Overview

HD 60364-5-559:2012/A11:2017 is a CENELEC harmonization document for low-voltage electrical installations, specifically dealing with the selection and erection of electrical equipment for luminaires and lighting installations. Amendment A11 (published August 2017) updates the 2012 harmonization document and includes changes to national provisions and annexes (notably the removal of some Danish special national conditions and the addition of Annex ZC with A-deviations). The document is intended for national electrotechnical committees, installation designers, installers and manufacturers operating within CENELEC member countries.

Key Topics

• Selection and erection of luminaires: Principles for choosing appropriate luminaires for low-voltage installations and guidance on correct mounting and support methods.
• Installation safety and protection: Measures related to protection against electric shock and safe wiring practices within lighting installations, consistent with the HD 60364 series.
• Through-wiring and connections: Requirements for luminaire through-wiring and connection methods including manufacturer instructions and approved connection devices.
• National deviations and harmonization: Amendment A11 modifies national special conditions (Annex ZB) and adds Annex ZC describing A-deviations (national regulations that remain in force), with specific references to Danish regulations and connection systems (e.g., DCL and lamp plug/socket references).
• Referenced standards: The amendment cross-references related product and safety standards (for example EN 60598-1 and national standards such as DS/EN 61995-2 and DS 60884-2-D1 are cited in Annex ZC).

Applications

This standard is practical for:

• Electrical designers and specifiers choosing luminaires and specifying mounting/support details for buildings and industrial sites.
• Installers and electricians performing safe erection, wiring, and connection of lighting systems according to harmonized rules and national deviations.
• Manufacturers and product engineers ensuring luminaire designs comply with installation requirements and referenced standards.
• Regulators and inspection bodies assessing compliance with low-voltage lighting installation requirements across CENELEC member states.

Related Standards

• HD 60364 series (general requirements for low-voltage electrical installations)
• EN 60598-1 (luminaires - general requirements and tests)
• DS/EN 61995-2 (Device for connection of luminaires - DCL)
• DS 60884-2-D1 (plugs and sockets for household or similar use)

This harmonization document supports safe, interoperable lighting installations, clarifies national deviations, and helps align luminaire selection and erection across European low-voltage installations.
