LUMINAIRES –
Part 2-22: Particular requirements –
Luminaires for emergency lighting
FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The 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: Lamps and related equipment.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1990 and constitutes a
technical revision.
This standard is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60598-1.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
34D/462/FDIS 34D/464/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.
Annexes A, B and C form an integral part of this standard.
Annex D is for information only.

22.6 Construction
The provisions of section 4 of IEC 60598-1 shall apply together with the requirements of 22.6.1
to 22.6.19 below.
22.6.1 In emergency luminaires, fluorescent lamps used to provide emergency lighting shall
start in the emergency mode without the aid of glow starters as specified in IEC 60155. Such
starters shall not be in circuit during the emergency mode. The emergency lighting shall not be
provided by means of fluorescent lamps with built-in glow starters.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
22.6.2 Lamp control gear for operating the emergency lamp(s) and control units incorporated
into emergency luminaires shall comply with IEC 60924, IEC 60928 and IEC 61046.
Compliance is checked by the tests specified in the relevant sections of these standards.
22.6.3 The failure of any one luminaire connected to a circuit shall not affect other luminaires
connected to the same circuit.
NOTE – This requirement can be satisfied by means of a fuse, relay or other protective devices incorporated in
each luminaire, or by protection against excessive fault currents being inherent in the design of the luminaire
circuitry/components.
Compliance is checked by measurement and inspection.
22.6.4 For emergency luminaires, the mechanical strength tests given in 4.13 of IEC 60598-1
shall be applied with a minimum impact energy of 0,35 Nm to all external parts.
22.6.5 Whilst connected to a live supply, self-contained emergency luminaires shall have
adequate separation between the normal supply and live parts in the circuit for battery
charging. When there are exposed live parts, double insulation, reinforced insulation, earth
screen or other equivalent techniques can be used.
Additionally, in the event of bare contacts in the battery charging circuit a safety isolating
transformer shall be used. If a separating transformer is used as insulation between the normal
supply and the battery charging circuit, the insulation in the battery charging circuit shall
consist of at least basic insulation.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by the tests of 22.7 and 22.14
22.6.6 In centrally supplied combined emergency luminaires, electrical separation between
normal and emergency supplies shall be ensured by double insulation, reinforced insulation,
earthed screen or other equivalent means.
NOTE – The use of basic insulation only, for both circuits, or double/reinforced insulation on the normal supply
circuit fulfils this requirement. The connection of both circuits to a terminal block where the required
creepage/clearances are obtained by leaving one terminal free, without the possibility of connection between the
circuits, is also acceptable.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
