Overview

The oSIST prEN IEC 60598-2-1:2024 is a forthcoming international standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) under the technical committee TC 34D, focusing on luminaires. This third edition revises and replaces the 2020 version, offering an updated framework for the particular requirements of fixed general purpose luminaires powered by electric light sources with supply voltages up to 1,000 V. Its publication aims to harmonize safety, performance, and construction requirements to ensure lighting products meet rigorous and internationally recognized criteria.

The standard aligns its clause numbers and structure with the general standard IEC 60598-1, facilitating ease of application and consistency across luminaire product categories. It addresses various critical aspects, including marking, wiring, protection against electric shock, resistance to environmental factors, and endurance testing - ensuring fixed luminaires are safe, reliable, and suitable for general applications.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application
  Specifies requirements for fixed general purpose luminaires with supply voltages not exceeding 1,000 V.
• Safety and Protection
  Includes provisions covering protection against electric shock, earthing requirements, and safety marking essential for end-user security.
• Construction and Wiring
  Detailed requirements on the physical and electrical construction of luminaires, including internal and external wiring, screw and screwless terminals.
• Environmental Resistance
  Standards for resistance to dust, solid objects, and moisture (IP classification), thermal endurance, and resistance to heat, fire, and electrical tracking.
• Testing Procedures
  Defines general test sequences, endurance tests, insulation resistance, and thermal testing that manufacturers must conduct to validate product safety and reliability.
• Compliance and Harmonization
  Clause structuring aligned with IEC 60598-1 to promote international uniformity and simplify regulatory processes.

Applications

This standard is essential for manufacturers, designers, and testing laboratories involved in the production, assessment, and certification of fixed general purpose luminaires used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. It helps ensure these lighting products:

• Comply with international safety and performance norms, reducing the risk of electrical hazards.
• Meet durability requirements for consistent operation in varying environmental conditions.
• Maintain compatibility and interoperability with common electric supply systems up to 1,000 V.
• Gain market acceptance through adherence to recognized safety standards that facilitate cross-border trade and certification.

Adoption of oSIST prEN IEC 60598-2-1:2024 supports stakeholders in minimizing design flaws, enhancing product quality, and assuring consumer safety in fixed lighting applications.

Related Standards

• IEC 60598-1: General requirements and tests for luminaires, which serve as the base document alongside which Part 2-1 is applied.
• IEC 60598 Series: Covers different categories and types of luminaires with specific standards tailored to each type’s unique requirements.
• IEC Electropedia & ISO Online Browsing Platform: Provide standardized terminology essential for clear understanding and consistent implementation across luminaire standards.

Manufacturers and professionals should apply oSIST prEN IEC 60598-2-1:2024 in conjunction with IEC 60598-1 to ensure comprehensive compliance, leveraging the latest technical guidance and structured clauses for evaluation and certification.

39 FOREWORD
40 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
41 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
42 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
43 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
44 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
45 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
46 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
47 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
48 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
49 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
50 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
51 interested IEC National Committees.
52 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
53 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
54 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
55 misinterpretation by any end user.
56 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
57 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
58 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
59 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
