiles, the current in the ELV part of the system not exceeding 25 A.

Luminaires - Partie 2-23: Règles particulières - Systèmes d'éclairage à très basse tension pour lampes à filament (IEC 60598-2-23:2020)

L’IEC 60598-2-23:2020 spécifie les exigences pour les systèmes d’éclairage à très basse tension pour des sources de lumière TBT, prévues pour une utilisation ordinaire en intérieur, avec des tensions d’alimentation ne dépassant pas 1 000 V. Les luminaires, branchés en parallèle, sont alimentés par l’intermédiaire de conducteurs ou profils supports continus, librement suspendus. Le courant dans la partie TBT du système ne dépasse pas 25 A.
Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 1996 et son Amendement 1:2000. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente (il n’y a pas de modification technique majeure, voir Annexe A):
a) Le titre a été modifié pour permettre l'ajout d’autres sources de lumière;
b) Le domaine d’application a été mis à jour pour l'aligner sur celui des autres parties de la série IEC 60598-2 et pour inclure d’autres sources de lumière;
c) Les références normatives et la référence aux normes relatives aux transformateurs et aux appareillages de commande ont été mises à jour;
d) L’essai de court-circuit (23.7.6.1 et 23.7.6.2) a été supprimé et il est à présent fait référence au même essai dans la partie 1.

(informative)

Relationship between this European standard and the safety
objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU [2014 OJ L96] aimed to be
covered
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request relating to
harmonized standards in the field of the Low Voltage Directive, M/511, to provide one voluntary means
of conforming to safety objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to the
making available on the market of electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits
[2014 OJ L96].
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZZ.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding safety objectives of
that Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.

Part 2-23: Particular requirements – Extra-low-voltage
lighting systems for ELV light sources

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
...
